Lasanne is a Pokemon character that appears in Pokemon: Beginnings. She is a lone assassin hired by Senior Head Barbeque of the Dirty Delinquents to kill Moody and Zamenza, both of whom were the major enemies amongst the organization. Her first appearance was in Chapter 34, where she snuck onboard Ogre Darner to be accepted by Senior Head Barbeque and Brigadier Lee Way. Later on in Chapter 62, it is revealed that she is a student of the Organ School in which she trained under Master Organ himself. She is also considered to be the younger sister of Lisanne, whose appearance is that of the modern Swadloon of the Leavanny family.

## Physical Appearance

Lasanne appears as a Swadloon with a regional difference. Unlike the Swadloon who wear leaf coats, Lasanne's species wears cloaks. For her, she has on a lavender cloak with a pinkish face and red eyes. The ends of the cloak, along with the side parts of her face being obscured by said cloak is a deep purple.

## Origin of Name

Lasanne's name comes from "la", which is the low undertone opposite of her sister Lisanne.

## Development

Lasanne was inspired by Tao Pai Pai from the original Dragon Ball series. Unlike Tao, Lasanne uses a large rock for her travel.

## Personality

Lasanne comes off as being flat, even responding in such a way. She is unfazed by many things, which are traits of an assassin as she isn't bothered by the sight of corpses, even blood. However, she has an obsession with corpses as she likes to take it and see what they are worth. An example is when she, Barbeque and Lee Way came across the late Doctor Sorbet's body, she wanted to keep it for herself as a "souvenir" before Barbeque interjects. If anything, she was also going to examine Barbeque's "corpse" after he was knocked out by the double Zap Cannons. When tested of her patience, she can be furious up until a certain point. For some strange reason, she dislikes flying, especially on the back of other Pokemon, so she tends to use a large rock for travel.

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

* **Foresight** - Fires a white beam that reveals a Ghost type's body. She used this on Chief Naidu for an advantage.
* **Headbutt** - Leans back, then slams her head forward. She used this on Happy on their first encounter.
* **Guillotine** - Fatally slices an opponent, possibly a head, a limb, or a body in half. She used this on a wild Spiribok to kill it, keeping its head to sell for a price.
* **Seed Bomb** - Fires a bomb-loaded seed that explodes. Used it on Happy, only for it to backfire on her.
* **Devious Ray** - One of the signature moves of the Organ School. Being a Dark type move, the user fires a red ray at a target.

There is a move that she uses called "Shadow Step", which isn't really classified as one, but allows her to move quick like the shadows, mostly for escape. Said move could be one of her assassin techniques.

### Abilities

Lasanne possesses incredible strength, capable of lifting and tossing a rock twice her size, as well as being adept in her assassin skills. She can use her arm-like drapes to deliver stabs as if they were daggers capable of breaking things like nothing, and has a form of resilience as she was capable of not only enduring super effective Fire type moves from Chief Naidu, but also from Zamenza's Fire Blast. Her natural ability is Sniper, which boosts the power of moves when they become critical hits. In addition to this, she targets specific parts that can be fatal to a Pokemon, even using a small rock to pierce through a Pokemon's body. Being part Dark type, it allows her to resist Psychic type moves completely.

## Trivia

* As Lasanne is different from the modern version of Swadloon, if she was in a mainline game, her other ability would be Overcoat, and her hidden ability would be Super Luck. Given this, her abilities are assassin-based, which fits the theme of her line.
