Mythra

The future doesn't belong to you!
For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised.

"I am not Pyra. I am Mythra. Pyra... She's a different self that I constructed."

— Mythra

Mythra (Japanese: ヒカリ, Hikari; English dub: /ˈmɪθrə/) is one of the female protagonists in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. She is the Aegis, a Legendary Blade who can grant tremendous power to her Driver Rex, and his allies.

Since Pyra is another personality Mythra created, they can freely switch places. Rex is able to freely use this ability both in and out of battle upon starting Chapter 5. Mythra's powers have a focus on light-element attacks. Some of her other powers include near light-speed movement and Foresight, which allows her to see into the immediate future. However, after Pyra shares her life force with Rex, Mythra becomes subject to the same limitations in regards to her healing capabilities and immortality.

Mythra is also a central character in Torna ~ The Golden Country. She is a Blade who can grant tremendous power to her Driver Addam and his allies.

Personality[]

Mythra is confident in herself, reckless, and independent. She has a short temper, a rude disposition, and is not afraid to openly express her thoughts. While during the events of Torna ~ The Golden Country, Mythra is shown to have little sympathy for others, in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 she is much more calm and analytical.

Due to the destruction she once caused, Mythra considers herself to be a danger to others, and wants to reach Elysium alongside Pyra to beg the Architect for their death.

Unlike Pyra, Mythra is not good at cooking, despite enjoying doing so. It angers her when people dislike the food she prepares. She is also a terrible sleeper, often sleepwalking and snoring among other things.

Appearance[]

Mythra is a young woman with long blonde hair with the same styled bangs as Pyra, fair skin and golden eyes. She has an identical figure to Pyra; taller than Rex but still relatively short. After resonating with Rex, Mythra's cross-shaped Core Crystal loses its center, leaving a X-shaped gap behind. Mythra wears a short white dress with back accents and numerous golden and green ornaments, and a golden tiara. She has two green symmetrical crosses on her chest armor, differing from Pyra's single cross. Mythra's weapon is a large, jagged white sword which emits yellow-green ether energy when activated.

Alternate Costumes[]

Mythra alts — Carbon, Massive Melee, Pyra-Style, Radiant Beach

Mythra has four alternate costumes, three of which can be obtained via Challenge Battle Mode and one (Massive Melee Mythra) through normal gameplay after Update 2.0.2. These are:

Story[]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2[]

Aegis War[]

Main article: Aegis War

After Amalthus awakens Malos, he is warned that he will not be able to handle the power of a second Aegis and thus begins to search for a suitable Driver for the second Aegis Core Crystal. He finds Addam, a prince of the Kingdom of Torna, who awakens Mythra and begins trying to stop Malos' wanton destruction across Alrest. The two travel alone for a year trying to predict where Malos may strike next, following the trail of his attacks. By chance they save Lora and Jin from a Gargoyle, and agree not to take Jin from Lora in return for help dealing with Malos. They also rendezvous with Hugo - the young emperor of Mor Ardain - and Minoth, a Flesh Eater belonging to Amalthus. This party fights Malos whenever they can, but fail to stop him from breaking the seal on the Tornan Titan.

MythraSiren — Mythra directs Siren's attacks

Later, Mythra uses Siren directly to attack Malos, and the two Artifices clash in the sky overhead as the party fights Malos on the ground. In spite of Malos being outnumbered he recognizes that Mythra is not using her full power and thus decides to goad it out of her by ordering his Siren to fire upon Auresco, where Addam's companion Milton, a young Gormotti and Mythra's friend, has been told to wait due to the dangers of being present for the confrontation against Malos. Mythra activates her full power, preventing Addam from driving her, and enters her own Siren to attack Malos one-on-one.

Malos wipes out Auresco and revels in Mythra's power, encouraging her to burn everything. She shoots him down, destroying his Siren and badly damaging his core crystal, but her attacks kill the Tornan Titan and it sinks beneath the Cloud Sea, leaving a single refugee ship standing. Upon arriving at the ship Mythra sees Milton's body, being shielded from her by Mikhail, and the grief causes her to spontaneously transform into Pyra in the hopes of never using her destructive capabilities again, sealing her powers beneath the second personality. Addam agrees to seal her beneath the Cloud Sea to prevent others from using that power for their own ends, and for 500 years Mythra sleeps.

