| − | '''Iwakura Lain''' {岩倉 玲音 ''Iwakura Rein'') is the main protagonist of the series. She is female, 13 in the [[anime]], 14 in the [[game]], and of an unknown age in other works. Visually, she is characterized by her short, brown, asymmetrical hair, one lock of which is secured by a [[hairclip]]. [[Masami Eiri]], in his desire to conquer the [[Wired]], wants her as his queen. | + | {|div style="margin-left:22.5%; left:20%; width:60%; border:#72A3FF solid 1px" |

| − | At the beginning of the anime, Lain is technologically illiterate and extremely shy. She hardly even checks her email and is visibly uncomfortable when doing so. While operating her old [[children's NAVI]], she puts on a bear hat. This, like her [[bear suit]], provides comfort to her and helps her face situations that she is intimidated by.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Lain's behaviour changes when she gets a proper [[NAVI]]. When online, she behaves much more confidently and assertively. Another Lain, commonly referred to by the fandom as "evil Lain", already exists in the Wired and, according to Lain in [[Layer 08]], acts like the part of Lain that she hates.
| + | <!-- |
| | | | |
| − | Lain appears to be highly intelligent and has a range of skills. The anime shows her learning extremely quickly how a NAVI functions and can even help the [[boss]] of the [[Men in Black]] repair his extremely old NAVI. Also, the [[manga]] shows some of Lain's skills in programming, as she modifies her plush dog, [[Bike-chan]], to be able to bark. In the [[game]], Lain becomes interested in psychology and is able to use that knowledge on [[Yonera Touko]], her therapist, when she becomes unstable.

| − | She is quite distant from her [[family]] and rarely speaks at home. At school, she is similarly quiet, although she begins to hang out with [[Alice]], [[Reika]] and [[Juri]]. Of the three, only Alice seems to have any real emotional connection with her.
| + | --> |
| | | | |
| − | Lain is revealed to be the product of the human collective unconscious that took form in the Wired. This means that there is a different image of Lain in each person's mind, represented by the chattering Lain mannequins in [[Layer 08]]. This led to Lain's [[identity]] crisis that forms a major plot point in the anime.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Lain considers herself to be a being that exists only in the memories of others, so when she edits herself out during the [[reset]], it is almost a form of suicide - although the Wired itself still retains her data, there are no people who truly remember her.
