Backstory[]
Gigi reached out to Lana by sending her a letter.
I hope this letter finds you well.
My name is Gigi and I work for a special agency hoping to recruit new talents, We've seen your abilities and I must say, my interests are piqued.
However, there's a catch.
Don't worry, our intentions are pure. It has to do with the agency itself. We hold...many secrets.
Gigi recruited Lana because Lana had piled up a massive amount of medical debt due to an unknown chronic illness that even required chemotherapy. In Lana’s words, “I don’t know for sure. I went through chemotherapy, and one of my photographs shows my journey through it,” she said, referencing the photos pinned on the bulletin board behind her desk at her salon. They paid Lana very well and even offered to cover all her medical debt, so she accepted the offer.
DiarBen specifically designed Lana to be a dedicated worker at the dress to impress salon, but Lana grew tired of this life and managed to escape. DiarBen, feigning innocence, put up fake missing posters, creating the illusion of concern. However, unknown to everyone, DiarBen orchestrated Lana's disappearance and is secretly holding her hostage.
Lana's True Story[]
Her name is Lana, known as the nail lady. She has come here to say she's tired of doing people's nails 24/7 with no reward. As you know upon clicking on the diary and the target list, you would receive realistic long toe nails and fingernails. Many have "speculated" that this hints to her exasperation of doing people's nails; she would prefer to make players "ugly," instead of personally leaving.
"Dear Diary,
I hate it here..
I have been working here for the past 5 years. 24/7. No breaks...and NOBODY respects me or knows my name. They just call me "nail lady," when I am so much more than that. My name is Lana. But NOBODY calls me that. And I hate it here. I am going to run away one day...but nobody will care. They just take me for granted, but they don't know what it's like. I am more than just the nail lady. I am a human. And I am tired of holding in my tears... I will backfire on all the people who take advantage of my free nail services and get my revenge when they don't expect it... I will set fire to this terrible nail studio."

April 20th, 2024 Update[]
On the 4/20/24 update, a new page of Lana's diary was revealed and she expresses the desire for more revenge than before. Alongside her nail station, a white, ripped dress is displayed on a stand; upon clicking on this dress, a message will appear as "????."
In one of her diary entries, her Roblox User ID, "5759585595." When entering this id into a Roblox URL, you'll be taken to Lana's account (LanaDoesNails) Upon closer inspection, her drawer contains a slip of paper that also features her Roblox User ID. If you go to her profile, her description reads:
"Are they listening? Please tell me they aren't. I'm not safe. Sitting on that desk is not the real Lana. I'm the real Lana. HEAR ME? I'M THE REAL LANA. If you'd all just have said "thank you" or even a smile at my direction, none of this would have ever happened. I can't say I feel remorse for what's about to happen. Whoever runs this runway gig is evil. Everyone behind it is evil. I've been taken away from my regular life and forced to labor, inhaling all those terrible fumes and acetones every single day painting these people's nails. And one day, I will get my revenge."
6/24/24 "I still find happiness in the little things in life despite my situation. I have bled, I have cried, and so much more, yet here I am. All the travesties that occurred were stepping stones on the path to success. And one day, I will succeed. I will take over. However, sometimes I wonder if the Patrons and Horizon are right. Maybe I am being manipulated. I have been feeling discontent with how I've been treated, and I'm starting to see his malevolent wings. I may be wrong though.
If you see me playing a random game, I just need a break from all the duties that come with the Awakening Please feel free to join me, however Awakening-related things are held during Questionnaires."
May 17, 2024 Update[]
As of the 5/17/24 update, a new page reveals that a doppelganger has taken over Lana's seat at the salon. She states that Submicy has kidnapped her and is holding her hostage at a closed location.
"Dear Diary,
That isn't me.
They replaced the real me with some...doppelganger. That girl sitting at my new desk is NOT ME. I don't know who that is, [and] I don't want to. But that's not me. I'm Lana, she's not. But she's pretending to be me. MOTOPRINCESS is holding me somewhere so I can't escape. Please help me... I'm so scared and I hope that THING sitting at my salon chair doesn't harm my image.
But I think she's the reason why all these players are going missing."
June 29, 2024 Update[]
for the 6/29/2024, the Lana's diary got a new page.
"Dear Diary.
My Job
I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. The world crumbles around me as my name falls distrusted, Now, I finally feel alone. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job. I love my job."
