===Life Before Huntsman Academy===
Vacuo-born first generation Huntress. She had a hard life growing up in the desert, her family lived comfortably, it was the family dynamic that made her home life absolutely intolerable. Her mother, and her father were unhappy individuals, pairing up the way that they did only made it worse. 
She attended Primary Combat School at an early age starting at Sanctum. She began transfer process starting at Signal, making another transfer from her hometown at Shade prior to her final transfer to Beacon. At Beacon she joined with her partner Zinc Graham, and fellow teammates; Indigo Levi, and Loden Rhee becoming Team LZLI. Lava and Zinc are extraordinary partners, they paired up soon into initiation. Lava came to the realization the she and Zinc were able to deftly play their semblances off of one another using Lava's speed, and Zinc's strength against their would be attackers. It proved to be a useful tactic, probably one they relied on far too heavily. 
During their debut at Vtyal they had a poor showing which resulted in Lava's breaking not one, but both of her legs, rendering her semblance useless. Someway, somehow they all managed to miscalculate the execution of their 'go to' move; Zinc and Lava doing what they did best, and it was working. Loden blames himself, and Lava blames herself. It is actually what caused the final crack in the possibility of them being more than teammates. All was once well among Team LZLI, at least in Lava's mind it was. She had begun going by "Van" to distinguish herself from team leader Loden, despite the fact the she was lowkey dating him, and her partner Zinc at the same time. She is free with love, and the does not sit well with others. Loden was too stable, and reliable for her. "Too good a guy for someone like me" is what she said. As for Zinc, she could never break things off with that one. They did part amicably, and Lava still makes frequent trips out to Vale just to see her. She claims to do it to 'shop around' for supplies. As the second wife of the 'pro tempore' Highmaster of Shade Academy it is a believable excuse.
