Linne has long been searching for a legendary sword known as the "Indulgence of Insulation" to end her eternal life. Quick-minded and stoic, Linne is someone who works well at her job and is focused on her goals, not letting her emotions get in her way. She is always accompanied by her pet Kuu.

Linne's current appearance is that of a young girl with short brown hair and brown eyes. She wears a yellow hoodie over a black shirt that goes up her neck, black spandex shorts and black zipper boots up to calf-length.

Linne is a stoic, aloof, and independent girl who tends to try resolving matters on her own regardless of how dangerous the situation is.

Underneath, she possesses immense guilt over how, because of her ability, she has destroyed the lives of countless innocent girls, believing that only her absolute death can cease this endless cycle. Even though Hyde possesses the means to give her a true death, she feels even more guilt on how she must ask him to bear the burden of killing her on his conscience.

Linne's stoic shell can also sometimes be broken under certain means. Perverse gestures can quickly anger her and she is easily swayed by food, especially candy and other sweet confectioneries, which is the result of the more childlike tendencies of her body taking effect.

Hundreds of years ago, Linne and her brother Kuon were used in the Night Blade's human experiment to create new abilities. As a result Linne gained a power to transfer her consciousness from a body to another - making it possible for her to live eternally. In addition, if her host body gets killed then Linne's consciousness is automatically transferred to a new body. This is how she has lived her life for several tens of bodies.

Linne didn't want to continue possessing and ruining the lives of unknown girls, so she searched for a way to end her eternal life. The answer Linne found was that a legendary sword called the Indulgence of Insulation could rend her existence apart and end the curse she is bound to.

She is often seen with the former Litch Kreis member now bodyguard Waldstein in most parts through her reincarnated life. She soon met a high school boy named Hyde Kido, who saved her from a common thug and mistook Linne for a boy at first. When she noticed Voids chasing after Hyde who is late home from school, Linne saved him from the Voids as part of her debt to him, resulting his EXS Ability as an In-Birth awakening, which happened to be the Indulgence Weapon that is capable of ending her life and thus preventing her from continuing to possess more host bodies and ruining their lives, but not before training him to stop the Hollow Nights and discover Kuon's mysterious intentions.

Linne wields the EXS of Agility: Speed Star, which, naturally, gives a massive boost to her agility. Interestingly, the ability actually belongs to the body which Linne is currently possessing, meaning that Linne has most likely used other abilities in the past. It is a fairly average ability, which only boosts body functions. Linne also likes to mention her ability name often to evade suspicions of actually being the Princess of the Night Blade.

Linne fights using a combination of an one-handed sword and a pocketknife or side-opening switchblade. The sword is called No Name, a dull grey sword with a brown hilt and wrappings which has almost no sharp edges, leaving it nearly completely blunt. It was forged by Linne herself a long time ago, having received tutorage from Waldstein, who is known for his knowledge on weapon smithing. Linne hasn't thought up of a name for the sword yet, hence the sword's current "name".

The knife she uses is a regular knife that can be sold in an ordinary store. It's referred to as Nameless, simply because Linne has yet to give the knife a name. Linne chose to use a knife because it's light and easy to use in tandem with her small physique.

Most of Linne's combat prowess comes from her years of experience and good gut feeling. She can read her opponent like a book and disorientate them with dodges and other evasive maneuvers, and slowly whittle them down. In order to make the most of her ability, she only uses the two weapons she has on her and nothing else. Linne also states that she likes to yell out the name of her attacks during a fight as it supposedly helps her bring out as much power as possible from her small body.

During some of her most strongest moves, Linne channels some of the power contained within the Seal engraved within her soul. This power envelops her blades with a bright light. Linne can either use her weapons in tandem with this, or she can merge them into one blade.

Kuu:

Kuu is Linne's little pet dragon. Kuu is a small creature who resembles a cross between a Void and a dragon. He accompanies Linne everywhere she goes. He has grey skin with a pink-colored Curse Commandment and has a white underside. He wears a leather strap around his neck, possibly meant as a collar. Kuu is a Void tamed through a special master-slave system. He has been assigned by Kuon to keep an eye on Linne's actions. After all, she is a very important subject to bear Secret Arts. Originally, Kuon gave the Void a name "Kubiki", meaning "yoke", which is a very literal interpretation of what Kuu was - the means to keep monitoring Linne's action and ensure she can't escape from her curse, something Linne is unaware of. Kuu's basic functions are no different from a regular Void. Kuu has a Curse Commandment pattern on his body, so he uses FLS as his power source. However, whether Kuu has any unique abilities or not remains unknown.
