Xion

Story and background

A replica created to absorb Sora's memories and act as an alternate Keyblade bearer. Her sacrifice allows Sora to awaken, but later restoration gives her a life alongside Roxas and Lea.

Events and connections in the series

Roxas, newly named and nearly empty of memories, entered the Organization while Sora continued his journey. A girl called Xion would soon be introduced as another member. At this point Roxas and Xion were not merely waiting in storage for their eventual plot lines. Their daily lives had already begun during the closing stretch of Sora's first adventure. That overlap is why presenting all of Three Five Eight Days over Two as an event after Chain of Memories gives a misleading picture.

At the top, Naminé offered Sora a choice. She could repair the damage to his original memories, but the process would make him forget the people and events of the castle. Sora entered a sleeping pod, hoping that, when he woke, he would be himself again. Naminé began an enormous act of reconstruction. Unfortunately, the memories she needed were also tangled with two living people outside the pod: Roxas and Xion.

While Sora's memory was being repaired, Roxas worked for Organization Thirteen. His Keyblade released hearts that the Organization collected for its artificial Kingdom Hearts. He spent his free hours eating sea-salt ice cream on the Twilight Town clock tower with Axel. Then Xion joined them. The three became friends despite living inside an organization built on lies.

Historical context

Organization XIII repeatedly claims that Nobodies lack hearts, but the lives of Roxas, Axel and Xion complicate that claim. The struggle between assigned purpose and individual relationships is central to the Organization’s conflicts.
