Her full name is Linda Lash, although she's often called "Lash" for short. Linda is Koga Shuko's main lieutenant and personal bodyguard, and is in direct command of his two most fearsome minions: Huey and Lewis. Noteworthy is that she's given the full name "Linda Lash" in the manual, which was also used in the later live-action film. Linda in this game is permanently armed with a whip, meaning that the player cannot disarm her and arm himself with her weapon. Linda appears as a recurring enemy type in Level 3, Ropes 'N' Roper. New to the 'toads but the Dragons'll recall their numerous encounters with this whip-wielding woman.Īvoid her stingin' swingin', or you'll be squealing like a Psyko-Pig. This final struggle actually allowed them to draw sufficient power from the ether to enact a Shinto resurrection ceremony and bring Marian back to life. After killing Willy a second time, and having native magical powers of their own bestowed due to their Shinto birthright, they were able to break into the magical barrier guarding Marian's remains.Īt that point, however, their very own tortured souls materialized and attacked them, although the twins ultimately prevailed over them as well. The Dragon twins once again set on their way to defeat Willy and his gang, and retrieve Marian's body from their hands. The now resurrected Willy, urging for revenge against the Lee brothers, ordered his minions to kidnap Marian once again, and not willing to take any chances this time around, he immediately murdered her and placed her remains under a magic field conjured by Linda (who had achieved a rapid promotion within the hierarchy of the Black Warriors as a result of her success in getting Willy up and about). Some of her first attempts didn't go as well, though, and Linda's early experiments produced a few mutated gang members. To perfect her new magical skills, she started by resurrecting the lesser minions of the Black Warriors until she had gained enough mastery to concentrate all of her power to raise Willy himself. During her studies, she also learned powerful magical arts which allowed her to reincarnate and bring back from the dead all of her Black Warriors comrades. After that first struggle, Linda managed to nurse herself back to health and spent several years studying ancient oriental arts of healing, or Undhai.
#DOUBLE DRAGON NEON LINDA COSPLAY MANUAL#
The manual states that all the members of the Black Warriors, including Willy, were indeed killed by the Lee brothers during the events of the first game five years ago, with Linda being the only survivor. However, it must be noted that these events may only be considered for that specific release of the game or take part in their own continuity, and not form part of the series' main established canon.
Linda's backstory was greatly expanded in the manual for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum English computer. Her main weapon is a flail, although she can also throw knives and hand grenades, which makes her a deadly opponent, especially when supporting other enemies. She can now jump (which allows her to escape from conveyor belts) and has a tricky elbow smash. The sole female member of the Black Warriors is back, this time boasting a whole new punk redesign which contrasts with her previous (and more feminine) look from the first game.
