Again, it's not about what they remember. It's about feeling emotions and reasoning and what role their age plays in, something in which Roxas and Xemans shouldn't be divided by anything.

Really? I found her origin rather straight forward, she's a prototype replica designed to siphon off Sora's memories through Roxas. Since she didn't have any memories she could truly call her own, any memories she shared would disappear with her.It's because Xion's existence as a being is face-palm worthy. She's "Sora's memories of Kairi manifested into a being, but she's really a part of Sora, but she's also a clone of Roxas". How am I supposed to get invested in a weirdly formulated character like that?

she doesn't add anything that Roxas didn't already establish. It's like if they gave Goofy a best friend named Spoofy and he traveled with SDG and said "gawrsh" every time Goofy said "ahyuck"
She's literally the 'new' best friend of two already established characters and is a main character now, is ""tragic"", and has a "dramatic" and "sad" story. She even has a Keyblade, which is the weapon only limited people can use. Sounds pretty self-inserted to me.I've never really understood the Xion as Mary-Sue or self-insert perspective, though. She's a character who is expressly designed to have no power of her own, who is frustrated at (almost) every attempt to establish her own will or control her narrative in any way, who disappears for large portions of time, who pointedly has no real insight nor secret special knowledge about anything that's going on, and who spends most of the story either at odds with or being manipulated by the protagonists.
Do you even know what a Mary-Sue is?If it's simply a matter of introducing a central female character with mythological relevance, contrived relationships with existing characters and a tragic fate then both Aqua and Namine are Mary-Sues. And what does that say about Roxas, Ven, and Terra? Are dudes categorically exempt from this criticism? 'Cause it applies to all of them equally.
The bold part is basically a description of Xion.A female fanfiction character who is so perfect as to be annoying. The male equivlalent is the Marty-Stu. Often abbreviated to "Sue". A Mary Sue character is usually written by a beginning author. Often, the Mary Sue is a self-insert with a few "improvements" (ex. better body, more popular, etc). The Mary Sue character is almost always beautiful, smart, etc... The Mary Sue is overpowered. In short, she is the "perfect" girl. The Mary Sue usually falls in love with the author's favorite character(s) and winds up upstaging all of the other characters in the book/series/universe. There are several main types of Mary Sue:
Victim!Sues: The Victim!Sue is your whiny, wimpy, pathetic female character who can't seem to do much of anything except cry and get herself into trouble that the romantic interest of the fic has to rescue her from.
No that's Kairi or Namine. Compared to them Xion is the least helpless person ever. She hardly ever relied on Roxas for support or rescuing (Which was all only before she mastered being able to use the Keyblade). She could fight and take care of herself for the most part. Sure Roxas spent a lot of his time worrying about her but she was never in any real danger she was just off getting answers and questioning her morals and what was right and wrong. And in the end she saved Roxas by making herself look like she wanted to absorb Roxas so Roxas would abosord her instead so Roxas wouldn't cease to exist.The bold part is basically a description of Xion.
Maybe you should replay the game? Because both Roxas and Axel had to save her ass sometimes.She hardly ever relied on Roxas for support or rescuing

Last I checked, Roxas and Axel only saved her twice in the entire game, no more than that.Maybe you should replay the game? Because both Roxas and Axel had to save her ass sometimes.
That'd be me.Who didn't cry when Xion died in Roxas arms?
I reeeaally don't want her to come back tbh, but it's inevitable at this point.That being said, I do look forward to her coming back so she can finally have that happy ending.
Case in point, this description can be assigned to practically any character in the series after the first game.She's literally the 'new' best friend of two already established characters and is a main character now, is ""tragic"", and has a "dramatic" and "sad" story.
Ha.She even has a Keyblade, which is the weapon only limited people can use.
Again, case in point: what about Namine and Chain of Memories? New best friend of Sora and Riku, dramatic and sad story, ends in pretty tragic fashion.Sounds pretty self-inserted to me.
An unhelpful catch-all descriptor for a writing trope which, with enough selective reading of the targeted material, can be applied to practically any sequel-specific character in the history of literature.Do you even know what a Mary-Sue is?

1: OverpoweredThe bold part is basically a description of Xion.
Tbh I'm one of the few people who really hate her theme. I consider it the worst KH theme (after Castle Of Dreams Bibbity theme and Vector to the Heavens).One positive I can say about Xion is that I feel she has the best character theme in the series.
Again, case in point: what about Namine and Chain of Memories? New best friend of Sora and Riku, dramatic and sad story, ends in pretty tragic fashion.
