Xion (シオン Shion) is a fictional character from Square Enix's video game franchise Kingdom Hearts. She was introduced in the 2009 game Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days as the newest and fourteenth member from the group Organization XIII which is composed of Nobodies, beings created from people who lost their heart. In her time working for Organization XIII, Xion befriends Roxas, another new member from the organization, as well as Axel. In contrast to her comrades, Xion does not bear memories from her original self and instead starts receiving memories from other people. This leads her to learn about her true nature as a replica of Sora, the series' protagonist and Roxas' original self, as well as what she should do. Xion's character has been voiced by Risa Uchida and Alyson Stoner in Japanese and English, respectively.
Xion was conceptualized during development of the game Kingdom Hearts II in which the staff wanted to explain the reason why Roxas left Organization XIII. Additionally, the staff wanted to create a new member from the cartel but having a different nature from all the other members. While scenario writer Tomoko Tanemaki came up with the idea for her character, director Tetsuya Nomura designed her. Xion's character has been well-received by video game publications due to her role in 358/2 Days as well as her relation with Roxas and Axel
