Lana (Lah - na) is the pairing of Hershel Layton and Nina (La/yton, Ni/na). This is a pairing from the prequel triology, and is un-canon. Another name for them is Ninton. Lana is not very popular, and hardly ever get any mentions in fanart/fanfiction. Their real-life pairings are Yomire and Clistopher. Their genderbend pairing is Harick.

Relationship Dynamic
Layton met Nina when he and the others were lifting down the life boats. Nina didn't want to approach Layton, and acted shy. This occured again as the groups evacuated to the boats. Everytime Layton looked upon Nina, she hid behind Oswald Whistler.

Later on in the film, Layton seperated from the others to go see Nina and to confirm his suspicions of her being Melina. Nina got frustrated, and tried to evacuate Layton's presence. However, like Luke, Layton knew how to calm Nina down; by playing the Song of the Sea. He then got her to explain herself.

The two finally set off and found the rest of the contestents. They then confronted Oswald and Descole. Showing to everyone she'd gained Layton's trust, Nina told the others she'd talked to Melina.
