Lana is also the wife of the Time Lord known as The Machinist.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Childhood

Lana Thuarra was born two to loving parents on the civilized planet of Azonidia, having a daily normal life on her planet. Her parents were named Jonica (Mother) and Farozi Thuarra (Father). Although her parents wished to have another child, Jonica was only able to have one due to the law at the time only allowing one child per family as a way to avoid overpopulation. It was always said that Lana’s sibling would’ve been a boy named Alex.

#### Education

Lana was brought into education at a fairly standard school at the age of 6, showing a natural talent for science and mathematics. She constantly came out at the top of her classes which led her to study the sciences more. Lana took a likening to Astrophysics specifically, wishing to pursue that area of science with her future. This led Lana to go through College and University in her home world at the top astrophysics schools in the galaxy. She passed all of the said schools with the top grades of the year.

### Science Career

#### Professor Thuarra

This eventually gave Lana the opportunity to become a Professor of astrophysics as she wrote a paper on Time-Space wormholes, an area she had a liking for. Lana discovered what she dubbed the “Quantum-Temporal Worm-Tunnel effect”, which is the chance that wormholes, if travelled through with the correct technology, could allow for people to navigate through them and allow them to reappear in a newly created wormhole at a chosen time and place. However, this was dubbed as nigh impossible to do and it was feared that it would cause a break in space-time. The Time Lords many centuries prior used this to figure out how to create TARDISes. This allowed Lana to become ‘Professor Lana Thuara’.

#### ASDP

Her career then went from strength to strength as she was allowed to be a part of the ASDP (Azonidia Space Development Program). This is an offer she accepted with haste as she was soon put to work. She was mentored by the leading scientists and engineers to understand not only more of the astronomical fields of science but also gain an extremely thorough understanding of the mechanics and engineering behind all of the ships she helped work on.

Lana was able to, after many years, use one of her deep space rockets she designed, known as the “T-M-3IC”, to go and investigate the parts of space the ASDP hadn’t discovered yet. She went alongside some of the scientists she’d worked with as well as some other experts in different fields. This is when Lana’s life would change…

### The Time Lord

#### Meeting the Gallifreyan

The Professor and her crew cruised through the galaxy, wanting to find everything they could, learn and explore. She grew close with her crew on the trip into space, learning so much so quickly and being able to teach others what they’d learnt. It was something Lana took pride in.

Unfortunately, tragedy would strike. One of the engines was rigged. No one knows who did it to this day, but all anyone knew was that by the time the first engine burst into an endless flurry of flames, it was already too late. The engine burst, taking a wall out with it, causing a few workers on the ship to fly out. The ship began to dive downward into the atmosphere of the planet it was above. The planet, according to the scanners, was uninhabited. But who knew if the scanners were even accurate? The whole ship could’ve been rigged!

As the ship began to nose dive, all systems shutting down leading to multiple casualties, Lana took the helm of the ship in an attempt to pilot it. She thought she could do it, she was hopeful even if it didn’t seem like the situation could be saved by hope. But sometimes, hope was all you needed.

Coming from the engine bays could be heard a wheezing. Almost like engines, but different. Like the breaks were still activated on whatever it was. Whatever it was, it couldn’t be Lana’s problem at the moment. She had to pilot the ship and the rest of the crew to safety. Suddenly, a buzzing could be heard before one of the doors shot open to reveal a lean middle-aged looking man in a black robe-like outfit, holding a red tipped sonic probe. The man stepped into the control room. He was their guardian angel. Hope.

The man stepped out, swiftly sliding next to Lana and assisting her with the piloting of the ship. “Who on Azonidia are you?” Lana questioned, the man replying with a simple: “How about we land the ship first, then we’ll talk details.”, although he came across as quite blunt, Lana complied realising it was rational. The man assisted Lana in landing on the planet, the man using his sonic device to alter the systems of Lana’s ship to improve them and allow for a safe landing.

