"A soldier of the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime, simply called Underling. She has a real name, but no one bothers to call her by it. She works on a variety of missions—from demolition operations to faith-spreading missions to...flyer distribution. She admires her boss, so even though she harps about her horrid working conditions, she works diligently for the syndicate." — Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2 official site

Personality
Linda acts in the same manner as a delinquent. Her ill-mannered disposition makes her rude towards others, but she shows respect to her higher-ups in ASIC. She is bad-tempered and can be angered easily, especially when she's being referred to as a peon.
She admires her boss, CFW Magic, and follows her orders diligently. She would do anything, from doing menial tasks to causing disorder, just for the sake of furthering ASIC's plans.
She takes every opportunity she gets, from taking advantage of any situation she can to running away when she can. She would battle those in her way and resort to any advantage she can get. She is also quick to withdraw from any situation she can't handle, but she can be persistent and stand her ground when it comes to tasks that comes from Magic.
Despite being a devoted member of ASIC, Linda has a few morals. She expresses disagreement towards Magic's plans for total annihilation. She is also shown to be cordial when she helps out an old lady in Lowee, though this might only be to convert the lady into believing Arfoire. She is also seen feeding a cat when she failed to convert anyone into Arfoire in Lowee and she is disgusted when she sees Trick lick Rom and Ram.
Story
Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2
In Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Linda appears in Chapter 1: Divine Oratorio as one of ASIC's grunts. She is seen in Virtua Forest Depths trying to destroy the mascot character of Planeptune. She introduces herself as Linda but IF and the others immediately peg her off as an "Underling" which leaves her true name to be completely ignored.
Despite Nepgear and her friends efforts in trying to stop her from destroying the mascot discs, Linda does prove to be successful in her mission on several occassions. This, however, does not stop them from obtaining the mascot's power, making her efforts for naught.
Linda faces off against the party several times throughout the game in each nation and is the direct cause for the majority of every problem Nepgear and her companions must face. In Leanbox, she holds Chika captive and pretends to be her in order to trick Nepgear and the others. In Lowee she helps CFW Trick kidnap and brainwash Rom and Ram.
Despite everything she has done, she is defeated regardless and towards the end of the game she and Pirachu appear before Nepgear and her friends one last time for a final match in an attempt to redeem herself. She of course loses and allows the party to head on to Arfoire, thinking that they were just going to die regardless.
At the end of the game, Linda is shown with Pirachu to be distrubuting Arfoire chips even though they don't work due to the Deity of Sin being defeated. They are seen by Nisa who has Gust along with her, and while she is giving her speech, Linda and Pirachu make a run for it.
Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation
Linda debuts in the second episode of Hyperdimension Neptunia: The Animation. Using reptile coins, she and Trick lures Rom and Ram and kidnaps them. She sends out the ransom for their release. After seeing Vert transform to HDD form, she tries to run away but ends up being dispatched through the sky by Noire.
Trivia
- The hood of her jacket resembles Pirachu's face, containing his ears, nose, and white whiskers.
