Appearance
Linne in her youth

She has short blond hair parted in the middle and light-colored eyes, possibly due to some age-related sickness, since they were dark in her youth.[2] When she was younger, her hair was more flyaway and slightly longer, a bit ruffled at the top and worn in a cowlick.[1]