Lana's Account & Contents[]
Upon inspecting Lana's account, players can discover 5 Favorited games: Forest, Questionnaire, Sanningens Galleri and The Fortress (And DTI)
Forest[]
Screenshot from end of maze
"Forest" is the first game that players can use to explore deeper into Lana's disappearance. Entering into the game begins a pathway towards a bigger sunflower maze, with Lana doppelgangers impacting the way.
Along the path, there are small sentences that reveal parts of, what can be implied to be, Lana's history. In summary, there was a girl that was diagnosed with a terminal illness, leading to the financial decline of her family and friends. Reaching to the end of this path brings players into a portal for the sunflower maze; turning right would reveal a grave with Lana's name engraved into it.
To get through the maze, players will need to follow the paintings and the sunflowers within its path. However, there are more Lana doppelgangers that will interfere with this process; it is advised to hide in bushes along the corners of the maze. After reaching the end, there is a script of code that reads:
| 01011001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01101101 01100001 01111001 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100110 01101001 01101110 01101001 01110011 01101000 01100101 01100100 00100000 01101000 01100101 01110010 00100000 01110100 01110010 01101001 01100001 01101100 01110011 00101100 00100000 01100010 01110101 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100101 01110110 01101001 01101100 00100000 01110011 01110100 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01101100 01110101 01110010 01101011 01110011 00100000 01110100 01101000 01110010 01101111 01110101 01100111 01101000 01101111 01110101 01110100 00101110 00100000 01010100 01101000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01101110 01101111 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 00100000 01100101 01101110 01100100 00101110 00100000 01010100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01110111 01101001 01101100 01101100 00100000 01100010 01100101 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01101111 01110011 00101110 00101110 |

| Translation: "You may have finished her trials, but the evil still lurks throughout. This is not the end. There will be chaos.." |
A few of the words that appear on screen when you join the forest consists of:
- Lana
- Locked
- Find Me
- Doppelganger
- Missing
- Will you ever find me?
- Wrath
- Awakening
- Tragedy
- It's not safe here.
- Innocence
- The hands.
Questionnaire[]
"Questionnaire" is a game where players can interact with Lana and her associates for the sake of discovering more information. This game is only useful if Lana is there. Nonetheless, players are free to explore the area to find gravestones, idle tables, sunflowers, and other details scattered around. You can find many settings when walking out of the map and into the fields of this game, one of these settings being a Playground. On the date of 02/08/24 a group of players reported to the public seeing a body inside the stage when resetting next to it. On this date a group of many players banded together claiming themselves a "cult" lead by the leader Loki with the username "ZephyrJPlayz", their cult described them self as a movement to make those loyal to the saudade but find out the truths of Lana and the others.
The Fortress[]
"The Fortress"
Along with that the Roblox account also has a group named …Saudade, which translates to a feeling of longing or melancholy. In this group as of April 20th, 2024, there were open applications to work with Lana, these questions were on it:
- Are you Affiliated with the Awakening?
- Are you aware of what will happen to you and your affiliates if you betray us?
- Describe why your passion is to be a "nail tech" for us.
- How good are you at hiding generational secrets?
- You serve to "paint nails" and protect Lana. At all costs.
Screenshot of the group bio
As of the 20th of August, 2024, the applications in Lana's group to work with her have closed and the message in the groups bio now reads:
Screenshot of the group bio
"To the Patrons:
Welcome to the birth of an uprising, a new dawn where we stand united against the forces of evil. In Saudade, we forge a path of resilience and strength, sparking a series of events that will reshape our world.
Join our rebellion. Together, we are unstoppable."
In the group, there are also ranks, the most important ones for the wiki's purpose are the coterie and missing section
Each person in these ranks has a bio on their profile that relates to the story and when the most recent update came out she was in a dress with blood on it and at the second round it was he normal fit. |
At one point, Lana’s avatar outfit had an eye patch and in the Saudade group, she posted, “I do not need an eye patch”. In the beginning of May, 2024, she changed her avatar yet again to wearing all black. There is probably some meaning to all these outfit changes but they have not yet been revealed. Currently, the About section of the Lanadoesnails account says the following:
Trust me. I will be back soon, and my reign will never be over. You've just killed one of me.Just kidding I'm really nice
(the part below was in code)
something has taken over my account. spreading their lies. their agenda. someone on their side. i don't know if you still trust me, but if you do, please help me.
Also, on the group shout it once said “I am real”. Lana’s account usually has these kinds of cryptic messages or the Saudade group shouts end up really cryptic.
