Personality
Lightning is a feisty character who enjoys zapping people, but only people in particular, such as Flower.

He affiliates with rude and other killers such as Snowball. His voice is similar to Liy and Ruby's, except he talks more slowly. He seems to take orders from others when it comes to who he is supposed to zap. He also appears to enjoy/require clarification of the challenges, although he hasn't asked for this since "Why Would You Do This on a Swingset".

Lightning also feels remorse for his own actions, making him a little more friendly despite having to zap people numerously.
