is a fictional character and the primary protagonist and the only character that appears in all incarnations of the comic fantasy themed light novel, manga and anime series ''Slayers'', where she is a young adventurer and very powerful sorceress travelling the world. In the original Japanese version of the series, Lina has been consistently voiced by Megumi Hayashibara. In the English version of the TV series produced by Central Park Media and Funimation Entertainment, Lina has been voiced by Lisa Ortiz. In the English version of the films and OVAs produced by ADV Films, Lina has been voiced by Cynthia Martinez. ==Character== Lina was born in the fictional village of Zephilia. Her older sister, the Knight of Cepheid Luna Inverse, was the darling of both her parents and the town, excelling in martial studies and quickly beginning to make a name for herself. Although Lina has faced down dragons, monsters, and even dark lords with little fear, the mere mention of Luna's name sends her into terrified hysterics. When Lina was a child, she sold pictures of Luna naked in order to earn money and, in turn, Luna punished Lina so severely that Lina has feared her ever since.〔''Slayers Revolution'', episode 8.〕 Lina has many different nicknames, including "Bandit Killer" and "Dragon Spooker," neither of which she likes. To her, her most embarrassing nickname is "Lina the Pink", which is her official title amongst the sorcerer's guild.〔''Slayers The Ruby Eye'' by Hajime Kanzaka, chapter 2.〕 In the prequel stories, Lina meets a self-proclaimed rival sorceress known as Naga the Serpent, whom she travels with. During that time, Lina earns her reputation of someone who tracks bandits and thieves and steals their ill-gotten gains for their own use. At the beginning of the main series, Lina meets a swordsman named Gourry Gabriev and a chimera named Zelgadis Greywords. Lina encounters and destroys a part of the Mazoku Lord Shabranigdo with her Giga Slave technique. She later befriends a princess named Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun and the priestess Sylphiel Nels Lahda. She later meets a mysterious priest Xellos and gets caught between Chaos Dragon Gaav and Hellmaster Phibrizzo. In the anime-exclusive series ''Slayers TRY'', Lina is recruited by the dragoness Filia Ul Copt to save the world. In ''Slayers REVOLUTION'', Lina gets arrested on false pretense which later comes leading her on a journey against another incarnation of the Demon Beast Zannafar. She also meets an odd little creature named Pokota, who also has the ability to use the Dragon Slave. Although she is an adolescent, she is an extremely powerful sorceress, with a great love for money, treasure (especially the magical sort), and food. In the anime and manga (but not the light novel), Lina recklessly (but comically) uses overly destructive magic, often with little provocation. She is reputed to be an evil, powerful, destructive, diminutive sorceress. Lina's accomplishments include the destruction of a piece of Shabranigdo and having a hand in the destruction of Flaredragon Gaav and Hellmaster Phibrizzo, as well as kicking out Darkstar from their world. Due to these accomplishments, she is increasingly piquing the interest of the Mazoku race and has become a frequent target. Lina and Gourry have traveled with each other ever since, and they have been featured in every form of ''Slayers'' media that takes place in the timeline after they meet. Lina appears to fall in love with Gourry, once even risking the destruction of the universe in order to save him.〔''Slayers NEXT'', episode 26.〕 There is a distinct lack of romantic development in the series, even after it is affirmed that Lina and Gourry love each other. Hajime Kanzaka, the creator of the original novels, addressed this by jokingly stating that he is not adept in writing romantic scenes. The final climax of ''Slayers NEXT'', the second season of the ''Slayers'' TV series, the two characters share a kiss, though they cannot later recall the incident. However, both Gourry and Lina remember that something important had happened between them. In any media taking place after the two met, they have been featured together and should they ever get separated, are never apart for too long. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lina Inverse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
