Lynn is quiet, so much so that those who don’t know her well might mistake her for being mute. She generally has her nose buried in a book when not working, but is known to watch attractive men and women intently. When she is with people she knows well, she is friendly and prone to flirt, with a generally positive outlook. She has a voracious sex drive which her husband takes advantage of, but theirs is an open relationship and she goes through sexual partners rather quickly, discarding them as soon as they become too serious. She is adamant about birth control, however, having gone through one difficult Uratha pregnancy and not looking to repeat it, despite her Aunt’s prodding. She loves her siblings unreservedly, though she is closer to Michael than to Janice. She is resepectful of her aunt but a bit put off by her pushiness. She has learned to quietly listen and then ignore directives she doesn’t agree with. She loves Cynthia and relates to her well because they Changed at the same age and is a bit jealous that Janice has her. She rigorously follows the tenets of the Oath and of Harmony, to the point of hunting the park at night for food. | Lynn is quiet, so much so that those who don’t know her well might mistake her for being mute.
