Yulang Mirage

About
Yulang Mirage is the champion gladiator of the Leazas Castle Coliseum. She is well known for being  an undefeated warrior and an remarkable beauty, which made her very popular as a gladiator. Her strength and skill are known throughout Leazas, to the point where she has been hired by the royal family several times to accomplish difficult mercenary work.

During the events of Rance 01, she was challenged by Rance in the Coliseum in exchange for her sword and a night with him. She lost the battle, but was not angered and was in fact excited to fight such a powerful opponent.

During the Helman invasion of Leazas in Rance 03 she aided the Leazas Army in the 7th Helman-Leazas war, using her impressive swordsmanship to fight off the invading Helman soldiers at the capital. However, she eventually encountered Minerva Margaret and was defeated with ease by the powerful warrior, who tied her to a pole along with the other Coliseum fighters, and used her as a bait.

Rance and his party later managed to defeat Minerva and free Yulang, who joined the group in the Leazas Liberation Army.

Personality and Appearance
Yulang is an outstandingly attractive woman with a body that is both fit and well-toned, while still being feminine and sensual. She has short blue-green hair and wears a golden armor with a cape. Her armor of choice is similar in looks to the one of the Leazas Royal Guard, although with some notable differencies and more black pieces.

Since she became the champion of the Coliseum, Yulang grew confident and secure of her strength. She's a natural warrior that enjoys battling and is always searching for strong fighters that can put her skills to test. She  is always open and willing to take a challenge from powerful combatants and she's willing to bet on her favour even when she has nothing to win. Despite her confident nature, she is still willing to work alongside other warriors to accomplish difficult tasks, and enjoys observing their strength.

She is an old acquaintance of the Captain of the Royal Guard of Leazas Leila Grecni, and the two share a friendly rivalry. Leila has asked Yulang to join the Royal Guards multiple times, though she has always refused, stating that she prefers the unpredictable life of a gladiator. She also once teamed to defeat a band of slave traders with the Hero Arios Theoman.

She is attracted to strong men, and allowed Rance to sleep with her after he defeated her in battle.

Despite her battle loving demeanor, she's still a feminine and typical woman outside of the Coliseum. She has a pretty casual yet respectful tone when speaking.

Abilities
Yulang is the champion of the Coliseum and remained undefeated until Rance fought her. She is a powerful warrior with both strong attacks and fast movements. She possesses an above average level cap of 27, which she has reached. While not a particularly high cap, especially when compared to other elite warriors, Yulang's natural strength and skill allow her to be a difficult opponent nonetheless.

She posses a unique skill known as Illusion Sword, which allows her to create an illusion of herself to act as a decoy to her opponent while she attacks them from the air with a powerful downwards thrust. It is through this technique that she gained her reputation as a powerful warrior.

Yulang's armor features a strange rocket-like attachment that can be used to propel her forwards at extremely fast speeds. She is incredibly proficient at using it, and can perform intricate and elaborate tricks while doing so to confuse and surprise her opponents. While not quite capable of flight, Yulang can launch herself into the air when using it, making it critical to performing the Illusion Sword technique.

She wields a rare Ghost Buster sword that is capable of cutting the immaterial beings like Ghosts, along with being generally a very strong blade.