Reawakening[]

Main article: Aegis

After being awoken by Rex, Pyra reveals that her true powers do not come from fire, but does not tell her companions about Mythra. Malos repeatedly asks why she chooses that weaker form over her original, but Mythra does not awaken until she has to to save Rex. In the Olethro Ruins, where Pyra has gone to save Iona from Malos and Akhos, Mythra awakens after Vandham's death and uses Siren to destroy Obrona and Sever, forcing Malos and Akhos to retreat. She is furious at having been awoken, and retreats back into Pyra for a short while.

In Mor Ardain, Mythra and Pyra agree that Rex should learn how to use Mythra's powers, and so Mythra becomes Rex's main Blade. Her powers greatly eclipse Pyra's, using light instead of fire and wrecking quite indiscriminate destruction that prevent her from fighting effectively indoors. This peaks in the Old Factory, where Torna members Patroka and Mikhail attack the party, intending to kidnap Pyra. Pyra switches to Mythra at the last minute and destroys Patroka and Mikhail's Blades, Perdido and Cressidus, leaving the pair to flee. If Mythra recognizes Mikhail from his childhood on Torna, she makes no note of it.

MythraFetter — Mythra reaches to fix the Omega Fetter

In Indol, Mythra talks with Amalthus about Torna and their shared history. Mythra also remarks that it is strange that Haze has changed her name and, after her death, that her core crystal has been halved. When she faces Jin in Temperantia, Mythra questions why he has sided with Malos now, but quickly realizes that it was due to Lora's death. Jin escapes and the party head to the Kingdom of Tantal, where Mythra is able to fix the Omega Fetter as it was initially a component of Ophion, one of her Artifices. After this however the party is ambushed by Torna, and both Mythra's foresight and Artifice were useless against Jin's ability to control elementary particles and ability to move at the speed of light. Pyra takes control of Siren for long enough to threaten her own death, and is taken by Torna along with the Omega Fetter in exchange for sparing the party.

Pneuma[]

Main article: Pneuma

PyraMythra — Pyra and Mythra talk to Rex together

Malos takes Pyra's memories, including knowledge of Artifice Aion, to restore his health. In theory this leaves Pyra a husk, essentially a body with no mind, although in practice it does not seem to do her any damage at all. The party come to rescue Pyra and fight Jin and Malos in spite of knowing that Pyra has been emptied and that Jin is able to defeat them alone. Rex fights without an Aegis sword and as he does so he sees both Pyra and Mythra, who tell him that he should leave them to die, as that is why they wanted to get to Elysium anyway. Rex insists that he is fighting for them, and his resolution and understanding of both of them allows him to access the power that Addam could not - and Pneuma awakens, unharmed, to fight at Rex's side.

RexMythra — Mythra wakes up in Rex's lap

During the battle, Malos summons Ophion, to which Pneuma summons Siren. The two Artifices battle, and that battle destroys the ground below, causing the party to fall to the Land of Morytha, splitting them into small groups. Mythra wakes up with Rex, and they set out to find the others - but first find Jin, whose core has been damaged and is struggling to fight a Guldo. Mythra attempts to use her Aegis powers to restore him, but discovers that he is a flesh eater and thus cannot heal him completely. They continue to travel through Morytha, and find Brighid, Poppi, and Azurda.

PoppiMythra — Poppi and Mythra make a promise

While the group rests, Poppi confides in Mythra that she fears, because she is a machine, that she may cause destruction as whatever machines destroyed Morytha did. Mythra promises her that she will destroy her if she becomes destructive, and Poppi promises to do something of equal measure for Mythra, too. They reunite with the rest of the group and make their way up the World Tree, finding Elysium at the top. It is a barren, dusty wasteland with the ruins of a city, contrary to Mythra's memories. The church bell that has always tolled in Mythra's memories stops as they approach the church, and descending into it causes the party to be split into their own minds, going over confrontational interactions with each other that explore timelines that could have been. Rex winds up in a house with Pyra and Mythra, who are acting opposite to their usual characters, and when Rex begins to cry Pyra asks that the Architect stop.

PyraMythraWhole — Mythra and Pyra as separate Blades

The party fight and kill Malos, and Pneuma uses Aion to save Alrest from the debris of the World Tree as it collapses, letting her companions escape and accepting her death from the resulting explosion. Poppi abides by her promise to Mythra and does not help Rex intervene.

