Lan Fan: Loyalty “Lan Fan” (Via MyAnimeList) ![]() I’m not advocating that women should be objectified or be the sight of perfection, instead through Lust’s characterization, one could assume that a woman should be confident in her beauty, inside and out. Hence, Hiromu Arakawa seems to illustrate one perspective of beauty, in which Lust’s body is drawn as a way to appeal to a male’s gaze. The term, “lust” refers to a person’s inner desire for sexual pleasure, or sexual desire for someone. Another act of selflessness is when Riza Hawkeye was on the brink of death, May Chang decides to use her alkahestry to save her as oppose to grabbing the Philosopher’s Stone that is in plain sight.Įven though Lust is an antagonist and her name refers to one of the seven deadly sins, she represents an important trait for women, beauty.
