Template:Enemy Strelitzia is a Keyblade wielder who appears in Kingdom Hearts Union χ. She is a member of the Dandelions and was chosen by the Master of Masters to lead a Union after the Keyblade War.

Story

Kingdom Hearts χ

Having been a Keyblade wielder for the past two years, Strelitzia had been fighting a long time and seen party members come and go. Over time, Strelitzia took notice of Player, who was always waiting at the Fountain Square whenever she returned from her duties. One day, Strelitzia saw Player as they sat and waited for Ephemer, holding their Chirithy and crying when Ephemer did not show. Strelitzia saw Player from time to time after that during their missions and began to follow them instinctively. Though she could never muster the courage to speak with Player, Strelitzia could sense that there was something special about Player, as they saw things differently than everyone else. Although Player did not know her, Strelitzia came to see them as a friend, and looked forward to the day the two of them could talk to one another.

Later, Strelitzia was inducted into the Dandelions and was trained by Ava to prepare for the world outside. One day, Ava approached Strelitzia personally, explaining to her how the world would soon come to an end. Asking that Strelitzia become one of five Dandelions to succeed the Foretellers as Union leaders following the events of the Keyblade War, Ava provides her a book of laws by which the Union leaders would be required to follow.

Strelitzia began to have doubts about becoming a Union leader because she felt uneasy about leaving those who were not Dandelions to take part in the Keyblade War. Realizing that Player is not one of the Dandelions, Strelitzia resolves that she has to tell them the truth about the fate of the world. The next day, Strelitzia and her Chirithy learn that Player was last seen by an abandoned house and go to investigate, though Player is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, someone comes out from the shadows and attacks both Strelitzia and her Chirithy, stealing Strelitzia's book of laws given to her by Ava. In her last moments, Strelitzia recalls how she really wanted to speak with Player, carrying her Chirithy in her arms as she fades and her heart is released.

Personality

Strelitzia is a quiet and shy girl. Strelitzia is considerate and caring for others when she realizes that those who are not Dandelions will perish in the war. When chosen to be a Union leader, Strelitzia expresses doubts that she is qualified for the role, showing lack of confidence in herself.

She seems to have a high opinion of Player, regarding them as a friend in spite of never formally introducing herself to them. Due to the kinship she feels for Player, she tries to save Player from the Keyblade War, and harbors regret that she was unable to meet Player in person before she died.
