Personality
Quick witted, aggressive and energetic describe Lynah rather succinctly. She generally likes everyone until they give her a reason not to, or reveal that they have a low intelligence without being adorable enough to make up for it. Lynah is difficult to provoke through normal means, but can be made very uncomfortable when placed in situations where her complete lack of womanly grace is an issue. Ly has some minor body image issues stemming from her relationship with her more traditionally 'attractive' sister thus gets very uncomfortable showing much of her figure or skin.
Youth
Lynah's birth and childhood were mostly uneventful. She had a relatively normal youth growing up on a farm in southern Ontario aside from a few key factors. Her father consistently pitted Lynah and her elder sister against one another in contests. Races, wrestling, swordfighting, and several other forms of physical competition. Eventually the competition between the sisters became second nature and they continued competing on their own. Lynah rarely saw Trayus as a sister instead of a rival, but usually found the companionship she desired at home in the many dogs that were on the farm.
Though Lynah's strange hair colour garnered her much unwanted attention and teasing over the years she was able to still win friends amongst her peers with her quick wit and bizarre sense of humour, though she was always paranoid about hiding the regenerative abilities that she shared with her sister and father.
Highschool and University
With highschool came a greater interest in academic pursuits for Lynah, and even a stint on the school wrestling team, though only after her sister had graduated herself. Lynah didn't want to be publicly humiliated by her sibling. That was for family only. After Trayus moved to the U.S. Lynah was able to devote most of her attention to studying and did quite well for herself during highschool, grades high enough for a substantial scholarship. After examining all of her options, Lynah decided to attend Aeon University, majoring in psychology.
Being in the Rogue Isles made Lynah restless. There was always something going on, it was always very busy, very noisy. It was tough for a small town girl to adapt to, money was growing scarce as well. She was eventually forced to turn to what many young people with certain abilities do in the Rogue Isles; start hurting people for money. She didn't consider herself a villain outright and would only go after people she felt 'deserved it', but she certainly didn't end up taking on a great many heroic traits.
Inevitable Evolution
In her third year of university, by chance Lynah came across Run Riot in Pocket D, whom she talked up a bit during the antics of Gutter Fly. He told her about I.E. after some prying on Lynah's part and she was convinced that their mission might be something worth applying her time and restlessness towards. It's been an action she hasn't regretted. Lynah's made a great many friends since joining and has grown to be absolutely loyal to the group.
Known acquaintances
Aside from random University companions, a lot of Lynah's friends are from Inevitable Evolution and it would be a bit redundant to list the entire organization's roster. So only a few who have had a large impact on Lynah will be listed.
Trayus - Lynah's sister and greatest rival in most things, it doesn't help that Trayus is faster and more skilled than Lynah in their shared style of swordfighting. Trayus and Linah have had little contact since Trayus settled into Paragon City and began doing the hero gig, which suits Lynah just fine. Linah believes that Trayus might have some minor mental ailment due to her incredibly erratic and bizarre behavior and this was part of her reason for majoring in psychology. Though it's been several years since Lynah and Trayus have competed in any way, Ly still gets visibly upset when discussing Trayus.
Unstoppable Wolf - Angel is probably the person Lynah enjoys the company of most in I.E.. They share a similar, perverted sense of humour and have a great deal in common when it comes to fighting (though Lynah isn't much for eating her opponents). It also doesn't hurt that Angel can take advantage of Lynah's incredible love of canines by simply existing. Angel has even managed to convince Ly to buy something that shows off her legs and figure, though she is reluctant to wear it in public. She is also slightly jealous of Angel's strength (and really that of any terribly strong companion Lynah has).
Franco Mancini - Lynah sees Frankie as a big loveable wiseguy and has given him the rather obvious nickname of 'Bigguy'. She's fought alongside Frankie more than anyone in I.E., except for perhaps Angel, and has always enjoyed the experience. Though she is a bit annoyed that Frankie can outeat her with little trouble.
Ani Reaves - Ani is 'Sunshine' to Ly. She gets along quite well with Ani, as between the two of them Lynah believes they comprise exactly 65% of the positive attitude in all of I.E. Lynah considers Ani a fun companion and an excellent potential partner in any future (highly entertaining, non-violent) activities at the expense of others.
Run Riot - Run is the leader of I.E. and one of Ly's favorite targets for light ribbing. Whether it's poking fun at his shiny bald sphere of a head, his prowess in bed or something else that tickles her fancy at the time Lynah has no trouble teasing Run when she can. Teasing isn't a sign of disrespect for Ly, but something she does when she likes someone. Considering how often she does it, Ly must like Run a lot.
Hauu - A scrappy little runt of a dog that can sometimes be found in Pocket D, acting adorably for food. He's taken a bit of a shine to Lynah who has no trouble indulging the pup if she's able.
Other Information
-Lynah has an incredible love of canines and a strong, negative reaction towards any type of feline. Humanoids with feline traits are especially bothersome to Lynah, though the no-violence rules of Pocket D have kept Lynah in check.
-Despite her incredible regenerative abilities, Lynah (and her father and sister by extension) have to eat large quantities of food to replenish the resources her body loses healing massive wounds. After a large battle Ly can often be found raiding refridgerators and gorging herself on whatever she can find.
-Seeing Lynah dressed in anything feminine is incredibly rare. Growing up on a farm has rendered Ly a tomboy in mind and dress.
