Previous Game History: I'll be bringing her from
While her time on the island left her core personality unchanged, there are some definite changes to her more surface-level personality. For one, the island instilled in her a sense of 'bad things are happening to us and we're literally stuck here with no way to fix them', the way Kernos (Exitvoid's NPC team) toyed with various horror events. That being said, she's a bit more pent-up and tense than canon left her, and she's carrying a bit more helpless frustration. On top of that, she's come to be somewhat more accustomed to such horror concepts as the undead or various other bodily horrors. After the island, she's entirely too familiar with a situation with limited mobility and an omnipresent individual or group working to make their lives hell.
Meanwhile, to keep from going insane with inactivity, she took it upon herself and Hope to keep an eye on the island's farm, and she took the horses out on the beach pretty regularly. As such, she's a bit more animal-inclined than she was in canon, just by habit.
With the time she's spent away from home, she's not quite as accustomed to being around the whole group as she once was, nor is she as close to Snow, Sazh, Fang, and Vanille as they recall her being, though if they show up that's bound to change. Hope, however, was with her throughout her time on the island, and her primary goal ended up being to keep him safe. This didn't end nearly as well as she planned a lot of the time, but he didn't end up dead, and that's what's important.
A bit of new CR developed in Exitvoid, but only a couple of them were significant enough to mention here, those being:
LEON KENNEDY, from Resident Evil. They met by angsting all over one another in the barn, and proceeded to fight together for the next few months and occasionally almost talk. They really didn't technically know each other all that well, but if she'd needed someone to protect Hope for her, it would've been Leon that she would've asked, and that says something. He's one of the few people she doesn't see as somewhat (or entirely) incompetent, and he's reserved enough without being a solid brick wall that he's kind of refreshing to converse with. She'll be glad to see him here in Haven.
DRACO MALFOY, from Harry Potter. God, I don't even know how, but they ended up being fairly decent friends. She was even going to teach him to fight without having to rely on his wand, but then the island went all to hell and he disappeared before she had the chance.
Personality: (I am so sorry for this, Blue.)
Lightning Farron is conflict. Her interactions with others, her innermost thoughts and emotions, and even her personality traits. She's both silent and raging, gentle and harsh, proud and humble, depending entirely on who you are and how she's feeling at the time.
To a stranger, or even someone she knows but doesn't respect, she's off-puttingly independent. She doesn't need you, and doesn't put the slightest effort into pretending otherwise. (In the beginning of the game, she and Sazh are behind a rock surveying the enemy. He's voicing his concerns, saying they probably should hold off, but right in the middle of what he's saying she runs off to fight them. That's not even the first time she's done that to him, even so early.) You can travel with her for three game-chapters and she's still A-OK leaving you behind because you're tired and she doesn't want to stop. ('They'll catch up eventually,' were her exact words to Hope.) In conjunction with the above: In most aspects, she's very confident. For the most part, I'm referring to confidence in her abilities, her skills as a fighter and a tactician. This spans from monsters (the first monster she and Sazh have to fight, Sazh cowers, but Light says 'Watch and learn,' and kills it without batting an eyelash) to soldiers/other humans or l'Cie (they're surrounded and disarmed by PSICOM soldiers, and she's totally unconcerned. She backtalks them casually, then disarms one and takes out four or five more. Another example is in the flashback to when she volunteered for the Purge train. Sazh had asked why, because she didn't seem ready to go quiet. She said, "You want quiet? You'd better take the next train."). Adding to 'confident' and 'independent', she's also very, very determined. When she sets her mind on something, she does it. (To Hope: "It's not a question of 'can' or 'can't'. There are some things in life you just do.") Because of her determination, she goes for the biggest available target at all times, be it a massive beast or the capital city Eden's fal'Cie. Her determination is even strong enough to counteract her quick temper, a lot of the time. If she has a choice between sit there and be pissed and progress toward her goal, she'll drop it and progress.
