Background
Lina was born into a small Forest Elf tribe in the Makalu Mountain Range. Her tribe offered her to the Frost Dragon Okov as tribute at birth, and she grew up near his lair rather than among her own people. When Okov later freed her tribe, the Forest Elves still rejected her as the dragon's agent, leaving her to return to the lair alone 159.
Okov ordered Lina to hatch the last intact Frost Dragon egg, promising freedom for both her and her tribe if she succeeded and death if she failed. She spent five years attempting to incubate it, including boiling it in water, before it finally cracked. Lina then awaited the birth of the hatchling Chris—Adam's possessed Frost Dragon body—with food and cloth prepared for him 156 157.
After the egg hatched, Okov freed Lina and her tribe but ordered her to continue serving Chris. Lina became attached to the young dragon and feared for his safety when he planned to leave Makalu 157.
When Adam departed the mountain range, Lina followed because she believed herself to be his slave. Adam used Devil to bind her through a stringent Master-Servant Contract, making her life and consciousness subject to his control, then ordered her to lead him to her tribe 158.
Appearance
Following her Bloodline Upgrade, Lina is associated with emerald-green energy, rapidly blooming flowers, and living vegetation that responds to her presence 166 167.
- Emerald-green eyes — associated with her awakened plant power 167.
- Flower-woven clothing — can grow flowers around her body into clothing; the garments wither and darken with her emotional state 167 168.
- Transformation (N) — takes on a flower-like form whose clothing possesses defensive properties 187.
Personality
Lina initially lived in fear: first of Okov's demand that she hatch the egg, then of Adam's overwhelming power. Despite this, she was patient and resourceful during the five-year incubation, and she showed genuine concern for Chris after his birth 156 157.
Her Bloodline Upgrade and command over her kin transformed her priorities. She became increasingly focused on retaining power and preserving her own life, abandoning an earlier wish to expose Adam to the Dragon Slaying Organization. She recognized that death would mean losing the authority and security she had gained 169.
Lina can be ruthless toward her own people. She enforced Adam's orders with Soul Lash punishment, demanded that her tribesmen address her as “Master,” and eventually killed her father when he could no longer further her advancement 165 168. Nevertheless, her fear of Adam remains central to her actions, even after she gains status as an Emissary and clan leader 184.
Abilities & Skills
Nature Control
Lina's Bloodline Upgrade grants her command over nearby plant life.
- Can accelerate plant growth, halt it, or cause plants to die 167.
- Can alter plants' physical properties, including toughness, softness, and toxicity 167.
- Can use plants as extensions of her senses and body, describing vegetation across the tribe as potential “clones” that serve as her eyes, hands, and feet 167.
- Can draw stored energy from surrounding vegetation to restore herself 167.
- Her abilities are restricted in energy systems incompatible with Forest Elf power; in the Qianyuan Realm, she could initially rely only on her innate Talent to control plants 366.
Nature Guardian
Lina can animate shrubs into Treemen-like protectors.
- Fires green energy into a plant to reshape its roots and branches into limbs 167.
- The resulting Nature Guardian acts as a personal guard 167.
Life Energy
After advancing to Level Five, Lina's plant energy becomes life energy.
- Can suppress demonic qi, though it cannot directly oppose it 443.
- Can integrate the power of her Forest Elf kin into herself 443.
- Can create towering plants that impale enemies, drain their vitality, and release it 443.
Contract Authority
Adam taught Lina the means to bind her tribesmen through Master-Servant Contracts.
- Can sense the thoughts of Forest Elves bound beneath her 165.
- Can punish contracted subordinates with Soul Lash 165.
- Initially struggled with contract overload and could bind only a little over half of her tribe 163.
- Her own contract was later migrated from Devil to Adam through a Mage World master-servant and summoning contract system 215.
Reconnaissance, Infiltration, and Cultivation
- Organized Forest Elf patrols to monitor strangers entering the Makalu Mountain Range 165.
- Gathered terrain and force-distribution information for Adam, though she initially lacked map-reading and geographical knowledge 169 170.
- Infiltrated the Dragon Slaying Organization, became an Emissary, and commanded nearly forty Nature Controllers while gathering intelligence 182 184.
- Improved the reproduction and energy-block output of Conversion Fungi for Adam 257.
Equipment / Items
- Seeds — used to rapidly grow vines for transport, restraint, punishment, and attacks 161 168.
- Magic-Guide Construct — a Rune Array-equipped construct made for her by Adam in the Titan Plane 259.
Relationships
- Adam — Master and contract holder. He transformed Lina into a Soul Slave, enhanced her Bloodline and Talents, and used her as an intelligence asset and leader of the Forest Elves 158 187 211 215.
- Okov — Former Frost Dragon master. He ordered Lina to hatch the dragon egg, later freed her and her tribe, and assigned her to serve Chris 156 157.
- Chris / Adam's Frost Dragon body — Lina acted as the hatchling's caretaker and worried when he planned to leave Makalu Mountain Range 157.
- Lina's father, the Forest Elf Patriarch — Estranged father who treated her as a traitor after the tribe had offered her to Okov. Lina ultimately killed him after deciding his Bloodline could no longer advance her 159 161 168.
- Devil — Adam's servant and the original intermediary for Lina's Master-Servant Contract. Devil's contract with Lina was released before her contract was transferred to Adam 158 215.
- Kambi — One of Lina's Forest Elf subordinates; his soul was connected to hers during her infiltration of the Dragon Slaying Organization 182.

Adam's First Forest Elf Asset

Bloodline Experimentation
Lina leads the Forest Elves through Adam's Bloodline Purification process, then endures a dangerous transfusion herself. Her survival creates the first Nature Controller and gives Adam a powerful means of reconnaissance and local control 165 166 167.
Rise as a Clan Leader
As her power grows, Lina suppresses dissent within her tribe, directs further Bloodline experiments, and kills her father. Her desire for advancement replaces her earlier wish for revenge against Adam 168 169.
Dragon Slaying Organization Infiltration
Lina enters the Dragon Slaying Organization, gathers Forest Elves under her command, kills an Emissary at the cost of twenty-one Nature Controllers, and is subsequently appointed an Emissary herself. She delivers a Frost Dragon cub and the Extraction Technique to Adam 182 184.
Collapse of the Dragon Plane
Lina warns Adam after an Emissary nearly kills her, later identifies Adam after he returns in his Mage form, and betrays the resistance organization to assist his capture operation. Following the Mage World's victory, she becomes leader of the surviving Forest Elf Clan 191 201 211 212.
Service Beyond the Dragon Plane
In the Mage World and later planes, Lina continues serving Adam as leader of his remaining Forest Elves. She improves Conversion Fungi in the Titan Plane, assists with reconnaissance in the Qianyuan Realm, and leads Forest Elf life-energy attacks against demon creatures in Shanti 257 366 443.
