Lightning Picture

Final Fantasy XIII

Playable Character

Lightning is scheduled to be the main character of Final Fantasy XIII, but apparently Lightning isn't her real name. "Lightning" is but a mask and is the code name she goes by to keep her true identity off the records. This ties in with her character, as is a very stoic individual and is also extremely independent.

Given that she is a warrior of sorts, it is unsurprising to know that Lightning also is physically fit and extremely acrobatic. However, she is also very strong mentally too and doesn't let her emotions effect her judgement. She is affiliated with an unknown organisation and her rank is displayed on her left shoulder.


The Chosen One

Lightning is believed to be "the chosen one" and it is believed that she will be able to take down the tyrannical civilization known as Cocoon. However, some people believe that her arrival is a bad omen and treat her with caution.

It is claimed that she has been summoned by the Crystals to bring about the "End of the World", which could be interpreted in numerous ways. For this reason, it is presumed that Lightning is a l'Cie.


Lightning's Abilities

Lightning also possesses an affinity with Gravity. Using small imprints in her fingers, she is able to manipulate Gravity so that she can undertake prolonged jumps and even use it against enemies.

Lightning also uses a Gunblade which can switch between a gun and a sword.
