Halle Lidner

In the video game her jaw is less broad, her hair is a darker shade of yellow, and her eyes are blue.

Character
Halle Lidner is a former Secret Service and CIA agent who works for Near as part of the SPK, and is the only female member of the organization. She joined the SPK to avenge one of her relatives who was killed by Kyosuke Higuchi at the time when he acted as Kira. She states that she is on neither Near's or Mello's side in the competition to capture Kira. Although she ultimately works for Near, she still leaks information to Mello, sometimes at Near's request.

Halle cares for Mello, even trusting him to the point that she lets him hide in her flat. When she arrives at the scene of a fire, she is concerned when she realizes that Mello had died inside the burning vehicle.

Plot
She was chosen over Stephen Gevanni to infiltrate the bodyguard unit that protects Kiyomi Takada, with the purpose to get more information about Kira through her.

In order to attain Takada's trust, Lidner acted out the role of a diligent handler while covertly trying to uncover the connection between Takada and Kira. Her position as a bodyguard of Takada, as well as her beauty, made of her a very popular figure in the media, right behind Takada. In the one-shot chapter set three years after Light's death, it is revealed that she continues to work for Near.