As I just mentioned, that's another thing: Light has a very quick temper. It's funny, because she's normally so calm and collected that when she does rage, it's that much more powerful. For smaller things, she just gets aggravated (After Sazh messes up her anti-gravity boot things, activated by snapping apparently, she only snaps her fingers twice to try and turn them on before letting out an aggravated ‘Tch’ and turning away.), but for more controversial topics, she goes so far as physical violence in her rage. The touchiest subject is her sister, Serah. (I'll talk more about Serah later, but there'll be some bits and pieces here.) Most of it's directed toward Snow, who gets punched numerous times throughout the game in reference to Serah, but even Sazh is on the receiving end once or twice (Sazh was saying early on how there’s gonna be no way to save Serah even if they do find her, and he’s sounding even remotely sympathetic. But he says kinda that she should kill her for her own good. Light, shoving him, rages: "Just say it! Any l’Cie, anyone who might ever become a l’Cie should be wiped off the face of Cocoon! … It’s people like you that created the purge to begin with.")
Lightning's also a very proud individual. In the few scenes where the ground's shaking or the enemy's passing close overhead, and everyone else is cowering or on one knee, Lightning's always the one who's still standing and ready. Her pride almost hits a point of desperation, when she's telling the others about her choice to go against their focus and fight the Cocoon fal'Cie. It's summed up by her close-to-opening statement: "I will not die a fal'Cie slave!" (Even knowing refusing her focus means becoming a Cie'th, she argues, "Our focus doesn't matter! I don't. Take. Orders. From fal'Cie! How I live is up to me." But the tone of voice she has in that scene is a bit hard to describe... It's like she's fighting to be able to choose how she lives, not fighting to prove that she does choose. Like she's saying all that to make it true. If that even makes sense?)
Her sense of humor--yes, she has one, shut up--is very dry. (Example 1: They're facing an enemy, Sazh says, "They want to fight." Light replies, "Good for them." Example 2: They run into a Sanctum fal'Cie, one responsible for providing food. They consider killing it. Light says, "So… kill him and cut off the food supply. That'll make us popular." Final Example: Someone in later cutscenes says to her, "You're dead." Her reply? "You first." And she kills the dude.)
Lightning is very hard on others, even those she cares about. She's very good at telling someone what's wrong with someone in the bluntest words possible and leaving them at loss for what to say. She does this to Snow in canon, a speech that ends with, "Snow? You're all talk." Which is kinda the biggest insult she could give him at the time. (Pardon this for being an RP example rather than canon, but this thread is a slightly lesser example of that same tendency.) On the journey, she's hard on each of them at times. Take Sazh, for example. (They'd been walking for quite a while, and most of them were exhausted. Sazh and Vanille and Hope want to rest but Light's walking off. Sazh says, "What, no break?" Light: "They’re tracking us." Sazh: "I know that. I know that, but we aren’t soldiers. We don’t have your kind of stamina." Light sharply replies, "You’ve got enough to complain." And walks off.) Or Hope. (Sometime after she and Hope start to kinda bond, when it's just the two of them: She and Hope come upon soldiers on the ground. Hope wants to help them, and reaches for one. Light grabs his shoulder and launches him back on his ass. "Control your emotions! If you want to survive, you forget about sympathy." Hope was sufficiently silenced.) She's even hard on Serah, the sister she loves more than anyone in the world. (At Light's 21st birthday party thing, Serah admits that a: she's a l'Cie, and b: she's engaged to Snow. Light's furious. She says, "You became a l’Cie, so now you’re going to marry this idiot? And you think I’m going to buy that? Full points for originality. But don’t forget: If you really are a l’Cie, it’s my job to take care of you." She can tell Serah was affected by that but doesn’t seem to care. "This is ridiculous. Worst birthday ever." And turns away with her arms crossed. In her defense, it never occurred to her that the l'Cie thing could be true, but still.)
