Behavior
Individually, Lina has as little chance of surviving as Alesia. She also tends to stand right next to the warriors to heal them and this places her at great risk; often she'll end up tanking while she tries to heal. Combined with Alesia (or later on Mhenlo), however, they do a great job of healing and protecting each other and the party.

Tips

 * Considering Lina's eagerness to be the party tank, try to keep her towards the back of the party when attacking a group of enemies.
 * When taking both Lina and another monk NPC, and no player monks, and only one player along with Lina is left alive, she will try to resurrect the other NPC monk before anyone else, which may be difficult if that other monk died far from any living members. One may have to personally lead her to the other monk so she can resurrect it before she will move on to other party members.

Note

 * Her last name used to be Esrevni. When reversed, it spells Inverse... an obvious reference to Lina Inverse, a character from the anime and manga series Slayers.
