After grueling training and many field missions, Fang has fulfilled her wish of passing her evaluation and formally becoming a Rhodes Island operator. Through first-hand experience, she has honed her mind and abilities, mastering both battlefield command and the communication skills required on the front lines. In times of crisis, she is no longer the impetuous girl she once was. She now has the skill and patience required to solve any issue.

I've arranged today's paperwork by category, Doctor. Allow me to assist you with it.
I ran into Hibiscus and Lava the last time I came aboard. They were bickering about something or other, as per usual. The two sisters might've grown a lot, but they still love their daily squabbles. Doctor, do you think everybody has one thing about them... that they can never change?
What do I do with my time off? Hmm... Well, last time, I went to see the Red Hand Gang and the survivors of that incident. Their perseverance helped me understand, on a deeper level, why Rhodes Island helps people.
Please don't avoid necessary training, Doctor. You see, I never missed a single training session. I wouldn't say it makes you totally untouchable in battle, but it can keep you alive. My two scars are proof of that.
I often think back to when Ace encouraged me to join Rhodes Island. He said I'd become a great operator. That's been my motivation to keep me going through my training. But... it was only when I officially became an operator, that I understood the weight of his expectations.
What has war revealed to you, Doctor? When I finally stood on the battlefield myself, I came to understand that many commanders see their troops as sacrificial pawns for victory. Ever since, I've always been reviewing and reassessing how I lead my squad. I'm not going to let myself become that kind of commander.
Once back in Londinium, some soldiers from the coalition of dukes laughed at us, calling us fools. But if Rhodes Island's operations really are foolish, then I doubt any action on this land could be called wise.
I sometimes go to the training grounds to guide the recruits. Most times, I'm more worried than they are about any mistakes. I always feel like I should be doing something to help push them along faster. But as Instructor Dobermann always says, I need to relax and give them more time. It looks like I still have a lot to learn.
Oripathy and the Infected are two very big and complex topics. The only thing I can worry about is protecting the people in front of me. But I'd like to believe that, someday, we'll find a solution to those problems. I'll be supporting you the whole way, Doctor.
Doctor...? Oh, you are asleep. I'll handle the rest of your work, then.
There have been many clear changes since Fang became a regular operator. She's grown taller, her taste in equipment leans even further towards practicality, and she goes on more field missions than before. The smile on her face has also dimmed somewhat, but that is not to say that she has become cold-hearted. She is simply more reserved, more reliable, and more resolute. She has experienced partings and witnessed tragedy, and is always trying her best to stay calm and cool-headed. Only in the most extraordinary of circumstances does her facade break. When asked about her changes, she said: 'This is how a team captain should act.' Not everything about Fang has changed, though. She's just as good at observing her teammates as she ever was, able to analyze their combat habits and preferred tactics. Her enthusiasm towards her work, her care for her teammates, and her adaptability in unexpected situations haven't changed either. Thanks to this, after formally becoming an operator, she was assigned to lead a field team of her own. She continues to learn and accumulate experience, taking on the duty of growing alongside her comrades.
During the rare opportunities they have to meet, Fang's old friends constantly ask her about her most recent missions. From her teammates to the mission objective, from preliminary plans to the after-action report, no detail escaped their barrage of questions. Beagle told her that it's because everyone wanted to know what brought about her change. Was it all the field missions? Doesn't seem like it. Was it her scar? Doesn't seem like it. Was it some life-changing event? Still no. So why? Everyone turned towards Fang. After a good deal of self-reflection, she gave her answer: 'Maybe it was all of that together.'
The reserve operators have noticed a female Kuranta hanging around the training room recently. At times, Instructor Dobermann will allow this operator named Fang to act as her assistant and help prepare exercises for them. At first, everyone was wary of this new instructor. The reason was simple: like Dobermann, she rarely spared time for jokes or small talk, and many first took her to be practically a clone of Dobermann. But in truth, this hard-to-approach assistant instructor was a kind-hearted veteran operator good at expressing her care for the younger generation. One time, a reserve op team ended a combat exercise with only crushing defeats. That night, they nervously awaited Fang's admonishment—they were unfamiliar with her as she only returned to Rhodes Island between missions, and only saw her as assistant instructor. But the reality was the opposite of their expectations. Upon seeing her trainees lowering their heads in silent guilt over their mistakes in the mock combat, the first thing she did was tell them not to worry. Then, she took the time to break down what every trainee did right as well as where they were lacking, before concluding with a few suggestions for their daily training. Since then, she often talks to the trainees outside of training, and even gives advice on unrelated issues in their lives. To go from a childish student to an operator able to command her own team, one needs not only a strict training regimen, but a resolute heart. As Fang would gladly share, that's something all Rhodes Island operators need to experience for themselves. After all, it took her own experiences to finally understand it herself. Ace had supported her over the years, along with many others like Dobermann. Their influence has had a profound effect on her growing up. Now, she takes up her calling as an operator in her own way.

