1)Basic info Name:  Zhu Chun Lan (goes by Lan)(朱春兰, lit. Crimson Spring Orchid. relating to her hair color) Species: Faunus (ring tailed lemur) Age: 17 Gender: female Symbol: orchid blossom (top down view) with a white center and alternating black and crimson petals Handedness: Physical traits: lemur tail, slight bags under her eyes Misc traits: none Occupation: student (team Lambrusco) 2)Appearance Aura/Effects: pale grey haze Height: 5’11” Weight: 167 lbs Eyes: bright blue Skin color: pinkish white Face: round but mature with soft features Hair: deep crimson Physique: slim and highly athletic Combat Outfit: White sleeveless qi pao to mid thigh with black ties and edging, the bottom is split into four parts for ease of movement and tail access. Tan capri's with scarlet orchids climbing up right leg with a small slit below the belt for her tail. Open toe simple black flat sandals. A crimson belt buckled around her hips with several pockets and pouches.

3)Characteristics Background: 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 lockpicking and pickpocketing 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. 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.

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. 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. Under his advice, 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).

When she finally graduated from Signal a slightly less rushed person, Her parents were somewhat grateful, though disappointed in how her semblance had affected her life. When Lan’s parents started talking about having her rejoin the civilian lifestyle, she refused. Having spent enough time training as a huntress to prefer the continuation of that path in life. Her parents disapproved, and the conflict has caused them to become estranged as a result of her enrollment at Beacon Academy.

Personality: Somewhat odd, Lan is very air headed and has a tendency of daydreaming or losing her train of thought at poor times, such as in class or during a fight. 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. 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 from Signal Academy. Likes: Gardening, playing games Dislikes: clocks 4) Trivia: Notable relationships: Parents: recently estranged Rost Smith: favorite teacher of all time, has a very strong crush on him.
