Played By: Esjitu

Race: Pixie

Age: Unknown

Gender: Female

Element:

Residence: Pixie Kingdom, Wayward Woods

Alignment: High Chaos

Occupation: Queen of the Pixies

Standing at about 6 inches tall, Linda is tall for a pixie. She has dark tanned skin with a small mole under her lip, purple eyes, and short black hair. Her wings are black and translucent, frail like insect wings (compared to the larger more butterfly-like wings of fairies), with deep red accents. Her crown is gold with obsidian adornments, and she typically wears black and dark purple clothing on the skimpier side (common among pixies).

Like most pixies, Linda is seductive and charismatic, but bears the dignity befitting a queen. She exudes the aura of a powerful magician, and indeed she is strong enough that she has been reigning as queen for many birthing cycles - an incredible feat considering pixie succession holds that the reigning queen must battle to the death against her competitors over the right to the throne. While she outwardly appears cold and unfeeling, Linda's heart beats very deeply for her people and she will always do her best to ensure their safety and well-being. Of course, as the pixies have been at constant war with their brethren the piskis for centuries, one of her foremost duties is guiding the pixie army - a duty she undertakes personally, all for the sake of ensuring their training is fit to protect the kingdom.

Linda goes way back with Krampus and the two appear to harbor mutual, yet unrealized affections for one another. While she has always put her citizens and duty as queen above her personal desires, Linda was willing to ask the favor of a foreign power for the sake of saving Krampus, putting her political reputation on the line for his sake.

It is unknown what sort of life Linda lead prior to becoming queen, but it is assumed she was just an ordinary pixie citizen for several centuries. At some point she decided to enter the tournament for the crown and emerged victorious over her competitors, earning her right to the throne - where she has remained for at least a decade's worth of birth cycles in pixie terms.

Recent Events: Christmas 2015

After an unexpected reunion with Krampus, Linda joined in with his scheme to take over Christmas this year. Linda would then use her magic to enchant a snowglobe and shrink the IGNOites down, trapping them inside. Through the use of arcane soundwaves produced by a magic music box, Linda was able to manipulate the IGNOites' conscious minds to forget the day's events each night before going to sleep - effectively allowing them to relive 'the same day' over and over again as she enacted the ideal Christmas scenario for them within the globe's world. This would keep them docile and preoccupied while Krampus, in the outside world, made his move to attack the North Pole. Linda also lent Krampus her finest soldiers from the pixie army to wage war against the snow elves at Santa's workshop, further drawing attention away from Krampus himself.

Inside the globe, Linda used her charms to seduce Konungur Bones, who had become increasingly more fed up with the commercialism of the holiday. Thus the 'show' Linda put on was meant to appeal to his desires for an 'old-fashioned' Christmas - complete with her playing the role of the shy and timid daughter of the local innkeep. Bones was unable to resist falling for her day after repeated day, playing right into her hand...that is, until the other IGNOites became wise to the scheme and were made to face their insecurities in the form of nightmarish monsters. They realized only just too late that Bones' insecurity being preyed upon...was his romantic side. Thus, SG2 and the others arrived just in time to witness Linda breaking character for the first time to stab Bones, just narrowly missing his chest thanks to his friends' distraction causing him to turn at the right moment. Even so, the knife plunged into Bones' shoulder left him unable to fight back as Linda forced them all to lose their memories once more.

In the end the IGNOites were able to recall their experiences the day before, defeat Linda, and thus break the spell on the snowglobe to become free once more. However, it was too late - Krampus had already succeeded in defeating Santa Claus and claiming the Christmas Power for himself. Nevertheless, in the end, he was no match for the combined powers of the IGNOites who had, ironically, only become stronger and more unified through the challenges Linda had put them through. Thus Krampus was defeated once more, and Bones stood poised to finish him off once and for all.

