Linda is the owner of the Bowerstone Industrial Homeless Shelter and Orphanage if the Hero is female. If male, it will be a man named Laszlo instead. She starts the quest "Kidnapped" where she wants the Hero to rescue her kidnapped fiancé from the criminal Nigel Ferret.
Her fiancé can turn out to be Elliot if the hero chose to save Elliot's life. If the Hero didn't save Elliot's life, it will be a man named Gerald.
Linda's counterpart Laszlo will still appear for the female hero, but his role will simply be to ask the princess to sign his petition during Life in the Castle.
