A famous singer and equally gifted summoner from Zanarkand during the age of the Machina War, she is Shuyin’s sweetheart but as the Machina War tore though it brought about their lives after being struck down by their enemies after Shuyin attempts to use Vegnagun to defeat Bevelle but is stopped by Lenne. Being separated from the man she loves it was 1000 years later that with the help of Yuna Lenne and Shuyin are reunited.

Lenne has a deep understanding of the fires of war and the death it brings. Lenne understands what goes though Yuna’s mind having been intertwined whenever Yuna donned her Songstress outfit. Lenne is more of the moral minded individual who thinks before she acts and can find sense in outcomings which others may not. Most times Lenne will put duty or a mission before her personal feelings or well being. This brings about some of her unfortunate pessimistic behavior and a lack of trust in herself. But at times she will act out of character and show more of a positive and personal side. This is mostly evident whenever she is with Shuyin.

Lenne's passion is to sing and perform. Lenne has the ability to distract and put an end to fueds and fighting whenever she sings as evident with a 1000 Words which put a stop to the rivaly between New Yevon and the Youth League. Commonly Lenne uses tempo and musical related vocabury such as adagio which means slow or at ease and morendo which means dying. Being a songstress its perhaps not suprising but what is Lenne's imagination which at times even baffles Lenne. Lenne can imagine herself in very different situations and using things related to games such as snakes and ladders, Jenga, chess and so on. Lenne can't help it and can't help but be confused or disillusioned at times even after a 1000 years. Only Yuna is fully aware of the things Lenne imagines and sees it as Lenne's way to make a bad situation seem not so bad in compassion to thinking of worse situations or thinking strategically.

Similar to Yuna (when Songstress) physicality isn’t her best asset. Her strength rests in her abilities to Sing (helping allies) and Dance (inflicting status affects on opponents). Though not as agile Lenne can use the command Attack (which Yuna (when Songstress) can’t). Although that said her Strength status isn’t something to boast about. Lenne’s Sing and Dance abilities have a stronger effect on opponents then Yuna’s (when Songstress). Another command she can perform is to summon an aeon into battle to take the party's place in battle situations.

Overdrive

Sound of Zanarkand
Mode: Ally = the gauge fills every time it’s Lenne’s turn.
Lenne will begin to sing and dance. The amount of HP recovered and damage inflicted reflects upon how accurate the player is matching the button commands displayed on screen. This setup is similar to that of “Rehearshal’s Shtarting?” during Chapter 4, Final Fantasy X-2 where the player is prompted to match the button command when shown on the sphere. The more matched the greater the damage dealt to opponents at random and the more of Lenne’s HP is recovered. If no button commands are matched no damage will be inflicted and no HP will be recovered.

Special Overdrive

Lenne & Shuyin: Assault from Zanarkand
Lenne’s and Shuyin’s Special Overdrive only comes available when both are battling and both have their Overdrive gauge filled. Lenne will appear on a stage with a microphone in hand to perform of which her opponents will see and hear the last of. After “distracting” or “deafening” her opponents she calls Shuyin over to take care of their opponents. Shuyin throws numerous Blitzballs at his opponent(s). When their opponent(s) look up they see their impending doom as Shuyin crashes down with his sword cutting them down to size. It’s a three prong assault! Lenne’s scream inflicts moderate damage to all opponents, the Blitzballs thrown also do moderate damage and Shuyin’s final cut delivers heavy damage that will mark the end of the assault (providing both Lenne’s and Shuyin’s Strength is substantial enough).
