appearance

--------------

Gender: Female

Race: Human. (Formally L’cie.)

Height: 171cm (5'7")

Weight: 128.5 lbs

Laterality: Right-handed.

Lightning is a young woman with wavy rose pink hair and pale aqua eyes. Serah says Lightning resembles their mother. Thought youthful, she retains a stoic appearance.

n Final Fantasy XIII, she wears a variation of the standard Guardian Corps uniform. The green metallic pauldron over her left shoulder bearing yellow stripes denotes her previous rank as a sergeant. She carries her gunblade in a black case which hangs off her belt, and wears a necklace with a lightning bolt pendant. Her l'Cie brand is located slightly above her left breast. She has a navel piercing, although it can be difficult to spot.

In Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning wears a silver and gold Valkyrie-like suit of armor with a shield on her left arm (though in her CG render it appears on the right arm). She has a new gunblade more closely resembling a traditional doubled-edged sword, which has Etro script on it. She no longer has the navel piercing she did in Final Fantasy XIII. This attire has come to be known as the Knight of Etro.

During Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning has a number of different costumes. Her default outfit, Equilibrium, is similar to what she wore in Final Fantasy XIII-2. The Night Lotus shield on her left arm and the Crimson Blitz sword in her right hand are in homage to her Eidolon Odin. The symbol from the game's logo appears on her outfit a number of times: on her chest, her sword and her shield.

Serah Farron: Sister; Alive.

Snow Villers: Brother-in-law; Alive

Unknown Father: Deceased

personality

-------------

Zodiac: Gemini

Lightning is determined, concentrated and independent. Initially, she is cold and standoffish, distancing herself from her companions. She only looks out for herself and doesn't care if others are left behind. Much of her motivation is fueled from what she perceives as failing to protect Serah leading her to lash out at those she believes are responsible for her fate: namely, the Sanctum, its fal'Cie and, to a point, Snow Villiers, due to his relationship with Serah and his failure to protect her as he promised. As she journeys with Hope Estheim, she acts as his mentor and surrogate mother figure. Taking him under her wing, Lightning becomes more emotionally open as Hope acts as a surrogate sibling and helps her see the errors in her approach and realize the mistakes she made with Serah. Lightning also begins to show compassion and trust others. Ultimately, she becomes the leader and, to a degree, protector of the other Gran Pulse l'Cie as they journey to challenge their fate.

In Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning has almost become a new woman due to the experiences and emotions she has endured. She has learned to trust others and ask them for help, and expresses her emotions rather than keeping them bottled up. Her recognition of her past "sins" has made her more somber.

In Lightning Returns, Lightning is initially cold and distant, most of her emotions sapped from her, although her memories remain intact. Her wish to save Serah remains, and she still shows concern for her former allies. Lightning and Hope demonstrate trust and care for one another, Hope promising to be by her side, helping Lightning better maintain her humanity despite her situation. She resents Bhunivelze for robbing her of her emotions and his use of her situation to his advantage.

As her quest advances, Lightning begins to show compassion toward others because of her assigned task to save their souls. Straying from her cold-hearted personality, she begins to encourage those struggling, implying Lightning unconsciously had given up her emotions, rather than Bhunivelze taking them with force, which is further suggested by Lumina. By the end of her quest, Lightning has come around from her self-imposed tough and emotionless warrior persona, as Serah and Lumina, along with all her experiences, help her realize that locking her heart away is how she threw away her happiness.

Lightning has a mischievous side, as she considered the idea of bonding with Serah through Moogle Throw as a sport.

story and past

--------------

{leading up to the events of final fantasy xiii}

Claire's father died when she was young, and her mother died from an unknown illness when she was fifteen. With no other family to turn to, Claire raised her younger sister, Serah. To overcome the pain of her parents' deaths and to become an adult as quickly as possible, she changed her name from Claire Farron to "Lightning". Despite the delusion of not needing her past, Lightning was a normal orphaned child who wanted to be loved.

After graduating from high school, Lightning joined the Guardian Corps Bodhum Security Regiment under Lieutenant Amodar, where she attained the rank of sergeant and was scheduled for officer training. However, she began to lose sight of her goals, and worked many hours while spending little time with Serah.

Nine days before Lightning's twenty-first birthday, the Bodhum monster-fighting group NORA rescues her from an aquatic ambush. Lightning meets Snow Villiers, their leader and Serah's boyfriend. Lightning remains unimpressed as she has never approved of NORA's vigilantism and unsuccessfully demands for him to stop dating Serah.

