Lien-Da (Light Mobius)

Lien-Da (M:25YL) is the Mobius: 25 Years Later universe counterpart of Lien-Da.

Unaltered Timeline
Before King Sonic would alter the space-time continuum, Lien-Da settled down with her grandfather Dimitri and have a son named Rutan. The identity of Rutan’s father is unknown but it appears Lien-Da is no longer involved with him. Cobar, a brilliant Echidna mind was also hired as her chief scientist. (StH: #131, #141)

Rutan overheard Knuckles and Rotor’s discussions in Locke’s Park about the collapsing timeline. He would almost be caught by Knuckles, prompting the Brotherhood to spy on Lien-Da to see what Rutan may say. She proceeded to question and yell at Rutan but then help escort Salma home. (StH: #133, #134)

Later, Lien-Da questioned her son further about his whereabouts. While intimidating him, Dimitri would intervene claiming that Rutan was only a teenage boy. This would lead to an argument between Dimitri and Lien-Da about how he never turned over control of the Dark Legion to her. Dimitri would admit because she always acted within her own self-interest. Turning her attention back to Rutan, making him admit that he was at the park the previous night, where he was told not to go. Rutan admitted to her everything he did and what he overheard. To his surprise, his mother believed him, who let him go without punishment. (StH: #135)

After confronting Rutan, Lien-Da called Julie-Su, much to her half-sister's surprise. She was connected to a three-way conversation with herself, her Julie-Su, and Queen Sally. They discussed the recent weather patterns connected to what Rotor was studying, hoping to hear more about it. Julie-Su would also invite Lien-Da to dinner but the offer was declined.

Appearance
Lien-Da's appearance remains mostly the same in the Mobius: 25 Years Later dimension. She retains her cyborg enhancments and a black leather uniform. In the altered timeline she is also seen with her whip.

Personality
Like in the present time, Lien-Da would remain deciving and wicked. In the unaltered timeline, she seemed to settle down with a more peaceful life but was still so much of a concern that the Brotherhood kept careful watch of her. Dimitri would often try to act as a voice of reason to her, promoting her to reestablish her relationship with Julie-Su. She was seen getting along with her half-sister as well. (StH: #131, #134, #136)

In the altered timeline, Lien-Da seemed to be more brutal and darker as leader of the Dark Eyes and working for the tyrannt King Shadow. She took pleasure in torturing Rotor and pride in the fact she had Lara-Su arrested by her own father. Dimitri would also describe her behavior as "despicable", and not being as ashamed of his bloodline since he worked with Dr. Finitevus. (StH: #166, #167)

Background Information
It is common speculation among fans that the Rutan's father is Dr. Finitevus due to the white tips on the end of Rutan's dreads. To this date though, there is no offical conformation on the father's identity.
