Chickadee

Chickadee is a in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She is the lieutenant of Colony Iota under Alexandria.

Appearance and personality
Chickadee is a young girl with brown skin, black hair and matching round cat ears resembling Gormotti, and green eyes.

Her Reasons
Chickadee can first be seen at Alexandria's side when the commander of Colony Iota ambushes the party at Dies Arch. Chickadee doesn't fight, and waits for Alexandria at the top of the arch. When the skirmish comes to an end, Alexandria retreats and watches the party from above. Recognizing Colony Iota's commander, Mio comments on Alexandria's reputation. Chickadee immediately jumps to her defense and insults the party in return. After they escape, Chickadee goes back to Colony Iota with Alexandria.

She is next seen after the defeat of Consul E, as she runs to Alexandria to express how stressful her plan to use Ouroboros to take down the Consul was. Alexandria apologises, and Chickadee explains to the party how they were tricked into this fight by Alexandria. Taion disapproves of the strategy, pointing out the sacrifices Colony Iota made to reach that point may not have been necessary. Alexandria retorts her methods were faster, and that victory requires sacrifice. Noticing the rift between Alexandria and the party, Chickadee intervenes and offers them to look around the colony to see for themselves how things are here.

As they watch soldiers at work from a vantage point in the colony, Chickadee explains that Colony Iota's methods are to use a minimum of people to achieve maximum results, and how they use the Collectopaedia Cards to their advantage for such goals. Eventually, Noah accepts to help them and to destroy the Flame Clock. They all head for the Colony Iota Ferronis, where Alexandria reluctantly reveals she is in her sixth term and that it is kept a secret from everyone but her team chiefs and Chickadee. The lieutenant elaborates in her place on how she thinks she looks too young and uses cosmetic to look older and give herself an air of authority fit to her commander role.
