OVA
Description
Linaly is a young girl who appears in the anime Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals, set two hundred years after the events of Final Fantasy V. She is a direct descendant of the legendary hero Bartz Klauser and lives with her grandfather Hassam in a small village. Physically, she has short blue hair tied in a small ponytail and blue eyes, and she wears a short purple kimono-like dress with an indigo bow around her waist.
In terms of personality, Linaly is characterized as brave, calm, and level-headed, especially in contrast to her hot-headed friend Prettz. She possesses a quiet competence and self-assurance, and she is described as being very spiritual. She is also naive and wide-eyed at the start, yet she demonstrates genuine courage when facing danger. Her primary motivation is to protect the Wind Crystal and prevent the villain Ra Devil from obtaining its power. When her grandfather sets out to find the Wind Crystal, Linaly worries about his age and insists on accompanying him. After he is injured in a monster attack, she continues the journey alone and eventually locates the Temple of the Wind. Upon touching the Wind Crystal, she and Prettz experience a vision of the past, and the crystal unexpectedly lodges itself inside her, making her its vessel. This becomes a source of embarrassment for her, as the crystal sometimes emits a glow from her rear end.
Linaly holds the central role of the Crystal bearer and the key to the story's conflict. Ra Devil eventually realizes the Wind Crystal is within her and kidnaps her, prompting the other characters to mount a rescue mission to the Black Moon. Her most important relationship is with Prettz, a brash and reckless swordsman who becomes her protector and admirer. Though he often acts foolishly, he is deeply devoted to her safety. She also has a close bond with her grandfather Hassam, who encourages her journey. Additionally, she interacts with the ghost of Mid, the grandson of Cid, who provides guidance; Prettz tends to view Mid as a rival for her attention, though Linaly herself remains composed in these situations.
Throughout the OVA, Linaly does not undergo a dramatic transformation but shows steady resolve as she adapts to her role as the Wind Crystal's vessel. She grows more confident in her abilities and in her willingness to face the enemy. As a novice summoner, she has mastered only the summoning of a chocobo, but she is skilled in the magical arts in general. She also carries a yin-yang earring that she can use as a magical guide, helping her sense direction and spiritual forces. Her heritage as Bartz's descendant underscores her innate connection to the world's elemental crystals and the legacy of the previous heroes.
