====== Champion Xarsa ======

===== The Rest of Their Life =====

==== Classified Internal Assessment ====

All assessments completed. The Committee recommends __strongly__ that Potential Xarsa should be assigned the Visionary caste as soon as possible. 

The following report contains the full assessment of Potential Xarsa, including her personality and personal history. The Xarsa in this report is the time traveller who has returned from the //Prometheus// Station, not the Champion Xarsa of our timeline. 

Xarsa was born a Champion and served under the Sword division until 1282, when she became a time traveling agent under the command of the SAC of the Gun division. She has proven to be highly diplomatic and her strategic insights averted much disaster on the //Ananke// Station - both are traits befitting of a Visionary. Her actions on the Ananke have averted several potential wars and saved the lives of innumerable Eunomians, including that of Ordained Oresteus and Ordained Eusenia. After her return, she played an active role in the promotion of the Iridescent Provinces. She has demonstrated a remarkable ability in befriending prominent figures in all fields and has since been known as a voice of reason and moderation in a time of uncertainty. 

Xarsa has a clear vision that aligns closely to the Eternal Order. She will serve her purpose best as a Visionary. She is already a skilled diplomat, thus placing her within the Diplomat division would be natural. However, considering her well-honed capacity of strategic thinking, ties to the members of the Prometheus project, and her influence within Eunomia, the Committee recommends placing her in the Councillor division. Her journey from a Champion to a Potential and then a Visionary would also serve as a clear positive example of what the Iridescent Provinces can achieve.

==== Film Review ====

The film is a lurid spectacle. Nothing less, nothing more. As someone who's into Eunomian history, I just want to say that it definitely wasn't historical. There are far too many inaccuracies in the film for me to list them here (technically I can, but that would bore everyone, including me; also someone's probably made a Spacetube video about it somewhere already), so I will just point out the most striking few that not only deviate from history but also make the characters significantly different from the real historical figures. 

1. There is much evidence supporting the theory that Xarsa was working with (and likely also monitoring) F.L. before F.L. went too far. It was almost certain that it couldn't have been a "sudden betrayal" on F.L./Despina's part. They were both politicians, as much as that word applies in an Eunomian context. It takes two to play the game. 

2. Xarsa was a Councillor (Visionary) long before Failing Light's death. The assassination of Failing Light could not retrospectively "promote" her to Visionary status. The whole "To make Eunomia better, I must become a Councillor. If that means the sacrifice of a former friend is necessary, then so be it" arc is simply wrong. Also that's not how it works. You don't become a Visionary for killing a threat. That's a Champion's job anyway. The fact that Visionary Xarsa took Failing Light's life herself, despite that she is no longer a Champion is in itself symbolically very interesting. But that's not how the story the film chose to tell, so, well. 

3. As far as we know, Xarsa did not actually obtain permission to assassinate F.L. beforehand, presumably because she feared that F.L. may have infiltrated the government? If you look into it, there's record that Xarsa was in fact //pardoned//, meaning that she did break the law. She took the mission on her own initiative. Interesting, right?
