Trivia

 * She shares the same forename as Linda Ortega from The Sophomore series.
 * The name Linda is of German and English origin and means cute, beauty, graceful, friendly, mild. In English, it's the short form of the names Melinda and Belinda. In German, it is less clear if it is derived from lindi (same definition as above), or from linta (linden tree). It's also a short form of names containing a form of the ending -lind, such as Gerlinde. The Spanish word "linda" also means "beautiful, mild".
