Creation and design

The ''

'' creator Hajime Kanzaka had originally created the characters of Lina and Luna (the name of Lina's unseen sister in ''Slayers'') as the heroines of his science-fiction story that he had written when he was in high school and in which Luna was the protagonist and Lina was her clone. Years later, when Kanzaka began writing ''Slayers'' as a Western-style fantasy saga of Lina Inverse, his friend and the series' illustrator Rui Araizumi took an inspiration for her visual design when he by chance came upon a vintage film with the actress

Despite her supposed to be having a very flat chest, so much she can be confused for a boy, Lina is often depicted by Araizumi with larger breasts due to his personal preferences, which would be then carried over to much of other media too.

Character and appearances

Lina Inverse

Lina Inverse was born in the fictional country of Zephilia. Since her mother used to be a mercenary magic user, Lina, suffering from inferiority complex to her sister, decided she would like to be a sorceress and coaxed her parents to send her to the Sorcerer's Guild school. Her older sister, the Knight of Shiphied Luna Inverse, was the darling of both her parents and the town, excelling in martial studies and quickly beginning to make a name for herself. Although Lina has faced down dragons, monsters, and even dark lords with little fear, the mere mention of Luna's name sends her into terrified hysterics. When Lina was a child, she sold images of Luna naked in order to earn money and, in turn, Luna punished Lina so severely that Lina has feared her ever since. Lina has many different nicknames, including "Bandit Killer" and "Dragon Spooker", neither of which she likes. To her, her most embarrassing nickname is "Lina the Pink", which is her official title amongst the Guild. In the light novel, manga, film and OVA prequel stories, Lina meets an unhinged and secretive sorceress calling herself

and maniacally obsessed with Lina, with whom she then travels with and often ends up fighting against during their adventures. During that time, Lina earns her reputation of someone who tracks and destroys numerous bandits for fun and profit, stealing their ill-gotten gains for their own use. In ''Slayers Revolution'', Lina embarks on pirate hunting after bandits have become an "endangered species". According to Kanzaka, Lina and her self-proclaimed rival Naga are the mightiest human magic users in the world of ''Slayers''; while Naga has a larger potential magical capacity, Lina knows the ultimate

spells, notably the devastating Dragon Slave, which is her famed signature attack. Although she is an adolescent (between 15 and 17 years old in most stories), she is an extremely powerful mage, with a great love for money, treasure (especially the magical sort) and food. In the anime and manga (but not the light novels), Lina recklessly uses overly destructive magic, often with little provocation (though depicted lightheartedly). As such, she is widely reputed to be an evil and calamitous "Enemy of All Who Live", among many other similar monikers (such as "Empress of Destruction", "Natural Disaster Mage", "Raven-Black Witch" and "No-Breasts Demon"). In spite of her infamy and an underdeveloped body, Lina likes to see herself as a genial, dignified, and beautiful sorceress. Adding to her mental instability, she is also selfish, short-tempered and gluttonous, and suffers an inferiority complex over her chest size, especially when alongside the very busty Naga who likes to taunt Lina over this. Lina's accomplishments include the destruction of a piece of Shabranigdo and having a hand in the destruction of the demon lords such as Gaav and Hellmaster Phibrizzo, as well as defeating Dark Star, the counterpart of Shabranigdo. Due to these accomplishments, she is increasingly piquing the interest of the

Lina encounters and destroys a part of the Mazoku Lord Shabranigdo with her ultimate Giga Slave spell, which draws power from the Lord of Nightmares, the highest deity of the ''Slayers'' universe, but has no plans to ever use it again after almost ending the world. She befriends a princess named Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun and the priestess Sylphiel Nels Lahda. She later meets a mysterious priest

and gets caught between Chaos Dragon Gaav and Hellmaster Phibrizzo. In the anime-exclusive series ''Slayers Try'', Lina is recruited by the dragoness Filia Ul Copt to save the world. In ''Slayers Revolution'', Lina gets arrested on false pretense which later comes leading her on a journey against another incarnation of the Demon Beast Zannafar. She also meets an odd little creature named Pokota, who too has the ability to use the Dragon Slave. Lina and Gourry have traveled with each other ever since they met, and they have been featured in every form of ''Slayers'' media that takes place in the timeline after they meet. Lina appears to fall in love with Gourry, once even risking the destruction of the universe in order to save him. There is a distinct lack of romantic development in the series, even after it is affirmed that Lina and Gourry love each other. Kanzaka addressed this by jokingly stating that he is not adept in writing romantic scenes. The final climax of ''Slayers Next'', the second season of the ''Slayers'' TV series, the two characters share a kiss, though they cannot later recall the incident. However, both Gourry and Lina remember that something important had happened between them. In any media taking place after the two met, they have been featured together and should they ever get separated, are never apart for too long. The audio drama ''Slayers Kita Kaette EX #4'', which provides a pseudo-closure to the entire ''Slayers'' saga (since it was made before ''Slayers Evolution-R''), features the retired Lina and Naga, both now elderly in their eighties (with almost all other characters already deceased) and vacationing together while still quarreling and fighting each other. Lina is also the main protagonists through the entire official series of the non-canonical ''Slayers'' role-playing video games from the 1990s, and further appears as a player character or an avatar option in the role-playing video games ''

Derived characters

Several different versions of Lina populate the world of ''Slayers'' due to various plots. In one story from the prequels, Lina and Naga are exposed to a mirror that creates an exact opposite of whoever looks in it. The wizard using it expects this to produce dark and violent version of the two that would side with him and destroy the originals, but the mirror copies turn out sweet, kind, generous, and extremely concerned about the feelings of each other and everyone around them. In their attempts to break the spell, Lina and Naga actually wind up creating dozens of such

A slightly adapted version of this story, which resulted in the mirror being destroyed without creating more than the initial copies, served as the basis of the '' Slayers Special'' OAV episode "Mirror Mirror". In the ''Slayers'' TV series, Gourry and Lina are both the subject of an attempt at cloning, which spawns a number of miniature,
