Xion (Japanese: シオン, Hepburn: Shion; English: SHEE-ohn) 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 de facto fourteenth member of Organization XIII, a group 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 veteran member Axel. In contrast to her comrades, Xion does not bear memories from her original self; instead, she 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. She returns as a supporting character and boss fight in the sequel Kingdom Hearts III. 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 who was different in nature from the other members. While scenario writer Tomoko Tanemaki came up with the idea for her character, director Tetsuya Nomura designed her. In the Japanese version, the character is voiced by Risa Uchida. In the English version, she is voiced by Alyson Stoner in most appearances, with Hayden Panettiere voicing her in select games. Xion's character has been well received by video game publications due to her role in 358/2 Days as well as her relationship with Roxas and Axel. The character's origins and relationship with Sora led to discussions about queer themes and existentialism in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, whereas her return in Kingdom Hearts III was generally the subject of positive response for the closure to her arc.
