Lashanies training started at the age of 6, but despite the training, her skills at magic never were outstanding enough to really accomplish great deeds.

She was kept close to her parents, without much contact to other people until she reached her 10th birthday & her parents gave up on the thought of her bringing back the old grace. Instead they took advantage of her small white magic & her singing & tried to make some money by offering her services & letting her sing in the streets.

While he couldn't do anything to help her with her magic, in which he didn't believe anyway, she was quite impressed by him, causing her, to seek his company more.

× the Events of TTS
Season 1

- What the hair!?

During their arrival at Old Corona, Rapunzel and Cassandra hear the singing of a girl.

Later, Lashanie walks in on Rapunzel, when she's just performing the healing incantation on Varian. But since the princess' powers are gone, Lashanie puts herself up to help the boy's wound heal faster.

Confused, but also very curious, Rapunzel starts asking the younger girl about that helpful power of hers, she calls her gift.

Cassandra meanwhile seems to have heared of it before. Some people in town call that healing power "Lashanie's prayer". As Cass mentions this, Lashanie scarcely noticeable wrinkles her nose.

Soon, Eugene shows up and Varian starts showering him in admiration, as he mistakes the man with his storybook hero, Lashanie tries to keep the mess, her friend causes during his excited hymn of praise, as small as possible. She picks up the books that fell to the floor. Doing so, she keeps humming the melody to the song she sang before. Eugene recognizes her, as the one he heared, when he arrived in Old Corona - this earns her the nickname "Singing Bird".

Team Awesome heads off to get the printing machine and Lashanie stays with Rapunzel and Cassandra.

Watching the princess go through all different strange tests, she apologizes on Varian's behalf. She then explains, that Varian might come of as overly ambitious and a little clumsy, but that he's very smart and she's sure he'll be able to help Rapunzel.

The princess smiles kindly, hearing the girl talk so dearly about her friend. Her and Cassandra dart a knowing glance at each other.

When Varian's pumps start to cause real trouble and Eugene finally tells them about the gravity of the situation, Lashanie hurries off immediately, to help her friend shutting the pumps down in time.

Thanks to Cassandra, neither Varian nor Lashanie get hurt when the explosion happens.

Once again, one of Varian's experiments went wrong and caused damage and so, Quirin doesn't even try to hide his disappointment.

While she helps him to clean up the mess, Lashanie tries to comfort the young alchemist.

.

- Queen for a day

Lashanie is at home in old corona with Varian when the situation in the village gets worse because of those black rocks.

As Varian leaves with his father to see the king, she hopes they'll find a solution soon enough. Of course she doesn't go with them & so she waits for their return.

When Varian comes back home, he tells her about the lie his father told the king & as he decides to take care of it himself, Lashanie tries to assist him, like she did so many times the past years. She believes in him & is sure together the can find a way to fix everything.

The storm comes, it gets cold & uncomfortable inside the lab, so Lashanie goes to get some warm clothes for Varian & herself. When she comes back, Varian is devastated. First, she doesn't really get the whole situation & wants to go with him to Corona, but he takes his coat & asks her to stay with Quirin & try to slow down the amber.

As there's nothing she can do, the amber completly closes around Quirin, so it's too late when Varian comes back. She tries to comfort him but he sends her off.

.

- The alchemist returns / secret of the sundrop

Lashanie still tries to help Varian as good as she can, even though his mind closes more & more with each passing day. The lack of help from the people around them isn't helping either, to make the situation more bearable.

She helps him creating his plot against the royal family, without really realizing what she's doing there.

Getting closer to make his plans come true, he get's very irritable & when Lashanie plays with Ruddiger while having a break, the chiming of the little bell on her bracelet annoys him so much, that he grabs her arm shouting at her in anger, claiming he couldn't work with all that noise she makes.

Surprised & a little shocked, she pulls her arm away, just staring at him with wide opened eyes for a few seconds, before leaving without a word. As she passes the door, she just hears him mumble "fine by me"...

She goes home & with no idea what to do next, she just lies in bed crying, shaken by all the bad things that happened.

Soon her parents come to take her with them to the castle. They get there by their horses, Lashanie sitting in front of her dad. As soon as they arrive, they get informed of the assault & Lashanie should help some of the guards, who remained in the castle, to recover.

Only when they are telling them, that everyone else went to Old Corona to stop Varian, she snaps out of her apathy.

Her father get's off of the horse first, stretching his arms to take her down. That moment she grabs the reins, calmly saying "I'm sorry" & heading off on her dads horse to Old Corona.

She's late and when she arrives there, the fight is already raging. Fastly Lashanie gets off the horse & runs to Eugene, who's engaged in a fight against an enormous machine.

