Information
Name - Xyliem
Proof of Existence - The Objective Observer
Element - Neutrality
Weapon - Aikido
World - End of the World
Rank - Leader
Age - 33
Height - 5'9"

Personality
Though reserved, Xyliem harbours a warmth and compassion that has taken her years to develop. An unfortunate side effect of neutrality is that it renders her emotionless even with the aid of a badge. However to make up for this she makes sure to do tangible things like giving aid to fellow nobodies or doing things she knows intellectually will be for the best. As she's developed this sense of duty she has also developed a sense of playfulness, often surprising others with a dry-wit and a generous spirit. She sees her role as Leader not only to uphold the principles of the organisation but to provide its members with the freedom and ability to achieve their own personal goals. Whether seeking the hearts they once lost, making a new life in a new existence or simply wanting to get stronger she encourages everyone to find what is important to them, even if what they want evolves overtime as in the case of herself. There was a time where she wanted her heart back but since becoming a Leader she's grown into a person with a sense of purpose and with the many bonds she's formed has given her more fulfilment than she could've ever achieved in life.

Battle
As an Aikidokist, Xyliem uses the momentum and strength of her opponents to throw, sedate and apprehend them. The faster or stronger the enemy is, the easier it is to hurl them from their center of gravity. The key to her seemingly relaxed style of combat is a mixture of accessing an enemy's pressure points and her ability to move around her own centre in a way that is harmonious with the attacker. If dealing with projectiles or weapons, she simply evades them; evasion and dexterity being her best assets. Similarly when dealing with non-humanoid attackers, she will use her ability to dodge in order buy enough time so she can deduce where their pressure points lie. No matter what though, Xyliem's first and foremost priority in combat is to quickly neutralise the situation. Seldom will she let a fight go on for longer than it needs to.

Element
Neutrality as an element is used in a variety of ways. Firstly it helps her maintain a clear mind whenever she goes into battle, so nerves nor internalised tension ever get the better of her. Although elemental magic (e.g. fira, blizzara, thundra etc.) is her one major weakness, when it comes to spells designed to manipulate her senses, power levels or movement she can literally neutralize them, much to the frustration of anyone whose primary battle technique relies on this type of control (it should be noted that helping neutralise these afflictions on allies requires more time and concentration than just herself). With the exception of beings of pure light or dark, neutrality cannot be used to directly hurt others. It's only when dealing with denizens of light or dark does it become the definition of a weapon; stinging them like a hot iron and obliterating their entire being. Given the power of her element Xyliem does her best to leave light untouched.

Berserk Form
"Cifra" is the form which Xyliem takes as a last ditch effort to end a large scale battle. An enormous bird with a 60ft wingspan, in order to access this state she must sacrifice 99% of whatever HP she has remaining. As Cifra, Xyliem is nigh unstoppable. She is able to harness neutrality as beams of energy to successfully revert all stats sans HP, charisma and intelligence to zero, rendering magic, weapons and elements completely unusable (includes allies as well as enemies). This is only temporary though, but it lasts long enough to induce a cease fire among battlers until next time.
As with her element at normal levels, the only time this form actually causes damage is against beings of darkness or light. Cifra can decimate armies of Heartless with great ease, leaving a small dent on the power of Darkness. In spite of the overwhelming power of this state and the lack of time-limit, Xyliem will never assume it unless she is certain it's required. This is because she knows once she releases herself from that state she will go unconscious. After returning to her normal state as she will need a few days to recover.

Facts
• Her other was an Osprey that often travelled to different worlds in the pursuit of knowledge. She made her residence in the End of the World because of it's easy access to other worlds but it's unknown what world she was originally born on.
• Over the last few years she's focused on strength training and developing more creativity in her combat style which has lead to becoming a more well rounded fighter. While elemental magic remains her weakest skill it's become a lot better than it used to be.
• One side benefit of her element is it stops her from getting drunk so she can drink as much as she pleases.
• Her Berserk form is a homage to Valefor (FFX).
• She's married to Luxena and wears a matching rose gold wedding band.
