Lana is the biological mother of Leina Vance and Claudette Vance, presumed dead during Leina's childhood. This supposed death led Count Vance to remarry. However, Lana survived and secretly became Queen Aldra, the reigning monarch who organizes the Queen's Blade tournament. As Aldra, she manipulates the tournament to identify and eliminate powerful female warriors posing potential threats to her rule, demonstrating a strategic and ruthless approach to maintaining power. Her dual identity as Lana and Queen Aldra positions her as a central antagonist. Her relationship with her daughters is characterized by calculated deception and absence rather than maternal care. She shows no genuine emotional connection to Leina or Claudette, viewing them solely as obstacles or pawns within her political schemes. This is evident when she actively undermines and confronts them during the tournament. Her motivations stem purely from a desire for absolute control over the kingdom, using the tournament's violent structure to dispose of rivals.