After Pneuma's sacrifice and the rebirth of the world, Pneuma's core crystal begins to glow in Rex's hand. He resonates with it again and in a brilliant pillar of light both Pyra and Mythra reawaken in separate bodies.

Future Redeemed[]

XB3Endingphotoofxb2cast — Mythra, Pyra, and their children in a group photo

At some point, Mythra is viewed with her child in a group photograph.

When the worlds of Alrest and Bionis began the process of recombining, an event which would cancel out both worlds and destroy them, Nia and Melia came into contact and began constructing Origin in order to save their worlds from destruction. However, when the time came for Origin to activate, it failed to do so and instead, due to being seized by Z, caused both worlds to be frozen in time, creating a third one, Aionios. During the final fight against Alpha, it is revealed that both her and Pyra's souls and wills are within Matthew's Ouroboros Knuckles, when he is able to unleash Pneuma's power from within his Ouroboros Knuckles thanks to N lending him the power of his Sword of the End, with a transparent manifestation of Pneuma's core appearing on the Gauntlet itself, and its power allows Matthew and his friends to complete the full Ouroboros transformation and vanquish Alpha.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3[]

After Z∞ is defeated and Origin is reactivated, Nia and Poppi happily look at a group photo of them with Pyra and Mythra, holding their children, along with all their other friends, as the worlds of Alrest and the Bionis are reconstructed.

Battle[]

Mythra is fought alongside her Driver, Addam, in Feltley Village at level 10 before she joins the party. Unlike most Blade enemies, Mythra fights as a separate enemy rather than a buff for Addam.

As with all story-exclusive enemies in Torna ~ The Golden Country, Mythra drops no items, only gold.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

"Mythra Awakens!"

— Introductory tagline

Pyra-Mythra SSBU — Pyra & Mythra in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*

Mythra is a downloadable playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. More specifically, Mythra and Pyra function as one character, with players having the option to switch back and forth between them, similarly to how Zelda and Sheik functioned in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Although the two are paired, Mythra has her own fighter number, 80, while Pyra's is 79. The two were released on March 4, 2021 for Challenger Pack 9 as part of Fighters Pass Vol. 2.

Mythra's overall moveset is similar to Pyra's, but there are some basic differences. Mythra is a lot faster at fighting than Pyra, even surpassing Fox's running speed. However, Mythra's higher overall mobility comes at the cost of being less powerful on offense, since most of her attacks lack the knockback strength to KO fighters at realistic damage percentages. Mythra is also lighter than Pyra; she shares her weight with the Ice Climbers, Lucario, Wolf, Villager, and Steve, meaning that she is lighter than Joker but heavier than Toon Link and Palutena. Mythra's taunt quotes are also different; her down taunt quote, "Think you can take me?", and her swap-in line, "You're done!", are both references to the battle quotes of Ardainian Soldiers in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Mythra and Pyra share the same route in Classic Mode, "Shared Destinies," where each battle involves Mythra and Pyra battling two fighters who share similar movesets. The final battle is a boss fight against both Master Hand and Crazy Hand.

Mythra and Pyra were originally confirmed as playable characters in the Nintendo Direct on February 17, 2021, in their reveal trailer, "One Day, Pyra Just Disappeared." The trailer begins with announcing Pyra, and during a battle with Link in which he throws a Remote Bomb at her, Mythra interjects from within Pyra, alerting her "sister" to the danger at hand, and offers to take over their shared body. Pyra then transforms into Mythra and continues fighting with Link, successfully reflecting the bomb back at him. After a moveset showcase that introduces the Cloud Sea of Alrest, Mythra meets Shulk on Gaur Plain, referencing Shulk's DLC appearance in Xenoblade Chronicles 2, then transforms into Pyra as the two exchange words and rush at each other. A follow-up presentation showcasing Pyra and Mythra's moves occurred on March 4, 2021, the same day as their release.

Mythra and Pyra have become notably popular among the DLC fighters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, obtaining first place among the entire Ultimate roster in a Japanese popularity poll run by the Netorabo Survey Team (20,000 votes)^[1]^[2] and causing copies of their original game, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, to sell out in Japan and other countries.^[3]

Special moves[]

SSBU DLC 03 — Mythra using her neutral special move, Lightning Buster

Mythra's special moves consist of her abilities as seen in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country, except for her self-explanatory down special move, Swap to Pyra.

