Hello! I am new here, and I made an account so I could write this.
The RAX trio, being my favourite trio and the main reason I even keep playing these games (besides Ephemer, whom I love with my entire being, the absolute cinnamon), is something I keep coming back to thinking about. Like, it is pretty obvious where Axel's story is heading from now and on, with him and Saix (May he never get a keyblade) looking for Subject X (Skuld, probably). However, what I dont really see being talked about a lot is Roxas and Xion.
And it seems this stems from the assumption that their characterization begins and ends at them being victims? Like, as if their whole character arcs were about them dying and being used as tragedy fuel. While there is SOME truth to that, I suppose, they did have distinct personalities and motivations.
Roxas main motivation, as far as I remember, was to have a normal life where he was not directly associated with Sora. Considering he will now be associated with Ventus too, whom he doesnt know, I think Roxas will want to stay away from the action. Likely he will remain the guardian of Twilight Town, if anything. I cant see him being the center of any conflict until after he graduates unless he gets pulled into it by someone else, perhaps as decoy to help Ventus escape from Luxu. Otherwise, Roxas can be retired to a supporting character.
Xion, on the other hand, is not like that? Like, I remember her also wanting a normal life, but her extreme sense of duty would override that. Xion, even though she might wish to retire, would not. This is the girl that cast aside her entire life with Roxas and Axel with a suicide mission, only to make Sora wake up because he was better suited to handle the Organization. She might not have a direct story to follow from here on out, nor anyone directly targeting her. For all intents and purposes, Xion doesnt NEED to be in the action. But she wouldnt be able to help herself. Not the Xion I remember.
I believe Xion is going to hone her shapeshifting powers and turn it into an advantage rather than a side effect of her existence. This could make her a spy character. She does have unique powers that no other protagonist seem to have. She was also able to sense Kairi, which tells me she might be able to sense everyone in her memories. I can see her potential turn her into a type of Blue Mage from final fantasy, with her taking powers from other characters. In fact, she already did this as a final boss in Kingdom Hearts Days!! Eventually, I could see her approaching Rogue-like powers (Rogue, as in the Xman), but thats just wishful thinking on my part.
What do you guys think/wish? Id like to hear more about her potential as a character
