Lana Kihel

Lana Kihel was adopted as a toddler into a Neo Kabuki clan on Muiran. She trained in the family's art growing up, groomed to inherit a role in their ancient traditions and performances.

Lana's family and many of the troupe were killed when the Rebels attacked Muiran during the Day of Infamy. Alone and lost, she answered the call to arms against the Rebels and joined the Imperial Navy Officer Academy.

Once deployed on the front, Lieutenant Kihel repeatedly proved herself highly effective, sometimes brutal leader. Within the Navy, she became known as the "Ice Queen" as a recognition of her ruthlessness and closed, reserved nature. Lieutenant Kihel earned the fierce loyalty of soldiers under her command in dangerous and harrowing battles, only won through her personal sacrifices, stubborn courage, and brilliant leadership.

Recently been seconded to SOS Nu and having the burden of command lifted from her, Lana has exhibited a shift of mood and behavior closer to that of her former life. Yet the fearsome Ice Queen remains frozen beneath the warming surface, awaiting the correct trigger to emerge once again.

Spoiler

The loss of her family has manifested inside her as an unbridled hatred for the Rebels. The cold, emotionless exterior might have been formed to encase the roaring fire within.

Having faced unbearable personal losses after losses, Lana grew desperate for any form of purpose in life. When the Officer unwittingly rescued her in a battle, Lana pledged herself to him as a means to continue living.