The next day, Lightning begins to regret her lack of attention to Serah, feeling she got involved with Snow to quell her loneliness. After seeing Nora Estheim and her son Hope in the mall, Lightning is inspired to plan a vacation away from Bodhum for her birthday to spend time with Serah and divert her attention from Snow. Four days later, the Cavalry is hunting down a girl named Vanille and Lightning meets with Rygdea, suspecting it may have something to do with the incident at Euride Gorge two days ago. While attending Bodhum's fireworks festival four days later, Lightning learns of a Pulse-related incident at the nearby Vestige being kept under wraps by the Sanctum, but Amodar warns her not to investigate.

"Worst birthday ever".

The next day, Lightning's birthday, Serah reveals she has been branded a Pulse l'Cie, and that she and Snow are engaged. Thinking Serah is lying to give herself an excuse to wed Snow, Lightning drives her away, leaving her alone to open her birthday present from Serah: a survival knife. When the Sanctum announces the quarantine of Bodhum after a Pulse fal'Cie was discovered within the Vestige, Lightning realizes Serah had been telling the truth.

After learning the Sanctum plans to Purge everyone in town to Pulse, Lightning tries to find Serah but Snow says she is being held captive inside the Vestige. The following day, PSICOM rounds up the people in Bodhum and lines them up to board Purge trains. Although military personnel are exempt, Lightning volunteers to be Purged with the civilians and resigns from the Guardian Corps to get into the Hanging Edge, where the Vestige is being moved, to rescue Serah before she is taken out of reach. Lightning is approached by a man named Sazh Katzroy, who joins her in her quest to reach the Pulse fal'Cie.

abilities

--------------

Lightning is a quick and agile fighter who wields gunblades in battle, although her new models in her follow-up appearances in Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII only operate in the blade form. In Final Fantasy XIII her primary roles are Commando, Ravager and Medic. She has balanced stats, and thus the player can gear her toward a physical or magical fighter via equipment as they see fit. She is versatile as she is fairly proficient in all Crystarium roles, but as a downside has low HP.

RP Rules, Regulations & FAQ’s

———————————————————————

General

I am an independent roleplayer.

I am AU friendly.

Central Time zone.

I do use icons and graphics, made by myself.

Multi-Ship.

No crossovers please, I’m strictly fandom based. OC’s welcomed.

——————

Ships? I WILL ONLY SHIP WITH YOU IF OUR CHARACTERS HAVE CHEMISTRY, I will never force my ships on anyone, I also expect the same from you as a fellow roleplayer. This blog is multi-ship.

Smut? Romance? Sure, why not, mun is of age. I’m all for it, but our muses must have chemistry.

—————-

If you wish to ask Light questions, please do so. If you are going to ask OOC questions regarding me, the admin, please specify.

Please treat Light as you would anyone else. She does have feelings and emotions, I do not tolerate hate or bullying.

I tend to be late on replies, so please just ask me politely to return and I will gladly do so.

As a mun, I’m very commutative with my followers with what I’m up to.

This blog is a stress relief, not my full-time job, I love writing and roleplaying as Light and I do have one other muse to keep up with.

I do like to plot, so if you want something specific in a starter and such, please let me know.

I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BLOCK ANYONE THAT MAKES ME, THE MUN, OR MY MUSE UNCOMFORTABLE.

Also, I can see if we are mutuals thanks to the handy new xkit, and after a week and I see we still aren’t mutuals, I MAY unfollow you. I just want to keep my dash full of people that interact with me and vice versa.

YOU CAN ALWAYS USE THE IM SYSTEM TO TALK TO ME, I PERSONALLY ENCOURAGE IT. I ALSO USE DISCORD OFTEN.

I like to know my writing partner. This isn’t always necessary, and if you’re not the sort of person who tries to get chummy with their roleplaying buddies, that’s absolutely fine, but in my experience, the plots and characters that last the longest are the ones with the players that I can message at 3 in the morning with an idea without feeling like I’m bothering them.

**If I see that you have liked one of my starter calls, that tells me that you would like a starter and I will be sending you an ask soon after I see the like. I do like to plot before roleplays, but if you don’t, that’s completely fine, like stated above, I don’t mind coming up with my own plot.**

I have more specifics on my canon Light and head-canons in the BIOGRAPHY section of this blog.

If you have any more questions, please ask.

+This is updated and added on to as I come up with or find things that need to be stated.+
