Shania

Shania Reid is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She is a member of the Lost Numbers and House Reid.

Appearance and personality
Shania is a woman with brown hair tied in two pigtails and green eyes. Shania wears a skintight black bodysuit with red accents, a sleeveless green camo jacket over it with a skirt of the same color, as well as black military boots. In some flashbacks, Shania wears the same orange bandaged gloves as Ghondor. Her choice of weapon is usually a small pocket pistol which belonged to her sister, Titania. After her suicide and subsequent transformation into a Consul, Shania wore the red armor that all Consuls wear, but she doesn't wear a helmet.

Shania is usually cynical, rude, and quiet. She looks up to Ghondor as a role model, but secretly she resents her for being better than her, due to her mother's abuse. This jealousy, and the subsequent abuse by her mother results her into betraying Ghondor, the party and even the City. Prior to her defection, she enjoys painting.

Despite being briefly glimpsed at Guernica's resting spot at Melnath's Shoulder and Syra Hovering Reefs, she wasn't properly introduced until after the party reaches Swordmarch. She then guides the party through their journey to reach the City under Monica's order. After the party finally reaches the city, she then gives a tour of it. She then later returns Guernica's eyepatch to Monica.
