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 reincarnation, albeit with a shorter height and wears 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 placeholder blade icon for Nimue and a Chain Order portrait with Niume's Japanese name on it in the files of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. This suggests she may have been at one point in development but was eventually scrapped.
 * Nimue and Ethel are the only two characters to be reborn and reappear as younger term in the game.
