Yulang Mirage

About
Yulang Mirage is the champion gladiator of the Leazas Castle Coliseum. She is well known for being an undefeated warrior and a 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 golden armor with a cape. Her armor of choice is similar in appearance to the uniform of the Leazas Royal Guard, although with some notable differences.

Since she became the champion of the Coliseum, Yulang has grown very confident and proud of her strength. She's a natural warrior that enjoys fighting and is always searching for strong warriors that can put her skills to test. She  is always open and willing to take a challenge from powerful combatants and she enjoys betting on her victories 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 Leazas Royal Guard 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 up with the Hero Arios Theoman to defeat a band of slave traders.

She is attracted to strong men, and allowed Rance to sleep with her after he defeated her in battle, although she admited her lack of expierence in bed and was shown nervous over the occasion.

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

Trivia

 * In the Rance 01 Popularity Poll she ranked 11th, while in Rance 03 she ranked 38th the second lowest playable female character after jericho.
 * She was mentioned as a participant of the Toushin Toshi Tournament in Toushin Toshi.
 * The fact that she wears a golden armor is somewhat ironic considering her consistent refusal to join the Leazas Royal Guard, iconic for their golden protective covering.
 * The slavers she defeated along with Arios were the same traders that sold Sill Plain to Rance, but the latter had already been bought prior to Arios' and Yulang's interference.
 * In the original version of Rance I, she was noted to be the strongest warrior in Leazas, with King Golden Wensding Mark 2 Hakushaku even expressing bewilderment that the nation had no powerful men in it. This is no longer the case in canon, as while Yulang is still considered to be a powerful fighter, Rick Addison is recognized as the strongest warrior in the country.
 * She is one of the few humans that has managed to reach her Level Cap.
