Oulan (オウラン, Ouran) is a character in Suikoden II who also appears in Genso Suikogaiden Vol.2. She is a powerful bodyguard hailing from the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia.
History
|
Oulan was a bodyguard for hire who combined her impressive fighting technique with her stylish sensibilities. She wielded the Angry Dragon Rune in combat, making her even more powerful. She was also compassionate and could agree to work to protect a client regardless of payment or compensation if she felt inclined to.
As someone who fought to protect others rather than to attack, Oulan found a special meaning in her work as a bodyguard, as opposed to fighting as a mercenary. She saw a similar promise and heart in the leader of the New State Army after helping him dispatch a gang of thugs who had become notorious for harassing women in Kuskus Town. Afterwards, she would offer to assist the force, free of charge.
In battle, her bodyguard skills would ensure that any allies defeated on the battlefield would be protected until they could retreat. While at the New State Army Headquarters, her attractiveness and physical strength earned her a fan-club, comprised mostly of women.
Following the war, she would remain in the new Dunan Republic as a captain within the newly formed national guard for a time before embarking on a journey to escort Sheena to the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia in that capacity. In Marid Village, she would help Nash fight against the feral black dragon attacking the village, her strength and Fire Dragon Rune able to daunt even a foe as powerful as a dragon.

Trivia
- Although Oulan's measurement is given as "96-60-89" (38-24-35 in inches) in the original Japanese version, the English-language localisation gives it as 90-60-89, cutting six centimeters from her bust.
- Incidentally, although Richmond reports the memo with Oulan's measurements, the note itself belonged to Sheena and was a visual estimation, not a hard measurement.
