## Profile

### Background

Linne. is an immortal being who wishes to end her cycle of reincarnation.
Linne has long been searching for a legendary sword known as the "Indulgence of Insulation" to end her eternal life. Quick-minded and stoic, Linne is someone who works well at her job and is focused on her goals, not letting her emotions get in her way. She is always accompanied by her pet Kuu.

### Appearance

Linne's current appearance is that of a young girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a yellow hoodie over a black shirt that goes up her neck, black spandex shorts and black zipper boots up to calf-length. Her clothing can change depending on what color palette the player chooses. For example, she'll wear thigh-high stockings, spandex pants or just nothing but the hoodie.

Linne's first incarnation had very long, brown hair and wore a white robe.

### Personality

Linne is a stoic, aloof, and independent girl who tends to try resolving matters on her own regardless of how dangerous the situation is.

Underneath, she possesses immense guilt over how, because of her ability, she has destroyed the lives of countless innocent girls, believing that only her absolute death can cease this endless cycle. Even though Hyde possesses the means to give her a true death, she feels even more guilt on how she must ask him to bear the burden of killing her on his conscience.

Linne's stoic shell can also sometimes be broken under certain means. Perverse gestures can quickly anger her and she is easily swayed by food, especially candy and other sweet confectioneries, which is the result of the more childlike tendencies of her body taking effect.

## Abilities

Linne can wield the EXS of Agility (疾駆のEXS): Speed Star (スピードスター), which, naturally, gives a massive boost to her agility. Interestingly, the ability actually belongs to the body which Linne is currently possessing, meaning that Linne has most likely used other abilities in the past. It is a fairly average ability, which only boosts body functions. Linne also likes to mention her ability name often to evade suspicions of actually being the Princess of the Night Blade.

Linne fights using a combination of a long sword and a folding knife. The long sword is called No Name (無銘), a dull grey sword with a brown hilt and wrappings which has almost no sharp edges, leaving it nearly completely blunt. It was forged by Linne herself a long time ago, having received tutorage from Waldstein, who is known for his knowledge on weapon smithing. Linne hasn't thought up of a name for the sword yet, hence the sword's current "name".

The folding knife she uses is a regular knife that can be sold in an ordinary store. It's referred to as Nameless (名無), simply because Linne has yet to give the knife a name. Linne chose to use a knife because it's light and easy to use in tandem with her small physique.

Most of Linne's combat prowess comes from her years of experience and good gut feeling. She can read her opponent like a book and disorientate them with dodges and other evasive maneuvers, and slowly whittle them down. In order to make the most of her ability, she only uses the two weapons she has on her and nothing else. Linne also states that she likes to yell out the name of her attacks during a fight as it supposedly helps her bring out as much power as possible from her small body.

During some of her most strongest moves, Linne channels some of the power contained within the Seal engraved within her soul. This power envelops her blades with a bright light. Linne can either use her weapons in tandem with this, or she can merge them into one blade.