Mythra's neutral special is Lightning Buster, where Mythra charges up her sword by holding her sword upright, before unleashing five consecutive slashes in front, last hit launching.

Mythra's side special is Photon Edge, in which she dashes forward and performs six slashes, with a wide reach.

Mythra's up special is Ray of Punishment, an upwards slash followed by a projectile fired down and slightly forwards that explodes upon impact. If the button is pressed more than once or held, Mythra's up special becomes Chroma Dust which is a variant of Ray of Punishment that fires multiple downward shots in a wider range.

Upon dodging with precise timing from certain attacks, Mythra activates Foresight, a dodging maneuver similar to Bayonetta's Bat Within that slows an opponent for a moment, leaving them open to a counterattack from Mythra.

Mythra's Final Smash is Sacred Arrow. Upon activation, Rex appears and performs a slash attack that starts the cinematic. When the cinematic ends, any opponents hit are barraged by multiple light arrows before being launched.

Spirits[]

Mythra also appears as a support spirit, included in the base game a few years prior to Mythra's reveal as a fighter. Her artwork was also altered from its original appearance, adding clothing to cover up her cleavage as well as black elastane-like leggings, most likely to keep the game's ESRB rating to E10+ and CERO rating to A+. Prior to this game's release, this edited design was added into the version 2.0.2 update of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Torna ~ The Golden Country as Massive Melee Mythra. Mythra's spirit battle involves fighting female Corrin, representing Mythra, and Shulk, representing Rex, on the Battlefield form of Gaur Plain. When equipped, Mythra's spirit gives the fighter a chance of landing a random powerful attack.

Alongside Mythra's release as a downloadable fighter was her own fighter spirit, titled "Mythra (Fighter)" to differentiate from her support spirit.

Quotes[]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Post-Battle Dialogue[]

Rex	"Cheers Mythra. You did good!"
Mythra	"With Foresight, victory is assured. Oh... I'm sure you helped out as well."

Mythra	"Do you wanna stop staring at me, or what?"
Rex	"I wasn't looking, honest! You just... keep entering my field of vision, 'is all."

Azurda	"Pyra and Mythra, your fighting styles are as different as your personalities."
Mythra	"And yet we could be considered two sides of the same coin."

Condition: After watching the event "Swooping Artifice" (Beginning of Chapter 4).
Nia	"Mythra, I think you might be overdoing it a touch."
Mythra	"Heh, really? Heh heh... I was really afraid of that."

Tora	"Mythra, why you only mean to Rex-Rex?"
Mythra	"Hm? You'd rather I was mean to you?"

Chapter 8 spoilers:

Mythra	"Poppi, you've definitely... developed. But your personality seems to have remained the same."
Poppi QTπ	"Not entirely correct. Poppi has become versed in various recondite lexicons."

Chapter 4 spoilers:

Mòrag	"I'm getting somewhat grimy. You mentioned that you knew some hot springs, Mythra?"
Mythra	"There were some I liked five hundred years ago. I hope they're still there."

Chapter 5 spoilers:

Mythra	"Eyes front, Thunderdweeb. Go stare at Pandoria instead."
Zeke	"I'm just making sure the power of the Aegis is being used correctly."

Mythra	"We finished quicker than I expected. All thanks to foresight, of course."
Rex	"Good sign! We're ready to change the future, aren't we?"
Nia	"Uh, right, I totally agree. Listen to the girl, Rex!"

Tora	"Poppi, are you okay? No damage?"
Poppi α	"Poppi is just fine, but what about you, Masterpon?"
Mythra	"Aww, look at you two. Best buddies!"

Chapter 5 spoilers:

Nia	"Good work at looking after your Drivers, you two."
Mythra	"Sure, though I think Pandoria has a harder time with that than me."
Pandoria	"What do you mean? Zeke has loads of good qualities! Like uh...and huh..."

Mythra	"Rex, come here! Look at the state of you, you're a total mess."
Mòrag	"Don't be too harsh on Rex. I'll soon knock some Ardainian sense into him."
Pandoria	"The Prince is the same. Last week I had to remind him to put on pants."

