Meet Lightning Returns' new pink-haired character, Lumina
If you read our preview of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII you would have learned that a new pink-haired character has been added to the mix. Lumina looks something like Lightning's little sister, Serah, but has a weird smile and something up her sleeves. A fresh batch of screenshots from Square Enix this morning show off several shots of Lumina in her frilly, feathered clothing. Her mysterious nature is already showing. Other new screenshots show off all the crazy stuff Lightning can wear in Lightning Returns. Those shades are not working for you, honey. Did you know?
