## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Seong Mi-na**, Growing up in the famous Korean Seong Dojang headed by her father, Seong Han-myeong, Mi-na had always been surrounded by weapons, many of which she learned to use quite well, even surpassing her father with the wol-do. However, her looks led the local boys to kiss her and call her more than a striking girl, an image supported by her father who wanted her to settle down and marry a suitor, preferably Hwang Seong-gyeong, whom Han-myeong had personally wanted to adopt into the family. Facing increasing incursions from Japanese raiders, a coast guard was quickly formed and led by Yi Soon Shin, her father's childhood friend, with Mi-na desperate to join in the military; but she was denied from the military on account of her gender. Overhearing rumors of Soul Edge, deemed the "Sword of Salvation", while eavesdropping on a private conversation between her father and Hwang, she decided that if she would not be able to prove herself in the coastal military, she could just as easily prove herself by finding the fabled sword for her country. This prompted her to pack her belongings and run away from home, not knowing that Hwang had already been sent out on his own official quest for the weapon.

She is known for her upbeat personality and nature. She has a notable connection to Yun-Seong as well as Talim. She is close friends with Hwang.

### Appearance

She has dark brown hair, rosy pale skin, light amber brown eyes, a physically built body and is taller than most Korean women from her time period. She also wears a bra top and a loincloth reaching down to her shins.

### Personality

Seong Mi-na is a strong-willed girl who is always striving to be the best she is. Though stubborn about this, she also has a quick wit. She's very determined, but sometimes overly confident in her skills, often mocking her opponents. Due to her inferiority complex, Seong Mi-na dislikes it when anyone views her as weak or helpless, basically not wanting to be treated like a kid.

### Relationships

#### **Hwang**

A friend of hers during her life. She was rescued and was brought home twice. Supposedly engaged to marry him according to Seong Han-myeong, but she rejected the idea and saw Hwang as nothing more than a friend.

#### **Yun-seong**

A Friend of Yun-seong. She's one of his instructors of his trainings, and worries for him as he searched for Soul Edge.

#### **Talim**

Seong Mi-na is a good friend of Talim, as well as her traveling companion.

#### **Ivy Valentine**

Self-proclaimed rival of Ivy Valentine after losing to her. Seong Mi-na encountered Ivy, who easily insulted her for her lack of knowledge of the sword's evil nature. Enraged for also being called a child, Seong Mi-na fought Ivy but was soundly defeated. Despite showing resilience, she could not get a rematch as Ivy left for her own journey.

#### **Taki**

Seong Mi-na had encounter her during on of her journeys. She had an inferiority complex due to Taki's 'assets'.

## Abilities

Seong Mi-na fights with a halberd pole type weapon, called a wol do (Korean), guan dao (Chinese), naginata (Japanese), or zanbatou (in-game), and thus benefits from maximum spacing between herself and her opponent.

This zanbatou has been passed down through the Seong family from generation to generation. As its appearance implies, it is quite heavy. Despite its weight, Seong Mi-na, who as a child swung Scarlet Thunder instead of playing with toys, finds it extremely easy to use.

Her choice to bring the zanbatou with her when she left home was likely not to raise the ire of her father over taking the family heirloom, Rather, it’s far more probable that she chose the weapon simply because she was so used to having it by her side. Scarlet Thunder was simply the most dependable traveling companion Seong Mi-na could have chosen.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **New Seong Style: Scarlet Meteor; "Seong Scarlet Lightning"**

Seong Mi-na knocks her opponent down, then slashes her opponent up. She then juggles them by spinning herself and her blade, generating a cyclone, and charges the blade before finishing them with another strike that also summons lightning from the ground.
