The Basics

Personality: Outgoing and friendly, but also controlled and very introspective and reserved. She has a strong will and an able mind, but would never be found to raise her voice unless she had no other choice. She is a gentle spirit, serene, collected, her aura emanating comfort but also strength and protection. Her mature, responsible tendencies generally seem to attract those that are anything but, as was evidenced by her love, Shuyin, who’s elaborate and hastily thought-out plans would have brought world-wide destruction had she not been there to convince him to cease, merely with her presence.

She is a strong leader, determined, and thorough in her ability to think before acting, and finds herself often led to open her arms to those she can help, no matter the consequences to herself. She keeps her innermost thoughts completely private, and occasionally may come across as cold or arrogant, until she feels comfortable enough to open up. While this paints her rather darkly, she is anything but, and is predominantly a friendly, flirtatious, playful person by all appearances. She has found happiness in contentment.

Abilities and Weaponry: Being a summoner, Lenne possesses the ability to summon many aeons, but she has worked with some more than others, and their abilities will vary based on that. Though she can summon five aeons proficiently, she prefers Shiva (Ice element) and Ixion (Thunder element).

Shiva: Heavenly Strike – causes non-elemental damage and delays enemy
Diamond Dust-
Blizzard, Blizzara, Blizzaga

Ixion: Aerospark - Inflicts Non-elemental damage and negates effects such as Protect, Reflect, and Haste
Thor’s Hammer –
Thunder, Thundara, Thundaga

In addition to being a summoner, Lenne is also a fully capable songstress. She is proficient in myriad songs and dances that benefit her allies and cause much difficulty for her foes. Her portfolio includes:

Matador's Song --- Raises Party's evasion

Weaknesses: While toned, she is physically weak, her only fighting abilities drawn from her ability to summon other, more powerful beings to do her bidding. She is not without resource in close combat, but would be easily overpowered if alone.

Mentally, she can be prone to long bouts of near silence when inwardly disturbed or pensive. This can often alienate her from those around her, sending her into depression that would not easily be determined by mere observance: outwardly she would appear cold and unapproachable; inwardly, she is fighting a battle with herself to maintain her trained resolve. She is not accustomed to discussing any weaknesses or troubles she has with just anyone, as her life has been lived very publicly, and she has always carried the burdens of those who look up to and rely on her, leaving little time for her own.

History: Her home was the immense city of Zanarkand, technologically advanced without the aid of machine, relying on magics and other unknown means for its power and advancement. Born and raised there, she was a very famous Songstress, a performer with a trained voice, able to draw others into the feelings of the songs she performed. She was also a summoner in the armed forces, of sorts, of the city of Zanarkand. She took both professions very seriously, and was highly looked up to and loved by the people who knew her and looked to her for guidance. As a songstress she was of the most famous, and rightly so, for her talent was natural, and her heart open on stage alone, drawing all who heard her voice into her presence. As a summoner, she was respected and experienced, despite her young age, and was completely devoted to her responsibilities, fully knowing it could mean her death, and prepared for it.

When a rival city and civilization in Bevelle, a town built on machine (machina as it was called), declared war, Lenne was called into battle, willingly, as it was her sworn duty. Her lover, Shuyin, a famous athlete, was impulsive and her counterpart in personality. Knowing that his love would surely die if she went in to battle, he sought out to hijack Bevelle’s most secret and dangerous weapon, Vegnagun, to destroy everything in its path, Bevelle and Zanarkand, and end the battle. But Lenne, in her wisdom, sought after him and was able to stop him before he completed taking control of the machine. This led to their inevitable doom, tragically. While trying to escape the very heart of Bevelle, they were gunned down by the soldiers before the monstrous weapon, given mere seconds to look to each other, Shuyin in regret and anger, and Lenne in calm acceptance.

After that is muchly a blur. Fleeting memories of hundreds of years of… death? Part of her soul still living, trapped and traveling, all the while separated as far as can be from the man she loved, the only person who truly knew her. There is no resting in peace just yet.
