::: Friends :::

These are most of Lina's friends that appeared in the series, well I guess you could call them friends.. it depends on your definition of a friend.. Well, maybe I should of named this page "people Lina travels with" ^_~.

Naga
Before Lina met Amelia, Zelgadiss, and even Gourry she traveled around with Naga ("The Serpent"). Naga is primarily a Movie/OVA character, so basically all the movies and ovas are set in the past. Naga would like to think of herself as Lina's greatest rival but everyone else usually refers to her as Lina's sidekick. Lina and Naga don't always get along very well, and they often end up fighting for different sides. It's really more of a relationship like "I'm on your side if it's convenient to me", either of them will fight for any side that pays. $.$ Naga is very fond of treasure not unlike Lina.

Gourry Gabriev
Lina met up with Gourry in the beginning of the series, a gang of bandits were attacking Lina and out of no where Gourry showed up and defeated them. (Lina would have helped but then she remembered that heroines have to just stand there and yell "Help!") At first Gourry thought Lina was a little girl and decided to escort her to Atlas City since she was alone. Eventually he finds out she's a powerful sorceress and starts treating her a little less like a kid.

Gourry isn't a sorcerer like many of the other main characters in Slayers but he does hold the very powerful Hikari No Ken. (Also known as the Sword of Light, or the Gorn Nova) The Hikari No Ken is able to slay many Mazokus (mazokus are hard to get rid of with ordinary spells) and when combined with spells it can be extremely powerful. When Lina first finds out Gourry has the Hikari No Ken she tries to buy it from him, and when he won't sell she says she's going to follow him around until he gives her the Hikari No Ken. And for the rest of the series they travel together and Gourry proclaims himself Lina's bodyguard.

Zelgadiss Graywords
Lina actually first meets up with Zelgadiss because she stole the Orihalcon Statue from a gang of bandits and Zelgadiss needs the Statue for reasons not known to Lina. When he first shows himself to her he tries to buy it off of her but she doesn't accept the deal so he later tries to take it by force. Since Lina was at that time of the month she couldn't use much of her magic and eventually got captured by Zelgadiss and his little gang. But later at night Zelgadiss set her free and eventually told her his reasons for wanting the Orihalcon statue. After Lina realized Zelgadiss was not really her enemy she began trusting him and they eventually became friends. Zelgadiss is not always traveling with Lina as Gourry does but he does travel with them quite a bit.

Zelgadiss was originally human but was turned into a chimera by Rezo. (the main "bad guy" in the first season) Being a Chimera makes him strong but rather freakish in appearance. He spends much of the series trying find a way to turn himself back into a human. (which initiated the whole Claire Bible Search in NEXT)

Amelia Wil Tesla Saillune
Amelia and Lina meet up when Amelia hires Gourry to help her so she can help her father, Prince Phil. (Phil is the prince of Saillune {also translated Seyruun}) Lina was helping Prince Phil make the area they were in a little safer and got caught up in a little plot between Phil and his jealous brother. After Phil's brother was gone Lina wanted to get rewarded but Phil and Amelia had no money on them so they invited her to Saillune to collect her reward. To make a long story short eventually Amelia started hanging around Lina and Gourry and they became friends.

Amelia is rather justice obsessed. Whatever she does it has to be "right" and "for justice". She even once asked Lina to teach her the dragu slave because she believed it to be a good guy bandit killing thing. Amelia later learns that Lina's true nature is not always as "good" as hers but she still travels around with them attempting to right wrongs and all that good seigi stuff.

Sylphiel
Sylphiel is originally from Sairaag and joins Lina and the others in the fight against Copy Rezo and Zannaffar. She can do socerery but doesn't do most spells very well. Her spells often come out small and/or ineffective. She is however able to do major healing spells and things like resurrection. Sylphiel has quite a crush on Gourry and even learns the Dragu Slave just so she can travel with Lina and Gourry. Syphiel is really only in the end of the first season and the very end of NEXT. She wanted to travel with Gourry and Lina but she isn't seen after the end of NEXT.

Xelloss
Xelloss follows around Lina and the others when they start their search for Claire Bible. He mainly just pops up whenever he feels like, and gives advice when he feels like it. Xelloss is a Mazoku (demon) and basically uses Lina and the others for his own needs. (or for the needs of the Demon Lord he's working for, he's always working for someone and often his motivations are based on his job) He'll often just do things just to entertain himself, (he loves to play tricks on the whole group) and Lina doesn't trust him much (rightly so too). Xelloss keeps to himself about mostly everything. (His most common response to any question is "Sore Wa Himitsu Desu"- "That's a Secret") He most oftenly has a secret motivation for everything he does but won't let you in on it right away, if ever. After that being said you may be thinking "and he's a FRIEND?", well he could be thought of as a dysfunctional friend (not that any of Lina's friendships are functional :P). Xelloss uses Lina but Lina tries to use him in return.

Filia
Filia first meets up with Lina because she wants to ask Lina and her friends to save the world from the prophesied destruction of the world. Filia is a golden dragon, and the golden dragons had a prediction of the end of the world and they needed a human to help stop it. They first asked Luna but after she refused they asked Lina. Lina eventually accepts and Filia starts traveling with the group. But since Filia lives rather far away from the rest they eventually part ways at the end of TRY.

Filia is a dragon but can put herself into a human form. She does occasionally have trouble making her whole body look human though, every once in a while her tail will stick out.
