[edit] Biography
Lynette's profile doesn't give too many details of her past or how she came to work with Cepheus. She's the one in charge of selling clothes and accessories, but she's in search of her life's calling.
She often saw her co-workers work hard to become what they've chosen as their careers, and usually compared herself to them. Even though she lived in a town of mixed east and west cultures, she was yet to find something she would focus her energies on. One day Cepheus, realizing her suffering, came and told her to be patient, that she didn't need to be like the others, and that she should take her time and find her answer.
Since then Lynette has started to travel in search of an answer. She went from store to store, trying to work there while hearing others' experience and stories. She asked customers as well, and also took walks outside. Eventually she took other hobbies, like dancing and self-defense. Still nothing seemed appealing to her. She would still search, for the world is wide and full of surprises.
[edit] Weapon
[edit] Cepheus Seal
A pair of tambourines Lynette uses normally. They are most probably lent or given by Cepheus to her when she learned to dance. Other than boasting a unique design, they don't have special effects.
[edit] Stages
Lynette has no stages of her own, but she appears on Tales of Souls mode as a "Prepare to Defend Yourself" challenge in the Lakeside Colliseum (caged version) among the other shopkeepers as the third opponent of a 3-characters Team Battle.

- The tambourines first appeared as Voldo's Joke weapon in Soulcalibur II.
- In Olcadan's ending, should he choose to sell Soul Edge, Lynette and Valeria make an appearance, but not Hualin, the shopgirl who actually deals with weapons.
- Like the other shopkeepers, Lynette uses various retail-related taunts that have little to do with the battle taking place.
- Lynette's Destined Battle during Quick Play is Talim
- Lynette's ultimate weapon, Terpsichore, is named after one of the Muses of Greek Mythology, specifically, the muse of Dance.
