Feng Mei Lan

Feng Mei Lan (风美兰), or simply Lan, is an antagonist in the Distant Dreamscape series. As a magical girl, she goes by the name Apate.

Description
Lan is a pretty down to earth person and will at costs find justice for you, if you're a female that is, and can be a serious torture to you if you're of the opposite gender - this is explained in her background. Although she is down to earth, she's a bit like a ticking time bomb to quite a few people. She has her ways to find out your secrets, and more often than not, you'll be faced in a situation whereby she uses your own secrets to blackmail you.

Her way of life is: People have secrets, and I'll use them to my advantage. Just because there are people who don't do it, it doesn't mean everyone doesn't. I'm in the minority and I like it that way.

Background
Lan grew up with her father truly hating her due to the fact that she was born in the year of the snake; he's pretty downright traditional, while being pampered-ish by her mother. And while her mother didn't really care much about the zodiacs and all, she did name her daughter Orchid due to the fact that it's meant to bring "snake-children" luck. It was prominent to Lan that her father hated her, so she did not bother getting his acknowledgement from him. She did as she pleased, and in her eyes, only her mother was there during her childhood. As it goes to show, thanks to her father's attitude towards her, she really hates guys in general and seeks pleasure in their sufferings. Therefore, Lan openly declares her hate against men, and well, you can tell the obvious difference between the way she treats females and males. She is however, straight which is ironic. Then again, she does say that because she hates men and is straight, her answer to getting married is a no.
