OVA
Description
Lanzhu Zhong transfers to Nijigasaki High School as a second-year student from Hong Kong alongside Mia Taylor. Fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese, she wields considerable influence as the daughter of a school chairwoman. Her childhood connection to student council president Shioriko Mifune aids her integration. Recognized as gifted across multiple fields from a young age, this status fostered underlying insecurities about being perceived as "special" rather than an equal. This complexity manifests in charismatic yet demanding behavior, leading to alienating decisions. She initially formed the "Association" as a rival to the School Idol Club she admired, seeking to "improve" it by imposing professional standards and temporarily banning the original club to compel members' participation. These poorly executed actions, driven by a desire to connect and elevate others, caused friction.
Her development pivots after the Association dissolves in Chapter 28 of the All Stars story. She formally apologizes for her methods in Chapter 29 and joins the School Idol Club as its 13th member and 12th school idol alongside Mia, marking a shift towards collaboration. Physically, she has a slender 165 cm frame (measurements 87-55-82), long pinkish platinum hair in tied pigtails with high loops, light greyish-blue eyes, and a beauty mark beneath her right eye. Her image color is pink gold (#f8c8c4). She typically wears a crimson cardigan over a black-collared shirt with a ribbon tie, a white pleated skirt, grey knee socks, and brown loafers.
Within Nijigasaki, she performs in the subunit R3BIRTH, delivering the franchise's first trilingual songs. R3BIRTH debuts animatedly in the OVA "Next Sky." Her birthday is February 15 (Aquarius), blood type B. She favors meat despite notably poor cooking skills, comparable to Setsuna Yuki. Cultural representation notes contrast her Hong Kong origin: her name pronunciation, predominant Mandarin usage, Mandopop-style songs, and idol attire aesthetics align more with Mainland Chinese stereotypes. Her stylized signature uses French "L'ange" ("the angel"). Her Chinese surname is written as "鐘," noted as unconventional compared to the standard "鍾."
