Published by Nintendo, Xenoblade is the latest entry in the Xeno series of role-playing games.

This is amusing for fans because it also plays off her fan-given nickname “CG”, as in she’s a cyborg, the way she looks when she performs, almost artificial. I found when she looks at you, it’s like she’s piercing through your soul with her black eyes. It’s… odd. And adorable.
