x"Lightning. It flashes bright, then fades away. It can't protect. It only destroys."
Name: Lightning Farron
Age: 21
Which game are you from: Final Fantasy 13/13-2
The tide could turn so fast to this degree[/font]
History: Lightning Farron grew up in a fairly loved home with both parents and her sister in Bodhum. However, an unknown illness had crossed paths to the beloved parents and had put the two sisters in grief. On the deathbed of their mother, Lightning was asked to take the role of a motherly figure to Serah and hold the respoonsibility to take care of her. Without a second thought, Lightning had no choice but to take the role her mother had asked.
After she had graduated from high school, Lightning decided to join the Guardian Corps Bodhum Security Regiment as a Sergeant under Lieutenant Amodar. Lightning was focused, determined to be a strong and hard worker that made Lightning not realize the little time she could of spent with her sister, Serah. The death of her parents had made her realize taht she had to start a new life -- a life that also made her change her name to Lightning.
Despite her lack of attention with her sister, Serah had grown to become attached to a man name Snow Villers. It's there that Lightning soon heard the relationship of the two and automatically Lightning grew a taste of dislike towards Snow. Lightning reluctantly becomes acquianted with NORA and her lack of interest with Snow became apparent as the events take place.
On her 21st birthday, it was declared that both Serah and Snow are engagged. Immediately Lightning denied her approval and caused Serah to become emotional (more than she already had been) which also caused Serah to state taht she is a Pulse l'Cie. Serah had fled, while Snow tried to talk some sense into Lightning to take consideration of her sister's feelings. Snow followed after Serah and Lightnign stayed behind. She found a small knife which was the gift Serah had given her.
AFter the announcement of Sanctum that had plans to Purge the entire town, Lightning realized that Serah was telling the truth and tried to find her sister. Her timing could not be better as she found out taht Serah was being held captive inside the Pulse Vestige. As a result, Lightning's instinct had kicked in and soon regins form her job to board the Purage train. In this way, she could find her sister before it's too late.
As it turns out, boarding the trian had made her an accomplice by the name of Szach Katzoy. Lightning had no choice but to take down the PSICOM forces and derail the train. Later on, the two were able to find Serah laying unconscious on the floor. Serah soon woke up, reunited with not only Lightning but with Snow, Vanille, Hope, and Szach at her side. It was revealed that Serah's Focus had been compelete and that Lightning must carry on her own Focus. Snow had kept his promise to save her while Lightning felt as though she had lost ye tanother beloved one. Lightning felt the realization that there could be no other way to bring Serah back while Snow was dillueted with some sign of hope to get her back.
This had caused Lightning's hate towards Snow even gerater than it should be as they are constantly forced to work together and find out why they have become l'Cie and what they should do.
The events that took place between then had made sense. After runing into situations that could barely be held, Lightning had grown a sense of a motherly type figure towards Hope -- who had lost his mother during the raid form PSICOM soldiers under Snow's orders. In a sense, for Lightning it was as if she was making up for all the time she had lost with her sister and that perhaps Hope would have some faith that he's not alone in this world. It was later shown and after meeting up with Fang, that Fang had a goal to find Vanille to reunite. Like Lightning, she too, had a goal to save her sister.
The discovery of being a brand of a l'Cie included having abnormal abilities and powers. Lightning didn't believe it but when she realized it, it happened. The once bad guy Cavalry had turned against the army to help Lightning and Snow. They later discovered that the head of the Sanctum, Dysley, had proved himself to be a Cocoon fal'Cie.
After having their powers developed, they had reunited to Cocoon. The once head leader of Sanctum had revealed teh truth of hwom he really is. In shock and to no hesistation, the entire group of her, Snow, Hope, Szach, Vanille, and Fang were now going to defeat him. However, his defeat was not done just yet. The fight only begun as another creature had made an appearance which would ultimately try to destroy Cocoon all together. In the last attempt to save the world, Vanille and Fang transformed into the great monster known as Ragnarok to help save Cocoon from the depths of the creature before them.
Lightning, including the other three, had been released from their crystal forms. Their goal of their Focus had been complete and they had gained their life back. Their marks as l'Cie were gone and the sacrifive of both Vanille and Fang's life had returned new ones: Serah and Daj (Szach's son). Their sacrifice was greater than any brave beings out there: to save an antire world form destruction and to return life to the ones that are of youth. This realizaiton caused Lightning to understand that life cannot be taken too seriously all the time and that she must embrace it and enjoy it. At this point, Lightning finally approved of both Serah and Snow's engaggement.

Role Play Sample: As Lightning Farron.
here she stood at the front of the door -- the door to her home. How long had it been since she had forgotten about life outside of work? How long had it been since she set her goals first before consuming herself in the treaded field of being a solider? Lightning couldn't help but let those thoughts pass her by and not once had she realized she had lost sight of her goals.
After the long shift hours she had gotten earlier, Lightning was able to go home. A gloved right hand turned the knob to the door, twisting it open as she pushed the door in. Quiet booted legs would step inside her home, expecting silence out of it all. Lo and behold, she did. THe hopeful expression upon her had soon faded into a slight disappointment, yet not surprised. She released a sigh, shutting the door right behind her. "Go figure. The one day I come home early, and she's off with him . . ." She said to herself, crossing her arms under her chest.
Him? Yes. Snow Villers -- the man who she disliked with much to her feelings. Lightning never explained why nor did she have too. Something about him or perhaps the alliance he put himself in, perhaps that's why. She had closed her eyes for a brief moment and then opened them. She proceeded to head to the next destination which was the kitchen. It was there that she found a note, a note that Serah had left behind. "Meet me at the beach."[/b] It read. For a slight moment, Lightning was a bit confused but maybe this note had something behind it. What was Serah up too? Without a second thought, she had crumbed the note and tossed it in the trashcan. It was not long before she headed out of the house and to the beach.
When she arrived, she noticed a familair figure right a way. There stood a slender forum, with the single pigtail and the long pink hair. Lightning was surprised to see her sister alone. "Serah . . ." She said, but hardly making her call to be audible. However, Serah had turned and not but just smile. Lightning had a feeling Serah was up to something and well, Lightning couldn't help but realize that the two of them can now spend some time reflecting thoughts, feelings, and opinions to one another. It was, to say the least, a chance to catch up.
