Lightning

Claire Farron might not be a name that most are familiar with, but when you pair it with the female’s alias – Lightning, suddenly people seem to perk up. What people might realize and know about the Final Fantasy heroine is that her solo gig started in Final Fantasy XIII, where she was on the hunt to save her little sister Serah, but instead gets involved in a plot that that puts her home Cocoon in danger. In Final Fantasy XIII-2, however, Lightning doesn’t play as big of a role, and instead serves as narrator and short-term playable character. While some might have been disappointed by that, Lightning did once again return for Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, where the female is not only the main protagonist, but also the only playable character.
