Final Fantasy XIII Character
"I'm half way there to insanity. I'm a l'Cie, just like you."
—Fang to Lightning
"Fang is a mysterious woman who is working with the Sanctum military despite bearing the mark of the detested l'Cie. She has a strong-minded personality and is unconcerned with trivialities."
—Online Description

Oerba Yun Fang is a playable character from Final Fantasy XIII. She is described as a strong woman with many mysteries surrounding her. She has black hair and she wears clothing that closely resembles the traditional Indian Sari, adorned with tribal accessories. She has the mark of a l'Cie on one arm and a large tattoo on the other. Unlike the other main characters in the game whose marks are black, Fang's l'Cie mark is white.

Character designer Tetsuya Nomura stated that when compared to other characters personality-wise, Fang is stronger than Lightning and more stubborn than Snow Villiers. During the development, most of Lightning's sex appeal was transferred to Fang to make Lightning a more serious character. As a result, Fang is very flirtatious.

[edit] Story

Fang against the party

Fang is a l'Cie working for the Sanctum, even though she is a resident of Pulse. She shares the Oerba part of her name with Oerba Dia Vanille, indicating that they might originate from the same tribe in Pulse.

She meets Snow Villiers after the events in Lake Bilge. After a set of unknown circumstances, Fang joins Lightning and the party. She talks to Lightning when she asks her who she is. Fang also explains to her how a l'Cie turns into a Cie Corpse. At some point of the story, she fights the party and claims that she doesn't care if Cocoon is destroyed because it's better than seeing her friends turn into Cie Corpses.

[edit] Abilities

Bahamut Gestalt Form

She wields a double-bladed spear that can be split into a three-section staff in battle. Her Eidolon is Bahamut, who has no element. Bahamut takes flight in his Gestalt Mode.

[edit] Trivia

  • Before the script was completed, Fang was written as a male character
  • Fang's weapon turns into a three-section staff, and is known in some regions as a "coiling dragon staff", reflecting her control of Bahamut.
