Lina

Background / History

Lina is a head maid of the Xiaxing House and the daughter of Great Knight Morey Sebastian, hailing from the distant eastern land of Rashemen 11 38. During Ye Wei'an's youth as an unfavored illegitimate son at Firefall Fortress, Lina was one of the few individuals who showed him genuine kindness, secretly bringing him pastries and smuggling books from the family library 11 37.

Four years before Ye Wei'an's return from Suzar Academy of Magic, Lina remained at the fortress, serving as head maid and faithfully maintaining his old room without a speck of dust 11 38. When Ye Wei'an returns to claim his inheritance and prepares to leave as a frontier lord, Lina readily agrees to join him without hesitation, rejecting pressure from Lady Selina and her son to marry elsewhere 38 39.

Upon joining his expedition, Lina rapidly transitions into the role of Chief Administrator, managing logistics, exposing supply corruption, overseeing refugee reconstruction, and coordinating administrative affairs 44 106 127. After unlocking the Bard class through Ye Wei'an's strengthening magic, she gains magical support abilities and serves as his primary advisor and secretary 58 59.
