Background / History

Transmigration and the Reno Family

A Luo is an adult soul from a law-governed society who awakens in the body of the young Lola Reno. Initially unable to recall the original girl’s identity or home, she shelters beneath a bridge after losing a Heavens Arena match. Malena calls the police, while Fan’en searches in his mind-controlled wheelchair and finds her first 8 21 23.

Fan’en had reached Heavens Arena’s 200th floor in half a month, only to be deliberately crippled by Nen users because he knew nothing about Nen. He transfers his ambition to Lola, hoping she will become the arena’s strongest fighter. Malena supports the household through a nearby dessert shop and treats Lola’s frequent injuries 1 7.

Knowing the world from the original manga, Lola hopes to avoid its central storyline and live quietly. Instead, she repeatedly competes under her father’s direction, exaggerating her injuries whenever possible to prolong her recovery at home 1.

Friendship with Killua

Lola first encounters Killua while sneaking toward the kitchen after Fan’en withholds dinner as punishment for a loss. She later hides the injured boy in her room, treats his wounds, and introduces him to Malena as a friend. Killua stays with the family and pushes Lola through a month of training that substantially improves her performance 1 3.

Their friendship includes retaliatory pranks: Lola gives him chocolate with sweet pepper filling, and he makes her drink ginger tea. Illumi’s appearance terrifies her, and she downplays her connection to Killua when he questions her. Two years later, Killua reaches the 200th floor and returns to the Zoldyck estate 3 4 5 6.

Family Destruction and Capture

After a violent attack on the Reno household, Lola retrieves Fan’en’s severed head and places it beside his body. She promises to rescue Malena, whose whereabouts remain unknown. The loss forces her to confront the brutality of the Hunter world beyond anything she had experienced in her previous life 8 30.

The Phantom Troupe takes her to its Meteor City base. Pakunoda discovers that Lola’s accessible memories do not explain her knowledge of Nen abilities, while Chrollo becomes increasingly interested in the contradiction. Lola realizes that maintaining his curiosity may be essential to staying alive 9.

When Feitan injures her left little finger during interrogation, she invents a previous life as Kasuga, a deceased Zoldyck butler. Shalnark confirms that Kasuga existed, but the account is presented as Lola’s deception—not her actual former identity 11 12.

Life with the Phantom Troupe

Machi recruits Lola to cook, beginning her role as the Troupe’s “little cook.” After the Spiders eat her entire breakfast without leaving her anything, Lola refuses to prepare lunch until they compensate her. Cooking subsequently becomes her main means of bargaining for food, safety, and undisturbed sleep 10 22 23.

During Silva Zoldyck’s attack, Chrollo throws Lola directly into the fight. She narrowly avoids a fatal strike and tells Silva that Alluka can heal and may grant wishes without a price. Although Silva wounds her abdomen, his hesitation gives Chrollo an opening to attack. Machi stitches Lola’s injuries closed, and Chrollo then studies her unusually rapid healing 16 17.

A book describing the Life Stone, which can create people with exceptional vitality, leads Lola to wonder whether her parents created her with it. This remains her speculation in the provided passages. Chrollo later explicitly connects the stone to the destruction of her family 17 50.

Lola attempts to leave Meteor City with Uvogin, but Chrollo forcibly awakens her Nen on the morning of departure. By the time she stabilizes her aura, Uvogin has already gone. Chrollo subsequently takes her traveling with Feitan, Machi, and Pakunoda aboard a hijacked airship 18 20.

Granny Heidi and the Return to Heavens Arena

At Granny Heidi’s inn, Lola passes Chrollo and Pakunoda off as her parents. She later tries to use Heidi’s concern to escape cooking duties, but Chrollo counters with a fabricated family tradition and pressures her into retracting her accusations 21 24.

After witnessing Granny Heidi’s death, Lola breaks down and curses Chrollo and the Troupe. Fear of retaliation soon drives her to apologize. On returning to Heavens Arena, however, Chrollo’s suggestion that Malena could be used against her provokes a far fiercer response: Lola threatens to kill every Spider who harms her mother 27 30.

Hisoka and the Life Stone’s Return

Hisoka takes Lola to his mountain castle and makes her clean it while restraining her with Bungee Gum. Unknown to her, restaurant surveillance has already identified her as a major suspect in the dine-and-dash murders associated with him 37.

