-GENERAL-
The XIVth Member is a new member of the Organization that will be introduced in 358/2 Days. She was introduced without a name at the time, all we knew about her was that she wasn't in KHII, a game that takes place after 358/2 Days, and that there was a specific reason to why that was. Along with that, Nomura has stated that even with the XIVth member, the Organization was still called Organization XIII, and, likewise, the specific reason for that will be told during he course of 358/2 Days. Her appearance has yet to be seen but it is believed to have been revealed at the DK¦²3713 Party Event, images should be soon to surface.
-NAME-
At the DK¦²3713 Party Event, there was a brand new trailer for 358/2 Days that ended with the revelation of the XIVth Member's name, spoken by Namin¨¦ in the line "I wanted to meet you, Xion". This is the first time her name has ever been revealed to the public. Just who is this new character Xion?
-WEAPON-
Another surprise revealed at the DK¦²3713 Party Event was the revelation of XIV's, or Xion's, weapon. It was none other than a Keyblade! We don't know all of the details on this Keyblade, but in the trailer impressions Riku is said to tell her that her Keyblade is a fake, to which Xion says "Don't tell me that! You, don't lie!". We have yet to see what her Keyblade looks like, but it is believed to be revealed shortly.
-IMPORTANCE-
When asked if the XIVth member was a character we have seen before, Nomura answered, smiling, that it was a secret and that, while the XIVth Member does appear in this game, she is not the reason for the game, but that her "point" was that she was a key character. He also went onto to say that the reason why she has no pillar and why she didn't appear in Kingdom Hearts II will all be explained. It has also been stated that the XIVth Member has had great influence on Roxas' future actions.
