Lina Lagenmorph

Lina Lagenmorph is an Antagonist in Monument 14: Brambly Boundaries. Lina is a clerk for the Coral Reef Department store as well as a hired on bodyguard for Himawari Kazami, becoming a Black Knight in the process.

Lina, being one of the more inconspicuous members of the Black Knights is sent to hinder the Protagonists several times but is mostly delegated to protecting Miss Kazami.

## Appearance

Lina is an attractive woman, standing on the taller side at 176cm with red eyes. Her hair is long and Lavender coloured which is worn straight, she normally wears her work attire of black pants, black blazer and a white undershirt with a small golden pin that resembles a '1' in her breast pocket.

Lina wears similar clothing outside of work, but is never seen in more casual clothes owing to her 'not bothering' to take off her work clothes after her shift at the Department Store ends because she believes that so long as she is on Miss Kazami's payroll she's 'never off the clock.'.

## Personality

Lina presents an attitude of boredom and above-it-all-ness to most situations, casually and usually smugly observing things rather than involving herself in them. She is only ever seen interacting with enemies and co-workers despite claims that she has other friends. Lina, despite her attitudes tends to follow orders, becoming alert and even nervous at times around certain co-workers.

When it comes to enemies, Lina can become extremely flirtatious with females and maintains a playful sadism when using her power in positions of control. She seems to do the latter in order to get a rise out of her foes though as she seems genuinely disgusted at extended torture or bodily mutilation, opting to ignore it or end it when possible.

Lina isn't seen with a significant other or even friends but the protagonists do meet one of Lina's friends who describe her as being reserved but known to act coy and even playful at times.

## Uno Song

Uno Song is Lina's Contract, like others in Monument 14, it is a naturally occurring power with a non-existent control ratio. Uno Song manifests itself as a Jellyfish-shaped creature of medium size with a truncated top. Its tendrils alternate between being entirely black and entirely white with a metallic shine, shaped like Shide. The Number 1 is emblazoned atop Uno Song in a white circle like a pool ball.

Uno Song's ability is a form of equivalent exchange in which it can turn a number of two things into one thing, for example, removing somebody's eye during its effect so that they only have one eye.

Uno Song works by having Lina remove a number of items on her person or body parts, through Uno Song's ability until there is only one of said item, in order to temporarily remove a pair of things she can see into one thing. Once the items on Lina's person are removed, they are considered erased from existence however other things that Uno Song removes can be returned by her decision or if she can no longer maintain sight of the altered being.

As seen when fighting the protagonists, Lina can target what will be removed from a pair of objects such as when she chose to remove the arm holding the Pistol aimed at her or removing the door she ran through from a pair of double doors, filling the space with solid wall. Lina carries a variety of small, inexpensive objects on her person such as ball bearings or candies to use her ability numerous times.

## Trivia

* Lina's Contract, Uno Song is a reference to the song of the same name by sElf from the 'Breakfast with Girls' album.
* Lina refers to Uno Song's lyrics in her first fight against the Protagonists;
* *"I suppose if I ever checked around, I might be surprised at what I find. But unlucky for you, I won't be doing that."*
* *"Have you ever been in love? And was it a good one? I can't speak for myself, I never seem to get it, what the other person wants that is. I can't trust them, not as far as I throw."*
* *"Sorry sweetheart, but you're only good for one roll in the hay."*
* Uno Song's lyrics largely relate to being unlucky in love and as a result having trust issues and being alone, fitting characteristics for Lina who seems to show issue with reciprocating or displaying intimacy.