Lana's last questionnaire consisted of Nelly and Nathan coming onto her questionnaire exposing what she had done to all of the others. This included taking many body parts from members of Saudade... Lana got mad and then sent out a vote it said "Do you trust Lana?". Majority voted no. Then Lana got very mad. This consisted of many anger outbursts from Lana. Lana then threatened to kill both of them, when Nelly and Nathan said something along the lines of "We are going to put an end to this now." Lana said "Try me." (something along the lines of that). Then everything went dark and Lana said "You have only killed one of me.". Then the questionnaire was ended and everyone was kicked out. The last questionnaire.
CHAPTER TWO:[]
After Nelly and Nathan killed Lana, the Questionnaire game had updated, which there is a portal and below the portal is the bodies of the executed people: Sunny, Micheal, Rafael, and also Lana. We later find out that Lana is alive again by the help of a player that goes by the name of Agamemnon, which also has his own group named ...Plague. LanaDoesNails had just recently made a game called The Fortress which is a hallway full of doors, and each of the doors holds a different room full of notes and secrets.
Important Rooms:[]
- The third door to the right
- The second door to the left
- The first door to the right
- The last door to the left
- The second door to the right
2 new doors have been added to The Fortress ( Lana has been experiencing a man in her dreams he said: "how dare you Lana,spread our secrets...though this is not your first misdemeanor" she says she is not scared or afraid of the man in her dreams,she is just curious and tempted. "i don't know what his purpose is" she says "i went through chemotherapy "(Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses powerful chemicals to kill fast-growing cells in your body. Chemotherapy is most often used to treat cancer, since cancer cells grow and multiply much more quickly than most cells in the body. Many different chemotherapy drugs are available.) she also says.
I know the Lana this year isn't her. she is in DANGER and will be killed again...
The Day Lana was replaced as the group shout has said "I'm Real". The day that happened a questionnaire took place. A person took over Lana's account (a person apart of The Awakening) they were saying stuff like she didn't have an Eye patch, The Awakening was not evil. And then something happened. A screen with text appeared saying "Don't believe her please...that's not the real L-" as everyone was kicked out of the questionnaire with the message saying "I am the real Lana."
Sanningens Galleri[]
The Sanningens Galleri or the Truth Galleri is a gallery full of photos of Lana and Agamemnon. The gallery if full of torso mannequins viewing the photos and there are the mannequins circling something. There is another photo of Lana with the monster behind her (most likely kidnapped her) and then replaced her. There is also a photo of lana with no eye. There are also Gallery Rules: Exit the Gallery when the clock stops ticking (we do not know what happens if the clock stopped ticking). And do not go too far into the gallery. Cause if you do there is a jump scare with the skin of the Monster that was behind Lana. And there is a secret farm house (most likely her home) picture.
Badges[]
There is one badge for this game entitled 'Drömde' which is Swedish for 'Dreamed'. This could be about the monster that Lana has been seeing in her dreams (see poster of 'Have you dreamed this man?' seen in The Fortress). Here is the translated and non-translated versions of the badge description.
Non-Translated: Utal skicklighet men med förmåga lyfter du mig ur ledsnaden Ytterst sakta som visste du att det som rycks upp kan tappa något på vägen
Translated (By a Swedish speaker): Countless skill but with ability you lift me out of sadness Very slowly as if you knew that what is snatched up can lose something on the way

Lana's Youtube[]
Lana has a youtube channel (@lanadoesnails) which has been active since 18th April, 2024. It currently has ? videos described below.
Videos[]
Posted April 18th, 2024, This is the first video posted on the lanadoesnails youtube, it shows glitching footage of her nail table and the missing posters behind it (Submiscy and MOTOPRINCESS are confirmed to be dead in the other games but DiarBenOfficial is "seek".) It then switches to the "Symphony of Knocks" badge door in Forest which supposedly leads to the "Cacophany of knocks" badge corridor in The Fortress. Finally, a picture of the man who appears in peoples' dreams appears on screen with the caption:
How dare you Lana Spread our plans As this man appears in people's dreams, it is likely that this video is one of Lana's dreams. Hence the title "awakening".
Published April 19th, 2024 the Description reads: a video from my first dayThis video shows the Dress To Impress map. Lana is being given a tour around "where (she) will be working" by "diarben" (DiarBenOfficial) Diarben is speaking to Lana in red captions but if you turn on the closed caption of the video on youtube Lana is speaking as well. In the background noise of the video we can hear morse code which translates to "BIT THE APPLE" - a reference to the bible story of original sin in which Eve bites the apple of knowledge against God's will. There is also a version of Lana we see a painting of in Sanningens Galleri entitled "Apple" with the description "Once innocent, pure, and serene..." Possibly showing that she pure before she became part of The Awakening. Here is the transcription of the video:
Diarben's writing is in plain italics, Lana's writing is in bold italics.
