Flying in the face of the traditional anime heroine who gains her powers through slow and tedious trial, Lina is a powerful sorceress from moment one, wielding the magical strength to destroy armies, worlds, and even universes if she chooses! Employing a clever strategy of stealing from the tyrannous and using the profits to increase her fame and fortune, Lina might not seem like the type to use her powers for the benefit of all, but when her world is in danger, she steps in. Aided by her friend Gourry, the not-so-smart swordsman, Lina can handle almost anything that her enemies dish out. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
