Eclaire Farron is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII. She was called more of her nickname Lightning than her real name. She is the narrator and also a temporary playable character in the game Final Fantasy XIII-2, and she also returned as the protagonist and the only permanently playable character in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
In the game, Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning seeks to save her younger sibling Serah, but unfortunately led in a plot that endangers her home of Cocoon. In Final Fantasy XIII-2, Lightning this time serves as a knight to protect the goddess Etro in Valhalla from her rival, Caius Ballad. In the concluding tale Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning is chosen to become a savior by the god Bhunivelze, tasked to save the people’s souls before the end of the world.
She’s a very loved character and it’s not a surprise if we find people cosplaying her.
Azeleia, a cosplayer from the Philippines, tried cosplaying Lightning in a casual wear. Don’t you think she did a great job?
