History Characters / XenobladeChronicles2PyraAndMythra

** Pyra is a Sweet type. Normally nice and very caring, but can also be pretty headstrong if she needs to defend herself or others, especially her Driver Rex. She's also especially cold towards [[spoiler:her Aegis brother]] Malos, the BigBad who tries to stop her from reaching the "paradise" of Elysium. During [[spoiler:Rex's nightmare sequence given to him by the Architect]], [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Pyra acts more colder and abrasive]].

* BreakoutCharacter: Pyra and Mythra were the first to get merchandise, and despite the popular assumption that Rex, being the protagonist, would end up as the most prominent face of the game and its possible representative in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', they ended up being the playable representative in ''Ultimate'' instead of Rex - which is notable since it's the first time Pyra has been directly playable.[[note]]This, however, is downplayed since [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/SuperSmashBros it was later revealed that Rex was initially planned to be playable]], but Smash's developers found that implementing both him and the Aegis at once would prove impossible due to hardware limitations, so their popularity wasn't the only reason why they were chosen over their Driver, as Sakurai tried different permutations of Rex and Pyra/Mythra before settling on the Aegis herself as a transforming character.[[/note]]

* ShortTeensTallAdults: They tower somewhat over Rex and Nia, but are still quite short compared to most of the adult characters, which is obvious when Mòrag and Zeke join the party (before then, they're the tallest in the surviving party aside from [[BirdPeople Roc]] and some optional Blades). This implies that Pyra and Mythra are supposed to look and act like women in their late teens, which would make sense considering their attachment to Rex. {{Averted|trope}} in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', where both of them are roughly the same height as [[Franchise/FireEmblem Marth]] and slightly taller than [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Zero Suit Samus]] even in heels, which makes them seem more adultlike especially when combined with their low voice in the English dub.

* TeensAreShort: They tower somewhat over Rex and Nia, but are still quite short compared to most of the adult characters, which is obvious when Mòrag and Zeke join the party (before then, they're the tallest in the surviving party aside from [[BirdPeople Roc]] and some optional Blades). This implies that Pyra and Mythra are supposed to look and act like women in their late teens, which would make sense considering their attachment to Rex. {{Averted|trope}} in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', where both of them are roughly the same height as [[Franchise/FireEmblem Marth]] and slightly taller than [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Zero Suit Samus]] even in heels, which makes them seem more adultlike especially when combined with their low voice in the English dub.

* BoobsOfSteel: Pyra and Mythra are the two most bustiest characters in the game (after Dahlia) as well as the strongest blades. The same applies to the Aegis' true form, Pneuma, and occasionally, are subject to the game's JigglePhysics.

** [[spoiler:Pneuma is the result of Rex and Pyra[=/=]Mythra's bond becoming unbreakable, yet in game her trust level is locked at an abysmal '''Level E'''. While she will still likely feel strong particularly on a first playthrough without doing any of the BonusBoss, and her mechanics make the previously hard Chain Attack system easy to use, if the player is lucky enough to pull Blades to make good setups (especially on NewGamePlus) then she's actually weaker than Mythra for things like boss farming or getting good Challenge Mode times]].

** Ophion, a giant snake-like mech that was destroyed during the Aegis War and then repaired and retasked to prevent passage to Elysium. [[spoiler:After clearing the game, you can face it at the Cliffs of Morytha as a formidable BonusBoss.]]

* CompositeCharacter: As the dual deuteragonists of a game that is in significant part a [[invoked]]SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'', so do these two heavily incorporate traits of Fei and Elly:
** As with Fei, [[spoiler:the two are a SplitPersonality resulting from severe past trauma, in this case the red-haired Pyra splitting off from Mythra as a result of her trauma from accidentally killing Milton, Hugo, and the entire landmass of Torna ''itself'' after losing control of her Conduit-granted powers, much as the red-haired Id split off from Fei's psyche as a result of Fei accidentally killing his mother after losing control of his Zohar-granted powers]].
** Pyra shares Elly's red-colored hair and kind, self-sacrificing and motherly traits towards her love interest Rex, while Mythra shares her hairstyle, massive guilt complex over losing control, and many aspects of her clothing (particularly in her Massive Melee Mythra outfit).

** In ''Xenoblade 3'' and ''Future Redeemed'', [[spoiler:Mio (heavily implied to be Nia's daughter with Rex) acts much like a [[TeamMom younger Pyra]], while Glimmer (heavily implied to be Pyra's daughter with Rex) acts much like a [[{{Tsundere}} younger Mythra]]. Cue jokes that Mythra's child is probably [[CatsAreSnarkers snarky and feral]].

