= Biography =

Where there is the Maiden of Light there must be a Maiden of Darkness for there has to be a balance. To unlock the full potential of Alhazard both Maidens are needed. After The maiden of Light unseals the Rune Blade, the Maiden of Darkness is the conduit for darkness through her dark energy Alhazard can be restored to its full might. For this very reason, Lána was taken by Böser as a child for she is the Shrine Maiden of Darkness. Through Böser's magic, she was brainwashed into the Dark Princess.

As the Dark Princess, Böser had her become an ally of the Rayguard Empire, it was there that she met Leon. She was treated with disdain by all but Leon who was the only one to treat her as a normal woman, due to this and the gentleness she saw in him she fell in love with the knight even while under Böser's dark powers. When the Army of Light attacks Raygaurd Castle, she comes to Leon's aid. It is the Army of Light's first encounter with the Dark Princess, and Liana recognized that Lána is her lost twin sister. While Liana is unable to understand what happened to Lána, Jessica explains that she sensed Böser's power controlling her. Even with her help Leon is defeated by Elwin and his forces.

When the Army of Light travels to Velzeria in the hope of stopping the unsealing of Alhazard they once again battle the Dark Princess. They next meet her, when she and Liana are become part of the ceremony to restore Alhazard to its full power but the Descendents of Light are unable to prevent it and Alhazard is unsealed.

In the battle that followed however Lána is finally freed of Böser's magic. With the magic broken and Alhazard gone, she quickly informed the group that the best option to stop Bernhardt is to restore Langrisser to full power. Liana then tells the Army of Light that their next destination is in Elrad where the Holy Rod rest. No longer Böser's puppet, Lána asked to join Elwin, to atone for her actions as the Dark Princess. At Elrad after racing Laird's forces to the Holy Rod, the Maidens unlock Langrisser full power. With Lána unsealing the Holy Blade, and Liana being the conduit for the light she used her light energy to restore Langrisser's power.

With Langrisser in end, Lána and the Army of Light go after Raygaurd Forces to reclaim Alhazard. In front of the gates of Velzeria Castle, she is pitted against Leon, whom she still has feelings for. She begs him to stop the fighting, but Leon's belief that only Bernhardt could achieve true peace and his sense of honor forces him to turn against even her. Even when the Blue Dragon Knights are defeated he still refuses to back down, refusing to even state his feelings for her. In the final battle against Bernhardt and the Rayguard Army a wounded Leon comes to his Emperor's aid still, her words cannot reach him. When Bernhardt is defeated, and Alhazard's power goes out of control, Lána watches in horror, as Leon goes to die with his Emperor, wanting to die chasing his dreams. Even still she doesn't want to be separated from Leon and begs him to let her follow him even still he refuses to respond to her feelings.

After the battle she and her sister seal Langrisser and Alhazard into the Sage's Crystal.
