Pyra is a {{s|xenoserieswiki|Blade}}, which are personifications of weapons used by {{s|xenoserieswiki|Driver}}s. Blades are essentially immortal, only returning to their {{s|xenoserieswiki|Core Crystal}}s once their Driver dies. Pyra specifically is one of two legendary Blades known as the {{s|xenoserieswiki|Aegis}}, a legendary Blade; Pyra has fire elemental abilities. [[Rex]], the protagonist of ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'', becomes Pyra's Driver after she shares part of her life force with him to save his life after being mortally wounded. This link makes Pyra dependent on Rex's survival: if he were to die in combat, she would die with him. Rex vows to protect Pyra on their shared quest to find the paradise land of {{s|xenoserieswiki|Elysium}}. Pyra differs quite drastically from [[Mythra]].

In the aftermath of the {{s|xenoserieswiki|Aegis War}}, Mythra was able to witness firsthand how much destruction her battles against {{s|xenoserieswiki|Malos}}, the other Aegis, had caused. In anguish, she transformed into Pyra to cope with the consequences of her actions, splitting her personality. {{s|xenoserieswiki|Addam}}, the prince of the {{s|xenoserieswiki|Kingdom of Torna}} and her Driver at the time, traveled with Pyra to seal away Mythra's true sword that he was unable to control; then he put Pyra in stasis on the {{s|xenoserieswiki|Ancient Ship}} and sank it under the Cloud Sea to prevent her from reawakening and losing control. 500 years later, Rex, a Leftherian salvager, was hired by the new terrorist organization known as Torna to bring up the Ancient Ship. Rex accidentally touches the core crystal of Aegis and is promptly killed by {{s|xenoserieswiki|Jin}}, the antagonist of the game. Just before Rex died, he meets Pyra in a vision at Elysium. Pyra offers half of her life force to Rex to save his life if he helps her reach Elysium, to which Rex agrees. The two managed to escape Jin and go on an adventure to find Elysium. Along the way, they amass a party of other Blades and Drivers that have similar goals. | In the aftermath of the {{s|xenoserieswiki|Aegis War}}, Mythra was able to witness firsthand how much destruction her battles against {{s|xenoserieswiki|Malos}}, the other Aegis, had caused.
