Don't remember me.

Sorry for inaccuracies in the outfit. The renders on the wiki aren't very clear... I wanted to draw Xion in the armor this way. x'3 More art to prove I'm not dead and get back into the swing of things? Yay!

There's nothing I particularly like or dislike about Xion. She just is. The amount of people who flipped out over her sudden appearance is ironic in comparison to the fact that when Namine was introduced the fanbase was still virtually nonexistent and no one complained about her as loudly or for as long as people complained about Xion. Xion is important in ways you clearly don't understand if you can't accept her existence in the series.

I don't give a damn that she's female, that she was declared member 14, or that she's buddybuddy with Roxas and Axel. The most important things about her are things that aren't even explained to you up front. She's engineered from partial memories and yet she's capable of stability.

Think for one deep moment over why Organization XIII, specifically Xemnas, might care about this, other than fact she can wield a Keyblade. If you can realize the true reason: Xehanort would seek to be reborn, not just cloned, but literally and wholly transplanted into a blank existence where he no longer has to deal with third party go-betweens such as Terra and Riku. The Organization's experiments with both memories and cloning show the obvious conclusion: she's probably a beta version of a much larger project in which Xehanort himself is the subject.

But Xion is, in personality, not Sora, not Roxas, not Ventus, and definitely not Vanitas. She is not the hero and she is not the villain. The hows and whys of how the game ended can be pretty vague from an outsider's perspective, so if you haven't played it yourself, you might want to brush yourself up on the wiki before blindly hating a character you know little about. Granted, there is little to know, but if you're only seeing the superficial sides to her and not her actual purpose within canon - you need to do some re-evaluating.
