Nia (Blade)

Nia is one of the main playable characters in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. She is a Gormotti Driver and is accompanied by her special Blade, Dromarch, who calls her "Lady" like a butler. She comes from the Gormott Province. Originally a member of Torna, she defects to Rex after Pyra's awakening. Nia usually comes across as sarcastic and cynical, always having a witty put-down at other characters' shortcomings. She is initially unfriendly and dismissive of Rex, particularly due to his belief in Elysium which she sees as childish naivety. She has a good political understanding of the annexing of Gormott by the Empire of Mor Ardain, and opts to save lives where possible in opposition to the other members of Torna. She displays empathy for Pyra's situation and develops a teasing camaraderie with the rest of the party, warming especially to Rex as she gets to know him better.
