The savior of souls who appears in tales of a distant world being ravaged by Chaos. After willfully entering crystal stasis for centuries, Lightning awakens just 13 days before the end of the world, thanks to the Almighty Bhunivelze. Still determined to keep her beloved sister's memory alive, Lightning agrees to become "the savior" and obediently gathers souls for Bhunivelze, who has promised to bring Serah back in return.

Background Story

NV

The savior of souls who appears in tales of a distant world being ravaged by Chaos. After willfully entering crystal stasis for centuries, Lightning awakens just 13 days before the end of the world, thanks to the Almighty Bhunivelze. Still determined to keep her beloved sister's memory alive, Lightning agrees to become "the savior" and obediently gathers souls for Bhunivelze, who has promised to bring Serah back in return.

Fusion

NV	I was made to serve God. But if that God lies to me— Then he dies!

Awakening

Summon

NV	When I awoke from my dreamless sleep, I was just in time to witness the end of the world.
