Oh won't you put the pitchforks and torches aside?! :angry:
Who here didn't expect me to come up with something like that, raise their hands.
Anyhow. Yes. That is my theory.
Xion is, as a matter of fact - not Kairi related, not a Nobody, but is - Aqua herself.
Ways in which this ties in as far as the relation goes
Magic - Xion uses magic. So does Aqua.
Wielding - Xion Wielding the Keyblade.
Fake or not, Xion does have a Keyblade. Unlike Kairi, who didn't own the Keyblade she used in KH2 and that at the time is unknown whether or not she can wield at all - Aqua is a Keyblade apprentice that has her own Keyblade-like weapon - albeit lacking a Keychain. The base being a "fake" - Keychainless - would merit Riku's comment about its lack of authenticity, before dealing with any outside circumstances that would merit it having a Keychain, let alone the KK's.
Purity - Aqua, unlike Kairi, is not a Princess of Heart. She goes through a small hell and has to endure a lot. That would make her - at any point in time after the first Heartless was created - able of becoming a Heartless and casting off a Nobody.
I'd imagine that would also suggest she'd be susceptible to an assorted amount of other processes as well, such as ones possibly needed to turn her into a 14 year old again.
RoA/RoS - Xion's supposed place of birth is somewhere in CO, it would seem, and theorized to be the Room of Awakening. Should this be the case, it ties in directly to Aqua's Armor and Keyblade being in the Room of Sleep.
Xemnas - For starters, Xemnas being the one that brought Xion in instantly kills the entire "only Nobodies are allowed into the Organization". One can argue that Nobodies can sense other Nobodies. One would have to ask then if it applies to ones already wearing the coats, which are known to cover up "scents".
Then we come to the basic fact that even if the rest of the Organization knew (especially with Zexion's puppy nose being shipped away to Castle Oblivion), it wouldn't help them one bit. I'd like to see someone who isn't Marluxia talk back to Xemnas about Xion joining. Keep in mind even Marluxia played nice and wanted to use Sora, instead of taking Xemnas head on.
tl;dr Xemnas's word is law in the Organization. If he said Xion was in, regardless of her being a Nobody or not - she'd be in.
How is the entire mess possible?
Which is the very basis of my theory, in fact.
Recent trailers arguably based the fact that Xion is affected by Sora and/or Roxas' Memories.
I hold that it's so much - it changed her entire appearance.
Basis for possibility
Xehanort's Heartless changed Riku's Body into his own. What counts for a Body's appearance - be it a Nobody or not (which is what I'm saying Xion is), is the Sense of Self. Should Xion's Sense of Self be dictated by Sora/Roxas's Memories, her true appearance won't matter. What matters would be the Memories that rule over her Being.
Her being born anywhere in CO, and especially RoA which would tie in directly to the RoS, would enable for such a bizzare and unusual situation to come to pass. CO is where Memories take on forms. Aqua'd give them something to plant themselves on and thus keep their shape even outside the Castle.
What would this explain?
Wielding - Her wielding the Keyblade with the KK Keychain on it. Aqua, as far as we know, lacked the ability to wield a Keychain. Now she'll get a Keychain not her own but Sora/Roxas's, which already puts it at risk of being "fake", as well as the fact that her base isn't really a Keyblade. Riku should know - he wielded both the Heart Unlocker as well as the Soul Eater.
Age - Riku turned into a man in his late twenties to thirties when Xehanort's Heartless took over. Why can't Aqua go through the same - in reverse? From a young lady, into a 14 year old girl, which is how old Kairi was at the time Sora's Memories got screwed over.
Identity Crisis - Xion's True Memories <strike>(har)</strike> being buried underneath Sora and Roxas's Memories would come to explain her not knowing anything about her true self, save for the supposed apparent visual relation to Kairi. Yet she said herself that her secret was - in a white Room in CO.
Hum.
And now comes the best part.
I'll start with the somewhat less based counter argument -
Roxas had dreams about Sora when he was still in the Org. As far as I know, we don't know when those Dreams started. They could've started early on, thus making for Sora's Memories to bounce from Sora to Roxas to Xion at rather an early stage, before CoM truly came to pass.
Now the one that makes more sense and also explains the first one, in fact -
Xion, for quite a while, seems to be with her hood on. No one really know what she has hidden underneath the hood, and in fact it seems she has it on until when she comes and talks to Namine - in the White Room in the haunted Mansion, that being - after CoM.
One can conclude that Xion's appearance was a gradual process, which would explain both her hooded self for a while as well as her only Wielding the Keyblade in later parts of the game and not all of it.
The only thing that can debunk this is that she seems 14 year old from the get go, but then we have Xemnas well aware of what she needed to become and starting the process himself somehow, so I don't really care that much about that in the meanwhile.
(C) GA for a great big part of this.
tl;dr Xion is either Aqua herself or her Nobody, transformed by Sora and Roxas's Memories into a Kairi clone, much like XH changed Riku's Body to look like his own.
Discuss.

You said:But Xion joined before CoM! So she couldn't be affected by Sora's Memories!

Roxas had dreams about Sora when he was still in the Org. As far as I know, we don't know when those Dreams started. They could've started early on, thus making for Sora's Memories to bounce from Sora to Roxas to Xion at rather an early stage, before CoM truly came to pass.
