Light MageSummer RaysBound by Fate

Linde: Light Mage
Linde is a mage, and the daughter of Miloah, pontifex of Archanea and one of Gotoh's best students out of Khadein. Through him, she inherited the tome Aura, a spell that only a select few can use!	Miloah was assassinated by Gharnef, the so-called Dark Pontifex, who aimed to seize control of Khadein. Knowing that he was also after Aura, Linde fled, disguising herself as a boy to escape Gharnef's notice.	She eventually found herself in Knorda, a place infamous for its slave market. There, she was captured by rogues, but fortunately, Marth and the Altean army happened to find her and rescued her from her plight!	Despite the hardships she went through, Linde managed to keep Aura safe. I'm sure that her strong determination will be a great aid to the Order of Heroes!

Linde: Summer Rays
Here’s Linde, the daughter of Miloah, the pontifex of Archanea! She’s dressed for the beach with a light-pink swimsuit that looks simply divine!	While it might be the same color as the robe she normally wears, the design certainly is bold. Even the pareo she’s wearing is made from see-through material!	The basket she’s carrying in one hand is cutely decorated in ribbons, as well. There are starfish of all colors inside!	Linde seems a little flustered by the unusual attire, but the mature look is a great addition to her usual cuteness!

Linde: Bound by Fate
Here's Linde, a mage from Archanea, and Sara, a cleric from Jugdral. They're out together on a visit to the magic academy at Khadein!	It looks like they're dressed in the traditional attire of Khadein! Linde's making a big impression, dressed in an outfit fancy enough for a pontifex.	Meanwhile, Sara's wearing something a lot more adorable! By the way, those colorful celestial globes they're carrying? Yeah, they're magic—and quite powerful weapons, to boot!	While the history of the magic academy means a lot to Linde, Sara's just happy for the chance to explore a new place. They're both enjoying the visit in their own way!
