Lavian is the type of person who does not rely on others.
She prefers to act on her own, valuing her own beliefs above all rules.
She rarely talks about herself, and shows little interest in other people.
She does not care about material things, like expensive accessories or large amounts of money, even if they are given as a reward.
Although she seems cold, she shows a gentle side to children, often smiling around them.
Lavian can be playful too—like when she made Talion Drake pay for ice cream after exploring Ordis on her own, and gave him the nickname "Tara-chan."

Her teaching style is intuitive and rough at first, but she improves after experiences in the Empire.

She cares deeply about her own beliefs—even if it means breaking a few rules.
Lavian was born in the year 1190 of the Septian Calendar.
She grew up in Mishushk Village, in North Ambria.
Her grandfather, Vlad Winslet, was a founder of the Northern Jaegers and called a local hero.
Vlad left North Ambria for reasons others didn't understand, and Lavian wanted to prove she was different from him.
She ran away from home and joined the Northern Jaegers almost like a runaway.
Lavian has an outstanding natural talent for fighting.
She can master new skills just by seeing them once.
After joining the Northern Jaegers at age 14, she was promoted to the main unit in just six months.
She is known for being able to defeat stronger enemies or even large powerful bosses by herself—enemies that usually need a group to beat.
Her quick thinking lets her use the environment and find enemy weaknesses fast in battles.
People call her the "Second Coming of the Violet Lightning Valestine" because of her skills.
Rising Star in the Northern Jaegers
Lavian joins the Northern Jaegers at age 14, soon showing her amazing natural skills in combat.
In just half a year, she rises to the main group, but because she breaks rules while focusing too much on missions, her commanders decide to form a team with her, Martin S. Robinson, Iseria Frost, and Talion Drake.
Imperial Infiltration
Lavian and her team are given the dangerous mission of spying in the Erebonian Empire.
They manage to meet the "Hero of the Empire," Rean Schwarzer, but are discovered by Lecter Arandor.
While trying to escape, Martin is captured.
After returning, North Ambria's leader Glark Grommash refuses a war compensation demand and declares Lavian to be the hero’s successor.
Just after, Glark is assassinated, and Lavian is pursued by the radical Rogan Mugart.
Confronting the Past
Lavian escapes to her home village and learns her grandfather tried to help the village with food.
Remembering his words about "everyone making her a hero," she understands what being a hero means.
She decides to face Rogan to stop further fighting.
Stopping the Northern War
Lavian risks her life, facing dangerous puppets and poison traps, but manages to convince Rogan to stop fighting by sharing her newfound beliefs.
Even though a puppet weapon goes out of control, she teams up with Rean Schwarzer and Talion, who betrays Jayna Storm, to destroy the mechanism.
Their actions help bring the war to an end.
Finding Her Own Path
After the Northern War, Lavian encourages Rean Schwarzer to become an instructor, and they promise to meet again if they share the same goals.
Lavian leaves the Northern Jaegers to travel the continent and see more of the world.
Lavian is the granddaughter of Vlad Winslet, one of the founders of the Northern Jaegers.
She works closely with Martin S. Robinson, Iseria Frost, and Talion Drake during missions.
She crosses paths with Rean Schwarzer and develops a strong mutual respect for him.
Lavian is often called "Lavi" by people around her.
She was given the title "Second Coming of the Violet Lightning Valestine" for her fast rise in the Jaegers.
