▰ Luana has always been a troublesome girl. Even at an early age — be it Brasil or China — she would cause havoc everywhere she went. Seldom was it intentional. More often than not her curiosity or naive nature simply put caused domino effects that ended up in her getting reprimanded or outright punished. 

    It wasn't until she arrived within the United States that things began taking a turn for the worst. Being 'adopted' by low-income immigrants, LuWei found herself living on a derelict, out-of-the-way city on the outskirts of Washington. The town itself was small, with little to do, though it wasn't far from bigger settlements. 

    With both poverty and boredom as a catalyst, Wei fell in with a crowd that resorted to illegal activity as a cure for both factors. At first, Wei was reclusive; she kept away from some of the more outright illegal acts, such as vandalism or arson, but she didn't distance herself from said group. She simply stood on the sidelines.

    Overtime, not only did the group's behavior become normalized to the girl, but they learned to exploit her emotions; they would stoke, tease, and prod at Luana to push her into doing their bidding. 

    One thing led to another — a delinquent act too far... Well, the rest can be found within her History Dossier below.

▰ Gear & Detail:
[Vague Gear Outline; Details Below]

⟐GiGi carries herself at a 6'07" stature; her hourglass-shaped body is kept in top physical shape. It shows well.

⟐Any of the raven-black hair above her ear is tightly bound back into a ponytail which spills down about four inches; the rest of her hair is free to spill over her shoulders and down to her middle-upper back.

Assuming She Is Out Of Uniform...

⟐Behind her wraparound dark-tinted glasses hides a pair of vibrant yellow eyes.

⟐GiGi more often than not keeps a pair of fingerless gloves on her person — sometimes equipped, sometimes tucked under her belt.

⟐Beneath a sleek black cloth coat — which falls down to her knees — she sports a tight sleeveless body armor to protect her ample chest and core. Midriff and bust can be exposed by sliding the body armor in or out of place — which must be done in order to fully remove the body armor.

⟐Her necklace: A resplendent, orange pendant rests between her cleavage. The crystal is roughly cut, wrapped in a smokey-grey metal and tied to her chest by a smooth, black leather sting.

⟐She sports dark-grey cargo pants, are tucked into her black, rubber combat boots. In the cargo pockets is where she stashes away food and currency. Around her cargo pants is a very ordinary and insignificant — but durable — set of black-cloth belts.

⟐Tanis is extremely adaptable; she can find herself shifting between her normal whimsical, eccentric nature into her warrior-like mentality at a moment’s notice. In the end of the day, Tanis goes with the flow. Her air-headed nature causes aids in her affable nature, but it also hinders her in other fields — most notably academic. The woman's academic ineptitude has caused her to stay behind numerous times, often ensuring she is the oldest within a class.  

The constant changes in dialect also seems to have hindered Luana's communication. Portuguese, English, Chinese; she has spread herself thin, and therefore mastered none of them. This marks her speech with a thick, brutish accent; her literary skills being vastly sub par — often leaving the amazon struggling with simple sentences. She dreads having to read things aloud. 

In combat, some might consider her fiercely callous — and, without a doubt, vindictive. This is due to her brutal gladiatorial combat style. However, serious harm and death are things she attempts to leave as a last resort... Unless seriously provoked or the situation is truly dire.

⟐Below is vital information for any handler of Luana Wei’s files; it will help in understanding her situation a little better.

The Amazon Forest used to be a safe haven for the numerous indigenous tribes native to Brazil; the rainforest itself — larger than many countries — acting as a natural buffer between them and the modern world. Plenty, to this day, live on without knowledge of the outside world — of the advances in technology made by man. In Brazil, strict rules and regulations are kept in place for researches and other men of science who delve into the Amazon in the name of research; a vast number of them are made to preserve the ‘innocence’ of those indigenous communities.

For most, like loggers, fishers, or farmers, those laws mean nothing; they go about their daily activities not venturing within the deep, uncharted territory where the aboriginals reside. For some those laws mean everything, as it’s precisely thanks to their restrictions that they earn a living — human traffickers, drug smugglers, deforesters; they take advantage of either the uncharged territory to create routes to and from safe houses, or simply take advantage of the naive natives through various means.

⟐She claims to have little to no memory as to her time before she was ‘adopted’ by a low-income asiatic family within the Pacific Northwest, mentioning she was far too young to remember much of her time within Zilyana tribe. Her claims are not corroborated by her peers nor accomplices. Many note Luana Wei will often break out into rants in her native tongues; others claim her ‘street name’ — Tanis — is simply a bastardization of the tribe she has descended from: Tanium.

Her family, a couple of immigrants from China, had claimed to be the biological parents to Luana Wei. Aside from the fact that both ‘parents’, Siji Zhang and Lee Wei, are frail and below 5’5” while their daughter stands at a staggering 6’07” and built like a tank, there is also the fact that DNA tests done during Luana Wei’s criminal processing determined that to be a lie.

Further investigation coupled with some light interrogation revealed that both Siji and Lee, after unsuccessful attempts at conception, had grown desperate purchased themselves a daughter while in China. Shortly after, due to financial and political instability within their province within the South, the couple relocated to the outskirts of Washington State, U.S.A. while under the status of ‘political asylum’. A status that will almost surely be revoked thanks to the reveal that the duo had participated in human trafficking.

Wei seems to have grown unstable since that revelation; guilt and anger seem to have stoked the Amazon, causing her to be even more belligerent than before. She seems to be keenly aware that it was her incessant delinquency into motion the events that will now have her family deported to China, while she is now bound to Kessho Reform Academy. It is anyone’s guess if the family will remain in contact. As unfortunate as this is, neither the transgressions of her family as well as Tanis’ own criminal history cannot be overlooked.
