Oerba Yun Fang

Unreleased

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, 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.

Story
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.

Abilities
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.
