Murderess

Sharon Effinger (), also known as the Murderess () is a recruitable character in Xenoblade Chronicles X.
While she works as a Curator under BLADE, she'll do anything in order to earn and keep her money.
==Appearance and personality==
The Murderess has a white bowlcut hairstyle and purple eyes. Her default bodywear is a long-sleeved gray and white shirt with black gloves and a comparatively more armored set of legs.
The Murderess prefers to go for jobs that make large amounts of money, and if the prize is large enough, she'll do anything to keep it for herself. She and Irina don't particularly like each other, as she sees Irina as the "fun police" while Irina sees her as someone who shot her in the back on a previous mission. That being said, despite her cruelty, she's more focused on the money rather than actual murder.
===Character Bio===
The Murderess's remarkable skills are contrasted by a mysterious focus on money that leads her to betray others without a second thought. Such a reputation means that no operative wants to team up with her if they can help it, and as such, her true ambitions remain unclear.
===Battle Style===
The Murderess ruthlessly cuts down foes before they can counterattack. Her unique style is based on the Winged Viper class.
==Story arc==
===My Dream===
Cross and Irina find the Murderess goading a group of BLADEs into fighting each other and seeing who's going to participate in a mission with her. She finds Cross intriguing, and asks them to come with her on a mission. Whether they agree or not, she's already signed them and Irina up to gather White Whale debris in Noctilum's Middle Hushflood.
When they arrive at the site, the Murderess pulls a gun on them and demands the group give up their claim to the reward money or die, bringing some of the BLADEs from the earlier fight with her. The mission can end one of two ways: if they cede the claim, the Murderess will let them go, and Irina states she's going to report her to Eleonora. However, the Murderess manages her way out of a punishment by making sure the team gets everything except the actual money for the job, and since they weren't hurt, there isn't much they can do.
If Cross refuses, the Murderess tells her cronies to fight them and leaves, and they'll have to fight Otis' Running Shark and the other two BLADEs. When they win and return to Eleonora, it's revealed that the Murderess picked up the credits and gave her word that Irina would return with the goods for the rest of the rewards; implying she bet on them winning.
Regardless of the ending, Eleonora states the Murderess left a message for Cross to stop by for another adventure. Irina concludes that they've gained the world's worst fan.