BOOM! The ship crashed onto the planet, everyone who was still alive seemingly being safe. Lana and the man stepped forward to aid everyone off of the ship onto the green desert planet. Lana walked through the sand towards the man, a curious look on her face. She began to question him. They’d landed the ship after all, it was time to talk details. The man revealed his identity as “The Machinist”, A Time Lord, Time War Veteran and TARDIS engineer wanting merely to spend the rest of his life exploring, learning and maybe just helping a few lost souls along the way. The Time Lord then asked Lana’s name, Lana replying by remarking: “You got your own ship and we’ve got 6 stranded scientists with us. Let’s get them home, then we’ll talk details.”. The pair smirked, clearly having a clear understanding of each other straight away.

#### The Offer

The Machinist then led Lana and the other scientists to his TARDIS. It looked like a… Gas pump? It was weird. An odd design she’d never seen, only due to the fact it was a design from 1980s Earth. Entering the TARDIS all were amazed. It was bigger on the inside! Beautiful! The machine echoed at the Time Lord began to pilot it through the Time Vortex. While the other scientists were in more of a shocked state at what’d just occurred, Lana assisting them with their condition, she also kept a close eye on the man. He was interesting. And his knowledge was nothing but extraordinary. She watched him pilot the ship with ease. It looked so complicated yet he flew the ship with such style. A sight to behold.

The Time Lord eventually got them all back home to the ASDP Space Station on the planet of Azonidia. Lana was happy to see her home again but… she was slightly disappointed. It’d be years, decades until she could go back out on a mission to the stars. It was a shame, she did love exploring and chances are she’d never meet The Machinist again. But then the Time Lord walked over to her as the pair looked over the city. “So, what’s your name?” The Machinist asked. “Lana Thuarra. Well, Professor Lana Thuarra but I tend to drop the title. Don’t like sounding too important, y’know?” She replied, looking up at the man. “Well, Lana, How’d you like, well if you want - You want to take a trip?” The Time Lord asked, pointing to his TARDIS. Lana was left in almost shock. Why did he ask her? Was it because she was the one who piloted the ship? Did he see something in her? Who knew. All that she knew is that it was an offer she wasn’t willing to deny. From that day on, Lana and the Machinist would begin their trip travelling the stars of time and space.

### Star-Crossed Lovers

#### Bonds

As the two travelled together, they slowly began to become closer. Unlike anyone else the Machinist had travelled with, Lana had an extended life-span merely due to her people’s genetics. This meant they travelled together for a long, long time. These years allowed Lana and the Machinist to decide to form a friendship. A friendship that would grow closer and closer before it merged into becoming a relationship. The pair began to love each other, more practically everyday. The Machinist, after many years, then decided to purpose to Lana. Lana was full of emotion. But she knew her answer. She said yes! The two would marry and The Machinist took Lana to the famous “Singing Towers of Darillium” to spend a night of 24 years on the romantic planet for their honeymoon. Life was a dream for them both.

They travelled around the universe as well as time, learning about everything and everyone they could. The two even stopped off to educate too. In total they’d educated so many people it was more or less uncountable, unless you had a lot of time to spare to count. They were teachers of sorts now. Known in many worlds for their impeccable knowledge and their spread of it. And, from time to time, they were defenders. If they saw a problem they’d jump in to help no matter the risk. They never let anyone down. Not yet…

#### The Tragedy that Broke the Worlds

After 10 more years of traveling the couple visited the planet Salarius after being called via a major distress call. As they arrived they realised the planet was poisonous, causing anyone who came in contact with the air to gain a deadly virus known as the Acnossious virus. The Planet had gained this fatal airborne virus after a run in with another race known as the Zaknotions, who at the time were located on the planet Kandorazious. The Zaknotions believed in nothing but the fact of the Salarions to be evil, causing them to spread the virus around the planet.

Lana and The Machinist would work on a cure for months for the peaceful race, at the same time planning a peace treaty between the two races. They had even created a large dome-like shelter to keep the peaceful Salarions in, keeping them away from the virus using materials from within the TARDIS and it’s sonic-cone technology, but also materials and resources found on the planet. All seemed to be going perfectly until large battleships came over from the planet Kandorazious. The Zaknotions had grown tired of how slow the virus was taking to kill the race, so they engaged combat. Their first attack was ruthless. Lana as well as her husband knew that they had to stop the attack. Fast.

