## Profile

### Identity

Saber's true identity is **Fiora**, the deuteragonist in Xenoblade Chronicles. She is a childhood friend of Shulk and Reyn as well as Dunban's younger sister. Despite appearing near the beginning of the game, she is the last of the protagonists to join the party permanently. This is due to the fact that she is believed to be killed by Metal Face, which fuels Shulk's main reason for setting out on his journey.

Later, she is revealed to be alive, but has been turned into a Faced Mechon known as Face Nemesis, though unknown to most, she has also become the host for the Mechonis god, Meyneth. She also serves as Shulk's love interest.

### Appearance

Fiora is a young woman of average stature (about 160 cm; 5'3") and has rounded green eyes. Fiora has long blonde hair that falls just past her shoulders and a somewhat petite frame. However, despite her delicate frame Fiora is very physically fit. Fiora's default outfit consists of a white bralette with knitted sleeves, a short orange skirt with brown accessories over white shorts, and brown leggings. She wears white heeled shoes, a pink clip in her hair, and a choker with a red gem attached.

After the events of Galahad Fortress, Fiora has a different appearance with a mechanised body; she now possesses a white, black and gold exoskeleton suit matching the appearance of Face Nemesis, with two wing-like cannons and a shorter haircut. A raised golden triangle on her chest is the source of her power.

### Personality

Fiora has been shown to be a very kind and caring person who wants to help everyone. She is the primary carer for her brother in the year after his injury at the Battle of Sword Valley, and also incredibly protective of Shulk, to the point where she does not even trust Reyn with his safety.

Fiora is an energetic, cheerful and playful person. She has been shown to be able to read people rather easily, such as when she predicts Reyn and Shulk would forget the Ether canisters and when she reads peoples' emotions in her Heart-to-Hearts. This trait allows her to get to know every member of the party extremely fast, possibly indicating that she makes friends easily. The byproduct of this trait is that Fiora can convey and show her emotions easily and does frequently, however she tends to show all of her emotions.

Despite being a careful person, Fiora does not hesitate to take courageous, self-sacrificing actions when necessary to protect others, which can lead to dire consequences (most notably her own death). She notes that this was reckless in a Heart-to-Heart with Dunban and vows not to make the same mistake again. Fiora will do nearly anything to help people, but she often does so without thinking about how everyone will feel afterwards.

In some heart-to-hearts, it is implied that Fiora is in fact very scared about the situations she is in, but puts on a brave face so she does not feel like a dead weight. This trait further develops near the story's climax as starts to verbally express that she is a dead weight to everyone. Throughout the story, Fiora is a calm and collected person, rarely showing any form of anger.

## Abilities

Fiora wields Twin swords made from parts of the Mechonis that Fiora received from Egil after she was given her new mechanical body. Despite their size, they were designed to be easy to use. They have a minimum Attack power of 180 and maximum Attack power of 260. Fiora uses these for most of her attacks, including a lot of her Battle Arts, and they’re quite effective in racking up damage, as she attacks twice while using them.

Her Drones are special equipment that Fiora wears on her back. No matter what type of Drone it is, there are always four of them in total, and they raise her Physical Defense and Ether Defense, with ether basically being life energy. They also allow her to perform different Talent Arts depending on the type of Drone equipped. She can only wear one at a time, but is able to switch one out with another on the fly.

When Fiora rejoined her friends, she was equipped with several armor pieces that were made from the fusion of her Homs tissue and Mechonis parts. Every single armor part specializes in ether and has a gem built into it, which is an add-on to her weapons or armor that gives different benefits to Fiora depending on the type of gem.

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Riding (B Rank): In her lifetime, Fiona has have knowledge of vehicles. As she has riden a couple sometime.

* Magic Resistance (B Rank): Her Skills and Meyneth's power will have Fiora obtain resistances to different types of magic effects.

#### Personal Skills

* Bravery (A Rank): Fiora exhibits an extreme protectiveness of the people she cares for, especially and particularly Shulk, when they are threatened. This appoints to where she can face dangers head on to protect someone, even if it leads to reckless self-endangerment. It is also a special branch of her personality that gave her a set of passive skills when in a fight.

* Protection of the Goddess (B Rank): Fiora can use Meyneth's power to protect herself and her allies from any harmful attack. Such as a giant forcefield to protect herself and those around her from attacks. She can even release a wave that surrounds her, making herself and those around her defy gravity and float in the air. Those that are in the wave are still able to move around with their own free will.

* Tracking Radar (D Rank): Fiora has a built-in tracking radar that she can use to find out where she is and see where other people are.

* Mystic Eye (B Rank): Using Meyneth’s power, Fiora is able to foresee events from the future, similar to Shulk. When in battle, these usually occur when an enemy is about to perform a powerful attack that would majorly harm or kill her or any allies. Fiora can then use this knowledge to avoid the attack, preventing that future from ever happening. She can also see visions in out of battle scenarios, such as needed items for quests, the potential outcome of a quest she’s accepted, or disasters that are going to take place.

* Battle Arts (B-A+ Rank): Battle Arts are a set of attacks that Fiora is able to use in battle. Each one has its own effects that make them more useful than just a regular attack, whether they be attacks that inflict something on the enemy or buffs that support Fiora. However, after using an Art, she has to wait a bit before she is able to use it again.

* Talent Arts (B-A+ Rank): Talent Arts are special moves that Fiora can perform once her Talent Gauge is full, which is a meter that rises every time she attacks normally without using a Battle Art. Most of her friends can only perform one Talent Art, but Fiora can change hers depending on the type of Drone she has equipped at the time. However, once she’s used any one of them, the Talent Gauge resets and she has to fill it up again to perform another Talent Art.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Final Cross; "Mass Rain of Ether Arts"**

Fiora’s strongest Art that she learned when she and her friends fought the Faced Mechon Jade Face. She charges up before releasing multiple beams of electrical ether energy for a four-hit frontal cone attack that forces Topple on the enemy. It can also reverse the effects of mind control and memory wiping on others, and instead of multiple beams, Fiora can expand an energy wave all around herself. However, she can only use this Art when her tension is very high.

#### **Soul of Meyneth; "Crest of the Machina Goddess"**

Fiora has the Soul of the Goddess of Mechonis, Meyneth who is that of Zanza's equal. Originally implanted into the Face Nemesis, she was sent into remission from exhaustion inside Fiora's mind after the destruction of Galahad Fortress. While Meyneth and Fiora occupy the same body, neither are originally fully aware of the others' presence. Meyneth completely controls the body at first, although comes to share it for a while later. Fiora is able to utilize Meyneth's power in battle, enhancing her abilties. Meyneth will also appear from time to time to help and protect Fiora and give advice. Meyneth can leave Fiora and even be killed.

#### **Meyneth Monado; "Mechon Goddesses' Blade"**

With Meyneth being present within her chest component, Fiora is able to utilize the goddess’s Monado, which is essentially the Mechonis’s sword. Due to the Meyneth Monado’s ability to change shape depending on how the wielder fights, Fiora is granted two powerful swords instead of just one. They have a minimum Attack power of 350 and maximum Attack power of 400. The Meyneth Monado are Fiora’s strongest weapons, and they also have a few gems built into them.
