News ► Shanelle Gray Confirms Her Involvement in Kingdom Hearts 3

[Chaser]

Last night, @sobpar sent a direct message to Shanelle Gray on Instagram, asking if she would be involved with Kingdom Hearts 3. While not expecting a reply, Shanelle replied with a single word: "yes".

Shanelle Gray voices Larxene, Organization XIII's twelth member who tormented Sora as he made his way deeper into Castle Oblivion. Larxene hasn't been seen in the Kingdom Hearts series since Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days released in 2009, and then was turned into HD cinematics in Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX.

Marluxia, Larxene's partner in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, was confirmed to be in Kingdom Hearts 3 in a trailer that premiered at D23 Japan back in February. Details on how Larxene, or whatever her human name might be, will fit into Kingdom Hearts 3 have not been confirmed.

man it will be kind of a let down if the remaining darknesses are just the stragglers from the old org. and there arent really any surprises.

 

[Zettaflare]

I'm almost certain she isn't a vessel. If Larxene does appear I imagine it will be as her human self. Please be in San Fronsokyo.

Given that Marluxia is back, it was only natural that Larxene would be returning in some form too, so I guess this isn't much of a surprise. It's nice to get some kind of confirmation though.

 

[KeyToDestiny]

I'm very certain she's a vessel but it's nice to get confirmation from Gray she's coming back for Larxene and more proof that recording for English dubbing is presumably going smoothly.

these arent really mutually exclusive. i'd love for her not to be one though, but with mar-mar coming back as a vessel, i just imagine so will his gal pal.

 

[sonickenshin]

With all these English dub announcements, I guess the game truly is almost done.

Well I figured we would see the other three members in some form. I didn't think KH3 would end without finding out the backgrounds of Demyx, Luxord, and Larxene.

I still think there is a decent shot that she could just be a normal person instead of a vessel.

Has any fugue the somebody for yet?

Can you repeat that, but this time make it a little bit clearer, please?

 

[gosoxtim]

Yes has anyone figured her real name yet?

 

[Deleted member]

Elenar, probably. Maybe Arlene.

 

[ultima-demi]

I really hope she isn't stuck in the Organization coat. Also hope Marluxia's been wearing his union outfit under there this whole time. He takes it off with his final bout with Sora! Hopefully anyway.

Larxene and Marluxia together wearing new duds in general would be just nice to see.

 

[Darkspawn]

I’m a fan of Relena. I’ll be happy with whatever her role is as long as she’s still a savage. Lol

My KH3 hype is currently overpowering my Infinity War hype. I can’t be thinking about KH during this movie!

 

[FudgemintGuardian]

Laxene was a given, but it's still cool to have it confirm. I have a feeling feel we might see her in the big trailer. But I swear, if she's part of the new Organization I'm gonna punch something.

Elenar, probably. Maybe Arlene.

I kinda hope it's not Arlene, because it sounds too close to Larxene.


I'm fond of Narele myself.

 

[AtDuskIThinkofU]

Yay! She did an awesome job with voice acting for Larxene, imo. Now all I need is a Demyx confirm!

I'm really hoping that we get some backgrounds and names in KH3, though if we don't I'll be EXTREMELY surprised. I'm also hoping that Larxene, Demyx, and Luxord won't be vessels, but if Marluxia is part of the Organization i feel like we can count on Larxene too. In the very least her playing some villain role.

 

[Zettaflare]

If she is a vessel what Disney world do you guys think she would tie in? Unless both her and Marluxia are causing trouble in Corona.

People are keen on San Fransokyo. They'd fit in with High Voltage, a villain duo from the series who use electricity:

 

[Gambler]

I definitely see her in BH6. Makes the most sense given--

Oh, Chaser beat me to it.

Either way, I'm going to dread having my rear kicked in by Larxene again, aren't I?

 

[AR829038]

I have to say, I think Larxene and Marluxia are both going to come back as their human selves, Lauriam and ?????.
I REEEEEEAAAAAALLLLLYYY hope they do not have her be one of the 13 Darknesses for several reasons.
1) It would be unsurprising, as some have already mentioned, to just recycle the straggling Organization XIII members, and
2) I DO NOT like the idea of Larxene being a vessel for Master Xehanort, primarily because I do not want to look at Larxene and know that there's an old man inside her.