More than anyone else, though, Lightning's hard on herself. Especially over not believing Serah about being a l'Cie. She openly blames Snow for losing Serah, but inwardly really blames herself. He just becomes the punching bag to vent it on. Not that she doesn't blame him some, but I'll talk about that later. Either way, Light is absolutely a big bag of regret over how harshly she pushed Serah away at the birthday party. (Sazh asks early on if Light knew what Serah's focus was. Light said, softly and with her head bowed, "I didn't ask." Later, Vanille asks if Serah said anything about her focus. Light says, "Nothing." Vanille says, "Maybe she just… didn't want to worry you!" Light says, quietly again, "Or maybe she just didn’t trust me." And walks away.)
Lightning's got two different crises-responses: One for a crisis she can handle, and one for a crisis she can't.
For the ones she can handle, she's generally got a very level head. It may seem like she rushes right into battle, but you'll always see her wait at least a few seconds first (unlike Snow, who charges right in) in order to form some sort of a strategy. She'll observe the enemy, even if it's just briefly. No enemy is too large for Lightning, even if it is. She doesn't hesitate, doesn't falter, doesn't show fear. She's got it under control, and she knows it and makes it known. For this reason, actually, people seem to follow her. It's because she's a perfect mix of independent, determined, and confident, and people feel like they can look to her for leadership. How else would she have a party to travel with, despite how often she blatantly walks off on her own?
Then, there are the crises she can't handle. Being a l'Cie is one of them, quite possibly coupled with losing Serah to crystal. When the problem before her is one that even Lightning sees no way to climb over, she defaults to battle. She says so herself, in canon... After becoming a l'Cie and losing Serah, all purpose she'd had before had disappeared, and she threw herself into battle after battle because in battle she doesn't think. Not in the same way. Hope did it, too, he as well admitted it. She fought mindlessly because that was the only way she felt she accomplished something, even an empty something. So basically: When the odds are impossibly against her, expect her to just reject everyone and start fighting any enemy on sight.
I've listed quite a few traits of hers above. However, most of them also have exceptions, occasions where they falter. Her confidence, for example. It's shaken a couple of times in specific. For one, her Eidolon battle. (She basically feels like she's being torn apart with her brand at the center, like her body's out of her control. Afterward, while she's still in recovery, she tries to brush it off: "Magic and mumbo-jumbo... I must've hit my head on that Purge train.") Another instance in which she shows a surprising lack of confidence is in Palumpolum when she and Fang split off from Snow and Hope. ("Hey, Fang… The others are safe, right? If any of us got caught… they’d make an announcement.") If it were the whole group, she'd have just stated that things were alright, none of that hesitation. I think this is because Fang was a) clearly smarter than Snow, and b) had just as much confidence as Lightning, if not more. Fang and Lightning are a lot alike, as far as their confidence and their outlook on battle, but... They're a bit like yin and yang, I'd say. They're alike in the ways mentioned above, but Fang's the snarky, outgoing, positive version, whereas Lightning's the withdrawn, serious, and generally painfully blunt version. Anyway, so this was kind of a bunny trail, moving on...
part 2 of 2
First, Serah. Her younger sister. Ever since their mom died, Light did her absolute best to provide for them. She threw herself into her job so she could support the two of them, and she developed most of her 'strong, silent type' behavior in trying to be strong for Serah.
She was raised under the sanctum's thumb, so she was pretty much firmly set in the Guardian Corps mindset. This involved, among other things, believing that Pulse l'Cie were dangerous and the enemy and needed to be destroyed on sight. And her job meant a lot to her--Light had just been approached by her sergeant about two days before she found out about Serah becoming a l'Cie about getting a promotion because she was 'long due'. But when hopping on the purge train meant losing her job, she went against everything she'd ever been taught and everything she'd ever dreamed and quit the Guardian Corps in a heartbeat to go save her l'Cie sister.
She's very protective of her sister, and always has been. She rejected Snow from the get-go because he (in her eyes) wasn't nearly good enough for her Serah. Then, when they find Serah in the fal'Cie area near the start of the game and Snow tries to help her, Lightning practically growls, "Hands off. I'm taking her home."