Fang3★ · VanguardRhodes Island Operator Fang, reporting in. I look different from before? Yeah, that's right.
Now I better understand what I've learned.
Thank you for the promotion. I'll work even harder to improve myself.
To support the weak and protect my friends. That is my creed. The firm hand guiding me forward.
I've read the intelligence report for this operation. Awaiting orders.
I'm leading the squad? No problem. I've got plenty of experience.
Don't be nervous. Trust your training.
All units, prepare for contact.
Ready whenever.
I'm here.
Arrived at the objective.
Squad, form up!
Halt! Freeze there!
Charge!
Ready to advance.
I'll run you through!
As long as we stay united and keep pushing forward, we have nothing to fear, even from the strongest enemy!
Excellent command as always, Doctor. The team is pretty excited. Why not let them congratulate you?
We barely managed to accomplish our objective. I'll get the team together for a postmortem debriefing. We'll do better next time.
We've been blindsided! All units, ensure your safety, retreat now!
I'm back. Oh? Everyone's here.
Hmm?
Ah! It's you, Doctor. I thought Kroos was pulling another one of her pranks.
Arknights.
Happy New Year, Doctor. This past year's been really busy, but I got to see many places and experience a lot with Rhodes Island. Alright. Let's push ourselves just as hard next year too!
I'm always here for you, Doctor.
Happy birthday, Doctor! Do you have a birthday wish? No no no, don't tell me now. But If there's anything you'd like my help with, you can tell me directly. I'm always at your service.
Rhodes Island's another year older... Time sure flies, and all the former members of Reserve Op Team A1 have joined different departments... Ah, look at me. This is no time to get nostalgic. There's still plenty of new problems for us to tackle.
Ever since Fang started to go out on more missions, the time she spends on Rhodes Island has become ever more brief, but her sense of belonging has never burnt brighter. Every time she returns, she seeks out her old friends from Reserve Op Team A1 to chat about old times, but since everyone now has their own duties, it's rare for them to reunite. Fang always brings them back gifts after a mission, entrusting them to Logistics so the others can pick them up at their convenience. Since she started doing this, she's received more than a few in return. Beagle gave her a pauldron that she and the Engineering operators made during their defensive equipment research, and she wears it to this day. Lava gave her a peculiar Arts unit consisting of three loops, a design of her own make that came to her in a flash of inspiration. Fang wears it on her belt. Hibiscus gave her a purple ribbon she says can be used as a bandage in emergencies. Fang has pinned it to her chest. Kroos gave her two unusually-shaped badges, claiming they were the products of researching one of her 'magic trick' traps. Fang has them attached to the strap of her lance. Through this peculiar display, the former members of A1 show their care for one another. No matter where she goes, Fang always wears them.
The scar on Fang's waist came from an ordinary mission. There was nothing special about it, but she still remembers what happened that day. The strange red light, the shrieking crowd, the Arts tracing arcs across the sky. It was a disaster. Well-trained mercenaries had attacked a village, one that Fang and her team happened to be staying in. She shouted commands at her teammates, but could barely be heard above the clamor. They were scattered. She sees herself in battle. She fights her way through the melee, rushing to high ground, where she fires a Rhodes Island signal flare. Her team puts their Arts to use against the mercenaries while providing the villagers a means of retreat. Flames, explosions, arrows, swords, blood, crumbling houses, shattered glass, weeping children. She runs and runs, never stopping. From one end of the street to the other. She sees mercenaries collapsing while she fights on. She shouts at her fellow operators, telling them to retreat and seek help. The mercenaries rush her, but she does not fall back. And then. And then... She jolts awake from her nightmare, the pain in her abdomen continuing to wrack her body, before falling into a deep sleep once more. Through the haze of slumber, she sees the concern on Hibiscus's face, and hears a few indistinct words. Hibiscus's face slowly becomes clearer, and she begins to smile. 'Sleep,' she says. 'You protected everyone, just like you always have. Now sleep. You did good.' Amidst the fog of dreams, Fang does as she is told.
