Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- While she was originally a misanthrope, she later reformed that trait when Rex helped her realise that the world isn't so bad after all.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2[]
- After the events regarding finding Pyra and her reviving Rex by sharing her Core Crystal with him, Nia defects from the Torna group and joins Rex on his journey.
- When the Ardainian Emperor Niall is mortally wounded by Bana to a point where his Blade Aegaeon returns to his Core Crystal, Nia uses her true power (albeit privately) to revive him.
- Unwilling to see anyone else die on her watch, she finally decides to reveal her true power and transforms into her Blade form. With that revelation, she becomes Rex's Blade until they reunite with Pyra and Mythra, upon which Rex gains his Master Driver status and awakens Pneuma.
- She helps Rex defeat Malos in the final battle against him in Artifice Aion.
- After Malos is mortally wounded by Rex and Pneuma and dies, Nia sadly watches as he fades away into particles and disperses, after which she reverts to her Driver form for good, and evacuates with everyone else while Pneuma remains behind to sacrifice herself by self-destructing Aion and destroying the World Tree to save Alrest.
- She encourages Rex to reunite with Pyra and Mythra at the end of the game.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3[]
- She planned to prevent the two worlds from fusing again because that would cause everyone to die, which culminated in her teaming up with Melia to create Origin, an ark containing all the knowledge of their societies and the literal souls of their citizens, allowing them to be reborn after their worlds split and returned to their original forms. However, Origin would get corrupted, but this was an accident.
- She talked M out of an attempt to commit suicide by falling from a cliff, and entrusted to her the key to Cloudkeep, encouraging M to help break Moebius' hold on the world.
- She helps Ouroboros defeat Z∞, allowing them to reactivate Origin and rebuild their worlds.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- While she does subvert her misanthropic tendencies, Nia is still a little jerkish and cocky even after she redeems herself. However, her jerkish behaviour is not a defining part of her character, so this is a minor prevention.
- At the beginning of chapter 7, Nia angrily hits Rex twice when he wanted to leave the party after Jin attacked them and kidnapped Pyra and Mythra, blaming himself for it. Although Nia wanted Rex to come to his senses and not give up, the way that she and Brighid did, was by hitting him and being harsh, giving the realistic outcome to Rex sticking in his decision. While Rex ultimately stayed with them, it was actually thanks to Poppi, since Nia at the end gave up on trying to convince Rex. Also, she was never shown to have apologized to Rex for the way she acted.
Trivia[]
- She is one of Rex's three wives.
- They are also all ranked differently in moral scaling, with Nia being NPG, Pyra being PG and Mythra being IA.
- As of now, she is the only female Xenoblade Chronicles character to be Near Pure Good so far.
- Among all of the Xenoblade Chronicles party members in the entire franchise, Nia swears the most.
