General Information A truly romantic adventurer, Lana Mian is the product of controversy, secrecy, and the careful tutelage of her noble step father, Fleurent de Gisoreux. After many years of serving as a lowly house servant, the time would finally come for the young lady to follow Fleurent's bold footsteps while staying true to the teachings of chivalry and genuine justice that he had instilled in her. Donned in Fluerent's gleaming white armor and heraldic crimson cloth, she picks up both sword and shield to venture beyond the frozen lands of Coerthas she called home to partake in deeds that would see the memory of her beloved father honored. She is desperately saving any gil earnings in the hopes of financially rescuing her stranded mother from the bleak and discriminatory streets of the Brume. Appearance

History The story of Lana Mian's life humbly begins within an isolated Keepers of the Moon Miqo'te tribe struggling to make a living near the border of the South Shroud. The little Miqo'te child would never see much of her biological father who traditionally wandered from tribe to tribe. Lana's mother was a rather cultured individual compared to her peers as she often was the one to interact with travelers and trade with nearby settlements. When the 7th Umbral Calamity inevitably brought Eorzea to her knees, Lana's tribe was ravaged by the destructive flames that followed. Many members of the community were outright killed and their establishment was ruined but before any harm could come to Lana she was grabbed by her mother and the two quickly fled the forest, narrowly escaping the chaos.
The duo would flee into the scorching sands of the Sultanate, undertaking a long and arduous journey through Eastern Thanalan to become just another pair of hopeless refugees begging for Ul'dahn care. Kira and Lana followed the desert road for what had felt like ages until suddenly, a band of vicious Amalj'aa raiders emerged in ambush. Kira's desperate pleas for help seemingly fell on empty ears as the towering beast-men slowly approached. Moments before large sweaty reptilian hands could snatch the helpless Miqo'tes, the savages were interrupted by the timely arrival of a mysterious knight and a fierce battle ensued. A young Lana watched in awe as the knight slew beast after beast until the rest decided to route. Although the violence was as appalling to her as one might expect to a child of her age, the valor she witnessed today would inspire her for years to come. When the conflict was over, Lana and Kira sincerely thanked the brave knight and politely wished to learn their savior's name. As the knight removed his helmet he introduced himself to be an Ishgardian adventurer of the name Ser Fluerent de Gisoreux. As soon as he finished greeting the troubled maiden, Fluerent violently grunted in pain, placing his hand on his waist and revealing a hidden injury. Kira was puzzled at first, seeing how the heavily armored Elezen was untouchable mere moments ago, but upon further inspection she could see the burnt scars and scratches on his armor and the weariness on his face. Fluerent begrudgingly paid for a room after Kira convinced him to let her try to heal his wounds at the nearest inn. As Kira helped to remove his chest armor, Fleurent began to explain the origin of his injury. The weary knight began with the battle of Cartenaeu, where he joined the Alliance forces as part of one of the Immortal Flames' adventurer units against the VIIth Imperial Legion of the Garlean Empire. His voice cracked with dread as he described the bloodshed that followed the clashing of armies. When the moon Dalamund fell and Bahamut's wrath was unleashed upon the continent, Fluerent became separated from enemy and comrade alike before being violently thrown by a nearby explosion. His ironclad armor just barely protected him from the initial blast and any subsequent shrapnel flying his way but one of his ribs were cracked on impact, resulting in internal bleeding. Finally when he was able to stand back up on his feet the fighting was decisively over, with the soldiers from both sides fleeing for their lives as more explosions erupted across the battlefield. Fluerent was one of the last to withdraw in time to escape the carnage and decided to return to Ul'dah on his own until he encountered Kira and Lana Mian. Kira and Lana were staggered by the knight's story and might have been skeptical if a similar fate didn't befell their tribe not long ago. Lana's mother began to describe the events that transpired on her and her daughter's end but broke down crying. Fluerent comforted the woman in his embrace and the trio would spend the night mourning over the losses they each witnessed. The next day Kira put her conjury skills to the test and healed Fluerent's internal wounds. The process took several days to complete and ~ Fluerent was very pleased to see himself restored to good health. Before taking his leave he gave Kira a hug and a handsome amount of money to compensate and patted Lana on the head. Fluerent thought himself righteous to give the lady extra gil out of sympathy for the refugee's plight but subconsciously there was another reason, one that the noble Ishgardian blood in him wasn't ready to accept just yet... Kira was open-mouthed and speechless as she counted the amount of gil Fluerent had given her. With this money, Kira was even able to rent a tiny apartment right here in the same town. Life in a glorified shack would prove trying but Kira was accustomed to hard living and strived to make the best of things, becoming sort of the go-to medical expert in the small settlement. Lana would try to help her mother the best she could but at such a young age, was not much use other than an occasional assistant. Days started turning into weeks for Lana until one day she saw Ser Fluerent riding into town, but this time his armor gloriously gleamed steel white in the light of the desert sun. Lana and Kira rushed outside to greet their hero. Kira immediately hugged him and thanked him graciously for the financial support but Fluerent had little time for pleasantries at the moment. He motioned to the man lying motionlessly in the back of his plated chocobo and requested medical treatment. Kira Obliged and thus began the first exchange in what would become a fruitful partnership between the two adults. Fluerent would quest and adventure around Thanalan and whenever he or someone he rescues needs medical treatment, he seeks the restorative care of Kira. With every interaction between the two, Fluerent's inner conflict grew. The look of joy on Kira's face every time he arrived and the loveliness he felt from her hugs was becoming too much for him to bear. He decided to buy Kira some nice clothes and take her on a date to one of the finer Ul'dahn restaurants. Kira was in utter disbelief. She had faith that Menphina would deliver her from the lonely depths of poverty and into the arms of gallant noble! Kira had harbored feelings for Fluerent since first the night at the inn but...she was nobody, just a helpless refugee who wasn't good enough for the likes of him. /div>