The strongest emotions Lightning feels and have ever felt have all been in reference to or aimed toward Serah. Her strongest rage was at Snow and at herself just after they lost Serah to her fulfilled focus. She was near hysterical shouting at him. Her softest 'soft spot' is toward Serah, too: As a minor example, right before Serah turned to crystal, Light actually stopped raging at Snow mid-sentence to listen to what Serah had to say. Lightning's strongest loyalty and deepest regrets both belong to Serah, as well as many other emotions I don't have the coherency to name at 4 AM.
One emotion I'm going to highlight, though, is the aforementoned 'regret'. Throughout most of the game, she's trying to fight enemy after enemy just to keep herself from thinking of how much she failed Serah. Failed to show her love, failed to protect her, failed to trust her and help her when she needed it most. It's killing Light inside, to the point where even the mention of her sister can make her explosive and broody. But unlike Snow, she's not fighting to get Serah back. From the very start, Lightning condemned herself to believe that she'd failed Serah forever and that was that. (Another case of her being hard on herself.) She just couldn't accept it when Snow told her it wasn't the end, because of how deep her emotional rut of failure had gotten.
That brings me to the next relationship: Snow.
This is a tough one, because the relationship really does develop a ton over time. I'll do a little bit of how it starts and a little bit more of how it ends, since that's the canon point I'm taking her from.
Lightning has no respect at all for Snow Villiers in the first half of the game. She vehemently rejects him when he tries to call her 'sis'; at that point, she wouldn't even consider them allies, let alone related. The only time she can cooperate with him is where Serah is directly concerned. (The only two instances coming to mind are how they kind of get along trying to reassure Serah right before she turns to crystal, and how when the Pulse Vestige is being shot at and it's acting all earthquake-y, the two of them get right up into each other's personal space in order to shelter crystal!Serah with their own upper bodies.) She's also disgusted by his lifestyle. How he "leads around a bunch of kids. A group called NORA. It's a stupid acronym."
She absolutely, 100% of the time, without a doubt vehemently rejects him every time he even hints that he can protect or save Serah. She roundhouse-punches him square in the face twice in a ten second period for it. Just marches up and bam. She means business, man, no kidding.
However, as the journey progresses and she
pulls the stick out of her asscomes to terms with the situation and what they have to do, she becomes less and less hostile toward him. This is just my guess, but I'm pretty sure one of the main reasons Hope went with Lightning originally was because Light hated Snow almost as much as Hope did. They'd both lost someone important to them 'because of Snow'.Sometime around her Eidolon battle, something changes. (This makes sense; Eidolon battles are in moments of extreme emotion, to 'release you from the stress of being a l'Cie into death's embrace' basically. But if you win the fight against them, that purpose changes to something more like, 'To give you the strength you need to overcome the task at hand.' While a simple Summon can't do that, the symbolism's still there.) Right after that battle is what I'd consider the turning point with Snow. Hope was going on about how Snow let his mother die (as usual) and Light actually corrected him. Told him it was the Sanctum, not Snow. Defended Snow.
After that, she wasn't necessarily friendly at first, but there was a definite change. (For example, in Palumpolum: Snow was pretty much unconscious from falling off a building then hauling Hope around then getting walled by a beastie. After the part of this scene with Hope, Fang's like, "Don’t forget about this one," and crouches beside Snow. And Light kinda dryly says "That one'll be alright." But then she goes and puts Snow's arm over her shoulders to help him walk. "He’s too stubborn to die." And she helps him walk off. Voluntarily. With physical contact and everything.) And when Snow wakes up from that example scene, Light's pretty gentle with him then, too. Tells him to lie back down, then comes and sits by his bed. She then proceeds to open up to him, tell him all about how badly she still hurts/feels regret over that whole mess with Serah. She even apologizes to him in that scene, for how she'd treated him at times. Definite progress.