When she asks him for Varian's whereabouts, the ground starts shaking, Rapunzel & her parents run from Varian's house & then another machine appears from the shatters of the house, with Varian inside it. Lashanie brings herself in front of the machine, telling him to stop.

But after a very short argument, that ends with Varian sticking to his resolve & turning down her pleadings, he gives her a light push with the machines arm. Light, but still enough to get her out of the way & unconscious for the next few minutes.

When she gets back up, Varian is being arrasted by the guards. She tries to run towards him, crying for them to stop, but a hand grabs her arm - her father, who followed her there.

She shouts out a promise to Varian, that she'll never give up on him, no matter what.

× after the main events

Lashanie's family moves to corona. Their new home there is small & they don't feel very comfortable with it, but as Old Cororna is pretty much destroyed, they don't have a real choice.

After they've got parted, when Varian attacked the royal family, Lashanie realizes, that it's not just friendship, that draws her to the little alchemist. She finally accepts, that she's in love with Varian, finding herself ready, to fight for him.

She tries to see Varian as often as possible, even after he's been taken away by the guards. Since things still are a mess, she decides, to keep her feelings a secret for some time more, until they can find a solution to all this problems surrounding them.

As Varian can't do anything to free his father at this point, Lashanie promises, she'll search for clues & she'll do everything to get their lifes back to normal.

Season 3

- Rapunzel's return

As the Separarists of Saporia take over Corona, Lashanie hides with Xavier and the others.

Fearing, she might be able to change Varian's mind, Andrew makes sure, she won't get near him anymore.

Lashanie tries to break into the castle on her own several times, but always fails.

This is leaving her unable to talk to Varian, whilst Andrew lies to him, saying she doesn't show up anymore, because she gave up on him.

So when Rapunzel & Co. arrive, Lashanie is begging them, to let her help, when they should try to get insinde the castle again.

While Rapunzel is in prison with Varian, he tells her, how he wanted everyone to forget, because he doesn't think they'd ever forgive him - including Lashanie.

The thought of her losing all the memories they share saddens him, but he believes this is the only way, he could ever really be with her again, unintentionally admitting his love for her to Rapunzel.

She assures him, that Lashanie wishes nothing more, than to see him again.

As Eugene and Lance come to free Rapunzel, Lashanie accompanies them.

When Lance steps aside, making the way free for Varian, the two young lovers finally see each other again, after being separated for far too long.

Before going on the balloon, Varian struggles to tell Lashanie about his feelings for her. Knowing this, once again, isn't the right time, she states, "It's alright, I'll still be there when you get back."

She can't keep up with Eugene & Lance, when they follow the carriage & so she's left waiting, watching the balloon, having the most precious cargo on it.

Lashanie goes with Rapunzel & Varian, when she uses the hurt incantation, to free his dad. Never before she's been so relieved, as when she sees Varian happy again, Quirin neing alive while nothing bad happened to Rapunzel.

When the people of Corona celebrate in the streets, Varian & Lashanie dance with each other. While spinning around they finally say "I love you", almost at the same time

.

-The lost treasure of Herz der Sonne

On the treasure hunt, Lashanie joins rather late.

She drops into Xavier's shop, while him and Varian are preparing to leave.

Because the teams are already set up, she just accompanies them. (Cheating?)

When Varian starts to complain about Xavier's legends, she tells him, how he helped her a bunch, while they were separated and how she grew very fond of the old blacksmith.

Later, while fighting the mummies, she accidently breaks the head of the spear Xavier gave her.

During that fight the alchemist is rescued by Xavier & Varian sees, how Lashanie was right about him.

They walk back to Corona holding hands, listening to one of Xavier's long legends.

Soon Varian tries to make a better material for Lashanie's spearhead. He creates a crystal-like material, that hardly breaks.

The prototype, he turns into an earring, of five connected gems - a gift for his girl.

.

- Be very afraid

The spread of red rocks, give her a hard time to tell apart reality from her imagination, since her fear, the red rocks react to, is chaos - people fighting each other, the kingdom falling apart & ultimately, Varian being the cause of destruction, controlling one of his altered automatons.

In the end, she's able to push this fear aside. When the illusion of the automaton is about to crush her, she stands tall against it, reminding herself, that this isn't what Varian's like.

The moment she'd have to take the hit, the illusion disappears.

.

- Cassandra's revenge

Varian has moved his work to decipher the scroll, to the Demanitus chamber. He wants to do his work in solitude mostly and so Lashanie usually only visits him on his request during that time.

But the past days she's been having bad dreams, nightmares of the scroll and the moonstone, turning worse with each passing night.

Since that nightmares started, she has mixed feelings about Varian's work.

The night before Eugene's birthday, her nightmare was more terrifying than ever, showing her scenes of massive destruction and she decides, to tell Varian about it, once the preparations for Eugene's party are done.

So when everything for the party is set, Lashanie leaves, missing the party itself.

