Lightning is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII, and a pivotal character in the whole trilogy.

Lightning Farron was a soldier in the Guardian Corps, tasked to protect the people of Cocoon, until a Pulse Fal’Cie was discovered near her home town of Bodhum. Her sister, Serah, unknowingly approached the Fal’Cie and was branded, given the fated mark of a l’Cie.

The Sanctum ordered a Purge of all the residents and anyone who came into contact with the Fal’Cie, and so, Lightning boarded the Purge train to find, and ultimately, save her sister.

Orphaned at a young age, on the outside she appears cold and ruthless, unable to show emotion because she had to be strong for her sister. Underneath it all however, beats an unyielding heart, strengthened by her loyalty to those she cares for and her duty to protect her home and its people. In the face of adversity, she finally realises she can rely on others and, with their help, can achieve the impossible and change her fate.

Six people, from very different backgrounds, get thrown together in a series of tumultuous events. A Pulse fal’Cie (a demi-god) has been found in the seaside town of Bodhum, a place where the fates of everyone converge and the discovery sets in motion a chain of events that will change the world forever. An innocent fireworks display in the town soon turns nasty when government soldiers storm the peaceful celebration and commit everyone to the Purge (sending individuals “contaminated” by the Pulse fal’Cie into exile). This is where your story and legend begins. Can you fight fate?
