Lin Lee, full name Lin Lee Koo (リンリー・クー Rinrī Kū), is a fictional character from Monolith Soft's 2015 role-playing video game Xenoblade Chronicles X, part of their overarching Xeno series of video games. The character herself was generally well received by critics, though Nintendo's alteration of some of her more revealing outfits between the original Japanese and her Western release in North America and Europe received more of a mixed response, eliciting much discussion about censorship and differences between cultures from journalists.
Lin Lee is from Xenoblade Chronicles X's fictional planet of Mira, a largely undeveloped world alien world that the remnants of humanity has crash landed on in efforts to escape the warring and destruction of Earth. She is a thirteen year old female child prodigy in the realm of mechanics. She is a part of BLADE, a group working towards colonizing and developing humanity's new planet, specifically working as an Outfitter, the game's equivalent of an engineer for mechanical devices. She specializes in "Skells" - large humanoid mecha piloted by people housed inside them, something she is enthusiastic about to the point of reading Skell fan fiction. Despite the relatively serious setting and career choice, her character is still known for cracking jokes, specifically recurring allusions to cooking and eating team member Tatsu, an in-game creature of small stature called a "Nopon" that resembles an animal. As a throwback to the game's prior entry, Xenoblade Chronicles, developers designed her hair clips to be small replicas of the "Monado Sword", the weapon of the prior game protagonist Shulk. Lin Lee's Japanese voice actress was Mariya Ise.
