Miyabi

Miyabi is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She is Mio's off-seeing partner and friend.

Appearance and personality
Mio is a young woman with neck-length black hair styled into a bob cut with a clover-shaped ribbon on left side of her hair, green eyes and a blue gem on her chest. Miyabi's choice of clothes is the usual off-seeing outfit with green trims, and wears the same legging and boots as Mio. During her time in Colony Theta, Miyabi wore the Agnian military uniform.

Miyabi is usually shy, friendly girl and hates fighting and taking lives from others. Miyabi is somewhat clumsy, a fact that she's glad of, some examples including: falling off a balancing log during a training course, nearly drowning when swimming, coughing up sand while traversing the Fornis Region, and being cautious of tripping in sand. Miyabi has also displayed a fear of heights.

Story arc
Miyabi is briefly glimpsed in a memory as Noah and Mio Interlink for the first time to fight off D. She is also seen in a flashback explaining the roles of the off-seer to Mio.

Miyabi is mentioned by Mio while foraging for food in Maktha Wildwood after it was stolen by several Tirkin. She reveals to Eunie that Miyabi is her off-seeing partner and flute that she uses belongs to her after she presumably perished. Eunie then asks Mio what if she comes back as a Moebius, she says that's she'll accept it.

Mio later reveals to Noah that Miyabi presumably died when an experiment went wrong. Mio laments that she's younger than her.

During Side Story: Mio, through M's memories, it is revealed that Miyabi survived the accident and is now under the control of Y for her use of his experiment with both Keves and Agnus soldiers in a rebuilt Colony Omega. It is also revealed that Mio, Sena and Miyabi were originally from Colony Theta. In a flashback, Mio and Miyabi sends off several husks before explaining the purpose of the off-seer to Mio after a battle with an unknown Kevesi Colony. Suddenly they were transferred to Colony Omega for no reason other than for daily experimentations, rather than fighting. It is also revealed that the accident was a result of its Flame Clock malfunctioning, destroying the Colony, with Miyabi sacrificing herself to save Mio and Sena. When the party reaches Colony Omega at Captocorn Peak, they find not only her under Y's control, but Mwamba, Hackt, and Cammuravi, reborn in their terms before they died, much to the party's surprise. It is revealed by Y that he repurposed Miyabi's off-seeing into stabilizing the minds of the fighters, due to their lack of true growth before he set them loose on the party.

After a grueling battle, Noah and Mio decided to use their off-seer melody to reach her in which they are successful of not only freeing Miyabi from Y's control, but the reborn Mwamba, Hackt, and Cammuravi as well. Enraged, Y transformed into his Moebius form and engaged the party himself but was swiftly defeated. After Y's defeat, Noah and Mio destroys Colony Omega's Flame Clock, freeing everyone from the mad scientist's grasp for good while ominously warns the party that he will be watching them before retreating. Mio and Sena are very happy that they finally reunited with Miyabi. Noah offered to return her flute but declines. After this, Miyabi joins the party as a Hero. After joining the party, Miyabi can be found at the City.

Miyabi can be among the heroes to aid the party in the final battle against Z, declaring the party's hope are one as she is summoned. After Z's defeat, Miyabi can be seen on the Agnian side as Aionios splits back into the worlds of Bionis and Mechonis, and Alrest respectively.

Happiness
Miyabi decides to enter a cooking contest that is being hosted by Travis, much to Mio's surprise. Manana also enters, declaring Miyabi her rival. The party asked people around the City on locations of ingredients for the contest. When looking for Miyabi's ingredients, the party collects Smushi Rice, Refreshing Piranhax Meat, Glitter Radishes and Soyprimo Sauce from Boxy (who she and Miyabi share a mother-daughter relationship). For Manana's ingredients, the party collects Mottlemarble Aries Meat, Killjoy Crustip Meat, Cozy Rhogul Egggems and Lucky Marrin Thickcuts. When the cooking contest begins, the hosts are Miyabi, Manana, Nissick and, while the judges are Boomer, Ghondor, Wellwell and San (who is the youngest judge). Despite Miyabi's best efforts, Manana ultimately won the contest. Despite losing, she was happy how her dish turned out.
