Introduction

Lynn is a cross-over character from Noise Factory's previous game, Rage of The Dragons. She is a Chinese American that had to leave China due to war. She learned the ways of the dragon from her Grandfather. Even though her mother taught her to enjoy martial arts and hard training, she prefers to visit the malls.

Lynn is the granddaughter and student of one of Chinnen's friends, and Chinnen brought her along with him to the tournament. She fights in the Matrimelee tournament replacing Chinnen after he falls asleep after a large meal.
