## Personality

**Lanhua** is a very vain and ambitious person. She had Mikel promise that if she brought him the sirens he would give her her own kingdom. Then he told her that if she was not treated too much, she would get angry. According to her, she is the most beautiful girl of the devils of Lord Mikel and of all the sea. Lanhua hates humans and believes that sirens are ugly. Lanhua hates bus trips as shown in a chapter of Pure. Lanhua hates being cheated and also that they believe themselves superior to her. That's why she, along with Lady Bat and Alala, always argued with the Black Beauty Sisters because they always wanted to be in charge. At first the aim of Lanhua was to please Mikel and become his queen but this changes when in chapter 36 Mikel cheats and absorbs her (along with Alala and Lady Bat) and then turns against him. She was surprised to meet the sirens because she thought they were more beautiful and with a better voice. It is a woman who is characterized by its elegance and sophistication.

At first she believed that the sirens would join Mikel and that they could be friends but the other three say that they would never be friends with him. Which shows that she did not hate sirens so much. He also loves the sea and because humans contaminate him he hates them. Even though she hates the human world in episode 18 she says she had gone to the beach to enjoy.

## History

Lanhua is one of the main villains of Mermaid Melody Pure where it is created through a butterfly by Mikel. His first appearance is in episode 66 of the season where he tries to catch Kaito with a whirlpool and Luchia and Rina are going to save him. Then he is surprised because he believed that the sirens would be more beautiful and try to fix them by attacking them with their fans. Then Hanon arrives and Lanhua shows up. Then she tells Hanon that she is also pretty ugly and the sirens are transformed. Then Lanhua recaptures them in a fan. Then they argue that Lanhua believes that humans must disappear because they were responsible for the pollution of the seas while Luchia, Hanon and Rina defend them. Finally Lanhua gets angry and begins to sing his song. But she is interrupted when Kaito invokes the Water Queen and she gives a new song to the sirens that defeat Lanhua.

In episode 69 of Mermaid Melody Pure when Bubbles causes panic on the beach and Hanon tries to stop him, Lanhua appears in the bustle of the beach complaining that you can not be calm or on the beach and try to attack Hanon. Then Luchia and Rina arrive and Lanhua takes the opportunity to sing his song and catch the sirens. It almost succeeds but then the mini-Lanhuas are trapped in the bubbles created by Bubbles. Thus the sirens are released from the spell of Lanhua and defeat it by singing.

In episode 75 Mikel summoned her along with the other servants of him. Lanhua praises the perseverance in the training of Arara to become a star. After Mikel gives him a sphere of power light that would use in later episodes. Then Mikel orders her, Arara and Lady Bat to help the Black Beauty Sisters in their plan and although none of the three like the idea they finally obey their master. When the five of them arrive at the auditorium, SheShe orders everyone to take their places. Lanhua stands to the right of the auditorium covered by a golden magic sphere. He prepares to sing by transforming himself into Mini-Lanhua. And at the order of the Black Beauty Sisters they all start singing. At the end of the song and see that the audience is still standing Lanhua hesitates to stay or leave but finally leaving Sister Black Beauty alone (Since Lady Bat and Arara also left).

In episode 76 Lanhua appears at the top of a building trying to find the mermaid princesses since she is sure they have to be near. There he decides to use the power that Mikel gave him in the previous episode. For that he decides to create a decoy so that the mermaid princesses are attracted, to mount a karaoke with their songs. Luchia, Hanon and Rina, hearing their songs from a couple of girls, come to the karaoke to find out what's going on. Lanhua is in a cabin from where he controls the movements of all the people who enter and leave the premises and once fixed his eyes because he thinks he saw the mermaid princesses (And it was really them but because the marker was broken he thought that they sang very badly and discarded them). Then, angry by the score given to them by karaoke, Luchia, Hanon and Rina become singers and Lanhua discovers them and is startled. Lanhua enters the room where the three girls are and uses the sphere of light that covers them with darkness. Then he begins to sing making the mermaid princesses begin to dance. When he was about to catch them, Hippo appears to scold the girls for not showing up at the Perla Hotel and when he sees that they are being attacked by Lanhua, Hippo transforms into a hippocampus and attacks the Mini-Lanhuas. At that moment the sirens take advantage to defeat it. Before leaving Lanhua complains that no one warned him that there was a horse, then disappears.

In episode 80, The Serious Garden she promises herself and Fuku that she will bring the mermaid princesses so that Mikel will catch them. Later she transforms into a human being and remembers how badly she had to spend looking for a bus bus to the mermaid princesses (since she was a traveling cheerleader) and she had to put up with old people who tried to kiss her, people who vomited and children who They pulled on the pigtails but finally found the bus for the mermaid princesses. She says she is very tired but quickly recovers and dances while thinking that her plan will work. The students of the class of Luchia, Hanon and Rina see her and are ashamed. Next she introduces herself as LanLan. During the trip on the bus Lanhua and Rina make a show of laughter. But when Lanhua is ready to make karaoke serve, the driver informs him that it is broken. Lanhua later believes that it is a waste of time to stay in the botanical garden but when he is about to leave Lanhua sees the mermaid princesses and starts singing. When he finishes he creates a cage with his fan and catches them inside. However the sirens stand up and manage to break the barrier and defeat it.

In episode 81 she goes to see the Napoleon fish that Mimi and SheShe created together with Arara and Lady Bat. The three are surprised and Lanhua explains that Napoleon was a French general famous for being a great strategist although he does not believe that the creation of the Black Beauty Sisters resembles the general. Later she starts up the third plan which consists of putting a sand trap in which Hippo will fall. However at the time of passing the trap does not yield and Hippo passes quietly. Then Lanhua checks if the trap was fine and falls inside. Then the sirens appear and defeat it. In the final stage she is a waitress at the curry restaurant to attract Hippo. In the pagoda Lanhua occupied the second level and when it was transformed into Mini-Lanhuas to sing Hanon takes out a bowling ball and throws it leaving them unconscious, defeating it.

At the end of the second season she is absorbed (along with Lady Bat and Alala) by Lord Mikel since he is now a complete being and does not need them. However, she sings along with the mermaid princesses in the last chapter to finally defeat Mikel.

## Song

His song is Hana to chou no Serenade (in Spanish "The serenade of flowers and butterflies"). To sing Lanhua has to be divided into mini-Lanhuas that play several instruments. In spite of that many times she has been seen singing in her human form. The "chibi-lanhuas", each endowed with an instrument, are dedicated to playing catchy music that makes the mermaid princesses dance without stopping until they can not anymore and Lanhua takes advantage of that they are exhausted to catch them, but always something happens and misses.
The song causes the Sirens to stop dancing.
