Lana is a lifelong sailor from Lemuria. Some circumstances made her leave her homeland and sail around the world on her own. During her journey she meets many people and learns about other cultures and is curious about everything. 

Abilities: Life lessons at sea showed her how to cope with many things alone. Depending on the situation, Lana wields light blades, polearms and magic staves, though she's a warrior type and is not an expert in using different casts but her own Psynergy as Mercury Adept. Her favorites are long-range weapons like: chakrams - easy to carry and quick to draw, and glaives /naginatas - when engaged in close combat. Lana's strong points are: Attack, Agility, balanced HP and PP. 

Appearance: Quite tall and physically strong, has some muscles hiding under the covers of clothing.  She has naturally a light complexion but got tanned a little from being a mariner. Lana has a long, turquoise hair, tied at the back the original way and her eyes are yellow. The colors of her outfit are dominated with dark amaranth. Other colors include shades of yellow, brown and blue, from dark to light tones. Her clothing is quite unusual even as for Lemurian, wearing layered sailor robes, long boots and veils, which one of them attached to her waist belt. When it gets colder, she changes her shorts (it's not a mini skirt!) to trousers and covers her head with a headgear.

Personality: She is a determined and free-spirited type, who isn't weighed down easily by life’s adversities. A restless soul, looking for the bigger adventure. Lana is kindhearted, outgoing, and communicative but when pushed too far, loses her temper and acts impulsively. She is a woman of action who prefers to do things rather than discuss them.

Biography(before the game story): Lana comes from Lemuria, the home of the ancient civilization, hidden from the outside world on a fog-shrouded island located in The Great Eastern Sea. It's known that people of Lemuria age very slowly and that's why Lana appears to be a young woman but is much older than she looks for real. She was born a Mercury Adept and like all Lemurians has the characteristic turquoise hair, though Lana's hair is a one shade lighter and her eyes are yellow since the rest of Lemurian people have blue eyes.

She once had both of parents and lived happily but one day her father disappeared on his last sea expedition together with Piers' father. After that incident, Lana's mother and Piers' mother raised their children together, supporting each other and trying to manage with everything without their beloved men. That's when Lana and Piers became like real sister and brother and did everything together.

It was not easy for Lana to accept the fact that her father died at sea but she never lost her determination to see the world. Piers became more timid in nature after losing his father and didn't share the enthusiasm for sailing expeditions but Lana was the one who encouraged him to realize dreams and to never be afraid to aim high. Over time, their common goal was to become great sailors and leave Lemuria to see the outside world. Things got more complicated after the Senate passed a law that forbids Lemurians from leaving but it didn't stop our heroes from continuing what they started..

In Golden Sun: the Lost Age: Lana spends her time sailing together with her childhood friend and preparing for their escape. They know that the most difficult part is to break through the Sea of Time, the dangerous waters that surround Lemuria, full of whirlpools, treacherous currents and rock crags, so everything must be signed and sealed. 

They're almost ready to realize their dream but Piers seems to delay the voyage. Lana feels that something is in the air but she also knows that he is a type who must have all things settled, so she doesn't mind to wait a little longer. He possibly worries about his mother who was born with a weak heart, but after all, she won't be alone because Piers' uncle and Lana's mother will be with her. Besides, they don't leave Lemuria forever and according to plan, they'll return after seeing the world.

One day though, Piers doesn't appear at their usual meeting place and Lana finds that his ship is not docked in the harbor. She decides to see what happened and shoves off. Followed by her intuition, she sails to the main sea entrance of Lemuria, an area of their earlier investigations, only to catch sight of Piers' ship being washed away by a tidal wave on the horizon. Without a second thought , Lana moves to action and rushes to help him but she gets carried along by currents too..

Her ship is driven far off course and she finds herself in the outside world. Lana initially feels unsure and disoriented but then she realizes the situation. Her dream has come true, she is outside Lemuria and can freely explore Weyard! Lana's excitement quickly mixes with fear when the ship is attacked by a horde of monsters and she is forced to dock at the unknown seaside. She'll certainly have an unforgettable experience.

Everything is new to her, the languages that everyone shares, cultures and local customs. During her journey  Lana meets new people, other Adepts and unusual creatures. She is known for her singing performances which mesmerize the audience and is welcomed everywhere. Because she used to live in Lemuria her whole life, she makes acquaintances without any prejudices and keeps on getting dragged into many adventures.

It's not that she's forgotten about her home and Piers. Lana often thinks if everything is fine with their mothers and wonders what happened to her childhood friend. She even tries to return to Lemuria and navigate through the Sea of Time but a powerful demigod stands in her way. Lana is stuck in the outside world and can't do anything about it..

No more spoilers from now on!
