Haze

Haze is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country. At first, she is Lora's. She later becomes Amalthus's Blade and becomes known as Fan la Norne, Goddess of the Praetorium.

Torna ~ The Golden Country
Haze, as Lora's Blade alongside Jin, travels to Gormott with Lora, Jin, Addam, and Mythra to uncover the location of Lora's mother, Rynea. When they arrive at Torigoth, they find out the village has been desolated and everyone was killed, including Rynea. Later, still in Torigoth, they are attacked by Ardainian troops led by Brighid, mistaken for badnits. Haze uses her Blade powers to restrain both Mythra and Brighid when the latter goes too far. When Hugo, Brighid's driver, arrives, he stops the battle stating that "there is no need for this" since Hugo and Addam know each other. Everyone goes to the Strategy Room of the Ardainian flagship except Lora and Haze, that they stay in the Torigoth cemetery decorating the graves. Suddenly, Gort and some hired mercenaries tries to kill them and reclaim Jin's Core Crystal; knowing Blade's ability to restrict other Blades, he they didn't bring them to confront them. Jin then rushes in to assist them and cuts Gort's both last remaining organic arm and his prosthetic arm.

Thanks to the Tornan troops, the party learns that Malos plans to destroy the world and he's planning an attack on Auresco, Torna's capital. En route, Minoth joins the party.

After arriving at Auresco, the party talks to the Tornan King and Zettar, affirming that they'll stop Malos. Before setting off, they make sure they're well prepared for the upcoming battle against Malos. The party arrives at the Soaring Rostrum, where Malos was waiting. After a very tough battle, Malos is heavily damaged by Mythra and the Tornan Titan is destroyed. An Ardainian warship arrives and evacuates the group.

Addam and Mythra, now converted in Pyra, travel to the Spirit Crucible Elpys and ask Lora, Haze and Jin to travel to Spessia and command the remaining poeple of Torna who fled there to travel to Leftheria. On the way to Spessia, Lora, Haze and Jin are ambushed by Gort, who was mutated into a prototype Blade Eater by Indol, seeking vengeance against them. The three kill him and Jin notes that defeating Malos or whoever with a bad heart will not be enough to bring peace to the world, and Haze notes that there will always be strife. Lora refutes this and says that things could change.

They arrive to Spessia just before Amalthus attacks on the region. Lora is killed and Jin eats her heart, turning into a Flesh Eater; due to Lora passing away, Haze returns to her Core Crystal and Amalthus takes it. Later, he reawakens her, becoming Haze's driver, and he gives her the new identity of Fan la Norne, Goddess of the Praetorium. Without Haze knowing it, Amalthus takes half of Haze's Core Crystal and becomes a Blade Eater.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Five hundred years later, Fan meets Rex and the party in the Old Factory, Mor Ardain. Fan tells Rex that Amalthus wants to meet him, so she takes the party to the Indoline Sanctum.

Later, she accompanies the party to Temperantia and uses her her Blade powers to control Ether and weaken Judicium Titan, allowing the party to board and fight Aeshma's Core in order to stop Jin. Then, Fan tries to uses her Blade powers again to weaken Jin, but she doesn't know that he's a Flesh Eater and her powers don't have effect on him. He stabs Fan saying that this will free her from Amalhtus.

Fan is given a funeral and Mythra notices that half of Fan's Core Crystal is missing, since he remembers how the shape was when she traveled with her five thousand years ago, suggesting that someone must've taken half of her Core Crystal. Later, in the World Tree, Amalthus reveals that he was the one who took half of Fan's Core Crystal to add power to himself, since with both Fan's power and his power as the Driver of an Aegis, Amalthus can use the vortex to subdue any Blade.
