Lina Inverse

Lina Inverse is a teenage sorceress and the main character of the Slayers series. She is voiced by Megumi Hayashibara in the original Japanese version and by Lisa Ortiz in the English TV series. In the English movies and OVAs, she is voiced by Cynthia Martinez. Her Italian voice is performed by Emanuela Pacotto in every season, movie and OAV in the Mediased dubbing and by Federica de Bortoli in the Shin Vision version. She is voiced by Veronique Uzureau in the French version. Lina is known as one of the most powerful and feared sorceresses in all the land. By the age of 14, she had already become famous (or perhaps infamous might be the better word). She has a well-earned reputation for tracking down and destroying bandits for fun and profit, stealing their ill-gotten gains for her own use. She has a great love for money, treasure (especially the magical sort) and food, the more the better. (Her eating habits are justified by her serious magic usage, a characteristic she shares with Pokota.) Her short temper certainly doesn't help matters either. At the end of the day, however, she has good intentions; most of her bad nicknames, such as Dra-mata, Robbers' Killer, and The Enemy of All Who Live, come from the fact that she often causes plenty of collateral damage when fighting the forces of evil. In spite of her infamy and her petite, childlike stature, Lina likes to see herself as a genial, dignified, and beautiful sorceress. At times, Lina appears to be fearless, but there are (at least) two things she is afraid of: Luna and slugs. She is also uncomfortable around fishmen, such as Noonsa and Rahanimu.
