She says that Viole is now her "God".

Powers and Abilities
She is a Lightbearer, and proficient in the use of her lighthouses.

Devil of the Right Arm
Horyang pays Xia Xia for information on Cassano's whereabouts, and she directs him towards The Hand of Arlen. She later encounters Jyu Viole Grace, tells him about Horyang passing through, and accompanies him to the Hand (for a fee). She attempts to manipulate Viole into killing Ran and Novik, who were standing over Horyang's bloody body.

She also hired an assasin to kill those who came to the hand. It is later revealed that she is a FUG. She tells Koon that Viole hired her to kill potentially dangerous E-rank regulars. Viole goes with her but threatens to kill her if she ever threatens his friends again. In response to this, she retalliates by blowing up the Hand, supposedly killing Koon. Ran and Novik are taken in her escape pod.

Bet
In the escape pod, she commented on the survival of Ran and Novick. The two of them asked her what her motives were, and she answered that it was to build up a reputation for Jyu Viole Grace, and their next step would be to win the Workshop Battle. Disgusted, Ran and Novick attacked Cassano and Xia Xia, but Viole stopped them using Novick's technique. He then told Xia Xia that he'd participate in the Workshop Battle if she took the two of them as their teammates. Xia Xia hesitated, but Viole insisted and she caved in.

Later, she led Reflejo and Yuto to Viole and Reflejo introduced himself. Viole had just finished testing out the power of the "thorn" and walked away. Reflejo apologized for their forceful actions, but Viole simply responded that it was because he showed weakness. Later, he, Xia Xia, Cassano, Horyang, Reflejo, and Yuto passed the 29th floor test with flying colours.

Workshop Battle
Xia Xia was sleeping when she got woken up by Io, explaining the rules of the next game.

One Shot, One Opportunity
After she woke up, she was berated by Reflejo for not keeping an eye on Viole and letting him escape. In the end, Reflejo made the decision to stay here and wait for Viole, and to only go out when there were 100 tickets left. When Anak threw her spear at their lodgings, Xia Xia directed her team with her lighthouse.

Battle x Gamble
She accompanied Viole outside where he was surrounded by FUG supporters and saw how he was disturbed by the suffering everyone had gone through. She asked Viole if he was concerned about expectations for him in the Workshop Battle. Viole didn't respond, instead asking if Xia Xia had also had similar experiences. She flippantly told him that she had nothing against Zahard and only wanted to make money. She then asked if Viole was happy that he could hate her without guilt, but Viole simply replied that he was glad she hadn't been hurt. When she left the room she ran into Novick, who told her not disturb Viole since according to him, he isn't like the other regulars who seek power, and has a special kind of light about him.

After Viole's round, she warned him not to repeat the words he spoke in his battle against the false believers, saying that "no one needed a god that didn't fulfill their wishes". She then proceeded to win her round, and went back to her room after some ribbing by Novick.
