| − | '''Sierra Lina Willis''' is a character in the [[wikipedia:List of animated television series|animated television series]] ''[[Queen of the Willis]]'', and its spin-off series ''[[The Souzas]]''.<ref name="debut">{{cite episode |people=|title=Ode to Deanna |series=Queen of the Willis |serieslink=Queen of the Willis|network=First-run syndication |date=|season=|number=}}</ref> She is the illegitmate daughter of [[Deanna Willis]] and [[Monique Cruz]]. On ''Queen of the Willis'', she was depicted as slim and hyperactive; however, on ''[[The Souzas]]'' she is shown to have undergone a marked transformation, both in terms of a significant increase in weight and a newly subdued personality. She was voiced by [[Traci Davidson]] in ''Queen of the Willis'' and by [[Lorri Fink]] in ''The Souzas'' and on the character's return to the former show.

| − | At 12 years old, Lina is the only child of [[Deanna Willis]] and [[Monique Cruz]], eldest stepdaughter of [[Brandi Souza]], the sister of [[Tessanne Willis|Tessanne]] and [[Maggie Willis]], and the stepsister of Alexandra, Chereice, and Telissa Souza. Lina's most prominent character traits are her laziness, obesity, and low social intelligence (although there are occasional references to her being academically bright). She has obtained poor eyesight over the years and now wears glasses. Since Monique's arrest in "[[The Rape of Heather Willis]]", Monique gave custody of Lina to Deanna and forced her to move to Detropolis, Ohio, where Gary Hicks gave custody of Alexandra, Chereice, and Telissa after Deanna married Brandi and Alexandra, Chereice and Telissa became her step-sisters.

| − | ==Role in ''The Souzas''==
| |
| − | Lina is a frequent target of weight related jokes from a variety of characters in the series, in particular Telissa, her step-sister. When Telissa met Lina, Tessanne and her father she would often call them "fat". In the second episode, Lina served as a door in the bathroom so that she could earn her classmates' respect, which angered Deanna. She also exudes a nervous and overly sensitive nature, and seems to have a fear of toasters as the toaster in her house scares and taunts him (akin to [[wikipedia:Chris Griffin|Chris Griffin]] and the monkey in his closet on ''[[wikipedia:The Family Guy|The Family Guy]]'').
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is revealed in "" that Lina has repressed emotions from her mother being in jail and has in fact never cried before. She has also revealed resentment towards her own mother, Monique, for raping Deanna in "[[Ode to Deanna]]". Feeling bad for the way they treated her, [[Alexandra Souza|Alexandra]], [[Chereice Souza|Chereice]] and Telissa help Lina to express her sadness and at the same time the three of them accepted one another as family. In "The 9/11 Twister", Lina reveals that she had lost faith in God after learning from Monique that Jesus forgave her for raping Deanna.

| − | ===Creation===
| |
| − | Lina debuted in the ''Queen of the Willlis'' [[Queen of the Willis (season 3)|season 3]] episode "[[Ode to Deanna]]" after Deanna was raped by Monique Cruz, but only made a handful more appearances thereafter. She was presumably taken into Monique's custody and has since undergone a major character reinvention upon becoming a leading character in ''The Souzas''. After Monique was arrested for an unrelated crime in the [[Pilot (The Souzas)|pilot episode of ''The Souzas'']], Lina is placed in Deanna's custody, and they move out of [[Quillsville, Indiana]] to [[Detropolis, Ohio]] where Deanna's wife Brandi rekindles a friendship with Gary Hicks.