Chapter 6 spoilers:

Aegaeon	"Mythra... You may find that a little tranquility can go a long way."
Mythra	"How dare you! I'm the very picture of calm!"

Azami	"Mythra, you're blinding me. The light, it's simply too much!"
Mythra	"Would you rather have Pyra? I can't promise she'll be less bright."

Expansion Pass spoilers:

Mythra	"Corvin, the sword on your back looks... intense."
Corvin	"She is a little. That's why I don't use her all the time. Got nothing on the Aegis, of course!"
Mythra	"That dig was uncalled for..."

Mythra	"We finished quicker than I expected. All thanks to Foresight, of course."
Elma	"Really? You look a little shaken up, hahaha!"

Floren	"Hey Mythra, you look super cute when you're fighting."
Mythra	"O-obviously! You're... you're really cute, too."

Mythra	"You and I are similar in many ways, Kora."
Kora	"I think so too! Since we're such good friends... It's okay if I don't pay you back for the cake from before, right?"

Mythra	"That's weird, I thought it would go smoother than that."
Rex	"Give yourself a break! You spent the last five hundred years sleeping."
KOS-MOS	"I suggest enhancing your predictive methods through accumulative training, Mythra."

Perceval	"Oh Aegis, I would not have conceived you thus."
Mythra	"Not what you expected? I'm cute as hell, so who cares?"

Sheba	"We must have you in our entourage. By whatever means possible!"
Mythra	"Give it up! I don't belong to anyone."

Xenoblade Chronicles 1 spoilers:

Mythra	"Shulk, your sword... Is it really, uh..."
Shulk	"Yes. Everything you've heard is true."
Mythra	"It's alright, I don't need the details now. But one day, you'll have to tell me all about it."

Theory	"Your fighting style is very free-form, isn't it Mythra?"
Mythra	"Excuse you. I fight only after careful calculation."

Torna ~ The Golden Country Post-Battle Dialogue[]

Lora	"You really do have a lot of trouble keeping your power in check, don’t you, Mythra?"
Mythra	"It’s not my fault my enemies fall over when I so much as look at ‘em funny."
Jin	"…I would rather not cross swords with her again, if I can avoid it."

Mythra	"With me here, it was obvious we were gonna win."
Jin	"Presumptuous, aren't you?"
Mythra	"Hm? What was that now?"
Lora	"Easy now, guys. We're all friends here."

Jin	"It looks like I'm on dinner duty tonight. Does anyone have any requests?"
Mythra	"Ooo, do something meaty!"
Jin	"Understood. Steamed vegetables it is."
Mythra	"Wow. Rude."

Mythra	"Say, Lora. What do you do when the going gets tough?"
Lora	"Well, I… suppose I start thinking about the people dearest to me."
Mythra	"Loved ones, uh. Solid plan..."
Lora	"Right. And after that, it's hard not to end up grinning like an idiot!"

Jin	"It looks like I'm on dinner duty tonight. Does any-"
Mythra	"Oh, desserts! I demand it!"
Aegaeon	"I too would appreciate something sweet."
Jin	"That's not dinner. Try again."

Addam	"According to the locals, the horrors come out at night here."
Mythra	"Pff, you mean ghosts? It's fine! Just let me at 'em and watch 'em run."
Jin	"I too will let none oppose us, whether they hail from this world or the next."
Addam	"Actually I was talking about tough enemies. Sorry to disappoint."

Brighid	"That was an excellent battle. I should record this in my journal."
Jin	"Indeed. I'm sure there will be profound insights to be found in the telling."
Mythra	"For sure! Just make sure to note how great I did, okay? Thanks~"
Brighid	"You truly are incorrigible, Mythra."

Mythra	"Thanks for the rescue, Haze. You're nice."
Haze	"Oh, a thanks from Mythra? There's something you don't hear every day."
Mythra	"Wow. I take that back. Haze is the master of lowkey shade."

Brighid	"I think you'll agree the victory was undoubtedly MINE this time, Mythra."
Mythra	"I just wasn't really feeling it. So, I thought "Hey, I'll throw you a bone!""
Haze	"You two are such good friends, I must admit I'm a little envious."
Brighid & Mythra	"Ahah…"

Addam	"You know, I'm really glad it was me who got to awaken you, Mythra."
Mythra	"Uh? What's gotten into you all of the sudden?"
Addam	"Ahah, no reason. Just thought I should mention it."

