It was fun playing with people other than Al Bhed!Upon being released from contract.
Linna (リーナ, Rīna?) is an Al Bhed woman who can be recruited as a blitzball player in Final Fantasy X. She is initially found sitting on the stairs at the beginning of the frozen road, leading up to Macalania Temple. She then moves to the temple's doors after the player talks to Yo Mika in Bevelle after acquiring the airship. If the player misses Linna or ends her contract in the International version, they will have to defeat Dark Shiva to recruit her after visiting the Highbridge after acquiring the airship.
In the late stages of blitzball, Linna is a high-risk player, with her strong AT, PA, BL, and SH stats, offset by her very low EN stat. She also starts with Nap Shot 3, allowing her to bypass tough goalkeepers in the early stages of blitzball - this favours players leaning towards an aggressive midfield playstyle throughout all levels. At level 99, Linna is tied with Vuroja for the highest PA stat.
Like Kyou, Linna does not make a reappearance in Final Fantasy X-2 as a blitzball player, possibly because Nhadala, an NPC in the game who makes an appearance as a free agent, shares the same character design.