The Pair ran out of the dome in their protective hazmat suits and into the TARDIS, both then exclaiming to the other that they have to leave and keep safe - neither of them listening to one another due to their desperateness to save as many lives as possible. After minutes of trying to convince each other to leave and keep safe, the TARDIS was hit by a missile and threw both of them out of the doors of the ship and onto the planet surface. The Machinist quickly got up, not being damaged at all as he ran over to Lana to find that her visor had cracked and that the air was seeping inside, giving the professor the virus.

Lana’s Husband panicked as he brought his dying wife to the TARDIS and attempted to heal her with first, his regeneration energy and then, the cure they were developing - nothing was working. The virus was eating away at Lana faster than anything could cure her, her extended lifespan not doing anything for her body either. She was truly dying.

The Machinist kept trying, knowing deep down nothing would work but using everything he could think of but nothing was working. The Machinist held Lana in his arms on the floor of the TARDIS as she attempted to speak: “...”, but nothing came out of her mouth. Her eyelids lowered as her heart beat came to a halt. Her husband held her body… Not saying a word… Before in pure rage he did the unthinkable… Genocide. He killed both species. To him it was their fault. They took his wife away. His only love, his only family. She was gone… And it broke him...

Meanwhile, Lana’s consciousness seemed to unknowingly interact with the TARDIS. Unknown to the Machinist. It was odd for Lana. She could feel it, she was alive but- dead. She knew what the Machinist had done and it broke her heart but she couldn’t do a thing… She was dead… Or was she...?

### The Phantom Pain

#### Arriving within the Time Lord Matrix

Lana awoke. Everything was dark. It was if she’d travelled through the time vortex and then into... nothing… Was this Hell? Heaven? The stories made it sound so much more… nice? Was that the word? The darkness was certainly peaceful. But it was lonely. Who knew how long she’d been there. She couldn’t tell herself. She didn’t even seem to have a body. She just- existed.

Suddenly, there was a light. A bright white light. What was it? It was odd to see, considering she didn’t have a body. It was like her subconscious saw it. Lana approached it, faster and faster before she appeared in another black area with white lines around. The thought to herself. With how time worked there, no one could be sure how long she was thinking for. But then it clicked. She was in The Matrix of Time! How’d she get here? She could remember everything so clearly now… The TARDIS? It must’ve saved her consciousness? But why? The TARDIS must’ve known something was to happen that needed to keep her alive… but what?

#### Seeing Change

Lana spent many years within the Matrix. Or so she assumed, she’d had no idea how long specifically. She’d learnt so much. All about Time Lord civilization. The Time War. A mysterious hero named the Doctor saving the universe from the Time War, twice! The history was incredible! Fascinating! She even got the chance to see her Husband. Oh how she missed him. She saw him growing up, all the mischief he got into. It was heartwarming to her. To see her young faced husband yet again. It was all she had left… or so she thought.

At some point during this time, Lana began to leave the Matrix. In an instant, or even less for that matter, she appeared in a familiar place. The TARDIS! The TARDIS she’d died in, her husband's TARDIS! Was she alive? Was she back? Lana looked around to see two men. One on the floor, the other standing nearby, seemingly tending to the man on the floor. As Lana focussed on their faces, she began to realise who they were. The elderly man on the floor was… The Machinist. Her Husband. He was older, weary. Lana also looked to the other man. No one she’d seen before… Except… The Matrix! It was a Time Lord she’d seen from there! But what was his name? The Protector! That was it! Two Time Lords in the same TARDIS! It was a sight to see, especially after learning more of the Time War.

Lana attempted to move forward. But… she couldn’t. Why? She looked down at herself to see that she was almost transparent. Ghost like. A Phantom. She looked back up and reached out over to The Machinist. She could feel his thoughts. He… No… He couldn’t. He wanted to die… Why would she be shown this?! Who was doing this to her? The feeling she felt inside was breaking her but her body couldn’t shed a tear… It was ripping her apart from the inside. The Machinist seemingly hadn’t gotten over Lana’s death. Lana called out to him, and only him… The Machinist then turned to see her. He- he could see her. He didn’t dare move. A tear formed in his eye as it made its way down his wrinkled cheek like a river. He hadn’t seen his beloved in centuries. He knew she was merely a projection. She must’ve had something to say?

