<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#cccccc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">-Background:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#cccccc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Born into a middle class family, Lan was an inquisitive child, always getting into trouble while trying to learn everything possible. She avoided civilian school and instead went through hobbies like clockwork, teaching herself lock-picking and pick-pocketing from hanging out with the street kids during school hours. Her father taught her gardening in an attempt to keep her out of trouble, starting her collection of plants off when she was eight years old.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#cccccc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">The activity helped a little bit, as she would slow down to take care of the plants properly, but she still spent most of her time racing around from interest to interest, never seeming to have enough time. <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#cccccc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> Lan’s parents enrolled her in combat school when she turned thirteen, hoping the discipline gained through that would help with her lack of self control and make her less hyperactive.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#cccccc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">This plan backfired however, when her Aura was unlocked by a teacher and her Semblance kicked in. She suddenly found herself with all that extra time in the day she used to wish she had as a child. Lan began to go through her hobbies at an even faster pace, and the lack of ways to pass time resulted in Lan acting out even further until the teacher that had unlocked her aura, a Professor at Signal by the name of Rost Smith, sat her down for some personal advice.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#cccccc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Under his advisment, she started taking her hobbies a bit slower, working through them methodically instead of rushing. As a result of this more methodical approach to life, she has accumulated quite a number of interesting skills, including cooking, sewing, field medicine and basic mechanics (useful for maintaining weapons).

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#cccccc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">-Personality:

Years of training around this habit mean she is still capable of continuing a fight by forcibly suppressing the part of her mind that tends to wander, however this technique does not always work as well as it could.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#cccccc;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">She is among those who do not understand the point of the White Fang as she personally has never met with any of the supposed discrimination that occurs. Fairly open when it comes to most subjects, she is usually willing to talk with people about anything. Has an extremely strong crush on one of her teachers at Signal Academy.
