Lanthanum

Evading the spotlight.

Quiet, unassuming Lanthanum always seems to escape notice…making her a perfect gossip-gatherer for The 118 Periodical. With her array of SUPER-TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENSES, she documents drama from a healthy distance, then promptly reports her findings to Erbium. As the technician for the Periodical, she’s also responsible for lighting and filming Ytterbium’s interviews—just don’t expect her to show her face to the camera.
