Lana (FPE)

Lana from Fundamental Paper Education (FPE) is a mysterious, soft-spoken student known for her pale gray skin, long gray ponytail, and the strange sock puppets she wears on both hands. Her design stands out — dark clothes, a collared gray shirt over a black undershirt, patched pants, and simple shoes, giving her an eerie yet innocent appearance. Her black eyes make her look distant, yet there’s a quiet curiosity behind them. The sock puppets, each with googly eyes, seem to act as her emotional voice when she cannot express herself. Some fans interpret this as her using them to cope with social anxiety or loneliness. Despite her oddities, Lana was one of the kindest students at Paper School, often helping her friend Abbie, who secretly had a crush on her. Lana’s personality is gentle and introverted. She has trouble understanding lessons, often lost in thought or doodling with her puppets instead of paying attention. Still, she never caused trouble, preferring to observe others rather than speak. She’s patient and empathetic, always listening when her classmates needed comfort. Her friendship with Abbie was the heart of her story—sweet, innocent, and tragically short-lived. In the FPE episode Basics in Behavior, Lana’s kindness is what leads to her death: she witnesses Abbie being attacked by the teacher, Miss Circle, and tries to help. Her bravery costs her life. The wiki notes that she is later found dead, her fate symbolizing the loss of innocence in the series’ dark tone. Even though her role is brief, Lana became a fan favorite for her design and emotional depth. Many viewers sympathize with her shy demeanor and creative, puppet-driven expression. The FPE fandom has since expanded her character through AUs—like the Vampire AU, where she’s blind and uses her puppets as guides. Some fan artists portray her as a spirit watching over Abbie. Her quiet bravery, strange charm, and tragic story make Lana one of FPE’s most haunting and beloved characters
