* Lightning (ライトニング, Raitoningu?)

A former soldier of the Cocoon military, she sought the fal'Cie of Pulse only to be made l'Cie much to her dismay. Lightning has long strawberry-blonde hair and is 170 cm tall (5'7"). For her design, character designer Tetsuya Nomura was asked to create a "female version of Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII". During development, he described her as "not very feminine".[21] Lightning wields a combination of a gun and a sword and can also manipulate gravity with a device on her thumb.[22] In battle, she is agile and uses acrobatic moves. She can also summon the Eidolon Odin to fight by her side in battle. Her Japanese voice actress is Maaya Sakamoto.[23]
