I love Linda! She's a sweetheart and she was completely screwed over by Oleander. Still, she appreciates Raz and helps him out of not only a sense of duty, but I like to believe a genuine compassion.
Her mind isn't the deepest in the story, only because the entire conflict of it is brainwashing, which inherently removes autonomy from her own mind. Still, there's a lot of great details. The resistance obviously represents the part of Linda's mind that is resisting Oleander and they seem so peeved with Raz? I take this to mean that the part of her that's resisting is just so pesimistic; just trying to survive the next event and kind of anti-everything? That's a loose interpretation, though, and I'm open to different suggestions.
I think my two favorite parts of Linda's mind are the wonderful, 'She's more scared of you than you are of her," And then Raz being a giant monster in her mind (which is an obvious, but fun visual interpretation as well as fun gameplay wise), and the fact that (and this may be a stretch, but I like it), the resistance's method of 'taking back the city' is through verbal persuasion (pamplets) rather than brute force, because that's all Linda can really do. She isn't psychich herself, can't go in and beat of Kochamara like Raz did. She can only talk herself down. Brainwashing isn't a violent act but a mental one, and she's employing the same method onto her inner lungfish. I dunno. It's small, and could be unintentional, but I love it.
