==Biography==
She is first seen as one of the refuges from the Alcata space colony who managed to evacuate. She, alongside Rose Pattenton, is properly introduced by Diane Lance when the heroes visit the lunch room. She is later seen tending to a patient when Kaine comes to offer help, but she turns it down. After Kaine and Tapp sneak into the store room and take some of the supplies, she is seen with Rose who is tending to a baby and procures another one of the items from Tapp as well as some bandages and soap he had. She also receives a carton of milk from Kaine needed for children. She realizes he didn't make an official application for it. When he and Tapp called to report in, Kaine forks over the rest of the container before heading off. Before getting there, he receives a necklace from her.
Later when she alongside the people of the Itanbul ship were taken in as prisoners of war by the Ginanos Empire, she and Rose comforted a couple children who were frightened by Giganos troups. When Meio Plato spots her among the prisoners, he requests he carries out interrogation personally. Once his request is accepted, Linda is ordered to stay put while everyone else is moved out through the right door. Once she is brought in, Meio greets his sister after a long time separated from her. She quite disdainful towards him and wants to free alongside the prisoners again, a request he denies. When she asks what he is going to do with them, he says his faction will divide them into groups of useful and useless people as they are sent to different camps. He also says that humans who live with "space as their target" should be the "cream of the crop" who could represent earth properly and that mankind will become the foundation stone for Giganos.
Linda considers this selfish, but he counters by saying that this is the path Giganos is taking. Linda also understands why their father escaped with the Dragonars and was seemingly killed. He also says that a woman who forfeits her child is unfit to be a mother, even if her husband Lang Plato is in the wrong. The mention of her father's name from him offended Linda. He also says that a traitor is no father of his. Linda still sees her father more humane than her brother. She then sports Kaine and Tapp outside the window. When she seemingly decides to consider, Meio calls her a good sister. When he is called over by Lord Modd, he tells her to wait at the hostel.
When the soldier escorting her asks how he is related to her, he is incapacitated by by Kaine and Tapp. When the three hide in the elevator, Linda explains that the prisoners are being taken to camps. Before parting ways with her, Linda tells the two not to be so reckless. After Linda is taken back to Meio, he is quite furious with her and asks why she gave Kaine the necklace, she exclaims that having someone like Meio as a brother make her feel ashamed and snatches his gun when he was distracted. After running off, saying goodbye to him. When he asks where the wireless communication was sent, she exclaims it was from one of the Dragonars. After reuniting with Kaine, he gets the gun from her and helps Ben Rooney snatch a gun from one of the guards in order for the rest of the prisoners escape.
After the escape, Linda along with Dianne and Soul tend to Kaine's wounds. Later when Kenny asks for people skilled enough to prevent everyone on board from dying when they enter the atmosphere of Earth, Linda explains she has been studying electronics and is professionally qualified. After landing on Earth, she remained with Soul, Dianne, and Rose when the refugees are dropped off. When helping with a group of wounded, she talks with Kaine who no longer wishes to pilot his Dragonar. Soon she was suddenly kidnapped by Giganos spies.
After receiving a note on Linda's kidnapping, Kaine heads to the location she is held captive, when her gag falls off, she warns him. After Kaine struggles with two of them, she bites her capture and flees with Kaine on motorbike. After Kaine struggles with two of them, she bites her captor and flees with Kaine on motorbike. Later on, she spots Meio who was impersonating a soldier. Shortly after this, a fight between the real soldiers against Meio and his subordinate ensued. The duo however escaped. Later, in the jeep, Ben Rooney explains that her brother being in Giganos is the fault of the higher ups who started this. He explains those who cry all the time will be considered weaklings.
Irritated by her emotional breakdown, Kaine follows her when she runs off and tells her to snap out of it. When she tries to fire a rocket launcher at Meio's rocket launcher, Kaine takes it from her and fires himself. Soon after this, Linda learns from Diane Lance that her father is alive, having learned it while they were heading to China. She later accompanies Kaine in a meeting with Meio Plato at a Japanese garden after finding a hidden message at a ramen shop. After a chunk of conversation between the two guys, Linda tried to intervene, but Meio points out that she didn't have a turn to talk nor did he ask her to come. After Meio protects Kaine from a kunai, they are confronted by assassins lead by Shinzu. She knocks over the tea kettle to trigger a smokescreen so she and Kaine can escape. While Meio dispatches one group of pursuers, they get cornered by two Metal Armors. Tapp however dispatched the mechs and Light helps the two escape thanks to a tracking device.
Soon after, Diane tells Linda has not abandoned his wife and children to build killing machines, but rather a man of bravery putting everyone ahead of himself. Dianne explains that he is the designer of the Dragonars. He left Giganos when the Marshal became a dictator. He joined the Earth military and handed the Dragonars over to the Earth military. He wanted to shatter the ambition of Giganos. Dianne then tells her that she will meet him safely in a few days. He ends up coming to the ship early due to the assassins pursuing him, though he leaves by helicopter after Linda receives the dress. When Ganan and his cronies were defeated, Rose and Linda join as generals to help the Dragonar pilots with Ben Rooney as their bodyguard.
Tapp expresses some shock that Linda's father would let her enter a lawless area dominated by someone like Gon Jem. En route, Linda tells Kaine that they would be reaching a small village. When Ben, who was driving her and Rose, reaches the village, he realizes something is wrong. When Rose left the vehicle, it led to Lee Sue Ming holding Linda and Ben at gunpoint. However, Rose manages to knock Zin out with a flower pot when his comrades leave. But recovers quickly enough to recapture Linda. Later when Kaine comes to the rescue, he is confronted by Zin. She then provokes a fight between Gol and Zin in order to escape.
Soon after Zelock's trio arrives, the Dragonar pilots are alerted by Linda that the Danlan base is being attacked and need help. However, the enemy trio manage to capture Tapp's Dragonar with him in it. When she hears about her brother being the supposed murderer of the marshal, she could not believe any of this. Soon after, she finds an unidentified flying object on the radar and relays this news to the Dragonar team. Later when she and Ben investigate, Genbladiss triggers a missile trap set by Gol, forcing the two to retreat. When Gol begins to stalk them, she promptly calls the Dragonar team to get them off her back. When Kaine tells her that he cannot win against Gon, she tells him there should be a way to turn the tables.
She and Linda then analyze the sword of Gon Jem's Metal Armor and learn its weakness with Linda informing Light and Tapp that in order to win against this tactic, they must deal sufficient damage to part of the sword. She later specifies to Kaine that the sword of Gon Jem's Metal Armor is made from a compound that can only withstand such a strong usage before the connectiveness will weaken. With this knowledge in mind, Kaine proceeds to break Gon Jem's sword.