Lana felt like she had to speak. Give him hope. Bring him back to the man he once was. She could feel her time was running short and if the Machinist died, that was it… Lana spoke a few mere words, but they made all the difference to the dying Time Lord: “It’s okay… I promise. Live your lives. Help others. I’ll always be here. When you need me...!” Lana wanted to cry. She could see The Machinist felt the exact same, but he stood, still looking at Lana. More tears appeared on his face as his hands began to glow. Regeneration Energy! He was doing it! It’d worked! Somehow, it worked! The Machinist was filled with a new hope. All it took was a few mere words. Her Husband then burst into flames. The TARDIS was destroyed as he regenerated. Through the destruction, it was something she’d wanted to see. Her Husband would live on. And it was all she needed before she slowly faded back into the Matrix.

### Revitalization

#### The Master

Lana lived in the Matrix now. A part of it. God knows how long she’d been there. Weeks? Months? Years? Decades? Centuries? Millennia? Who knew? But she didn’t care. She was at peace with herself. She’d allowed The Machinist to live on and that was all that mattered.

Lana rested and learnt all she could. Eventually she could… feel something. Like a slight pain… She wasn’t alone? She knew she wasn’t but it was odd feeling someone else’s presence. She scanned through the entire matrix, searching for what it could be. She then saw the face. That face. That soul. It was filled with rage. Hatred. Anger. Jealousy. She’d read about this man, and learned about him. He was the definition of hatred, evil, ruthlessness, destruction. He was the man who killed the legendary Doctor many a time, the man who knocked four times. He was… The Master.

Lana didn’t know why the Master was there, but she knew it was nothing good. She could feel the Matrix and all of the red planet for that matter being destroyed. Ripped apart. The planet was being blown to ash. It hurt. She was one with the Matrix, fully integrated. And it hurt. It felt like dying again. Eventually after minutes of pain her sight went black…

#### Life Once More

Lana’s eyes shot open. She felt cold, her bare back on what felt like a metal plate. She had a sheet over her head, her body felt frozen as she laid on whatever it was she’d been placed on. She reached up to her face as she removed the sheet, looking up at a blinding white light. Leaning upwards and hanging her legs down, she noticed a small tag on her right foot reading her name and a date and time that’d been smudged. Her face was confused to say the least.

Lana stood up, managing to hold herself on her feet, barely. She wrapped the sheet that was around her around her body as to cover up and began to make her way through the freezer of a room she awoke in. It was nice to be back in her body, sure. But she’d like to know where she was. As she made her way through the area, it seemed to be something of a morgue. The woman walked through before reaching a door with an eerily familiar design.

Lana knocked on the large slider door. No reply. She then opened it, slowly, as she felt the warm air from the new room she’d entered. A few doctors stood, startled before one of them fainted. Lana was tired, the doctors looking like they’d seen a ghost. Was she a ghost again? Nope, real body. “I take it the walking dead doesn’t occur much here, does it?” She remarked to the doctors with a slight smile in her face before they all rapidly ran from the room, scared, leaning the single fainted doctor.

Lana went over to the doctor as she took the man’s ID badge and read it: ‘Azonidia Court National Hospital’? That was the best hospital on her home planet. She must be back there… Is this where the Machinist took her when she died? Back home? She thought of it, appreciating the actions of her husband whom she hadn’t laid eyes on in centuries, or so it felt like.

Lana began to make her way through the hospital, looking around for everyone. She glanced out of a window to see her home planet. Dark, the city lights shining. Just like she remembered. Even though she loved to travel, being home was nice. Familiar. Calm. Lana eventually made her way to what seemed like some kind of safe room. Literally, a room filled with large silver safes filled with people’s possessions. Lana strolled down the isles of metal containers, still merely in a sheet and frankly getting quite cold. Lana eventually found one marked “Prof. L Thuarra”. Aha, she’d found it. “Now to guess the code...” she thought to herself before inputting a few random sequences. Nothing. Then Lana stood, thinking. ‘636206‘. TSSHH. The safe opened. Of course they’d use her old locker password. She’s lucky she still remembered it!

