 Evade

**Linda** is one of The Heroes, she's one of the Children Of Morta and the musician of the Bergsons household. She is the daughter of John and Mary, and the eldest child.

## Codex

All of Linda's hopes and dreams in life manifest in one thing: music.

She spent her childhood in the Old Barahut, a place known for its vibrant celebrations and festivals. The first time they went to the grape festival, she became so mesmerized by the playing of a street fiddler that she forgot her mother Mary and younger brother Mark, and started following him through the throngs. As soon she realized that she had lost her family, she started crying so hard that the fiddler had to giver her his violin as a plaything to calm the young girl. By the time Mary found her, she had succeeded in playing her first piece. Surprised by her passion and her talent, the musician left the fiddle for her. A gift that started her on the path of becoming a musician.

On a different note, after the family left Barahut for their current home, her father John taught her a different kind of bow. She found a strange connection between archery and playing the violin, otherwise, as Margaret observed, she would never have picked up the former as well as the latter.

She loves her music so much that hardly an evening passes that the Bergsons are left unentertained by her tunes.

## Personality

Linda is a kind and gentle girl, yet strong and dutiful. As the the firstborn of John and Mary, she sees as her responsibility to fight the corruption alongside her father and protect her family.

Linda can always be found at her room, playing her violin or brushing her hair. She also often plays with her sister Lucy and their dog Ryker.

## Gameplay

Linda is a ranged attacker specialized with a bow. She excels at dealing damage from a safe distance, being very effective in co-op if the other player picks a frontline character to protect her.

### Pros

* Can move while firing her bow, at the cost of stamina.
* Great mobility, with high movement speed and Evade range.
* Arrows travel fullscreen, effectively allowing her to hit enemies offscreen.
* Explosive Crescendo provides a strong area-of-effect damage that can hit enemies from virtually any range.
* Harmonic Slam is a great crowd-control ability to use when enemies reach Linda in melee range.
* Can decimate bosses with her Guardian's Rage combined with Inner Rhythm.
* Can passively increase the movement speed of the other characters.

### Cons

* Low health.
* Completely draining her stamina prevents Linda from moving and shooting until her stamina bar is completely refilled.
* Her default Primary Attacks can only hit one enemy at time.
* Very fragile when surrounded by enemies, specially in enclosed spaces.
* Can have a hard time hitting faster enemies.
* Inner Rhythm is difficult to maintain in single player mode, as she is required to constant move to avoid enemies.

## Trivia

* During early development, Linda was planned to form a relationship with Joey.
	+ Reminiscents of this concept can still be found in the game, in moments where Joey talks to himself about Linda, implying his romantic feelings for her.