She heads to the Demanitus chamber, meeting Varian there.

He does listen to her concerns, but assures her "Everything will be fine!"

To lift her mood, he tells her, that he's almost solved the secret of the scroll anyway.

Hearing that, she puts her worries aside and stays to simply spend some time with her boyfriend.

They don't know about Cassandra's appearance on Eugene's party and her wish for the scroll.

Only short time later, Rapunzel accompanied by Eugene, Lance, Max and Pascal, drops in, looking for the scroll.

Varian tells Rapunzel what he's been able to find out, right before Cassandra makes an entrance, wanting to take the scroll with her.

Knowing it's too dangerous, to simply give it to her, they try to stop Cassandra.

Rapunzel still believes she could talk some sense into her friend. Lashanie alas is sure, Cassandra means bad danger, thinking to see one of the elements from her nightmare in the young woman.

In order to at least stop Cassandra from receiving the incantation, Lashanie and Varian leave the fighting to their friends and start mixing a potion, to erase the translation key from the wall.

When the translation is destroyed, everyone else is caught up in some kind of disaster and Cassandra plans to kidnap Varian, who's now the only one with knowledge of the incantation, Lashanie blocks her way.

"You have to go through me first!"

Cassandra warns her. "Don't push your luck girl."

But when she actually wants to lay hands on Varian, Lashanie strikes out with her spear, hoping to get her to leave.

Cassandra flinches and a few black rocks rise to shield her.

Lashanie's spear hits the rocks, but it doesn't simply break, like most weapons would do. Instead, a few shards flake off, one of them hitting Lashanie in the left eye.

For a moment, Cassandra remains motionless, shocked by the sight of Lashanie, who sank to the ground and Varian, who immediately kneeled down by her side.

But Cassandra's ghostly companion tells her, to use this chance and leave, so she grabs Varian and tries to get away.

Lashanie pushes herself back up, taking the hand, Varian's stretching out to her.

Yet, Cassandra's stronger than them, she tears the teens apart from each other.

Trying to run after them, Lashanie follows Cassandra, but she has no chance of keeping up with her, not with the blood blurring her sight and the pain beating inside her head.

Outside, Rapunzel and the others find her, down on her knees once again, pressing her hand to her face.

Only then Rapunzel realizes, how bad Lashanie has been hurt. The friends try to help her, but she doesn't let them.

"No, don't waste time on me! Stop Cassandra!"

Cass is nowhere to be seen and Rapunzel tells her, that they're gone.

Desperately, she throws her fist on the ground, starting to cry.

That's when suddenly, the plants surrounding them, show a strange reaction to her. They seem to grow, seem to become more vital.

Her connection to the earth's flow of energy, saves her eyesight and helps her to slowly calm down.

Though the worst of her injury heals through that power, the incident leaves it's mark - the injury causes heterochromia to her left eye, turning it into a light blue with green emphasis.

Ignoring Lashanie's protest, Rapunzel takes her back to the castle, together with the rest of the group.

There, the friends plan their next steps, when Cassandra makes it lot easier for them, to find her, by creating a giant black rock tower, right where Gothel's old tower once stood.

Getting there is no real problem for the group, but getting in is far more difficult. And while Lashanie wants to simply climb the whole way, Rapunzel insists she stays with her, so she won't get hurt again.

Soon Cassandra lets them in herself, advised by her strange friend. Inside, when the group splits up, Lashanie sticks with Rapunzel and Eugene and after a while, they finally find Varian.

He's in a cage that's, of course, formed of black rocks. The cage itself is outside of the tower, only connected to it, by small bridge.

But the missing safety of the passage and the height don't stop Lashanie from running to him. Thanks to her agility, she gets to him save and sound.

Though Varian's quite shocked, what happened to her eye, the teens are still endlessly happy to find to other to be fine overall.

Yet, Varian still has to get the fourth incantation, so Rapunzel will be able to stand a chance against the moonstone's power. In order to unlock the last secret of the scroll, he needs a concentrated beam of sunlight.

Rapunzel hands Eugene the ring, she actually wanted to propose to him with and while Eugene makes his way over the small bridge, Rapunzel leaves to find Cassandra.

When Eugene's almost reached Varian, he wants to hand him the ring, but it slips off his hand is being caught by Lashanie.

Using the ring, Varian discovers the fourth incantation.

Inside, Rapunzel refuses to fight Cassandra. Incited by her ghost companion, Cass decides, to use Eugene, to push Rapunzel.

She pulls the cage back inside and Eugene bravely puts himself in front of Varian and Lashanie to protect them.

"Stay close kids!"

Cassandra catches him with her powers and chains Lashanie's legs to the ground, so she can't interfere.

When she threatens to crush Eugene with her the black rocks, Varian gives Rapunzel the incantation he just deciphered and the princess unleashes unexpected powers.