Lana searched through the safe as she changed into her usual clothing of a blue dress-like robe, a Time Lord design she was fond of. Lana then took all of her belongings, putting them all in a bag of sorts as she put that over her shoulder, the bag’s strap going across her chest as the bag itself hung patiently on her right side. However she soon scrambled in the bag for one item. A Time Lord ring. She looked at it, cracking a smile of both happiness and heartbreak. She then slid the ring on her ring-finger as she took a breath in. She was alive again. Who knew what did it, who did it or why it happened. Maybe it was a coincidence? Maybe it was destiny, if there even is such a thing. Or maybe it didn’t matter. Lana thought that she was alive for a reason, and she was determined on finding it.

Lana walked out as she began to find her old work, still knowing the streets like the back of her hand. Lana reached the work and, through talking and being able to prove she was indeed alive once again, she began to carry on work there. She thought the only way to get to her answer was the same way she found what she needed last time. Searching the stars. But what Lana didn’t know was that her new future was already coming to her…

### Look for the Stars, for Hope burns bright

#### The Blue Ring

Lana sat in her work office. Being back in the ASDP and with her new found knowledge thanks to her travels with a Time Lord and knowledge of the Time Lord Matrix of which she still retained it all due to her nigh photography memory, Lana was given a higher position to help them through their research, trusting her to help develop the ASDP to greater lengths for good, something she was hopeful of doing.

She was at her computer, going about her day to day life. Thinking that one day she’d be able to find what she was looking for and maybe, just maybe, see her Husband once again…

CRASH! Suddenly a small blue object shattered through the window behind her and forward in front of her. Lana jumped up and, unlike others who’d have ran, she stayed calm. It was fascinating. The Professor slowly walked over as she inspected the ring. What was it? Something akin to a Lantern Corps ring. Like the Green Lanterns but… blue? Odd. But interesting.

The ring began to flash before it began transmitting words: “Professor Lana Thuarra, age 265, a scientist of Azonidia, Wife to the Time Lord known as The Machinist. We wish to summon you to Odym, to the Blue Lantern Corps.” Lana took a step back. Was this it? The Blue Lanterns. Lana instantly agreed as the ring formed a bubble around her before transporting her to the planet of Odym.

#### Planet of Hope

Lana eventually arrived on the planet. She looked around in awe. It was beautiful! The trees, the grass, the ground. All a beautiful shade of blue, akin to her own dress and eyes. She seemed to fit in already! The woman then looked down at her hand. The ring was already on her right hand, middle finger. Interesting. She could feel a connection to it. A mental connection. The ring seemed to work from concentration. Interesting indeed. Lana was curious to learn more as she began to walk around the planet.

Lana eventually came across a group of what appeared to be Blue Lanterns, one of which being a plain white alien as they turned to her and greeting her politely, introducing himself as Saint Walker, a name she’d remember.

Saint went on to explain everything to Lana. The Blue Lantern Corps, who they were, what they stood for, what they could do and especially, why Lana was chosen. Lana listened carefully, taking in every piece of information with a keen eye. Lana was filled with joy to know she was so full of hope, so good, that she’d be offered a ring like this. Lana then paid more attention to any word Walker had said: “You were able to give Hope to a war criminal. A man who’d fought in the Time War, lost the one he loved, commited double genocide and a man who wanted to die for all of his wrong doings. You gave that man hope. Made him good again. If anyone in the galaxy deserves one of these rings, it’s you, Lana.”

Lana smiled warmly. She could feel a tear of emotion appearing in her eye. Not of sadness alone, nor happiness, nor hope. But all at once. She looked down at the ring as it glowed a bright blue, as did her eyes. A Blue Lantern suit then formed around her as she looked down at Saint Walker. She was ready to start her journey as a Blue Lantern. “Where do I start?”

Saint Walker would then from that day train Lana in the ways of the Blue Lantern for years before she was as good as she possibly could be, one of the IF not the most powerful Blue Lantern there was. Lana was proud and hopeful of her past and future. It was here then she bid farewell to Odym and she began her new career as a Blue Lantern.

### Present Time

Currently, Lana does what she did before. Travelled the stars, learning and educating as well as saving a life or two if at all possible. She hopes to travel the stars, helping as many as possible and one day, just maybe, running into her Husband once again whom she could feel was alive. Lana was the most powerful Blue Lantern, so using her power and extreme intelligence, she serves as a hero of the universe and will for years to come!