That's when Linda appeared once more, this time in her true pixie size, and begged Bones to spare Krampus' life. Despite the Hell that she had put them through, and how very much Krampus deserved it for all his misdeeds...Bones gave into the pixie's pleas, sensing a genuine desire to protect Krampus and not just another deception. As Bones and the others made their way back from the North Pole, Linda realized she had been right in sensing something special in Bones, and presumably helped nurse Krampus back to health.

Recent Events: Heart of Bone - Cardioskeletal

Bones ventured into the heart of the Wayward Woods to meet Linda personally, both to confront her and confess his feelings. Bones and the small group with whom he traveled were shrunken down to pixie size and welcomed into the kingdom as guests for a few days. What happened between Bones and Linda during those few days is known to only them, but it would seem that it only strengthened both Bones' feelings for her, leaving Linda quite perplexed over the mess she'd caused.

Recent Events: Christmas 2016

One year after the snowglobe incident, Linda made a personal journey to Knochenstadt to ask Bones for a favor - to save Krampus. The year before she had come across Krampus' old journal, shedding much light on his anguished past and grudge against Kristof Kringle - the original Santa Claus who had bound him in his hindering shackles. The accounts in this journal also lead her to believe that Santa Claus might be up to no good himself, a fact she felt Konungur Bones may be interested in hearing. Bones however was more interested in continuing to romance Linda, still hung up over her ever since their time together in the globe. Linda told Bones clearly that she had no interest in pursuing a relationship with him as a kept woman, a fact that Bones reluctantly accepted. However, he chose to take Linda up on her favor nonetheless - thus, Bones sent his team to investigate the situation with Santa Claus, and if true would then move to honor Linda's request.

In the end, it was true - Santa Claus was as corrupt as they come, and he had planned to lure and finish off the remaining IGNOites right in front of Krampus' tower where he might watch their downfall. What followed was a large-scale battle between the IGNOites and the powered-up Super Santa - until Krampus himself chose to join the fight. Realizing he may have intended to sacrifice himself and take Claus out with him, Linda begged Bones once more to save him.

From this point, three possible endings follow - though only one is considered the true, canon ending.

In the Linda Route, Krampus suceeds in sacrificing himself and destroying Santa Claus once and for all along with him, leaving Linda heartbroken and in despair. In the end she and Bones are seen together heading to a meeting of IGNOLand's dignitaries, and while she assures him it is strictly professional, it is implied that a future may yet be possible between them.

In the Krampus Route, Santa Claus manages to coerce Krampus into joining forces and ruling the holiday side by side, each reaping the benefits together. In this ending, Linda - along with Bones and the other IGNOites - is presumably killed after failing to reach out to Krampus' corrupted heart.

Finally, in the True End, Bones and the others manage to come up with a plan to defeat Santa Claus without any sacrifices, with all of IGNOLand offering up its belief in Krampus. With this support behind him, Krampus was able to summon enough power to destroy Santa Claus once and for all. With Krampus now freed from the curse thanks to Kristof's ghost, he and Linda seem to briefly muse over the idea of getting together...only for both to realize that they must go their separate ways. With a heavy heart, Linda thanked Bones and returned to her duties in the Wayward Woods while Krampus set sail to see the world, each hoping they may one day meet again.

It is unknown whether or not Linda's fate would intersect with Bones and the others again in the future...

Linda is very skilled at various magical disciplines. Known abilities include: enchanting the snowglobe that trapped the IGNOites so it could not be broken (so long as she was conscious); using magic music to cause memory loss in all who hear it; shrinking others and enlarging herself (presumably also able to enlarge others); powerful Shadow magic. As she has been the reigning pixie queen for several years now, it can be assumed that she is extremely powerful to have survived the mortal combat succession tournaments pixies use to decide their rulers.

Linda is, however, unskilled at physical combat. Furthermore, as a pixie, she is considerably outclassed when dealing with non-pixie opponents unless she has enlarged herself to match their size, but this takes considerable magic power to maintain and can thus be very strenuous in active combat.

She is also a skilled queen and leader, very respected by her subjects. The pixie army didn't understand her reasons for sending them to help Krampus attack the North Pole, yet nevertheless had full faith in their queen and carried out their duties proudly.
