## Physical description

### Portrayed by:

Lyrica Okano

Lana is the fraternal twin daughter of Olivia Ryder and Ethan Riddic. Olivia was pregnant with triplets, but due to being injured, one of the triplets died in the womb. Her twin brother Vincent inherited more of the Furyan physical aspects, whereas she had more of Olivia's Pacific Islander, although her eyes are naturally silver hued, but Monica Vinelli had them dyed to a more 'normal' dark brown during the time she kept Lana and had her age accelerated.

Lana and Vin spent a lot of time living with Tess and Leo Ryder when Olivia was on missions. Olivia, unfortunately, was set up by the Ajem'dasis Masters Fred and Victoria Underwood as a means to undermine the Ryder family as well as keep the Intelligence community in disarray and Olivia had briefly lost custody of her twins. Thankfully Tess and Leo had agreed to foster them until they could return home.

Around her third birthday, Lana was taken and sold by the Ajem'dasis to an insane fashion designer rival of her aunt, Monica Vinelli. Nearly a year had passed she had been aged physically about 13 years, but retaining her 3 year old mentality, Lana was to be both one of Vinelli's models, as well as used as a sex slave, but Olivia and Aimee Sandoval with the help of Kat Donovan, a former Ajem'dasis, managed to rescue her after months of searching.

Her rescue prompted her mother to give up the 'spy game' and raise her now teenaged daughter and pre-school aged son. Lana had been given some telepathic 'tutoring' by her uncle Jack Ryder to at least catch her up to her physical age. Being a Ryder girl, she was naturally a quick learner and fast became more than simply a teenager with a four year old's mind. Finding friendship in her cousin Trinity's husband Ethan over their shared experience as prisoners.

Since her rescue she began performing with her mother and 'Aunties' with the Mata Hari's, even doing some of her own gigs here and there. Her singing voice and telepathically implanted talent with a keyboard made her one a rising star, even if only of the 'bar band' set. While her mind is mostly caught up to her physical body, she still has a very child like approach to most things. Which she mostly tries to do to keep her mother from feeling like she 'lost' her baby girl. Lana is extremely close to her family and typically if they're even slightly related to them, she trusts them. After her kidnapping she had developed a sort of 'stranger danger' feeling, but as she's realizing looking like a roughly 17 year old, attractive girl with musical talent, that's not the worst thing to have.

Possible Future Timeline

Lana was the 'big sister' to the Talon and Sandoval Twins. As such she tried to be there as much as she could, despite pursuing a musical career with her mother. Starting out on keyboards and backing vocals in the Mata Hari band, she eventually went solo. Even formed her own band 'The Brats' with a few other kids of other Alliance Navy officers. Creating her own little nest egg, she bought the condo that originally belonged to former President Jon Price. Even having a 20% stake in a small music store that another friend of the family opened. With her family's history in intelligence, she got roped into some covert spy work during her tours and often worked with other agents as part of her 'road crew' or backing band.

Eventually she took to training with the Jase'dasis, but her lifestyle didn't quite mesh with the Jase'dasis and simply remained an ally of the Jase'dasis and helped with training and support. Un-Officially, she works for Alliance SHIELD with her 'Momma' Kirby who took over as Director after Nicole Decker stood down and took another position within the Alliance government.

   Lana has remained single, only really dating men briefly, but still has issues from her past that resurface and considers it unlikely that she'll ever really get married. Which does suit her just fine.
