OVA
Description
Lorna Endō is one of the primary éX-Drivers in a future where AI-controlled vehicles dominate the roads. She is characterized by her calm, professional demeanor and exceptional technical skill behind the wheel. In contrast to her more impulsive partner, Lorna approaches every mission with a calculated focus, often serving as the stabilizing force of the team. She drives a Lotus Europa Special and later a Lotus Exige, favoring lightweight, agile cars that match her precise driving style. Lorna maintains a close professional and personal partnership with Lisa Sakakino, despite their contrasting personalities, and she also acts as a mentor and elder-sister figure to the young prodigy Sōichi Sugano, helping him integrate into the team. Throughout the original OVA series and the subsequent movie, Lorna evolves from a strictly duty-bound driver into someone who finds deeper personal value in the preservation of manual driving culture. Her character arc emphasizes the balance between human intuition and mechanical reliability in an increasingly automated world. She is described as good-hearted and, at times, a little shy or reserved; her friend Lisa has called her a pessimist, but Lorna remains determined and consistent in carrying out her duties. Her notable abilities include her precise car control, tactical decision-making under pressure, and the use of specialized equipment such as sensor-blinding paste guns and adhesive rounds to stop runaway AI vehicles.
