Linda is the excitable, gregarious, Guardian of Life in Universe 16. After losing her husband and brother-in-law, she longs to protect all innocent life.
== History ==
=== Kinda Blood Brothers ===
==== Kinda Blood Brothers - 1980s ====
Linda regularly played with her best friend, Mickey, in a way that would attract unwanted attention (the police). This behaviour got Mickey and Eddie arrested.
==== Kinda Blood Brothers - 1990s ====
Having moved to Skelmersdale, Mickey proposed to Linda, who accepted. On their honeymoon, Mickey disappeared. Believing Mickey to be dead, Linda had an affair with Eddie. Linda later found out that Mickey was alive and working with criminals and gathered Mrs Johnstone, Mrs Lyons and Policeman. They tracked down Mickey to the Rich People Meeting, where Mickey was killed for shooting Edward.
==== Red & Black ====
Linda was mourning Mickey and Edward's death until she fiound the Life Staff. After trial and error, she opened a portal and met Macduff. The two traveled through space and time together and eventually came across Carlson, who awakened Linda as the Guardian of Life. Almost immediately, a Paris fountain erupted and the three faced a trio of Shadow Monsters. Linda took on a Shadow Monster resembling her father-in-law, Mr Johnstone.

== Trivia ==
* Linda's outfit happens to resemble the Synth Star skin from Fortnite. I genuinely did not mean to do this! (even the shapes on the shirt are the same??)
* Linda's robe (purple) is the contrasting colour of her Universe 23 equivalent, Reverend Jade (yellow)
* Linda's hair is dyed purple to make it more interesting when it goes in her eyes.
