New Hero - Ino

Ino is the newest hero in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. She looks mechanical despite having human-like features.

According to the official Xenoblade Japanese Twitter account, Ino is an Artificial Blade made by a Great Nopon. This is probably why the latest addition to the crew speaks like a Nopon too!
