Sharla

Sharla is one of the seven playable characters in Xenoblade Chronicles, and a medic of the Colony 6 Defence Force. She uses an ether rifle to fight, and her speciality is healing. She is Juju's older sister and Gadolt's fiance. She becomes playable during Chapter 4. At 1.68 m (5'6") Sharla is a fairly tall woman, with tan skin, long black hair reaching just past her shoulders, soft brown eyes, and a beauty mark on the lower left of her lip. Her standard outfit consists of a blue crop top with short rippled sleeves and four square golden button-like jewels in front, an orangish red waistcoat with three rifle bullets in the pockets, a pair of silver goggles with dark brown straps, white shorts, a grey belt, brown elbow-length gloves with dark brown straps and silver buckles, and a pair of dark brown knee-high boots with blackish brown soles, silver buckles on the straps, and blue stockings pulled over the top of them. In Definitive Edition, if equipped with some Orion-type headgear, Sharla's hair becomes orange and tied in an updo, with blunt-cut bangs. Sharla is a kind-hearted, strong-witted, and loving person. However, she has a vengeful side that is first seen when Xord reveals that he ate the entire Defence Force of Colony 6. She is also shown to be devoted to those she cares for, especially Gadolt and her young brother Juju. She originally became a medic so she could protect Juju and heal him whenever he got hurt according to the Heart-to-Heart "Revisiting the Past". She also acts motherly especially in all Heart-to-Hearts with Dunban and she treats Melia like her own sister, encouraging her feelings for Shulk. Sharla intends to become a doctor once things have settled down, according to "The Colony Reborn". Although after particularly harrowing incidents causes Sharla to lose her will to continue, encouragement from the party and her own resolve to fight allows her to carry on, determined to keep fighting until the antagonistic forces that threaten those she cares for are taken down once and for all.
