## Character

### Personality

Lana is kind, caring, compassionate, brave, heroic, protective and optimistic. She can appear quite naive, outspoken, and slightly foolish, sometimes selfish, often acting impulsively without thinking of the consequences. She has a habit of trying to see the good in everyone, refuses to believe hearsay about people and rather gathers her own experience with them, much to the disliking of some of her close friends, especially Morrigan who is just trying to look out for Lana's well-being. Naturally, this can, and has lead to problems in the past was, most of the time, was capable of taking care of it herself, at least as far as she is aware, but she might have had a little bit of magical help. She's also quite boyish in her demeanor most of the time, not at all acting like a princess would.

### Appearance

Lana has hip long, curly, ginger hair and pale skin. She has a slim petite figure, freckles and piecing blue eyes. Her favorite color is green so most of her attire features that color, usually in darker, more elegant and regal looking shades. Despite being a princess and unlike most of the other princesses at Ever After High, she refuses to wear a crown or a fancy tiara and is often seen wearing armor pieces instead. This is a fashion statement to align with her identifying as a rebel and her heart's desire to become a Knight, so much so, that she would literally relinquish the throne of Camelot for it, if she can't have both.

### How does Lana fit into it?

Ever since Lana could think she dreamt about becoming a Knight one day, more so than becoming a queen. In fact, she hated the chores she had to participate in to learn the etiquette of a Princes and soon to be Queen. Naturally, those Princess lessons would also become her least favorite classes at Ever After High. When her legacy year started, she questioned her destiny and whether she cannot take the role of her father - who was also a Knight and not just a King - instead. She was even trying to convince her parents to pull some strings to make her wish of becoming a knight come true, but they also tried to talk her out of it and going with the destiny the story book of legends chose for her if she didn't want their Legend and all they fought for be forgotten. So, she reluctantly promised them to take the oath to follow in her mother’s footsteps, as the storybook of legends wants her to.

However, as Legacy Day came closer **Maven Le Fay** approached her. While she shooed him away the first few times thinking nothing good would come from an interaction with the villain of her own soon to be story. He eventually caught her interest though and managed to tell her about a secret he only recently found out himself: Lana’s biological father is not Arthur Pendragon, King of Camelot, but one of his (former) Knights of the Round Table; Lancelot Du Lac. Appalled by this, Lana asked Maven what evidence he has for such an outrageous claim, and he told her that it was his very own mother who cast the love spell on Lancelot and Guinevere in an attempt to separate Guinevere from Arthur before she could claim the throne as the Queen of Camelot by marriage.

She still refused to believe him, but the thought alone troubled her so much, that she confronted her parents. They confirmed the story but while Arthur promised her, that in his heart, she is his daughter, she got angry with the both of them for keeping it a secret and lying to her face for all this time. With this new information, Lana approached **Cedric Du Lac** who she thought of being her half-brother now, to learn more about him and her father. She learned that Cedric was just a ward of Lancelot that he eventually adopted and that he is not blood-related to him and thus, also not blood-related to Lana. She also learned that Lancelot did not even know he had a biological child and that he was kept in the dark just as much as she was. In a knee-jerk reaction Lana stole Cedric's Key and pledged to become the next Lancelot instead during Legacy Day, not caring about the consequences not just for herself and her story, but also for Cedric, whose legacy she just stole.

## Relationships

### Morrigan Wyllt, Best Friends by Destiny

She had to admit though, that some of the fame is self-owned as Morrigans skills in magic are indeed phenomenal and all praise she receives for that is more than appropriate. And beneath the facade of fame and popularity, Morrigan does care about Lana a lot as she demonstrated plenty in the past. That doesn't stop Lana from bringing her down to earth whenever she feels Morrigan overreaches though.

### Mary Lynn Wyllt, Crush

  Dialogue
**Lana Du Lac**: "*I-I had no idea Morrigan had a sister, she never said anything!*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*That's not surprising. I'm quite boring, honestly. There's nothing exciting to tell about me. I don't have a legacy, I don't even have magic powers, like my sister*"
**Lana Du Lac**: "*I envy you...*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*Really...Why?*"
**Lana Du Lac**: "*With no legacy, you can do and become whatever you want with noone telling you otherwise as noone is depending on you following your destiny...*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*I...I guess?*"
**Lana Du Lac**: "*And I bet you aren't even as boring as you claim to be!*"
— First conversation between ****Lana Du Lac**** and **Mary Lynn Wyllt**.

When she first saw her wandering around the School building all by herself, Lana was immedeately captivated by her presence, so much so that she didn't even know how to approach her. Eager to figure out who she is, she started asking around, and, as she was approaching Morrigan about the "New Girl", Morrigan noticed said new girl, greeting her as "Lil Sis". That of course made it easier to approach her "Mystery Girl", but didn't get rid of the excitement she felt whenever she saw her and was able to spend time with her. Lana eventually admited to herself, that she might have caught feelings for Mary Lynn, which was and still is a bit of a weird and very confusing experience for her, that she really is terrified coming out about.

### Cedric Du Lac

After Lana learned the truth about her heritage from Maven and had it confirmed by her own parents, she was successfully trying to meet up with him in secret. Thinking she was related to Cedric, she asked him about "their father". He told her that he is not blood-related to his father either, which was a secret he didn't really tell anyone either, because he didn't want himself or anyone else to think of his father as "not his real father", and he doesn't want anyone to belittle their relationship because of that in any way. Cedric arranged for Lana to meet Lancelot, where she learned that he also had no idea that he was her father.

They had another bonding moment when Cedric realized the looks Lana is giving Mary Lynn. He encouraged her to tell Mary Lynn about her feelings as he can feel the chemistry between the two of them. Lana opened up to Cedric about her confusing feelings and asked for advice.

However their relationship took another toll, when Lana stole his key and signed off the Storybook of Legends as the next Lancelot. Now it was him cutting ties with Lana over her unforgiving betrayal.

### Mavilda Wickerbottom

Aside from all that, Lana also just finds Mavilda to be pretty rude: She calls her princess in a very condescending way - at least that's how Lana perceives it - she hardly ever acknowledges Lana's presence and never really speaks much to her aside from asking "can I borrow Mary from you real quick?" never awaiting much of an answer and just dragging Mary Lynn away from her. She is a bit too scared to bring it up to either of them that this bothers her a lot. She thinks all this would do is expose her jealousy and make her appear clingy, needy and possessive.

### Maven Le Fay, Nemesis

  Dialogue
**Lana Du Lac**: "*That's not true. You are lying.*"
**Maven Le Fay**: "*Okay. Whatever. You don't have to believe me.*"
**Lana Du Lac**: "*...even if it was true, people under a love spell cannot conceive. There is no way anyone but Arthur is my father!*"
**Maven Le Fay**: "*Look, I'm just sharing my new-found knowledge about OUR family with you. What you make with that information is up to you, Cousin.*"
**Lana Du Lac**: "*STOP calling me that.*"
**Maven Le Fay**: "*Yeah I really should. Since you aren't my cousin after all. You're not even a Pendragon. You are just a bastard child of a maid and a fraudulent knight.*"
— **Maven Le Fay** telling ****Lana Du Lac**** the truth about her heritage.