And near the end, they have a discussion about his plans for him and Serah when they get Serah back. She's satisfied with the answer, so she goes to walk off, but he makes a comment about 'if he ever gets to see her again'. She (standing behind him) roughly puts a fist against his back and says, "Don't go there. There's no room for doubt." He agrees, and she goes on to say how they'll see her again, and soon. She's going out of her way to help him, to comfort him. Aside from Serah, she only does that for two people in the whole game: First Hope, then Snow. (And another note about that scene: By then she clearly feels some sort of bond with him, because as it fades to black, it shows her stepping forward and resting her forehead on his shoulder from behind.)
I could give a million more examples, but I'll summarize from there.
At the canon-point from which I'm taking her, Light genuinely does see Snow as her brother, though you could probably stab her a few times before she'd admit it (his head's big enough already). She's still very touchy about him and Serah, but as long as he seems able to discuss it maturely, she trusts him with her a lot more than she used to. Now it's not, 'you stay away from her', and more, 'you'd better marry her and treat her nice 'cause if you don't I'mma kill you'.
Last of all: Hope.
Though it wasn't as difficult to accept Hope as it was to accept Snow, it was definitely a challenge at first. Hope was... let's face it, a whiny little punk. He moped around and couldn't fight for shit, and he knew it and Lightning knew it. So what made her give him a chance?
From the very start of his time following Light, he was determined to be better. Stronger, and more observant, just so he could be something more than 'that worthless kid' to Light. Of everyone, she was the one he immediately latched onto to look up to, and someone to become more like... And he did. In a few scenes, his lines could've just as easily come from Lightning, and he definitely starts to hold his own in battle. He complains less, and tries to be more helpful.
In return, Light gained a respect for him pretty early off. In one cutscene, she asked him (in reference to battle) if he's 'got her back'... And it's very unlike Light to trust anyone but herself to have her back. He's also the first person she lets call her 'Light' rather than Lightning. And from then on out, most of the time at least, she talks to him like a fellow adult--a benefit she doesn't even offer Vanille a lot of the time.
When he acted weak, though, especially at first... Hope got the same cold shoulder Lightning gave everyone else. At one point he falls off this huge robot, and tells her he needs a minute. She'd thought the whole robot endeavor was stupid anyway, so she just says, "You're too soft," and walks away. This treatment came to a close in the scene where she has to fight Odin, her Eidolon. (Hope trips, and Light snaps. "This isn't working. … I mean, you're a liability. You'll just slow me down. … I'm sorry, but I can't protect you when-" Then her mark starts glowing (aka impending odin battle) I guess Hope doesn’t notice, 'cause he keeps complaining, then she shouts (through apparent pain): "Enough! The whole world is against us… I can barely keep myself-… Ugh, let alone some helpless KID! I don’t have time to baby you. You want to get tough? Do it on your own!" Then she has to fight Odin. He asks after the fight if she meant all that, and she doesn't answer directly, but basically implies that she didn't and that he's free to keep following her.)
Of everyone but Serah, Hope's the first one to really bring out her compassionate side. At first, this only shows in her putting out the effort to say 'save yourself,' basically, where with anyone else she would have just let them follow for all she cared. Then it evolved to warning/scolding for his safety. 'Don't touch that, you'll hurt yourself!' sort of deal. Then she actually outright asks what's bugging him. This is the first time she's genuinely seemed concerned about anyone's emotions but Serah's. ("What's eating you? … I can tell you're hung up on something. Is it the l'Cie thing? … It's Snow, isn't it? … What happened with him?" Hope says she wouldn't understand. She steps over and crouches right in front of him. "You and I are partners, Hope." Hope admits that Snow is responsible for his mom's death and says Snow needs to pay for it. Lightning doesn’t know what to say.)
