Appearance and Personality
Oerba Yun Fang
Fang is a rather tall woman, standing at 5'9". She has an Arabian appearance, and despite her chronological age, she has the physical appearance of a twenty-one year old young woman. She has wavy black hair with a braid behind her left ear, piercing green eyes, pierced ears adorned with purple claw-shaped earrings, and she wears blue clothing that closely resembles the traditional Indian Sari, adorned with tribal accessories. She also wears a short black top, tan leather, open-toed boots, and two fur pelts hanging from a belt that holds her staff behind her. Her clothing is very foreign, especially when compared to some of the clothes worn by other characters in the game. Oerba Dia Vanille dresses in a similar style, as they are from the same village in Gran Pulse. She and Vanille also share a similar Australian accent in the English version of the game. She has the brand of a l'Cie on her right shoulder and a large tattoo on the other. Unlike the other main characters in the game whose brands are black and change as the story progresses, Fang's l'Cie brand is white and does not change.
Character designer Tetsuya Nomura stated that when compared to other characters personality-wise, Fang is stronger than Lightning and more stubborn than Snow Villiers. During the development, most of Lightning's sex appeal was transferred to Fang to make Lightning a more serious character. As a result, Fang is very flirtatious although this was toned down in the overseas release. Fang also has a compassionate side to her, especially when it comes to Vanille, who she treats like a sister.

Final Fantasy XIII Episode Zero: Promise
Fang wakes from crystal stasis with no past memories
Fang helps Vanille escape the Euride Gorge Energy Plant
Fang is a resident of Gran Pulse, along with Oerba Dia Vanille, and a l'Cie like the rest of the main cast. Centuries before the events of the game, during the War of Transgression between Gran Pulse and Cocoon, Fang and Vanille both lost their families at the hands of Cocoon's l'Cie and fal'Cie and became close friends after meeting at Oerba's orphanage. Fang developed a deep grudge against Anima for failing to protect the people of Gran Pulse and became a l'Cie to protect both Gran Pulse and Vanille, the latter becoming an l'Cie as well. As a result, Fang and Vanille both hold the power to become Ragnarok to fulfill the Focus of destroying Cocoon. But as Vanille was fearful of the power bestowed to them, Fang became Ragnarok all by herself to protect her and complete their Focus. Even though Fang was unable to destroy Cocoon alone, Fang and Vanille were crystallized by the Goddess. Five hundred years later, after Galenth brought her and Vanille to Cocoon, Fang revived with no memory of the events dealing with Ragnarok and her l'Cie brand scorched. Eventually, Fang manages to have Vanille escape from the Euride Gorge Energy Plant while she fought off their pursuers. Soon after, Fang meets Sanctum official Cid Raines, who shows sympathy to her cause and offers to help her in finding Vanille.

"Let Cocoon get what's comin'. They hate us for being l'Cie. What's it to me if they die? Better that than watch a friend go Cie'th!"
—Fang against the party
Fang apprehends Snow
Fang meets Snow Villiers in Lake Bresha after his battle with the Shiva Sisters and brings him aboard the Lindblum to meet Cid Raines. There, she finds out about the other l'Cie and Vanille and decides to help Snow in hopes of finding her. After helping him rescue Lightning and Hope in Palumpolum, Fang joins the party and goes off with Lightning. She talks to Lightning about how she became a Gran Pulse l'Cie five hundred years ago alongside Vanille and how they must have completed their Focus since they were in crystal stasis. However, she couldn't seem to remember what their Focus was. She also mentions that when they awoke, they wandered Cocoon trying to remember their Focus but found nothing. Determined to prevent Vanille from becoming a Cie'th, Fang forced Vanille to split up from her. Fang now intends to find Vanille and help her complete her Focus. Fang also explains to her how a l'Cie turns into a Cie'th and how much time you left depending on your brand.
Fang and Lightning in Palumpolum
Later, the party meets up with Cid Raines and Rygdea only to find out that Vanille and Sazh have been taken in by the Sanctum and will be executed. Not willing to let that happen, the group decide to infiltrate the Sanctum Skyfleet and save the two. When Fang finally meets up with Vanille, the two share a hug before Fang checks her brand to see how far along she is, and is relieved to see that Vanille still has time left. After that, the party encounters Galenth Dysley, who is actually a fal'Cie named Barthandelus. After the party defeat him, he goes on to talk about their Focus and that one of them will have to become Ragnarok and destroy Orphan.
Fang goes against the party.
At some point within the Fifth Ark, the party appears ready to give up on their Focus, not willing to destroy Cocoon. Fang disagrees and gets ready to fight the party. She claims that she does not care if Cocoon is destroyed because it is better than seeing her friends turn into Cie'th. However, her l'Cie brand begins to glow and summons Bahamut, which Fang has to fight (with help from Lightning and Vanille).
On Gran Pulse, in the Flower-filled Fissure of the Mah'habara Subterra, on the way to Oerba, Fang lies to Vanille about remembering everything that happened five hundred years ago. When Vanille's brand starts glowing and summons Hecatoncheir, Fang realizes that Vanille remembered everything from the past, including their Focus to destroy Cocoon. Fang says she realized something was off about Vanille concerning their Focus, ever since Raines told that story in the Fifth Ark.
After defeating Barthandelus in Orphan's Cradle, Fang decides to assume the form of Ragnarok and attempts to kill Orphan, knowing Vanille never wanted to become Ragnarok in the first place. Fang, not fully willing to destroy Orphan along with Cocoon manages only breaking the shell of Orphan before turning back into a human. As a way of forcing Fang into taking the form of Ragnarok again and finishing the job, Fang is subjected to torture by Orphan in an agonizing cycle of being painfully attacked and then healed, as to allow the anger that Orphan hoped would accumulate to fuel her. Vanille has to see her closest friend suffer before her eyes, and right as Vanille is about to fight Orphan herself, saying that she promised not to run away anymore, the rest of the party arrives, telling both Vanille and Fang that they were tricked by Orphan into believing that had become Cie'th. They manage to save Fang and apologize for not being there. After Orphan's destruction, Fang and Vanille decide to become Ragnarok and save Cocoon. After both successfully destroying and saving Cocoon, Fang and Vanille are left in a crystallized state as they have completed their focus from five hundred years ago and destroyed Cocoon.
