Lina Lombardi is a hotheaded pilot flying for G-Hound. A former mercenary, the disappearance of her father and a strong sense of justice motivate her on the battlefield. Tragically honest and eager to speak her mind, she wears her emotions on her sleeve, to an extent that even she might not fully understand.

Background

Linelise Lombardi, the first daughter of the first son of the Lombardi family, was born in Tuscany, Italy to AEU pilot Felix Lombardi and artist Isabella Lombardi. For as long as she's remembered, she idolized her father, desiring to follow in his footsteps. This dream became a close reality for Lina when she was accepted into the New Roman Academy, a military training academy affiliated with the AEU. She studied diligently with aims of becoming a pilot like her father.

During her time at the academy, she got a closer look at the work her father did, becoming slightly disillusioned with the Federation and how many officers prioritized following orders or the letter of the law over doing what seemed to be more right. However, she persisted, choosing to follow her dream. In 0091, Lina was informed that her father had gone missing during a mission over the Pacific. When she pressed for more details, she found that any information had been redacted and was unavailable to her. Completely shaken by this betrayal of trust, she dropped out of the academy months before graduation.

In an attempt to investigate her father's fate, Lina ended up contacting an associate of his, Elias Concord. The CEO of Concord Defense Solutions, a PMC based in Moralia, Elias offered Lina a job as a mercenary while she investigated. Intrigued by working outside of the Federation, Lina accepted, piloting an eEXM-17 Alto Flight Type along with Alina Pride, a technician and tactical advisor within CDS who would grow into her closest friend.

In 0096, Vitaly Sokolov, Lina's former instructor at the academy, joined up with the autonomous Federation group G-Hound, a group Lina had worked with several times in the past. Disappointed that Lina had flaked out of her program, Vitaly pushed herself into a mentor position to Lina, despite Lina's wishes. After several months, Vitaly was successful in convincing Lina to leave CDS and fully enlist with G-Hound.

At G-Hound, Lina pilots a VF-171 Nightmare Plus as the flight leader and sole member of the 21st G-Hound Aerial Juno Squadron as part of Sokolov's Rapid Response Team, having brought Alina with her from CDS as technical lead and AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) operator. In September of 0096, she fought in the battle of Torrington, defending a Federation stockhold from an insurgent attack while also dealing with a rogue prototype Gundam. During this battle, the ace of the One Year War, Amuro Ray, thought dead for three years, made an appearance. Lina joined in the fight against the newly hostile White Meteor, and while she put up her best resistance, was easily outmatched by the Nu Gundam.

For several weeks after Torrington, Lina exhibited several physical and psychological issues, including headaches and nightmares, initially thought to be a symptom of post traumatic stress. This was then accompanied by the presence of voices in her head, the stress of her condition beginning to interfere with her piloting.

While on duty in G-Hound's Luna II base, Lina was visited in a dream by Rita Bernal, who confirmed a sneaking suspicion that Lina was beginning to awaken as a Newtype. Sympathizing with Lina's search for her father, she suggested that Lina meet with Michele Luio of Luio & Co, claiming that Michele was looking for Rita as well and that if Lina informed Michele that they had met, Michele may be able to help her find information deeper than she would be able to find on her own. After making an appointment with Michele and explaining herself, she agreed to look into the matter and Lina unofficially joined the Phoenix Hunt.

While on a routine patrol by Tsutsujidai, Lina was caught up in the city's break from reality, and she finds herself trapped in its walled garden. She befriended NERV's Sonia Sophia-Grace, and assisted in the reintegration of Tsutsujidai into greater reality, fully awakening to her abilities and getting her payback on Amuro Ray all at once.

Upon returning from Tsutsujidai, she learned of G-Hound's campaign against the PLANTS, and finds herself conflicted as to her role and her future.

During the climax of the Phenex Hunt, Lina's trust was betrayed by Michele and her ReLion was scrapped by the Banshee, piloted by Puru-1. While waiting for rescue, she made the decision to leave G-Hound.
