Lei Kugo

==Summary ==
Lei Kugo is a character from LIVE A LIVE and is possibly one of the eight main characters of the game. She is one of the three disciples in the "The Inheritor" and if the player chooses to train her more than the others, the sole survivor and inheritor of the Earthen Heart Kung Fu. If another trainee is their preferred, Lei will die along with the third in an assault by the Indomitable Fist clan. 
She was once a bandit who lurked around the bamboo forest to rob people off of their money. However her loss at the hands of the Earthen Heart Shifu convinced her to become his disciple, initially simply to learn how to defeat him. She is tough, impatient and can be easily angered but her training and the death of her master have made her much kinder and calmer. After his demise, she began to keep training herself hoping to surpass his master, while simultaneously acting as a teacher to pass on the Earthen Heart to a whole new generation.
After this, she is taken from her time alongside six others by the Lord of Dark, Odio, and is among the ones who contribute to his defeat.