To stay useful, Lola tells Hisoka what she knows about Chrollo and offers to locate promising opponents, including Ging Freecss’s son and a Zoldyck son. She then leads him to the Spiders 38.

During Hisoka’s fight with the Troupe, he pulls Lola into their attacks as a shield, leaving her near death. The group carries her away, and she later awakens at the castle. She resolves to conceal her knowledge more carefully after Chrollo notices yet another detail she should not know about Hisoka 41 42.

In the latest provided passage, the group has returned to Meteor City and stayed for over a month. Lola grows uneasy about Chrollo’s interest in her before he raises the subject of the Life Stone again 50.

Appearance

• Childlike, doll-like appearance: Granny Heidi describes her as looking “just like a doll” and compliments her beauty 22.
• Small stature: Barely reaches Chrollo’s waist 28.
• Eyes and hair: Heidi compares Lola’s eyes to Chrollo’s and her hair to Pakunoda’s while believing their false family story; the passage does not directly specify their colors 22.
• Scars: Shows scars on her arm while appealing to Granny Heidi for help 24.

Personality

Lola initially prioritizes comfort and an ordinary life over becoming a fighter. She fears pain, injury, and death, shirks training, and uses her mother’s concern to avoid returning to the arena. Her internal commentary is irreverent and frequently much bolder than her outwardly obedient behavior 1 2 6 9.

Her survival strategy relies on appeasement, bargaining, selective honesty, and making herself useful. She trades cooking for protection, invents explanations when questioned, and readily changes sides when Hisoka threatens her. These tactics can keep her alive, but Chrollo repeatedly notices inconsistencies she overlooks 11 23 27 38 42.

Despite adapting to the Spiders, Lola remains horrified by their violence. She vomits after witnessing a killing and grieves for Granny Heidi. Her strongest attachment is to her family: the prospect of Malena being harmed overrides her usual caution and draws out murderous resolve 20 27 30.

Abilities & Skills

Martial Arts

Lola has trained under Fan’en and receives practical instruction from Killua 1 3.

• Can identify openings, evade attacks, and deliver a controlled neck-pressure-point strike to knock an opponent unconscious 3.
• Uses feigned unconsciousness to create an opening against a stronger opponent 4.
• Remains far below veteran fighters such as Feitan; she recognizes that aura alone cannot substitute for combat experience and a developed finishing move 22.

Nen

Chrollo awakens Lola’s Nen by force rather than through gradual training 18.

• Can regulate her aura, sense Nen, and use Gyo 18 19 37 39.
• Initially possesses a very small aura reserve 19.
• Produces ominous dark purplish-red aura when enraged over a threat to Malena 30.

Exceptional Vitality

Her durability and healing exceed those of an ordinary person even before her Nen awakening 17.

• Injuries that could leave others bedridden for months can heal completely in under a month 17.
• Chrollo judges her physical condition comparable to that of people who have already awakened Nen 17.
• Her recovery is not invulnerability: surviving Silva’s abdominal wound also requires Machi’s Nen stitches 17.

Knowledge of the Original Story

Lola remembers the original manga and knows secrets that ordinary residents of this world should not possess 9 15 19.

• Knows Pakunoda’s activation conditions, Chrollo’s ability-stealing conditions, and information about Alluka 9 16 27.
• Anticipates future dangers involving Hisoka, Kurapika, and the sealing of Chrollo’s Nen 15.
• Cannot rely on that knowledge to predict Chrollo’s actions once events diverge from the plot 34.
• Pakunoda can access her post-transmigration memories but not those of her previous life; the reason remains unresolved 9.

Cooking and Negotiation

Food gives Lola leverage despite her weak combat position within the Troupe 10 20.

• Prepares congee, porridge, shumai, soup dumplings, desserts, and elaborate meals 10 11 22.
• Negotiates payment after being left hungry and exchanges meals for peaceful sleep 10 23.

• Fan’en Reno — Father and demanding trainer. Lola resists his ambitions but later remembers his concern and vows to rescue Malena after his death 1 8 23.
• Killua Zoldyck — Her first friend in the Hunter world, temporary housemate, and training partner 3 6 30.

• Pakunoda — Investigates Lola’s memories and later joins the agreement guaranteeing peaceful sleep in exchange for meals 9 23.
• Uvogin — Agrees to her request to accompany him, subject to Chrollo’s response, but departs while she is undergoing her forced Nen awakening 18.
