A woman who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. Lightning is a soldier from the floating continent of Cocoon, ruled by servants of the gods known as the fal'Cie. Her unsociable and serious demeanor often makes her seem indifferent to those around her, when in reality she hides a gentle soul that drives her to face peril boldly to protect those she loves. Lightning gave up her post as a soldier to save her sister Serah, who had become a prisoner of the fal'Cie, and boarded a train full of unjustly exiled citizens to defy the fate the gods had chosen for her.

Background Story

5	A woman who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. Lightning is a soldier from the floating continent of Cocoon, ruled by servants of the gods known as the fal'Cie. Her unsociable and serious demeanor often makes her seem indifferent to those around her, when in reality she hides a gentle soul that drives her to face peril boldly to protect those she loves. Lightning gave up her post as a soldier to save her sister Serah, who had become a prisoner of the fal'Cie, and boarded a train full of unjustly exiled citizens to defy the fate the gods had chosen for her.
6	A woman who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. Lightning chose to fight against the gods' servants, the fal'Cie, to save her sister Serah. Unfortunately, this resulted in Lightning herself being cursed as a "l'Cie." The l'Cie were believed to be the enemies of peace; thus Lightning and her fellow l'Cie came to be persecuted by various enemies. Although not always in agreement, the l'Cie formed strong bonds with one another, seeking to fulfill their Focus in defiance of the gods.
7	A woman who appears in the tales of a world where the gods toy with humanity's fate. As a former member of the military, Lightning may seem indifferent and hard on herself and others, but she is a kind, loving, and even playful older sister. Although she finds herself in the midst of various disasters that befall her world, her determination never wavers. In fact, she's likened to a goddess as she provides guidance to those lost in despair.

5	I don't take orders from fal'Cie. How I live is up to me.

6	Destroying the world isn't salvation. I'll keep fighting until the end. This power will give me the strength.
7	We protect our own. We can do without their brand of mercy. And we don't need a fal'Cie's orders, either. I'm fighting this Focus to the end. We all are.

Notes

Gameplay

• Obtainable through Rookie Quests by clearing Lanzelt Ruins - Interior.
• Lightning has several variants: Radiant Lightning, Lightning (FFXIII-2) and Savior of Souls Lightning.
• In the Japanese version, Lightning received her Latent Abilities before release of the Neo Vision era. This was not made available in the Global version prior to the release of the Neo Vision era, thus her Latent Abilities were integrated with her awakening in the Global version.

Trivia

• Main protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII, supporting character of Final Fantasy XIII-2 & sole playable protagonist of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
• Lightning was known as the very first 5-star base unit in the game.
