She is the fifth-oldest of Lincoln Loud's ten sisters and is named after their father, Lynn Loud Sr. Lynn Jr. is a very energetic, athletic, tomboyish girl who enjoys playing every sport that exists, and even making a sport out of everything else she does. She tends to start competitions among or pick fights with her siblings, and is also quite superstitious.
Appearances in Christmas specials[]
The Loud House[]
Lynn and Lucy searching for their presents in "11 Louds a Leapin'".
As one of the show's main characters, Lynn appears prominently in the show's first Christmas episode, "11 Louds a Leapin'". For much of the episode, Lynn and her younger sister Lucy search all over the house, trying to find where their parents have hidden their presents. When Lincoln tells the sisters about how Mr. Grouse is unable to spend Christmas with his own family, Lynn realizes that she's had her mind on the wrong priorities, and takes part in cheering up their neighbor by giving him a bus card and spending Christmas Eve with him. At the end of the episode, it is shown that Lynn received a new pair of sport shoes for Christmas.
In the online-exclusive Loud House short "12 Days of Christmas", in which the Loud family sings their version of the titular song, Lynn's line is "five goals to score", referring to scoring five goals in hockey.
Lynn's next appearance in a Christmas special was in the fifth-season episode "Season's Cheatings". In this episode, when the Loud family picks names out of a hat in their annual gift-swap, Lynn's name is picked by Leni, who accidentally blurts out that she's Lynn's Secret Santa. Later, when Lincoln is trying to switch out Leni's name-card with Lily's (because Lily picked his name and he was hoping to get a Rip Hardcore backpack, but has now learned Lily will instead be giving a homemade gift), Lynn tackles him in his attempt to do so. At the end of the episode, it is shown that Leni's gift for Lynn is an indoor field goal kit, consisting of a miniature football and goalpost.
Lynn dressed as Flip's helper in "A Flipmas Carol".
Lynn also appears in its partner episode, "A Flipmas Carol", which, being a take on A Christmas Carol, casts her in a Bob Cratchit-esque role. In it, she is working as a delivery girl for Flip's Food & Fuel because she busted a hole in the store's restroom door and has to pay for it. To her dismay, Flip informs her that she's going to have to work on Christmas Day. However, after he is shown the error of his ways by four ghosts, Flip comes to the Loud house on Christmas morning and tells Lynn that her debt has now been fully paid.
Lynn and her family also appear for a cameo at the end of The Casagrandes episode "A Very Casagrandes Christmas". In it, the Louds show up at the Casagrandes' to spend Christmas with them because Vanzilla broke down while they were picking up Lori from college.
Lynn Jr. had an antagonistic role in the main show's next Christmas episode, "Snow Escape". In this episode, it is revealed that anytime a "packing day" is declared, Lynn becomes a snowball-packing monster and ruthlessly pelts her family with snowballs (not unlike how her older sister Luan's pranks become outright fiendish on April Fool's Day). The episode follows Lincoln and the other sisters trying to avoid being attacked by Lynn as they make their way to the holiday parties the schools are throwing on the last day before winter vacation. She is eventually beaten when Lincoln tricks her into belching under the slanted roof of their dad's restaurant, causing snow from the roof to fall on her.
Lynn Jr. returns to a more protagonistic role in the episode "Twas the Fight Before Christmas". When Lincoln tells his sisters that he has a plan to get their dad to make amends with his brother Lance, Lynn boasts that him saying he has a plan was the last space she needed to win their bingo game. Throughout the episode, she and her siblings, along with their cousins, try to coerce the two dads into breaking up their bitter sibling rivalry.
The Really Loud House[]
In the live-action movie A Loud House Christmas, when Lynn Sr. and Rita decide to go on vacation to Miami for Christmas, Lynn Jr. is excited at the prospect of seeing the Miami Dolphins in person. However, when the Louds are forced to cancel their vacation plans due to the alleged attack by the "sharkodile" (thanks to a video hoax made by Lincoln and Clyde), Lynn becomes too depressed to even play football herself. Soon after, the "sharkodile" seemingly shows up in Royal Woods, leading Lynn and her sisters to chase it down and eventually learn that it was all a plot by Lincoln to keep them all together for Christmas.
Mentions in other Christmas specials[]
In The All-Star Nickmas Spectacular, when Lincoln shows up to give season's greetings from himself and his sisters, he mentions Lynn alongside his other sisters.
