Like Litchi, Linhua gets on well with the [[Kaka|Kaka clan]], specifically [[Taokaka]].

==Biography==
 
Linhua was born in Kagutsuchi, and lost her parents while she was still young. She was raised by foster parents, and became a medical assistant for Litchi at some point between the [[Ikaruga Civil War]] and the events of ''[[BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger]]''. She attends Orient Town's New Year festivities every year, and hopes to become a doctor.
 
===Calamity Trigger===
 
A gentleman brought [[Noel Vermillion]] to Litchi's clinic after she was defeated by [[Iron Tager]]. Linhua went out to buy supplies, and saw [[Ragna the Bloodedge]] carrying Taokaka back to the [[Kaka Village]]. She made her way back to look after the clinic while Litchi and Noel left to go back to the Village. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Reconstruction, Lacking Lady''</ref>
 
While she was on her own, Linhua looked after Bang after he lost to [[Jin Kisaragi]]. She took him to Dr. Han, another medical specialist, while Litchi was away.
 
===Continuum Shift===
 
The following day, Linhua and Litchi celebrated the New Year together before the latter started to feel strange, and retreated back to the clinic. Later on, Linhua found Tager and Litchi fighting, watching as Litchi lost. Terrified and crying, Linhua approached Tager and began punching his metal hide until her fists began bleeding. On [[Kokonoe]]'s orders, Tager stayed with Linhua until she calmed down. <ref>''BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Litchi Faye-Ling's story - erosion''</ref>
 
===Central Fiction===
 
It's unknown if Linhua was one of the [[Chosen]], although it seems unlikely. Regardless, a version of her appeared inside the [[Embryo]], fulfilling much the same role as she did in ''Calamity Trigger''. After [[Mai Natsume]] fought [[Relius Clover]], she and [[Kajun Faycott]] came to the clinic where Linhua helped to patch her up. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Arcade  Mode, Mai Natsume, Act III''</ref>
 
Linhua is last seen in the new world Ragna created. She was running the clinic when Litchi, Kajun, and Mai dropped off a nervous [[Platinum the Trinity]] there. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Epilogue''</ref>


==Powers and Techniques==
==Powers and Techniques==
During the events of ''[[BlazBlue: Continuum Shift]]'', Linhua demonstrated little fighting ability. She continually slammed her firsts into [[Iron Tager]] until she was bleeding. Otherwise, Linhua is a trained medic and was capable of running Litchi's clinic during her absence.


Unlike a lot of the other cast in the series, Linhua has no fighting ability whatsoever, but she is a trained medic, and can take care of her patient's wounds.
In ''BBDW'', Linhua's physical power is radically different. She now fights using martial arts, moving quickly and rapidly with her many strikes. A small panda, nearly identical to [[Lao Jiu]] is perched on her shoulder - it is possible that, like Lao Jiu for Litchi, this panda gifts Linhua with more power to fight.

Appearance

Linhua's appearance.

Linhua is a young human girl with tanned skin, navy eyes, and dark hair tied into a messy bun while her bangs frame her face. She wears a white, short-sleeved changshan with blue rims and a green vine print. Over this she wears a dark blue sash with a yellow petal print, and over this, yellow ropes that tie a navy butterfly ornament to her back. Linhua also wears two golden anklet, two golden bracelets on both wrists, black tights, and navy sandals with yellow straps. Her hair is held together with a comb, a memento from her mother.

Personality

Completely loyal to Litchi and her well-being, often going out of her way to make sure she's safe. Linhua is snide and witty, often making cheap shots at Bang Shishigami for her own amusement. Because of the damage they caused her family, Linhua despises the Novus Orbis Librarium, and is reluctant to medically help them, criticising many things about them, such as how they live at the top of the Hierarchical Cities, and their attitude towards civilians. When dealing with her patients, Linhua is no nonsense, taking a calm and serious manner.

Like Litchi, Linhua gets on well with the Kaka clan, especially Taokaka.

Powers and Techniques

During the events of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Linhua demonstrated little fighting ability. She continually slammed her firsts into Iron Tager until she was bleeding. Otherwise, Linhua is a trained medic and was capable of running Litchi's clinic during her absence.

In BBDW, Linhua's physical power is radically different. She now fights using martial arts, moving quickly and rapidly with her many strikes. A small panda, nearly identical to Lao Jiu is perched on her shoulder - it is possible that, like Lao Jiu for Litchi, this panda gifts Linhua with more power to fight.

BlazBlue: Central Fiction Library Entry

Linhua

A young girl who lives in Orient Town. She has a candid personality and is optimistic in most situations

She lost both her parents while she was young, and was raised by foster parents. Currently, she is studying under Dr. Litchi, in hopes that one day she, too, will be able to become a doctor. Linhua makes her fair share of mistakes around the office, but is nonetheless a diligent worker.

Linhua favors comfortable clothes, and even keeps her hair short for the same reason: comfort. However, she's currently growing out her hair to be more like her favorite mentor, Litchi.

The comb that keeps her hair together is a memento from her mother. And, while she calls the Kaka clan 'savaged cats' she doesn't mean that in a negative way - if anything, cats and her get along quite nicely. [2]
