Poppi <sup>(JPJapanese: ハナ

Meaning: Hana)</sup> is an artificial Blade appearing in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Like all Blades, she has the power to grant tremendous power to her Driver, in this case, Tora. Her element and stats can be altered by Tora via Poppiswap since she is his creation. Poppi α's base element is stone and is equipped with a Drill Shield as her weapon, Poppi QT's base element is fire and is equipped with Mech Arms as her weapon while Poppi QTπ's base element is ice and is equipped with the Variable Saber as her weapon.

Poppibuster is a Nopon shaped mech piloted by Poppi MK. II that can be used by every Drivers other than Tora since his main purpose is to have Poppi fight with multiple Drivers at the same time. Poppi MK. II has no mind of her own and is herself remotely controlled by the original Poppi. The Poppibuster has his own A.I however and is programed to assist Poppi. The Poppi Buster's element is light and is equipped with a Shield Hammer as his weapon.
