At many points in our lives, our conviction to ourselves and others will be tested with the prospect of change. We may anticipate it, or it may completely blindside us. But how we handle the change - run from or embrace it - will shape our future.
Lang Yan

Lang Yan (狼眼 Láng Yǎn, literally: "wolf eye"), also called Wolf Eyes, The Crystal Prophetess or Lana Reid in her human disguise, is the Crystal Demon Sorceress and mother of Mala Reid. She originally traveled to Earth in order to get close to Jasper Reid, a Chi Wizard, so she could learn his secrets and learn how to counter them. She was also the founder and leader of the Crystal Horde.

Though her ruse was discovered and she was banished, Lang Yan remained an important figure in Mala's life, primarily as the source of Mala's discontent. For unknown reasons, Lang Yan assisted Mala's friends in their time of need, purposefully forfeiting a chance to get back to the human world.

However, she was ultimately freed alongside the Demon Quartet by Daolon Wong, who intended to use the demons to exact revenge on the Shadow Strikers. Ultimately, Lang Yan revealed her true loyalties and love for Mala and Jasper when she sacrificed her life to save her daughter from Liao She. Lang Yan was not dead, however, at least not entirely. Though her physical body was destroyed, she was able to remain alive in her astral form - a white wolf with bright red eyes. She appeared to Mala in this form briefly and even appeared to help Drago find his way. Finally, Lang Yan was successfully resurrected alongside Hsian Ji by the Shadow Strikers through a restoration spell originally meant for Mo Wang.

Physical description

Lang Yan largely resembles Mala's demon form with blue-grey skin, white long hair and bright red eyes. Her face is spikier than Mala's and she has long, pointed ears and wears green earrings. Like Mala, she has black and blue revealing armor with purple, pink and teal highlights and a purple robe flowing like a dress. Her armor primarily consists of a bra, shoulder pads, gauntlets, panties and full leg armor. She has two dark horns, two large crystal wheels floating over her back, bladed heels and is always holding her crystal ball. She also has several jewels embedded into her skin on her belly and upper chest.

In her wolf form, she has blue fur and bright red eyes. Her hair and horns remain as does most of her armor and her crystal wheels. In this form, she grows a thick blue tail with black and pink spikes, which is identical to the tail Mala has in her demon form.

In her human guise, Lang Yan retains her bright red eye color, but her skin becomes pale, like her daughter's and her hair turns blonde. She wears her hair in a ponytail, albeit her hair length is much shorter and she wears a dark blue business suit over a light pink blouse and dark purple boots. She also wears a light blue orb necklace and a necklace with two aqua green diamond, as well as matching aqua green diamond-shaped earrings.

In her astral form, Lang Yan appears similar to a wolf with some changes. Her fur is light blue and she retains her demonic, red eyes. Additionally, she has a purple necklace with a cyan gem around her neck and a teal earring.

Personality

Like other Demon Sorcerers, Lang Yan was cunning and evil. Most notably, she was deceptive and manipulative, capable of deceiving Jasper and manipulating him into thinking she was honest and loving for years. She was an excellent planner, taking advantage of her ability to see the future and is incredibly patient, which made her a deadly and effective leader of the Crystal Horde. When she returned to the Demon Netherworld, Lang Yan displayed little care over her failure and instead developed a strong support for the idea of half-human, half-demon hybrids, believing them to be the ideal specimens as they embodied raw demonic power with human passion, resourcefulness and tenacity. She suffered through a brief period of depression over being separated from her family and the guilt she felt for deceiving them, but was inspired by her loyal commander, Ratan to fight to change her fate. As such, Lang Yan has developed a belief that the future is not set in stone and one can change their fate. Most often, she did not concern herself with getting involved in present events and simply enjoyed watching events unfold from her crystal ball, namely her daughter's life. Because of her ability to see the future, she made use of that knowledge to persuade individuals to heed her advice.

Despite her previous and hostile interactions with her daughter, Lang Yan appeared to help Mala see through a powerful illusion, though it is unknown why she did this. In addition to this, Lang Yan willing helped Tim and Mavis, two humans who had accidentally been sent to the Netherworld, get home while passing up on the chance to get to Earth herself. Going from this, Lang Yan appears to display some form of care for Mala and her friends, though her true motives for assisting them remain unknown. In her final moments, Lang Yan revealed her true nature and that she truly did love Mala and her father, sacrificing her life to save Mala.

Abilities

As a full blooded Demon Sorceress, Lang Yan is incredibly powerful, gifted with Demon Chi and several other skills that make her a force to be reckoned with. The extent of her abilities greatly eclipse that of Mala's. However, she is very vulnerable to powerful Chi spells. One power that Lang Yan does not possess is the ability to create moving and sentient crystal constructs. Her daughter, Mala, however, has this ability because of her human heritage, granting her the passion, creativity and ingenuity necessary to give life to constructs.

    • Crystallokinetic constructs: Lang Yan can create solid constructs out of crystal, such as tools, objects, weapons, appendages, barriers and armor.

      • Crystal exoskeleton: Lang Yan can create armor around her body from crystal.

    • Telepathy: Lang Yan possesses some form of telepathy as she was able to telepathically communicate with Mala while she was still in the Demon Netherworld.

According to her, she could still use this power while in astral form.
    • Telekinesis: Lang Yan possesses the ability to move objects with her mind.
    • Mind control: Lang Yan is able to exert her influence on and control the minds of others.

    • Partial transformation: Lang Yan can transform part of her body into her demon form independently from the rest.
    • Wolf form: Lang Yan also possesses the ability to change into a wolf form. According to her, it took her a year to master this.
  • Rage empowerment: Lang Yan possesses a demonic temper, a trait that all demons possess. When angered, she becomes more powerful.
  • Demon eyes: Being a demon, Lang Yan possesses a keen sight that allowed her to see through facades to the truth. It is not an always active ability.
  • Demon detection: Lang Yan can sense the presence of other demons near or around her. Unlike Mala, Lang Yan can still sense a nearby demon even if they take on a human form.
  • Chi bestowal and reabsorption: Lang Yan is capable of bestowing a portion of her Crystal Demon Chi onto another as well as taking it back. This grants the individual some of Lang Yan's own powers as well as slightly changing their appearance to be similar to hers.

Following her death at the hands of Liao She, Lang Yan was able to continue existing in astral form despite losing her physical body. However, her astral form appears to be severely weakened, likely due to Liao She's Wan Du Ye poison that was used to kill her.

  • Flight
  • Enhanced healing: As a demon, Lang Yan's wounds and injuries heal at an accelerated rate. Additionally, ailments and diseases rarely affect her.
  • Enhanced durability, strength and immunity: When poisoned by Liao She, Lang Yan put up great resistance and even continued to fight for a short amount of time before succumbing to the poison. Despite her durability and immunity, she did not last long with the poison in her system.
