'''Xion''' is the fourteenth member of [[Organization XIII]], first appearing in the game ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', in which she could be viewed as both a protagonist and antagonist. She is not a normal [[Nobody]], and is only a nominal member of the Organization. Because of this, she does not have a throne in [[The World That Never Was|Where Nothing Gathers]], nor does she have a title or a breed of Nobody to control. Instead, she's an imperfect [[Replica]] of [[Roxas]] created from [[Sora]]'s leaked memories as a fail-safe in case both Sora and Roxas proved to be useless to Organization XIII's plans. While this enables her to use the [[Keyblade]], Xion's existence also halts Sora's progression of regaining his memories to fully awaken while in his pod, something which [[Naminé]], [[DiZ]], and [[Riku]] recognize.
'''Xion''' is Rank.XIV of [[Organization XIII]] but is only a nominal member of the organization,meaning she does not have a throne in [[The World That Never Was|Where Nothing Gathers]], nor does she have a title or a breed of Nobody to control. She first appears in the game ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', in which she could be viewed as both a protagonist and antagonist.


As Sora's memories are the basis of her being, Xion initially resembles [[Kairi]], who was Sora's strongest memory at the time of her birth, though her physical appearance eventually changes depending on who is viewing her and who they have connections with. Roxas, Axel, and Riku see her as Xion (and later as Sora), while [[Xemnas]] and [[Xigbar]] see her as [[Ventus]], and [[Saïx]] sees her only as a hooded doll. As Naminé stated while talking with Riku, Xion's face was originally blank, until Sora's memories found their way into Xion and she gained an identity.

Xion's name was coined by Tomoco Kanemaki, one of ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'''s scenario writers and the writer of the [[Kingdom Hearts series (novels)|Kingdom Hearts Novels]]. Tetsuya Nomura took a liking to it and notes that it has many meanings. Xion's name contains the Japanese words for {{nihongo|"tide"|潮|shio}}, fitting the oceanic naming theme of Kairi and Naminé, and {{nihongo|''[[wikipedia:Aster tataricus|Aster tataricus]]''|紫苑|shion}}, which, according to [[wikipedia:Hanakotoba|Japanese floriography]], means "I won't forget you" or "remembrance". It is also revealed within the [[Secret Reports]] that her "original name" was "No.''i''", her ID as an experiment of the [[Replica Program]]. The "''i''" used here is in fact the [[wikipedia:i (number)|imaginary number]].

Xion's Organization coat is similar to the one Roxas wears, with slightly pointed shoulders and closer-fitting sleeves. She also wears the more feminine, heeled boots that [[Larxene]] wears and the basic black gloves. Physically, Xion strongly resembles Kairi in her appearance from ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', having her blue eyes and virtually the same haircut, though Xion's hair is black and her bangs part on a different side. She is a bit shorter than Roxas. As a result of her being crafted from Sora's memories, Xion's appearance is somewhat unstable, as she is known to transform into Roxas (in his [[Black Cloak]]) and both Riku and Sora in their original appearances from the first game. Her appearance is also slightly different depending on who is looking at her. Most of the Organization, such as Saïx and, early on, Axel, view her as a hooded puppet, while to Xigbar she appears identical to Ventus. Xemnas, on the other hand, sees her true form—a perfect copy of Sora.
