Is it just to cover up after Ghaleon gets Lemia out of the way, so people won't look for her? I don't remember Xenobia as Lemia doing anything but throwing people into the dungeon.
I think Xenobia's involvement was just left to being a cover-up, as they had tried to get Lemia involved, but failed.

I'm inclined to agree. I don't think Xenobia was sent there to take Lemia's place so much as Ghaleon tried to recruit Lemia on to his side and failed, so he had to remove her. Obviously it would not be a good idea for Lemia to be missing, so he had Xenobia replace her. Not the most ideal candidate obviously, but better than no Lemia at all. Even though Xenobia was a terrible Lemia, at least people actually believed it was her.

Yeah, actually I guess his diary entry more or less makes this clear. Don't have screenshots handy, but as I recall he writes that Lemia refused to go along, as he expected, and that he'd call in Xenobia tomorrow. Although that raises a different question of why he'd broach the idea to her so far in advance.

Umm...she didn't die. You can talk to her in Meribia at the end of the game, and there's a note written by her in a book in EBC. In fact, her first mention in the series was in a manga which indicates she was still around in Hiro's lifetime.
Hmm... I think Xenobia is always gonna be the one I like most. She's "in love" with Ghaleon which makes her cool right off the bat. I also think her design is coolest too.
Personally I'd go with Phacia. She's beautiful without being too revealing, she's intelligent, and she has a good heart. I can't bring myself to like Royce (sorry guys!) she was just... evil. I would peg her for the most evil of the sisters. Then there's Xenobia... who was evil but loved Ghaleon (to which I can picture Ghaleon twitching about), eh... I guess I just wasn't into her either. She and Royce both were on the annoying side to me (it could be that they kept popping up and making me fight things... who knows?).
