Background / History

Stana was the tall, highly capable Police Chief of Messer City. She first encountered Tang Qi while investigating his injury, then fought beside him during the Dugong Sea Demon incident, where her Furnace Bullet destroyed the creature's head before Tang Qi finished it. 20 23

Driven by an intense curiosity about the Mystic Side, Stana recruited Tang Qi as a police consultant and negotiated for supernatural ammunition and training in return. She became the public face of several supernatural cases while Tang Qi deliberately cultivated his image as a knowledgeable but weak consultant. 44 49 58

Tang Qi's gifts of Furnace Bullets and Sea Demon Bullets made Stana an unusually dangerous ordinary detective. Her performance eventually brought her assessment invitations from both the Manor Bureau and the Church of Light; she chose to pursue the latter path and left Messer City for training. 54 226 227 265

After passing the Church's trial, Stana returned as its Chief Apprentice Knight and challenged Tang Qi to test the Super Strength Technique he had given her. She later rose to Light Knight Commander and gained the title “Light War Goddess.” 498 499 810

Stana was later branded a “Fallen Witch” after allegedly making an evil transaction, killing Sister Teresa, stealing holy relics, and looting Monster Firearms Company. In reality, Teresa had regressed into an infant after sealing an Evil God within herself; Stana fled while protecting her teacher and used the looted weapons to survive. 809 811 812

On the Light Blood Road, Stana invoked the Light Blood Holy Relic and assumed an Archangel-like form, but the Black Mud Man manipulated both her and Teresa into a spatial crack. Tang Qi later retrieved Stana from the Dark Dimension. 813 815 844

After completing the Mother Goddess's trial, Stana ascended as the Goddess of Light. She attempted to assassinate the Lord of Light for slandering and betraying the Mother Goddess, survived through the Mother Goddess's intervention, and later agreed with Tang Qi to help preserve the truth of beings erased by “Non-Existence.” 1149 1151

Appearance

Stana is a tall, slender woman whose beauty is striking by both local and Earthly standards. Her usual police-chief image is cool and imposing, while her later Light Knight presence is described as sacred, dangerous, and majestic. 20 44 498

• Long, flame-like red hair. 497 811
• Fair skin, deep black eyes, and sharp, straight eyebrows. 497
• Often wore a black trench coat, trousers, and chiffon shirt during her Messer City police work. 44
• Wore Light Knight armor, carried a sword and shield, and later wielded the Holy Sword. 673 1149
• At formal events, she wore a black evening gown and concealed the Crimson Rhino in a thigh holster. 264 265

Personality

Stana is decisive, efficient, and fearless under pressure. Even as an ordinary detective facing the Executioner, she continued firing until she had no chance left; after Tang Qi's support ended, she still forced herself to remain standing. 49 154 156

Her cool and aloof exterior conceals a warm, straightforward nature. She is intensely curious about the Mystic Side, stubborn about commitments such as cooking dinner herself, and enjoys teasing Tang Qi when the opportunity arises. 53 65 265

Her advancement does not erase her personality. As a Powerful Deity, Stana remains candid and playful with Tang Qi, while her loyalty to the Mother Goddess drives her to confront the Lord of Light despite knowing she is outmatched. 1149 1150

Abilities & Skills

Marksmanship and Supernatural Firearms

• Uses Sea Demon Bullets, which are less destructive but can break curses and dispel evil. 49 54
• Triggered the pseudo-Dragon's Might effect with a Furnace Bullet, briefly freezing the Executioner. 154
• Her ammunition is limited; Tang Qi explicitly warned that he could not supply it indefinitely. 54

• Combined it with Light Knight techniques during her sparring match against Tang Qi. 499

• Formed a divine, winged body capable of purifying and defeating the demonic remains on the Light Blood Road. 813
• Allowed Stana to become an Archangel-like manifestation long enough to reach the Life Passage. 813
• Its divine power was finite and fully exhausted after the crossing. 813
