Tora (トラ) is a playable character in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Tora is unable to become a real Driver, so as a workaround he built Poppi, an artificial Blade.
Appearance and personality[edit]
Tora is an oddly-large-for-his-age orange Nopon with tiger-like brown stripes across his body. He wears a pair of blue overalls over a white shirt, a purple bandolier with several pouches, and a pair of gold-rimmed goggles on his head. Tora's age is ambiguous, but it is clear from his behavior that he is an older child or younger teenager.
Tora is a young, intelligent, and friendly Nopon who dreams to become a Driver despite his lack of aptitude, and to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather by creating the first Artificial Blade. He highly looks up to Rex as a role model, calling him "Rex-Rex" (アニキ, Big Brother). Having spent most of his time in his house working on Poppi, Tora can be rather naive and awkward with others despite his good intentions. He has a large interest in cute or "blushy-crushy" (moe) things, particularly maids, and is usually very enthusiastic about showing it to others.
Story arc[edit]
Xenoblade Chronicles 2[edit]
Tora's first effect on the plot is to launch a weapon at the authorities because he doesn't like how they're bullying someone. Luckily, the "Boom Biter" strikes a water pipe, dousing the fire Blade Brighid and allowing Rex, Pyra, and Gramps to get away. Tora steps out of his hidey-hole and invites them to his hidden house to help them lose the soldiers. He then proceeds to declare that he's decided "Rex-Rex" is now a friend and mentor of his for being such a good Driver, and is willing to help them rescue Nia and Dromarch from the troops. But to do so, he needs help (financially) - he's very close to completing an Artificial Blade, one started by his dead grampypon and missing dadapon. Rex agrees, and it isn't too long before Tora is able to complete Poppi, who immediately proves invaluable in sneaking aboard the Titan Battleship where Nia is being held.

As a playable character[edit]
- Main article: Tora/Gameplay (XC2)
As Tora is not a real Driver, his own gameplay is fairly limited, having access to very few predetermined Blades. These Blades are very good, however, and while his own arts are somewhat locked into making him two parts defender and one part attacker, with proper investment he can be carried into being the best player-controlled character in the game.
As an NPC[edit]

This page does not yet have data. Its prose may be complete, but it lacks the data that lets other pages automatically refer to it. If you know how, you can help complete it. The editor who added this tag elaborates: Fonsett NPC data |
Tora can first be found on the Indoline Titan Ship at the very beginning of Chapter 5. He can later be found at Messet Point, during the party's stay in Fonsett Village.
Dialogue[edit]
Indoline Titan Ship[edit]
Expecially now Rex-Rex invited to meet most special person in Indol! Rex-Rex even more amazing than Tora thought?
Fonsett Village[edit]
Looks like can probably salvage very intriguing things here! Just as interesting as Mor Ardain!
Anyway, Tora stay here for now. Friends go have fun and relax!
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Tora appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Spirit. He also appears on the Cloud Sea of Alrest stage in the background alongside his Blade, Poppi.
Trivia[edit]
