Lin Lee Koo (リンリー・クー) is a playable character in Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Appearance and personality[edit]
Lin is a short 13-year-old human girl with pale skin. She has black hair cut just below chin-length, and blunt bangs. She has darkly-outlined dark grey eyes. She wears a hair clip on each side of her bangs that resembles the Monado.
In the Definitive Edition, Lin's bangs are thinner on the right and she only has one hair clip, which is pulling back her hair on the right side. Her eyes are purple with gold highlights.
In her first appearance and in promotional material, Lin sports the Light Wear gear from Sakuraba Industries.
Personality-wise, Lin is a bright and cheerful girl, always ready to crack jokes at Tatsu. She is well-mannered and treats the older members of BLADE with respect, especially apparent in the Japanese audio where she speaks using polite language with everyone, although she uses casual speech when speaking with Tatsu.
Lin is also a brilliant engineer, being able to develop the Skell Flight Module despite being so young. She is shown to be somewhat stubborn and very passionate when it comes to engineering and everything related to Skells, to the point she is willing to forego eating in order to fix machines deemed important to NLA's maintenance, even if the issue doesn't require immediate action.
Character Bio[edit]
Lin is a genius mechanic whose skills extend to Skell tech and beyond. She has a bubbly personality, treating everyone with equal warmth. Though young, she bears a passion for justice and a fierce will to live.
Battle Style[edit]
Though small in frame, Lin wields a massive shield to valiantly engage foes up close—a hallmark of her standard Shield Trooper style.
Story arc[edit]
Lin serves as the narrator for the game during its prologue and ending cutscenes. She describes how the Earth was caught in a war between two alien forces, and how humanity was warned of the oncoming battle and prepared Project Exodus, which involved the Earth Coalition Government launching colony ships from "every major city on Earth", but the White Whale was one of the few that even made it past the atmosphere. After the White Whale is attacked and crash lands on Mira, and the surviving humans have begun to adjust to life on a new planet, Lin described New Los Angeles as a "beautiful lie" the last of humanity has told itself to cling onto the hope of survival.
Lin is introduced in person during the events of Chapter 1. As Elma and the player first enter NLA, a Skell is seen crash landing by the West Gate and pursued by Lin in a buggy. She is testing an experimental flight module for the Skells with Doug as a pilot, and runs diagnostics on the crashed Skell to find she missed a leak in the fuel exhaust. She then offers to assist Elma in giving a guided tour of NLA to the player, leaving an annoyed Doug to clean up the crashed Skell.
Lore[edit]
- Lin narrates the introduction to the game, as well as various cutscenes in the prologue and final chapter of the game.
- Lin is currently working on some Skell fan fiction which she rarely show to others.
- Lin's parents who were design engineers died in an engine accident aboard the White Whale before the invasion.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Lin appears as a support Spirit. When equipped, Lin takes up one slot and grants the skill "Energy-Shot Resist ↑".
Lin is obtainable through the Spirit Board, where she is represented by a Grab-type Daisy using her eighth costume on the normal version of Shadow Moses Island with the BGM Xenoblade Chronicles Medley. In this fight, she is accompanied by Mega Man and R.O.B. (representing Lin's love for Skells) and she starts the fight with both a Drill and a Back Shield. Only Daisy has to be defeated to win this battle.
