R (Japanese: アール, Āru) is a character in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Overview

R is the Consul of Colony 11. Previously, she presided over Colony Sigma.

She has an average build and wears a helmet shaped like the head of a jackal or other canine. She has amber eyes. In her Moebius form, R takes the form of a bipedal creature with an hourglass build, pointed "ears" or horns that take after her helmet, a maw full of pointy teeth, an infinity sign over her navel, a hoop around her waist, and sword-like extensions on her wrists.

R is prideful, shrewd, and conceited. She characterizes herself as a chess master, and refers to those below her as her "pawns." Like most Consuls, she does not tolerate affronts to her authority and threatens to execute those who do not treat her with respect. R is cunning and takes pleasure in outsmarting her opponents; however, she isn't above relying on underhanded tactics, such as when she has W stab Ashera in the back. She's also sharp-tongued and frequently lashes out at and insults her adversaries. R is prone to fits of maniacal laughter, which seems to at least partially be a nervous habit.

Story

Her first appearance is on top of Colony Sigma, in the opening cutscene. She makes another appearance commenting on J. At some point, despite being in charge of Colony 11, R is in control of an Agnian colony where they fought against Consul V's Kevesi Colony, only to lose to them causing the Consul to berate her Agnian soldiers to be useless pawns.

She is later defeated by Ashera and Ouroboros in Colony 11, but is spared, and makes her escape, vowing to take revenge.

Later, she launches an assault on the colony with zombified puppet soldiers from both Keves and Agnus, with the help of Consul W's powers. After pushing Ashera, Ouroboros, and her commanders back to the colony gates, she challenges Ashera to a duel at Hovering Reef 0, before calling off her attack.

When the party reaches the reef, R begins to distract Ashera by bringing up her neck injury and past life. While she is distracted, W teleports behind Ashera and stabs her in the back, which causes her to fall under the Consul's control. After a brief battle between the party and Ashera, Eunie lands a shot on Ashera, causing her to regain control of herself, driving R into a rage and snapping at W. After Ashera taunts her, both R and W engage in combat themselves, but are defeated and killed.
