"I'm sure you didn't hire me for my manners, Your Majesty."
—Lani to Queen Brahne
Lani
Lani (ラニ, Rani?), known in-game as the Boisterous Woman before learning her name, is a Non-Player Character in Final Fantasy IX. She is a bounty hunter who wields a large bladed axe-like weapon and uses Black Magic, and who initially works with Amarant Coral.

Lani is 19 at the start of the game.

Appearance and PersonalityEdit

Lani has tanned skin and dark hair that reaches to her shoulders, adorned by a headress with a green feather and a blue teardrop. Her outfit consists of a cropped orange top with puffed yellow sleeves reaching just above her elbows; black gloves; black shorts with patterned orange duster, trimmed with fur, and red heeled shoes with black criss-crossing straps around her calves.

Lani is a complete narcissist, believing herself to be the most beautiful bounty hunter in the world. Never without her trademark axe upon her back, she speaks as if it has a mind of its own, and will not hesitate to turn against even her most trusted companions, thinking only of herself. She is rude, disrespectful and haughty, but does have a softer side that is not often seen.

StoryEdit

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)

Lani is a bounty hunter, hired by Queen Brahne to retrieve Princess Garnet's pendant and to kill Vivi, the black mage traveling with her (although this part of her assignment is strangely forgotten with no explanation). She attacks Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, and Quina in Fossil Roo, but is defeated. She follows them through the passage to the Outer Continent and all the way to Madain Sari, where she seizes her chance to fulfill her mission.

Lani works with Amarant, whom she calls "Red", but finds herself at odds with him when Amarant disapproves of her "unfair" methods of reaching her objective when Lani holds Eiko Carol hostage. After Amarant turns against her she is forced to release Eiko and flee. Instead of returning to the Mist Continent, Lani stays at Outer Continent, but seems to have seen the error in her ways and no longer pursues her objective of capturing Garnet's pendant.

Later on Lani can be found living in Madain Sari with Eiko's moogles and in the final scenes is seen heading to Alexandria with Amarant, presumably to see Tantalus Theater Troupe perform I Want to Be Your Canary for Queen Garnet.

Lani also appears in Lindblum, where she stayed at the inn (leaving with several complaints to the owner in the guest book) and participated in the Festival of the Hunt (as noted in the score-keeping window at the top of the screen during the event).

BattleEdit