The powers of the moonstone and sundrop collide and the impact blows Varian and Lashanie off the tower.

They get caught by Lance, who's been lost in the corridors of the fortress with Kiera, Catalina & Max.

"See? There they are. And I led us right to them."

At the end of that crazy day, Eugene finally gets to make his birthday wish and have some cake with his friends.

.

- The final episodes

After Cassandra took Varian and fought Rapunzel in her tower, everyone agrees, that Corona needs to be better prepared in case of an attack.

Lashanie spends more time helping Varian with his inventions, for the safety of Corona. One of them is "the Rooster" - an early-warning system (that sadly gets ruined by Lance)

The goodwill festival comes and Lashanie attends together with her parents and Rhonda, while Eugene and Varian stand guard. When Cassandra gets revealed to be disguised as the handmaiden Faith, panic spreads - the guards mistakes her intentions, thinking she came to harm Rapunzel. And when Varian's new invented gun fires, unintended by him, and encases Cassandra in amber, she drops all hope to make amends with Corona. Instead, she annouces it's downfall.

After a fight, which they are unable to win, and when Rapunzel had gone unconcious from a potion Cassandra threw at her, Lashanie escapes with the other people of Corona, finding shelter at the Snuggly Duckling.

Soon the decision is made, to take Corona back, with Rapunzel leading them on.

(Lashanie's line in "Through it all":

Varian (sung): Onward we ride

Who knows if we will make it back?

Lashanie (spoken): Of course we will!

(sung):We stand against the tide

Face the greatest storm as one

Arianna (sung): We're at your side

[to Rapunzel]

Rapunzel (sung): Together we'll come through )

Before they actually head to fight for Corona, Varian mentions a portal, Demanitus has built to banish Zhan Tiri into the netherworld. To get the plans, so they can rebuild that portal, they have to travel to Demanitus tomb.

Inside that tomb, they find the notes they need, just like a whole lot of monkeys living there and the apparatus, Demanitus used to switch minds with a monkey.

While the others try to catch the primates, who snatched the notes right under Rapunzel's nose, Lance can't keep his hands off the mind switch gun. So first Varian, then Eugene, later Rapunzel and also Kiera get's switched with one of the monkeys. Lashanie's lucky enough, she doesn't become a victim of Lance's mischief.

"I tell you Lance, don't you dare to fire your monkey gun on me!"

As soon as everyone got turned back to normal, Rapunzel got the notes and they find out, that the protal needs to be set up in the castle, so it'll be close enough to Zhan Tiri, they return to their waiting friends and families - ready to fight for their home.

Lashanie and Rhonda ride to battle on Ruddiger's back, after Varian stretched his hand out to her.

"Hey, need a ride?"

Arriving at the castle, they begin to build the protal, while Rapunzel leaves on her own, to search for Cassandra.

Just when the set up is done and ready for use, Quirin falls into the control of the mind trap Cassandra stole from the spire. But before he can pull the leaver that activates the portal, the mechanism Varian built into his helmet takes him out.

When Eugene leaves aswell, to look for Rapunzel, Hamuel sits on the leaver - activating the portal unintentionally - Lashanie and everyone else in the room, get sucked into the Lost Realm.

That netherworld causes strange changes. So while the streak in Varian's hair turns into a living, talking snake, Lashanie grows physical traits of an arctic fox and the color of her hair changes. On top of that, she can only sing her words. (Which the snake in Varian's hair seems to enjoy, unlike Kiera)

After a while, Eugene manages to save them for the Lost Realm and they get back to their normal selves.

Zhan Tiri takes the moonstone from Cassandra and the sundrop from Rapunzel, causing the castle walls to come down and everyone has to get out fast. Their plan to banish Zhan Tiri with the portal, needs to be dropped - it gets crushed by falling rubble.

Outside, Zhan Tiri shows herself to the people of Corona in her ultimate form, ready to destroy the kingdom. Side by side with all her friends, her lover and her family, Lashanie fights for her home.

"For Corona! For Rapunzel!"

But soon, when Zhan Tiri uses the decay incantation, the battle seems lost.

In the end, Rapunzel and Cassandra save them all - they defeat Zhan Tiri and Rapunzel sends the united stones back to space.

Finally Corona's back in the hands of it's people and they can look into a bright future again.

Before Cassandra leaves to find her own destiny, her and Lashanie have a talk. Cassandra apologizes for what happened in the Demanitus chamber, only to find, that Lashanie doesn't feel any resentment towards her at all.

While Varian becomes the royal science expert, Lashanie keeps singing - just like she always wanted to. But she doesn't simply go on as a street performer - the owner of a small theater hears her singing and offers her, to take her performance to a real stage. She becomes the star of the theather's musical shows.
