'''Lynn Sheridan''' was a member of the [[Black Widow Company]].<ref name=TBWCp9/>

==History==
Lynn Sheridan was a [[trueborn]] from [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] who was taken as ''[[abtakha]]'' by [[Clan Wolf]]. She volunteered up to be a member of the scout mission that was to be Wolf's Dragoons.<ref name=DWF>''Divided We Fall''</ref>

She served several years with the Dragoons, fighting at the [[Marik Civil War (31st c.)]]. At the end of this conflict, before the Dragoons left New Delos, Sheridan, along with her lance members, went out on the town, and began a bar fight with Anton Marik's soldiers after repeatedly provoking them. Her lancemates were forced to knock her out to take her with them... but outside the bar, they were caught by their captain, [[Natasha Kerensky]], who punished them all with cleaning duty. Later, Lynn participated in the combat drop the Black Widow Company made to attack [[New Delos]] and capture [[Anton Marik]].<ref name=TSWp42>''The Spider and the Wolf'', p. 42</ref>

She participated in all [[Black Widow Company]] engagements from [[3015]] to [[3025]].<ref>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 24–25</ref><ref>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 14–15</ref><ref name=TBWCp16>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 16–17: Queen's Gambit scenario</ref><ref>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 18–19</ref><ref name=TBWCp28-29>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 28–29</ref><ref>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 26–27</ref><ref>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 30–31</ref><ref name=TBWCp32-33>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', pp. 32–33</ref><ref name=TBW>''Tales of the Black Widow'', pp. 20–21: "Spider Trap"</ref>

During the Battle of [[Corridan IV]], Sheridan found herself face-to-face with three enemy 'Mechs. Even though Kerensky ordered her to retreat, she instead fought a slugging match that turned one enemy 'Mech into a pile of scrap metal, but left her ''Crusader'' a wreck. She avoided an immediate court martial by claiming her comm circuits had been knocked out.<ref name=TBWCp9/>

She fought with the rest of the Dragoons on [[Misery]], [[Glenmora]] and [[Crossing]].<ref name=WDSp84>''Wolf's Dragoons'', p. 84: "Black Widow Company Roster"</ref>

Sheridan had descendants, as the thirty-second-century MechWarrior [[Deborah Sheridan]] was her great-great-great-granddaughter.<ref>''Divided We Fall'', p. 38</ref>

==Personality==
Lynn was a rash and foolhardy MechWarrior known for her tendency to ignore orders and seek out the thickest fighting. She was a compulsive gambler with her life.<ref name=TSWp56>''The Spider and the Wolf'', p. 56: "Not a Drop to Drink"</ref>

Before joining The Black Widows, her superiors had marked her down as ''willfully insubordinate, recklessly brave, and costly'', having at least once needed more repair work on her [['Mech]] than the rest of her lance combined.<ref name=TBWCp9>''Tales of the Black Widow Company'', p. 9: "Lynn Sheridan"</ref>

==BattleMech==
Sheridan uses her [[Crusader|CRD-3R ''Crusader'']] as a close assault 'Mech.<ref name=TBWCp9/>

==Notes==
* Lynn was, alonsgt with [[Natasha Kerensky]], the only known trueborn and Bloodnamed Dragoons.