Mythra	"So, Addam. Think you understand how to fight alongside me now?"
Addam	"Nope, no clue. I've a long way to go before I can measure up to Her Ladyship."

Mythra	"Oh yeah, Mythra's MVP, again!"
Brighid	"I beg to differ, because to me, it seems like they had you surrounded."
Mythra	"Uh? No way, I wiped the floor with them before you could even blink!"
Addam	"We've enough fighting to be getting on with, Mythra. Do we really need this petty rivalry?"

Addam	"Aegaeon. If you don't mind my saying, aren't you being a little overprotective of Hugo?"
Aegaeon	"The bonds tying me to His Majesty are stronger than anything in this world. I could never leave his side, not for any reason, ever."
Mythra	"I think "overprotective" might be an understatement."

Mythra	"Hugo, do you consider the Aegis'… I mean, MY power a danger?"
Hugo	"As long as you are with Addam, there is nothing to fear."
Mythra	"Phew, you sure put a lot of trust in that guy."
Hugo	"I think you understand why I do."

Brighid	"Your sword fighting is so boorish, Mythra. You remind me of a rabid Gogol, the way you swing that sword around."
Mythra	"Oooh, you gonna say THAT to me? You with your swords that stretch out like ardainian dog leashes? Actually, I just imagined you walking around with two dogs, and I gotta say, might be kind of a good look for you."
Brighid & Mythra	"Hmph."

Mythra	"Aegaeon. Important question. Who do you think is stronger, me, or Brighid?"
Aegaeon	"Hm… You put so much stock in external displays of power, do you."
Mythra	"What do you mean? Strength is strength, right? Right?!"

Condition: After departure from the Militia Garrison
Mythra	"I'm getting some awkward vibes between you and Jin, Lora. Is it complicated?"
Lora	"What? What's that supposed to- There's nothing going on between us. At all."
Haze	"Don't worry, Lady Lora. I'm still your number one fan."

Condition: After Lora becomes a knight of Torna
Haze	"Lady Lora, I'd love to tour some open-air hot springs at the next available opportunity."
Brighid	"That sounds delightful. Sign me up too while you're at it."
Mythra	"H-hang on just a minute! C-can I go too?"

Condition: After Lora becomes a knight of Torna
Mythra	"You… you did good back there, Brighid. Obviously not as good as me, but, still."
Brighid	"What was that? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. Would you mind repeating the first part again?"
Hugo	"Shall I repeat it for you, Brighid? I had no trouble hearing."
Brighid	"Goodness no, Your Majesty."

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]

"Prepare yourself."
"Think you can take me?!"
"Nuh-uh."

"Shulk?!"
"Ooh, fighting words."

Mythra figure note17 img01 — The 1/7 scale Mythra figure

In addition to the Pyra figure previously announcement by Nintendo, Monolith Soft has announced the Mythra and Siren figures made into a 1/7 scale respectively by Good Smile Company and Kotobukiya. The Mythra figure is approximately 210mm in height, and is based on a concept art designed by Masatsugu Saito. This concept art was used as Mythra's Fighter Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but was redesigned to match Mythra's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate apperance.

Etymology[]

Her Japanese name Hikari, 光 in kanji, means "light". The English name, Mythra, alludes to Mitra, a reconstructed name of a Proto-Indo-Iranian Divinity, from whom derived Mitrá, Rigvedic name of a Indo-Aryan Divinity representing in time the Oath, Friendship, or (eye of, light of) the morning sun; and Mithra, Avestan name of a Zoroastrian angelic Divinity (yazata) of Covenant, Light and Oath.

Mythra's Chinese name, 光, is a direct translation of her Japanese name. Similarly, Mythra's Korean name, 히카리, was transliterated from her Japanese name. However, Mythra's Russian name, Мифра, was transliterated from her English name, instead.

Trivia[]

Mythra and her alternate forms, Pyra and Pneuma, are the only Blades guaranteed to be available at any point in the playthrough during New Game Plus regardless of the player's previous progress, even before Rex awakens her or Pyra or when captured during the story.
In Torna ~ The Golden Country, when luring an enemy, Mythra will do a "finger gun" animation instead of the usual throwing animation.
