- "Who am I?"
- —Xion
Xion is the fourteenth member of Organization XIII, first appearing in the game Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. She is not actually a Nobody, and not even a true member of the Organization. Instead, she's an imperfect Replica of Sora created from his leaked memories by Xemnas as a fail-safe in case Sora proved to be useless to Organization XIII's plans. This, in consequence, slows Sora's progression of regaining his memories to fully awaken while in his pod, something which Naminé, DiZ, and Riku recognize.
As Sora's memories are the basis and component 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. Those with connections to Sora view her as Xion (and later, as Sora), while Xemnas and Xigbar see her as Ventus, and Saïx only sees a hooded doll.
Like Sora and Roxas, Xion can wield a Keyblade, the Kingdom Key, leading to a brief confrontation with Riku who questions why she can wield the Keyblade, and whether or not it is real.
In keeping with water-related names of Kairi, Naminé, and Aqua, Xion's name contains shio (潮), meaning "tide".
Story
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
When Axel is sent to Castle Oblivion, Xemnas entrusts Roxas to look after Xion, who quickly bonds with him. She reveals her ability to wield the Keyblade to him, and looks after him after he falls into a coma for several weeks in conjunction to Sora being put to sleep to regain his memories. After discovering that all Organization members in Castle Oblivion except Axel have been slain by Sora and Riku, Roxas, Axel, and Xion all begin spending more time together as per Roxas's suggestion and become fast friends, resembling in some points Riku, Sora, and Kairi.
However, a series of events begin to split the trio apart: While DiZ and Naminé oversee the restoration of the sleeping Sora's memories (moving him from Castle Oblivion to Twilight Town), Roxas begins to experience the process for himself, and begins to ponder over how he is able to wield the Keyblade and doubt the Organization's motives; Axel is reprimanded by their superiors for placing his friendship with Roxas and Xion above the Organization's goals; and Xion is thrown into disarray after a confrontation with Riku, who questions who she is and why she wields the Keyblade, becoming torn between staying with her friends and leaving the Organization to merge with her true self as Riku suggests. Eventually, Xion chooses to leave the Organization. When Roxas and Axel attempt to stop her, she gets in a physical fight with Axel that a horrified Roxas tries in vain to prevent.

Personality
First arriving at Organization XIII, Xion is a shy secluded individual. When going on a mission with Roxas, Xion begins to open up to him, and later Axel. While she may seem monotone, she does express emotions due to her nature of existence, and is always happy to be with her friends. However, she is somewhat emotionally fragile. She can become deeply enraged with the right provocation.
Fighting Style
As a replica of Sora, she can wield the Keyblade. Her fighting style greatly resembles his original Kingdom Hearts incarnation. However, her style is more similar to Roxas. Like Roxas, she thrusts with one hand and her finisher resembles the Vortex ability. The two can apparently share keychains with each other, allowing them to use the same Keyblades. In multiplayer, they also have the same limit break, Event Horizon. Xion appears somewhat vulnerable to attacks. Examples include her easily rendered unconscious after Axel smacks her upside the head and swiftly knocked to the ground in one blow to the back from Riku. Before Xion obtains a Keyblade of her own, she is limited to simply shooting magic out of her hand. Both Xion and Roxas share the same attribute, Light. Xion's essence lives on in Roxas after being absorbed. The process allowed him to dual-wield his and her Keyblades.
Quotes
"Is it that I'm not supposed to exist?"
"I want...I wanna be...With you two..."
"I can't, not the way I am now."
"What would it take for me to be like you?"
"So, do you hate me for taking your friend away from you?"
"You have poured so many memories into me. Given me so much, that I feel like I'm about to over flow. Look at me, Roxas. Who do you see?"
"Don't hold back..... Axel"
"This is Sora"
"No.... I'm disappearing because I want to. I won't let Xemnas have his way."
Trivia
- During Xion's battles, Roxas is transported to Wonderland, Halloween Town, Agrabah, and finally Twilight Town. It is unknown why Xion does this. Although, this is most likely a side effect of having Sora's memories. Sora has visited these worlds before, with the exception of the real Twilight Town. Although, Sora visited a memory-generated Twilight Town in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories.
- When Xion takes the physical appearance of Sora, her Organization garments turn into a male equivalent (very similar to Roxas). This may imply that her entire body is the same as Sora's. However, her voice is still the same.
- During her nightmare at Destiny Islands, Xion recalls not Sora's but Riku's memories of his confrontation with Zexion, something Sora never had the knowledge of. It is possible that some of the leaked memories that created Xion came also from Riku. However, that is never revealed.
- During a scene where Xigbar is about to battle Xion in Wonderland, he sees her appearance as Ven. This distracts him, allowing her to knock him to the ground. This is likely due to the fact that she is made of Sora's memories. However, Ven's connection to Sora remains unknown.
- When listening to Xion's theme, parts of Kairi's theme can be heard in certain parts. This further emphasizes their memory-based connection to one another.
