Rana Linchen

  • bio

    Rana Linchen is a main character from the manga and anime series Freezing. A Pandora from Tibet, she arrives at West Genetics in search of her "soul-mate", whom she eventually finds in the male protagonist Kazuya Aoi. However, this creates a love rivalry with Kazuya's unofficial partner Satellizer L. Bridget. Despite this, she hopes to convince Kazuya to be her Limiter.

    Rana was born and raised in Nagarze, Tibet alongside her older sister Luna. Uniquely, Rana was born with a Stigma already inside of her, making her a Type-Maria Pandora. The monks who housed her aptly named these Stigmata "The Tears of Kunlun", referring to the goddess they worship. After the death of her sister, Rana became the successor to title of Clan Leader. When she turned 18 and fulfilled her training, the elders sent her out into the world with the assignment to find the one who resonates with the Tears of Kunlun. They first send her to West Genetics, believing that her "soul-mate" would be residing there.

    Rana is generally a "happy-go-lucky girl" who enjoys being with Kazuya, whom she claims to be her "soul-mate". Though free spirited and teasing, she also tends to be very competitive against Satella, mostly over Kazuya. Perhaps because of her rural upbringing, Rana has little modesty or shyness and is not afraid to get close to Kazuya, often rubbing up on him. When the thugs in her introduction told her to strip, she did not show the same mortification as Hiiragi; she was simply infuriated at the thugs' behavior. Her playfulness is shown when she sneaks into Satella's room when Satella was planning to baptise Kazuya, tying him up in the dark and impersonating his voice to get Satella to embarrass herself before turning on the lights and revealing herself. This shows that despite her original naiveté and great strength Rana is really a free spirited, teasing, and mischievous girl at heart.

    Rana possess strong will and determination and would not back down from something she set her mind on. This is seen in her attempt to pair with her "soul-mate" and her rivalry with Satella. Another example is seen during the 13th Nova clash arc when she used the Valkyries equipment and despite going through great pain she didn't give in. However, while she possesses a strong will and determination she is not beyond admitting that she is wrong and apologizing if she were truly wrong.

    The only significant time in which she showed true fury was during her battle against Chiffon, in which she promised to destroy the "Monster."

    While a clever fighter and jokester, Rana is headstrong and a bit airheaded having difficulty understanding complex or complicated issues and tends to solve problems physically whether it is trying to seduce Kazuya or through fighting.

  • Abilities

    Rana possesses six Stigmata, one of which formed inside her body naturally when she was born, making her a Type-Maria. The combination of these traits make her very strong and durable. Rana was able to stop a truck with one hand and endure a punch from Chiffon, a Legendary Pandora.
    Even without Stigmata, Rana is in excellent physical shape due to her martial art's training. She has impressive strength and stamina, enough to run large distances without tiring.

    Volt Weapon
    Shinen (四念, Four Senses) is a pair of steel-plated gauntlets and boots which, in tandem with her ability to use her Stigmata to channel energy throughout her body, makes her a formidable close range opponent. As compared to most Pandora, Rana is a Melee-Type and her Volt Weapon is put to good use considering her proficiency in hand-to-hand combat.

    Holy Gates
    Rana has access to the Holy Gates. She is a proficient user of the Sacred Gate Eight Extremities Fist (聖門八極拳, Seimon Hakkyoku-ken) fighting style which is also called "Wings of Light." Upon activation, Rana's skills are greatly increased and she can perform techniques unique to her. She was able to make four Tempest Turn copies while using the Holy Gates.
    Void Fang (空牙, Kūga) is a long range technique that serves as both attack and defence. Rana punches the air, as if she's punching her opponent, and the technique releases a powerful blunt shock wave instead of shock waves with great cutting ability. Rana's technique is very similar to the invisible energy attacks of Pandora-Type Nova.
    Burning Fang (炎牙, Enga) is Rana's strongest technique. Rana places her fists at any part of her opponent's body and releases a torrent of thermal powered energy through her victim. This technique crushes the target's ribs and internal organs. A variation is Burning Fang X4 which is done in combination with Tempest Turn. Rana attacks her opponent with three Tempest Turn copies of herself thus multiplying the damage by four.