* LikeParentLikeChild: [[spoiler:Pyra and Mythra are [[LiteralSplitPersonality split personalities]] of the same being, much like how their father, the Architect, has two split personalities of his own - Professor Klaus and [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 Zanza]].]]

* {{Eagleland}}: She is a mild Type II in the English dub.[[note]]You have to remember that the dub is made from a British perspective, and Pyra and Mythra's voice actress is British.[[/note]] While most Blades have American accents, Mythra stands out as having a thick accent and speech pattern that sounds like a typical snarky Anglo-American teenager or college student, and her attitude is notably egocentric. It's especially apparent in ''Torna: The Golden Country'' where even the other American-accented Blades in the party are more polite and formal. Coincidentally,[[spoiler:one can spot signs that say "U.S. Government" in the First Low Orbit Station]], suggesting that there may be more to Blades' American accents than meets the eye.

* ContraltoOfDanger: A rather deep voice courtesy of Skye Bennett in the English dub, and both also happen to be one of the most powerful Blades in all Alrest. Moreso Mythra, who speaks with a deeper and rougher voice than Pyra.

* TeensAreShort: They tower somewhat over Rex and Nia, but are still quite short compared to most of the adult characters, which is obvious when Mòrag and Zeke join the party (before then, they're the tallest in the surviving party aside from [[BirdPeople Roc]] and some optional Blades). This implies that Pyra and Mythra are supposed to look and act like women in their late teens, which would make sense considering their attachment to Rex. {{Averted|trope}} in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', where both of them are roughly the same height as [[Franchise/FireEmblem Marth]] and slightly taller than [[Franchise/{{Metroid}} Zero Suit Samus]] even in heels, which makes them seem more adultlike especially when combined with their ContraltoOfDanger in the English dub.

* ContraltoOfDanger:
** A rather deep voice courtesy of Skye Bennett, and both also happen to be one of the most powerful Blades in all Alrest. Moreso Mythra, who speaks with a deeper and rougher voice than Pyra.
** Downplayed when [[spoiler:she is Pneuma, who speaks with a higher tone roughly between the two.]]
** Averted in Japanese, as Creator/ShinoShimoji uses a rather high tone to voice both of them (Mythra slightly less so), making it clear that they were meant to sound more adultlike when adapted into English.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Mythra's tone is a fair bit deeper than Pyra's more feminine, airier voice to signify she's the more powerful of the two.

* PervertRevengeMode: Chucks objects at Rex when she thinks she snuck into her bed when it was actually [[{{Sleepwalking}} the other way around]], and she slinks back to her room in flushed embarrassment. Later, when Nia accidentally makes a comment toward Zeke that can be misconstrued as a sex joke, Rex enquires why Mythra's blushing and she literally [[FightWoosh slaps him into battle.]] What's ironic is this is projection on Mythra's part, since she's [[CovertPervert secretly the most perverted of the main cast.]]

* TeamMom: She acts very motherly to the group, looks out for the group, and she is very responsible.

* LapPillow: Pyra gives one to Rex at the start of Chapter 2 as he wakes up from being knocked out from their crash landing onto Gormott. [[spoiler:Mythra ends up on the receiving end of one from Rex too in Chapter 8 as a CallBack to this moment and to demonstrate how much more comfortable she's gotten with him, given her earlier {{Tsundere}} harshness when she accidentally sleepwalked into his bed in chapter 4.]]

* SplitPersonalityMerge: [[spoiler:Their Pneuma form essentially merges both their personalities into their one true personality. The player can decide who Rex can later refer to this form in gameplay. However, it's not permanent; before meeting the Architect the story treats it as a SuperMode, and afterward the [[StoryAndGameplaySegregation game continues to do so even when the story doesn't]]]].

* OlympusMons: Mythra is the original form of the legendary Aegis, being one of the most powerful Blades in-story and responsible for destroying three Titans in the past due to a RoaringRampageOfRevenge. [[spoiler:Pneuma is this even moreso, being a full-on RealityWarper.]]

* TheChewToy: Pyra has been injured moreso than the others, and she and Rex also feel each other's pain if one gets hurt, but Pyra was hit the hardest, she was slashed by Ahkos' blades, punched in the stomach by Malos, electrocuted violently in Chapter 6, and even got her memories of Rex stolen by Malos, turning her into a lifeless corpse.

* TheChick: Rounding out the main ChromaticArrangement trio (and LoveTriangle), Pyra is the emotional ground for the rest of the group as a demure, feminine MacGuffinGirl. She's still a support unit as a blade, but can wield a sword just as well, if not better than, Rex, as shown in her first scene. Story-wise, she splits the difference of the Lancer and Chick roles with Nia. Mythra is far more headstrong and aggressive, making her fit TheLancer role more than TheChick in that form.
