Template:Character Lana is a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. She is a sorceress with light-blue hair armed with a book of magic that she uses to cast barriers to disperse enemies. She is described as a very energetic girl with a vast knowledge of magic and monsters.

Biography

Lana was originally part of one being, Cia,[1] a powerful sorceress who was tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce.[2] Cia however, able to observe distant eras and those who lived in them with her magic,[3] had became infatuated with Link[4] and in turn jealous of Princess Zelda.[5] Her preoccupied thoughts left her vulnerable as she was approached by a spiritual fragment of darkness, belonging to Ganondorf, who saw an opening in using her.[6] As a result, Cia became corrupted as the light from her soul was pushed away, which formed into its own personality becoming Lana.[7][8] Like Cia, she too also harbored affections for Link.

While Cia became the corrupted, wicked side of her former self, Lana became the virtuous side. Cia had opened the Gate of Souls to wage war over Hyrule,[9] compelled by the darkness to acquire the full Triforce and to revive Ganondorf.[10] And Lana had retreated to the forests of Faron Woods, becoming the leader of a band of resistance fighters and determined to end Cia's machinations no matter the cost.

The Hyrulean Forces later meet Lana at the Faron Woods after hearing rumors of a resistance in the forest lead by a young woman,[11] and arrive hoping it is the missing Princess Zelda,[12] who was taken from Hyrule Castle shortly after the wars began. Lana becomes of interest when Impa learns that she is a sorcerer from the same clan as Cia,[13] but Lana says she'll only tell more if the Hyrulean Forces help her to defend the forest.[14] Link, Impa and Sheik help Lana to defend the forest from the monster troops and defeat the Gohma Wizzro sends. With the forest base protected, Lana travels with the Hyrulean Forces to the Valley of Seers where Cia awaits.

Abilities

Lana is primarily a spell-caster, using a magic tome she carries to attack and cast spells. When used normally Lana is able to manipulate the pages of her book to strike her enemies. She also has access to a variety of spells. One of the most prominent is conjuration of barriers which can take a variety of shapes. Lana can create walls that surround enemies, shove them away like a bulldozer, or even conjure a cube-shaped barrier that she can roll to plow through hordes. These barriers can also be shattered through either sustaining damage or Lana choosing to do so herself. Doing so causes damage to many enemies though Lana can also be harmed by her own barriers shattering. She also has access to lightning spells which she can use to either damage enemies directly or shatter her barriers. Despite being a sorceress, Lana is extremely athletic, bounding and leaping with ease across the battlefield. When using her barriers she can jump off them for astounding acrobatic feats, traversing the battlefield swiftly.

Her second weapon is the Spear, primarily used as a medium for manipulating trees and plant life, as well as being able to conjure Deku Trees and sprouts with it. Alternatively, it can change form to allow her to use the Deku Leaf, an over sized Slingshot, and the Deku Shield. It also allows her the usage of water and ice spells.

Her third weapon type is the Summoning Gate. Similar to the Spear, Lana is able to summon creatures to fight for her though they are primarily enemies such as Dodongos, Gohma, and even Argorok. Lana will also dance and hum songs when using the Summoning Gate.
