Lain Iwakura

Lain Iwakura is the main protagonist of Serial Experiments Lain.

Lain is a fourteen-year-old girl who uncovers her true nature through the series. She is first depicted as a shy junior high school student with few friends or interests. She later grows multiple, bolder personalities, both in the physical and Wired worlds. As the anime progresses, she eventually comes to discover that she is, in reality, merely an autonomous and sentient computer program in the form of a physical human body designed to sever the invisible barrier between the Wired and real worlds. In the end, Lain herself is actually revealed to be the mighty goddess of the Wired and that she is an omnipresent, virtual being that can exist anywhere between both worlds of existence.
