Agria

Agria the Shadowless (アグリア), formerly known as Nadia Travis (ナディア・L・トラヴィス), is a primary antagonist in Tales of Xillia. She is alternatively known as the "Lady in Red".

History
Agria was originally a Rashugal noble named Nadia Travis until her title was stripped from her by her stepmother. After Presa found her, Agria was trained to become one of the Chimeriad. At the beginning of the story, Agria breaks into the Fennmont Research Laboratory seeking the Lance of Kresnik. However, she flees after fighting Jude Mathis and Milla Maxwell. Later, in Fennmont, Jude and the group encounter and question her concerning the whereabouts of the Lance of Kresnik. Agria refuses to answer, instead opting to fight the group. After the fight, Agria tells them that the way to the Lance was sealed. After deliberately taunting Leia Rolando, Agria flees.

Immediately after Gilland's invasion, Agria assaults Jude and another soldier. Presa proceeds to tell her it is useless to attack them while they are unconscious, to which Agria claims it is no fun not hearing any suffering, providing insight into her sadistic behavior. The next day, at a temple, she, Gaius, and the rest of the Chimeriad inform Jude they will have to work together in order to stop Gilland. They reclaim their city, capture one of the battleships, and eventually board Gilland's battleship. Later, at the Hollowmount behind Milla's shrine, Agria and Presa fight Jude and the group. After the fight, the terrain collapses, and both Agria and Presa fall to their deaths. While falling, Leia saves her by grabbing her, but Agria refuses to be saved by her and pushes her hand away. In an alternate timeline in Tales of Xillia 2, Leia saves Agria, and the two become friends.

Appearance and Personality
Agria has long, grayish violet hair, fair skin blemished in freckles, and pink eyes. She wears a red dress donned with black feathers and black thigh-high boots. Agria finds great pleasure in torture and is quick to belittle others with witty comments. Her insistence to find flaws in others may make her seem immature. For example, she mocks Leia's scent and gives her the degrading nickname "Pimple". Due to her child-like nature, Agria has little faith in workmanship and is quite lazy. She does not believe that the stress of daily work can necessarily improve society.
