Nimue

Nimue is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She was a military strategist and a mentor for Taion.

Appearance and personality
Nimue is a slender woman with purple hair tied in a ponytail and purple eyes. Nimue's hands and feet are covered with ice, and has a small ice horn in her left forehead. Nimue wears white Agnian soldier outfit but has a miniskirt and a black breast plate.

Her young appearance after being reborn is nearly identical to her previous incarnation, albeit with a shorter height and wears an early term Agnian uniform, and it shows her term mark is on her inner forearm, close to the crook of her left elbow.

Lore

 * Nimue is from the Lost Colony.
 * According to Isurd, in order to keep the fact that Nimue is not connected to a Flame Clock a secret, she requested a Nopon engineer to create a false Iris so that it makes a cosmetic Flame Clock appear in her eye.
 * Instead of using an Iris, Nimue prefers checking time with a pocket watch, which she later hands it over to Taion before sacrificing herself during the ambush by Colony 13.

As an NPC
A younger Nimue can be found at at the Lost Colony.

Affinity

 * Isurd

Trivia

 * There is an unused NPC icon for older Nimue, an unused placeholder blade icon for Nimue and a Chain Order portrait with Nimue's Japanese name on it in the files of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. This suggests she may have been at one point in development as a Hero character but was eventually scrapped.
