Along with the new battle system, costume and music of the official sequel of Final Fantasy X-2, we also had new characters. Lenne was amongst them and is by far, one of the most important non-playable characters in the game. It is officially stated in an interview that her character was designed and modelled after Koda Kumi.

Lenne enters the FFX-2 near the beginning, though she doesn’t make an appearance until later on, she does make her presence known. She lived in Zanarkand a thousand years ago and was alive during the Zanarkand-Bevelle wars. She was an important figurehead and much of the people of Zanarkand looked up to her.

During the time, Lenne also had a lover named Shuin. Together they paralleled Tidus and Yuna. Lenne being both a summoner and singer was high in stature amongst her people, as was Shuin, who was a star blitball player. The two were very much in love, but unfortunately, the times were against them as the Zanarkand-Bevelle war took a turn for the worse as it was soon discovered that Bevelle was in the midst of constructing a secret weapon called the Vegnagun.

Shuin in a desperate attempt to save Lenne, went to Bevelle and infiltrated the place where the Vegnagun was being held. There he nearly activated the machine until Lenne appeared and stopped him. The two were caught by the Bevelle guards and met an unfortunate end.
