Powers

Lana currently possesses no powers.

Background & Overview

Born Lana Yao, the privileged daughter of notorious crime boss Vincent Yao, she spent much of her life trying to escape the shadow of her family’s criminal empire. Embarrassed by her father’s underworld connections, Lana distanced herself from the Yao name by adopting the more innocuous surname Smith, and worked tirelessly to build a life that appeared entirely separate from the Yao legacy.

Lana’s rise to fame began with her sharp instinct for self-promotion, becoming an influencer on the social media platform Chirper and leveraging her beauty to break into the competitive world of fashion. Over time, she became one of the most recognizable faces in San Francisco, gracing high-profile events and runways.

However, despite her apparent success, Lana is constantly haunted by the specter of her family’s influence. Though she outwardly rejects their methods, the ambition and ruthlessness of the Yao legacy are traits she finds difficult to completely disavow.

Description

Lana is tall, elegant, and always impeccably dressed. She has striking features with long, raven-black hair, and a poised, commanding presence that easily draws attention.

  • On Chirper, Lana curates a polished, aspirational image—she’s the fashion icon and influencer everyone envies, but she often hides the loneliness and anxiety of constantly maintaining that image.
  • Living in the upscale SoMa district, Lana is frequently seen at VIP events, charity galas, and exclusive social functions.

Motivations

Lana’s public goals and her hidden drives are often at odds, painting the picture of a woman divided between fame, personal ambition, and an inevitable descent into darkness.

  • To Climb the Social Hierarchy: Lana seeks to cement her place among the top echelon of San Francisco’s elite, constantly working to secure more lucrative deals, endorsements, and magazine covers.
  • To Achieve Fame and Recognition: Fame is both her armor and her addiction. Lana is driven by a deep need to be seen, adored, and admired. The fear of irrelevance haunts her, pushing her to take ever more extreme actions to stay in the public eye.
  • To Escape Her Father’s Shadow: Lana is determined to prove that her success is her own and not a result of her father’s wealth or connections. She loathes the idea of anyone associating her with the Yao crime family and strives to distance herself from that identity.
