Lanzhu Zhong

Lanzhu Zhong is a second year student that just recently transferred to Nijigasaki High School. She is from Hong Kong and thus speaks the Chinese language fluently.

Background
Lanzhu applied to Nijigasaki with her friend Mia Taylor. She is childhood friends with Shioriko Mifune, who is the current student council president.

She was first introduced in Chapter 19 of the Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS story and since Chapter 20 she is the leader of School Idol Association, initially banning School Idol Club activities but allowing it in parallel with the Association until its subsequent dissolution in Chapter 28.

Personality
Since she was a kid Lanzhu was treated as a gifted girl due to her great skills in dance and sing, but this generated insecurity in her as she was treated as "special" and not as an equal among her peers.

Despite showing herself as a charismatic girl sometimes her personality is shocked by how demanding she can be with her colleagues so that they achieve excellent results, which leads her to make questionable decisions. Even so, she doesn't hesitate to seek in every possible way to make friends with the others.
