Meganekko is no longer a trope. It's a Fanspeak term. Moving wicks to Bespectacled Cutie when appropriate.


* {{Meganekko}}: She wears super-thick glasses after halfway through ''Redeemer''. After having gone without them for such a long time, putting them on for the first time in decades is disorienting to the point of causing headaches.

Brown Eyes is no longer a trope


* BrownEyes: According to Tapp's RGB scan reading of her eye color.

None


* LimitedWardrobe: Though not dwelled on extensively before ''Redeemer'', Lana doesn't have very many different kinds of outfits. And this was ''before'' the lycanthropes attacked.

* ComplimentBackfire: Lana commonly responds to compliments with threats of violence, such as Kurias deducing that she [[spoilerwas once a princess]], or her threatening Tapp with [[AssShove shoving Sheol where the sun don't shine]] if he says anything about her [[TheGlassesGottaGo pretty eyes]].

Voidwalker Lana:
* BlindWithoutEm: While Lana was able to adapt well enough to life without her glasses, she has a hard time making out precise details. By the time she finds some, she finally realizes that she had somehow lost a shoe at some point.
* BrokenBird: A textbook case, having lost her home and family at a very young age, by voidwalker standards.
* BrownEyes: According to Tapp's RGB scan reading of her eye color.
* ButYourWingsAreBeautiful: Lana doesn't care much for her [[spoiler:Khraaya-S'rraen-grown wings (largely because they're [[PainfulTransformation excruciatingly painful coming in]])]], but Tapp finds them fascinating.
* ComplimentBackfire: Lana commonly responds to compliments with threats of violence, such as Kurias deducing that she [[spoilerwas once a princess]], or her threatening Tapp with [[AssShove shoving Sheol where the sun don't shine]] if he says anything about her [[TheGlassesGottaGo pretty eyes]].
* CompositeCharacter: Lana shares at least one character trait from each member of her Redeemer family: Kahad's aggression and bluntness, Sierra's bravery and laid back attitude, M'yaka's motherly compassion, and Matthias' sense of justice.
* CurtainsMatchTheDrapes
* [[spoiler:FallenPrincess]]: Cyrus refers to Lana as [[spoiler:"a bona fide princess"]], though she clearly isn't one anymore. Kurias further implies that Lana's zk'tu name could imply [[spoiler:royalty]].
* TheGlassesComeOff: Once she wields [[spoiler:Khraaya-S'rraen]], it heals her otherwise terrible eyes, which makes her glasses suddenly highly disorienting.
* HotBlade: Sheol. [[spoiler:In contrast to its otherwise identical twin, [[BlackSwordsAreBetter Gehenna]].]]
* InsultOfEndearment: Lana calling Tapp a "jackass", along with various other Tapp-directed insults.
* ItWasAGift: Her red jacket, supposedly custom-made for her by [[PapaWolf Matthias]].
* [[SirSwearsALot Lady Swears-A-Lot]]: So much that Tapp and Kurias start picking it up.
** At one point, Angel quoted an outburst that Lana made.
--->Cyrus: "F-ing?"
--->Angel: [[{{Bowdlerize}} "I'm paraphrasing a bit."]]
* LimitedWardrobe: Though not dwelled on extensively before ''Redeemer'', Lana doesn't have very many different kinds of outfits. And this was ''before'' the lycanthropes attacked.
* {{Meganekko}}: She wears super-thick glasses after halfway through ''Redeemer''. After having gone without them for such a long time, putting them on for the first time in decades is disorienting to the point of causing headaches.
* MemeticOutfit: Her red jacket.
* MenDontCry: A rare female example, but played out the same way.
* MyNaymeIs: A [[BlackSpeech zk'tu]] version. As a child, Lana couldn't pronounce her zk'tu name of Iyaa'na, instead calling herself "Lana" until it stuck.
* OnlySaneMan: Tapp recounts Lana making speeches to this effect:
-->"When Lana was around, even as much of a pain as Angel was, and even as much as Lana admitted to this, she would still stick up for Angel when she cried, all while wondering quite publicly what kind of monster he was for supposedly causing such an infantile outburst, only to then question whose outburst was actually the more infantile, followed by an extended rant on being the sole proprietor of sanity on the Infinity Bridge, after which he would summarily ignore her until she settled down or made a relevant strategic observation."
-->--''Science and Sorcery: Fish in a Barrel''
* ReallySeventeenYearsOld: For a voidwalker as adult as Lana appears, she's only about half a century old. By voidwalkers' standards, this makes her the effective age of a four-year-old.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: The reason Lana ultimately chooses to follow Tapp by the end of ''Redeemer''. When Matthias confronts her about this, Lana tells him that he taught her to fight for what she believed in.
* TheSixthRanger: To her family in Redeemer.
* UsedToBeASweetKid
* TenMinuteRetirement: Between ''Fish in a Barrel'' and ''Redeemer''.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Lana doesn't even want ''the reader'' to catch her crying.
--> "Lana gasped in shock and shook her head in disbelief, sure. Maybe even smiled a little. Anybody would. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial But she didn’t suddenly start welling up waterworks and sobbing with joy like she had just found the favorite toy she never owned stashed away in a closet like a birthday present with a “from” label implicating the giver as the most aloof, detached, uncaring jackass of a parental figure you could possibly imagine, whose approval she had been pining for since forever and never received, reducing her to the antisocial sack of bitch and misanthropy she had become at this very moment.]] [[BlatantLies No she most certainly did not.]] [[LampshadeHanging That would be clichéd and lame.]] And if you know what’s good for you, you didn’t see anything either."