The next step? Promises. (Light had just had a revelation and called off their former 'mission'. Hope was saying she can’t build something up (operation nora, his codename for the mission she called off) and abandon it like that. She comes over and takes him by the shoulders and says, "I won’t abandon you.") After that, step by step, she started treating him... well, like her little brother. (Hope had been left with Snow in Palumpolum, and he nearly got killed by this beastie thing. After the fight [in which Light and Fang saved his butt], he offered back Light's knife, saying how operation nora didn't work out. Light pretty much instantly steps over and wraps him in a hug. Softly, she says, "You'll be okay. I'll keep you safe." When he says he'll try to watch out for her too, she draws back and kinda flicks him on the forehead, gently teasing.) That's 1) a hug. From Lightning. Hope's the only one besides Serah that she hugs in the entire game. And 2) Affectionate teasing. Snow got a little of it too later on, but Hope was clearly her favorite even as early as 1/3 of the way through the game.
Lightning teaches Hope strength, but in return, Hope teaches Light how to truly care about someone you aren't related to by blood. I doubt that Hope cares for Lightning quite as much as she cares for him (though that's just my theory), not to say that he doesn't care. Hope's 'her first' for a number of things (mind out of the gutter, folks, I'm discussing a beautiful relationship here. >_>). He was the first person she let call her 'Light'. (All of these are 'aside from Serah':) He was the first she trusted to have her back. He was her first non-aggressive physical contact. He was the first person she cared enough about to reach out and comfort. He got her first apology, and her first self-disclosure rambling (where she opened up about her pain and Serah).
In summary, Hope was the little brother she never had.
Abilities/Powers:
⌥ Excellent fighter, in both hand-to-hand combat and weaponry. (Primarily with the gunblade, though it's shown that she's alarmingly good with any sort of firearm. She steals some random dude's rocket launcher and aims almost perfectly without hesitation.) - Note: Logically, like a policeman of today's world, her specialty in hand-to-hand combat would be self-defense and disarming the enemy, though at her rank she's pretty proficient in both defensive and offensive.
⌥ She's very acrobatic. (She backflips the hell out of things in pretty much the whole game.)
⌥ She's very good at strategizing. (That's her way: She always observes the enemy for a little bit first, no more than a few seconds, to put together some sort of a battle-plan before she races in to fight.)
⌥ She's pretty good at stealth-style missions. (She 'prefers to take point', she says.)
⌥ She can summon an Eidolon, an electric horse-style dude named Odin. (Technically, the horse is named Sleiphnir, but that's getting technical.)
⌥ She's got your typical l'Cie powers. (Since I'm taking her before endgame, I'm gonna say she's got a level-five Ravager, level four Commando and Medic, and level zero everything else. It's not fair to bring her in fully-loaded from a non-endgame canon point, plus it'll give her something to work on while she's here.*)
⌥ L'Cie strength, speed, and stamina. (It's enhanced a good deal past that of normal humans.)
⌥ Her 'AMP' Grav-Con unit. (It messes with gravity just for her. Most commonly used to jump from very high places with no adverse effects--she lands and the momentum dissipates in a sort of shockwave of blue--but in the cutscene I linked in references you'll see her using it to attack by having it throw her at enemies.)
⌥ She has a bellybutton ring. (Yes, that's an ability. Don't question me. B|)
NOTE FOR DEFINITIONS: The six possibilities for l'Cie powers are commando, medic, ravager, synergist, sentinel, saboteur. Level five is maxed out.
Commando - physical moves, strength and speed, for melee combat. If you're on your own, Commando is the way to go. (...ffff, going commando. /makes note to use this joke later)
Medic - self-explanatory
Ravager - offensive elemental-style magic
Sentinel - tank, basically. specialty is... standing there and taking all of the damage. Snow, a sentinel specialist, could probably get hit by a truck and it would stop the truck instead of move him, if he's ready for it.
Synergist - defensive magic, like shields and protections and speed-enhancing... in Pokemon terms (because I'm cool that way), moves like Defense Curl and Agility.
Saboteur - offensive indirect magic, like taking down enemy shields, sapping their life, etc. (In Pokemon terms, Leer, Growl, Hypnosis, Poison Powder)
