Pyra

Pyra is one of the female protagonists in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. She is the Aegis, a Legendary Blade who can grant tremendous fire-elemental power to her Driver, Rex. Pyra and Rex embark on a journey to search for Elysium, and Rex is devoted to protecting her. Due to sharing her life force with Rex, Pyra is not able to recover from injuries like other Blades, and is as vulnerable to damage as any other human. If either of the two were to die, the other would follow. Pyra was designed by Masatsugu Saitō, the lead character designer for the game. Pyra is a young woman with short red hair that she styles into a bob cut and red eyes. Green ether lines can be seen running through her body when using her power. After resonating with Rex, Pyra's emerald crucifix-shaped Core Crystal loses its center, leaving a X-shape mark behind. Pyra wears short red and black armor with gold and green ornamentation. She also wears black fingerless gloves, armored red thigh-high boots, red short-shorts, a long multicoloured reverse drape scarf-like cape and a golden tiara. According to her designer, her back is unclothed to show her vulnerability, and her arm/leg armor opposes Mythra's (Pyra's legs are covered but her arms are not, where Mythra's arms are covered but her legs are not) to convey that they are incomplete without each other (furthered by Pneuma, who has no bare skin showing beyond her face). Pyra's weapon is a large, jagged red blade which emits flame-like ether energy when activated. Pyra is a very kind-hearted, mild-mannered, soft spoken young woman who desires peace among both Blades and Drivers. Despite being gentle around people, she is not afraid to fight to protect those she cares about. Pyra is usually seen to be very doubtful of her worth and considers herself to be a burden and a danger to others. Due to this, she originally wants to go to Elysium alongside Mythra to beg the Architect for their death, which they could normally not obtain due to their condition as Blades. Pyra is also a very talented cooker, and can easily produce delicious food, while Mythra is not good at cooking, despite enjoying doing so, people generally dislike the food she prepares and it angers her.
