Background / History

Lynette is Lyney's younger sister and a member of the House of the Hearth. She regularly feeds stray cats, which leads to her first encounter with Wu Wanghai when she intervenes after he grabs a frightened white cat. She takes the animal into her care and states that it does not want to go home with him. 13 14

Wu Wanghai recognizes her as Lyney's assistant and “Father's child,” prompting Lynette to realize that the outsider knows more about her and her organization than expected. When he asks her to accompany him to Lumidouce Harbor, she initially attempts to avoid involvement, entering a motionless “standby mode.” He then reveals Furina's identity and pressures Lynette into joining the expedition. 14

After Wu Wanghai offers 200,000 Mora for assistance fighting monsters, Lynette accepts the work and calls him “boss.” She offers additional days of help without charge, considering the pay excessive for the assignment. 16

Appearance

Lynette is a humanoid cat girl with cat ears and a tail.

• Cat ears and a cat tail 13
• An enormous green bow tied behind her 13
• Usually carries a sword in combat 16 17
• Wears black stockings 14
• Has mismatched eyes, like the white cat she protects 13

Personality

Lynette is habitually quiet, expressionless, and difficult to provoke. She dismisses Wu Wanghai's first joke with a flat “In your dreams,” and repeatedly tries to reduce her presence or enter “standby mode” when he becomes troublesome. 14

Despite her reserved demeanor, she is considerate toward animals and attentive to potentially important information. She protects the white cat from Wu Wanghai, listens closely to his account of Khaenri'ah, and silently memorizes details she may later ask Father about. 14 15

She is also practical about money. The payment Wu Wanghai offers for monster farming quickly persuades her to take the job, though she later feels the amount was overly generous. 16
