- "I have fulfilled my duty. You and only you can bring about a new age on Mechonis, no, the entire world. My mistress, Lady Meyneth."
- — Vanea
Vanea (Japanese: ヴァネア; English dub: /vəˈneɪə/) is a supporting character in Xenoblade Chronicles. She is Egil's sister and the daughter of the Machina chief, Miqol. She is in charge of the construction and repairs to Face Nemesis, and implanted Meyneth into Fiora's body. Vanea is aware of Meyneth's reawakening before anyone else, including Egil.
Story[]
Xenoblade Chronicles[]
First Meeting[]
Although she is seen in short cutscenes early on, remotely building and repairing Face Nemesis, the party only learns of Vanea while talking to Miqol in the Hidden Machina Village. Just before they leave, he tells them that they might run into Vanea while in the capital, and explains that she does not want to hurt Egil, but does not like what he is doing, and she might help the party.
Vanea implanting Meyneth's soul into Face Nemesis
They meet her near the end of Mechonis Field, where she appears from behind them and tells them that they survived Jade Face's attacks by the power of Lady Meyneth. She addresses Fiora as Meyneth, and expresses happiness that Jade Face failed to kill them. Sharla protests, claiming that Gadolt would never harm them, but Vanea explains that his Homs memories no longer remain. She goes on to explain why Homs were made into Faced Mechon.
She requests to continue to accompany the group, to try to talk with her brother one last time. The party accepts, and she joins them as a guest for their stay on Mechonis.
Mechonis[]
Vanea leads the party to the Data Centre in Agniratha, and after Meyneth shows them the history of Bionis and Mechonis, Vanea tells them that Fiora was chosen as the vessel for Meyneth's soul because she is close to Shulk. When they leave the centre, Vanea tells Shulk to believe in himself and the others and leaves the party to try and persuade Egil not to fight them, although she says that she is prepared for his refusal.
She reaches him slightly before the party does, and asks why he goes so far to destroy Bionis. He replies "The rage of those who were annihilated by the Monado will never dissipate." Vanea pleads for him to think of the living over the dead, and says she does not want to lose him. Egil talks of revenge again until the party arrives.
Once back on Junks, Vanea apologises for not being able to stop Egil, and having failed her father. Linada tells her there is no need to apologise, but Miqol just sighs. Vanea explains that Egil is in the Mechonis Core, and to stop Mechonis, the core must be destroyed. While the Junks is flying towards the core, Vanea apologises to Fiora for having to use her body to house Meyneth, and asks how Meyneth is getting along.
Vanea in the epilogue
Vanea accompanies the party to the Mechonis Core, and once more pleads for Egil to stop his attacks. She witnesses the defeat of her brother, the rebirth of Zanza and the reawakening of Bionis. When Egil attacks Bionis, she asks again for him to stop, but now because he is too weak to survive the fight rather than because he might win. After Zanza leaves, she rushes to her fallen brother and accepts his apology. Egil bids her to go, and she implores him to come with them, but he remains stubborn and insists on staying and fighting Zanza until the end. She escapes with the party on Junks, and watches the destruction of Mechonis before weeping for Egil.
During the ending, she is seen in the new Colony 9 with Dunban and Miqol, and remarks that she has no doubt that living alongside one another in harmony was what Lady Meyneth and Egil would have wanted.
Vanea reappears briefly during the ending of Future Connected, where she is present for Melia's coronation in Alcamoth.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed[]
In Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed, Vanea appears in a flashback when Shulk and Rex are telling the rest of the party the history of their original worlds, the Bionis and Alrest, and how each world had their own hardships before eventually finding peace prior to the creation of Aionios. She also appears in the credits, during scenes from Xenoblade Chronicles.
Quests[]
After the Junks arrives at Colony 6 after Mechonis Core, Vanea will stay there as a permanent NPC. Whilst there, she gives quests that allow the party to create the other Replica Monados.
Trivia[]
- Vanea's Japanese voice actress, Yuki Kaeda, also voices Riki.
