Spoiler alert

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 swear I won't stop until I've scrapped each and every one of you!"
— Sharla

Sharla (Japanese: カルナ, Karuna, Carna; English dub: /ˈʃɑːrlə/) is one of the seven playable characters in Xenoblade Chronicles, and a medic of the Colony 6 Defence Force. She uses an ether rifle to fight, and her speciality is healing. She is Juju's older sister and Gadolt's fiance. She becomes playable during Chapter 4.

Personality[]

Sharla is a kind-hearted, strong-witted, and loving person. However, she has a vengeful side that is first seen when Xord reveals that he ate the entire Defence Force of Colony 6. She is also shown to be devoted to those she cares for, especially Gadolt and her young brother Juju. She originally became a medic so she could protect Juju and heal him whenever he got hurt according to the Heart-to-Heart "Revisiting the Past". She also acts motherly especially in all Heart-to-Hearts with Dunban and she treats Melia like her own sister, encouraging her feelings for Shulk. Sharla intends to become a doctor once things have settled down, according to "The Colony Reborn".

Although after particularly harrowing incidents causes Sharla to lose her will to continue, encouragement from the party and her own resolve to fight allows her to carry on, determined to keep fighting until the antagonistic forces that threaten those she cares for are taken down once and for all.

Appearance[]

At 1.68 m (5'6") Sharla is a fairly tall woman, with tan skin, long black hair reaching just past her shoulders, soft brown eyes, and a beauty mark on the lower left of her lip.

Her standard outfit consists of a blue crop top with short rippled sleeves and four square golden button-like jewels in front, an orangish red waistcoat with three rifle bullets in the pockets, a pair of silver goggles with dark brown straps, white shorts, a grey belt, brown elbow-length gloves with dark brown straps and silver buckles, and a pair of dark brown knee-high boots with blackish brown soles, silver buckles on the straps, and blue stockings pulled over the top of them.

In the Definitive Edition, if equipped with some Orion-type headgear, Sharla's hair becomes orange and tied in an updo, with blunt-cut bangs.

Story[]

Xenoblade Chronicles[]

XC1DE-Sharla-and-Juju

Sharla meets the party

Prior to the start of the story, Sharla and her younger brother Juju lived in Colony 6. Sharla was due to marry a member of Colony 6's Defence Force named Gadolt. Unfortunately, the Mechon attacked, led by Xord, and destroyed Colony 6, decimating its population. Sharla and Juju were tasked with helping the young and elderly flee the Colony.

It is at the Refugee Camp that Sharla meets Shulk and Reyn. She almost immediately takes a liking to Reyn but has trouble believing that Shulk can witness the future. When Juju runs away the three give chase, and Sharla reveals her speciality is healing. They eventually reach Juju, who has been captured by a Mechon M71, and defeat it. During this battle, Sharla realises that Shulk's visions are real.

Sharla fights the Mechon M71

Unfortunately for Sharla, their victory is short-lived as Xord appears and terrorises the group. He kidnaps Juju, causing Sharla to faint from the stress of the ordeal for about four hours. Upon recovering, Sharla leads the party through the Ether Mine, below Colony 6, and they find Xord. When she finds that Xord ate the entire Defence Force, she swears not to stop until she has destroyed every Mechon. After the battle, she is asked to accompany Shulk on his journey. She also receives Gadolt's Rifle from Otharon.

Sharla's healing helps Melia when they find her injured in Makna Forest; Sharla heals her and fast becomes her friend, helping Melia with her feelings for Shulk. Along the way she begins to develop her own affection for Reyn, although does not act on it as she believes that Gadolt must still be alive somewhere.

Future Connected[]

In Future Connected, Sharla is among those who travel to the newly reclaimed Alcamoth to help with the city's restoration, and is also among those present for Melia's coronation as Empress of the High Entia.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3[]

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Sharla reappears in a flashback during From Atop Her Throne, when the party's words of encouragement reminds Melia of her old companions.

In battle[]

Cool Off

Sharla's Talent Art

In battle, Sharla acts mainly a healer. She uses a rifle as a weapon, with a big focus on Ether-based arts. Due to using a rifle, Sharla's auto-attacks and arts have the longest range in the party, albeit having low damage output. Moreover, after a certain amount of arts have been used, Sharla will need to Cool Off, which makes her unable to move during its animation and erases her active auras. If a Chain Attack is activated while Sharla is cooling off, she will not be able to participate.

Sharla has a great variety of healing and reinforcement arts, which make her very valuable in order to buff up the party. She is also the only character besides Reyn to have an initial Skill Tree that allows her to equip heavy armour.

Dialogue[]

  • "Juju! [...] Where have you been?"
  • "Don't tell me you were... [...] I've told you a thousand times. We're not ready to leave the camp yet."
  • "That gear. You must be survivors from the Defence Force! Is Colony 6 OK?! Did Gadolt make it?!"
  • "Oh, so you're not from Colony 6. [...] Thank you for helping Juju. I'm his sister, Sharla."
  • "Did you now? Well, all right. I suppose that's only fair."
  • "We had already fought off the Mechon a year ago, at the Battle of Sword Valley. [...] It left us with a false sense of security. The Colony 6 Defence Force didn't even notice the approaching Mechon. By the time the air-raid siren sounded, a swarm of Mechon had blackened the sky. They ate people and burned our buildings. Me and Juju dedicated ourselves to evacuating the children and elderly. [...] I don't know what happened next."
  • "Cheer up, you two! [...] We can't lose hope just yet! I'm certain Gadolt and the other soldiers are alive. They're still fighting. I can feel it."
  • "What, you think I can't pull my weight in battle? I've got field experience as a medic. If you get hurt, I can use ether to patch you up."
  • "Juju and the others! Tell me where they are!"
  • "You promised to protect the guy who protects you? Am I missing something?"
  • "Friends and family...alive one day... gone the next. It all became so normal. You end up wondering how you can possibly make a difference when war is so futile. I'm not the only one who felt like that sometimes. But nobody ever gave up. And you know why? [...] We had no choice but to be strong. Everybody had someone to protect. The moment you looked away, you'd lose everyone you loved. So we had to keep looking straight ahead. We couldn't stop fighting. [...] Don't go doubting yourself, even if things get tough."
  • "Hey, Reyn. [...] Do you want to beat the Mechon? [...] At any cost? Even if it means giving your own life?"
  • "If only we all thought like you. [...] It's charming."
  • "Gadolt! It's you, isn't it? Please answer me! Let me see you!"
  • [Tearfully breaking down] "No. It's not true. My Gadolt..."
  • "I can't believe it. I won't believe it! [...] Gadolt, please! ANSWER ME!"
  • "It's OK... It's all right now... I'm just so happy to have you back."
  • "Dickson! Don't let Zanza control you! Wake up!"
  • "She's right! You have to take what you want! There's no point in dying!"
