Mio

Mio (, Mio), nicknamed Mimi by Sena, is one of the main protagonists of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She is a soldier from Agnus and an off-seer.

Appearance and personality
Mio is a young woman with neck-length silver hair styled into a bob cut and golden eyes, with cat ears similar to a Gormotti. She has a blue and red gem similar to a Flesh Eater Core Crystal on her chest. Her main appearance comprises a white jacket with a white tank top underneath, white skirt, and white boots with black leggings. Her term mark is located on the right side of her neck.

Mio is an off-seer — she often mourns for soldiers who have fallen in battle. She plays a white flute with golden decorations which used to belong to Miyabi.

She has a serious yet gentle personality, and although she seems to draw hope from others, she seems to hold her own concerns due to her dwindling life-span.

As Ouroboros

Mio's Ouroboros form is a slender humanoid coloured primarily white and black, with red highlights. Its design features ring motifs, catlike ears, and long lilac hair. A glowing core is visible in each of its thighs.

Mio's Ouroboros excels at evasion, being able to dodge attacks so quickly that it leaves afterimages. It attacks via a combination of quick melee strikes and ranged attacks using ring-like weapons.
