Biography

A beautiful woman with a crude streak who seems to be in near-constant debt. Because of this, she wandered Falena trying to trick people into playing cards, with money often involved, and cheats, thereby getting herself some money to pay off her debt. However, despite her outward nature where she appears to be a crude cheater, she often became guilty over her misdeeds, as necessary as they may have been at the time. She first met Freyjadour Falenas at an inn in Estrise, and using her skill, successfully managed to cheat the Prince for 2000 potch. Paying her debt in Estrise, she then left the town.

Later, she was encountered by the Prince again at Yashuna Village, where, apologizing, she paid off the 2000 potch she stole from the Prince before running away. Finally, they met one last time at the Raftfleet inn, only to discover that Linfa was once again in debt. She challenged the Prince to an honest game this time around, and afterwards she joined the Falenan Loyalist Army.

At the castle, Linfa formed a secret society with Nifsara, called the Secret Alliance for the Protection of Pretty Hunks In Real Endangerment (SAPPHIRE), even inviting Norma to their club to talk about Ernst. She also dislikes Haleth, having lost to him at cards. After the war, she continues to gamble, however, trying not to cheat.
