Strelitzia

Strelitzia is a Keyblade wielder and the younger sister of Lauriam who appears in Kingdom Hearts Union χ. She is one of the Keyblade wielders from Daybreak Town who was asked by Master Ava to join the Dandelions, and was then chosen by the Master of Masters to lead a Union after the Keyblade War. Like the other new Union leaders, she was given a rulebook set by Master Ava. She was also intended by the Master of Masters to receive her own copy of the Book of Prophecies unbeknownst to the other Union leaders; however, Strelitzia was struck down by an unknown assailant who stole her rulebook.

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 another wielder in her Union,. 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 missions, and 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, after witnessing Player stand up to Aced, Strelitzia was approached by Ava, who revealed to her the world's imminent 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 with a rulebook 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 entering 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 rulebook. In her last moments, Strelitzia laments how she did not have the courage 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 faded away.

Design
Strelitzia has long red hair that frames her face, with her bangs falling over her forehead down past her eyebrows while the rest of her hair is tied back in two long pigtails that reach past her waist on either side of her head. Strelitzia also has fair skin and bright teal eyes, and wears a white dress with black straps that fall over her shoulders and tie together in a bow on the front. Additionally, Strelitzia has matching sleeves on both of her arms, and wears thigh-high white boots.