Hello Lana I told everyone
this is where you will be working what I did is not a sin
there are just three rules they had to know
don't tell them what we did to you
don't tell them our plans and you can punish me all you want
and lastly I will deal with the consequences
don't try to escape
you know why you're doing this I do not care
and you know what will happen if you don't comply you don't scare me.
best regards,
diarben
Posted April 21st, 2024 The Description reads: I receive little to no Emotion from the consumers how I wish I was in their place and yet Because of their Ignorance I can't seem to tell them that they're next I'm sorry I couldn't give Them what they wanted I suppose consequences must be faced, ultimately. This video is essentially Lana standing at her grave, complaining about how unfair it is that, even after she exposed the group's secrets, there is still no justice. She says that her pain is on display yet still nobody cares.
Transcript:
I always wonder why I did it in the first place
my pain is on display and nobody seems to care
I exposed the secrets of that wretched group
and yet I seek no justice
it's unfair
but I understand
Posted April 27, 2024 The Description reads: there's no better feeling in the whole wide world. This video shows snippets from the Questionnaire game. Like in the threerules.mp4 video, there is more text in the captions. The original text is in plain italics and the closed caption text is in bold italics transcribed below:
It is so easy to manipulate sometimes I feel bad for those
people who don't understand people who I've trapped
the full story of terror but it's okay
will they realise they're next? I realise in a world of destruction sacrifice is unfortunately necessary
This could be two sides of Agamemnon. One part of him is a leader and willing to manipulate others but the other part of him feels bad for what he has done, yet still sees it as justified. But that's only a theory.
Posted April 28th, 2024 The Description reads: we'll be back shortly I promise and my true supporters --those who know the truth will stand by me. It has a video of a body laying on the table in the game Questionnaire accompanied by red text along the bottom of the screen which says:
As my body lays on the stage
for everyone to see
and my soul withers away
I just remember it isn't over yet
there is still more of me to come
and I'm sure this time it will be successful
because I've opened the gate.
Posted May 19th, 2024 The Description reads: I believe his words, yet the dream still lingers in my mind.
This video features two figures - most likely Lana and Agamemnon - having a conversation about a man Lana keeps on seeing in her dreams in what appears to be Agamemnon's office from The Fortress game. The conversation is in red captions with two different fonts to represent the two sides of the conversation, transcribed below (Lana's in bold italic and Agamemnon's in capital italics):
Agamemnon, I saw him in my dream again
he said that he was you and he told me his plans
his morals were far from the ones you hold
but I am still scared and shaken up
Agamemnon,
can I trust you?
OF COURSE YOU CAN.
LANA I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING TO HURT YOU
TRUST ME, PLEASE?
okay, I trust you.
Posted June 19th, 2024 The Description reads: AN EXCERPT FROM LANA: Although I know our doings may be cruel, I would have never expected Alatheia to go against us. It's odd -- Nelly deserved this, why would Alatheia ever take her side? Despite everything, I know I'll miss Alatheia. It just gives me more motivation to enact revenge on Nelly.
This video features Agamemnon and Lana talking to Nelly who is locked in a cell. Nelly has betrayed them and is working against them. Just as Agamemnon is about to have the creature kill Nelly, Alatheia saves her and is killed instead. This is the transcript:
(A=Agamemnon, L=Lana, N=Nelly, AA=Alatheia, ?=The Guards)
… --- … (SOS)
A: Hello, Nelly
N: PLEASE LET ME GO? W-WHAT.
N: WHAT IS THAT?
A: The substitute for your execution -- and what we've been building
N: ...please just execute me, I don't want to be fed to that.
A: You chose to run.
(Camera perspective shifts to inside the cell, we can hear deep breathing - most likely the breathing of the creature that Nelly is afraid of.)
N: Please just let me go, I'll do anything.
N: Lana please, Agamemnon is brainwashing you.
N: You can stop this, please Lana...
A: Shut up, Nelly
A: Why are you worried, anyways? It's off right now.
A: If you continue to talk such foolish words, I will activate it.
N:...
A: I forgot the remote, I'll call the guards to go fetch it for me.
L: Nelly, I'm sorry.
N: What? You're sorry? THEN LET ME GO? ARE YOU DUMB
A: Back, and I thought I said not to speak?
N:...
(Camera perspective shifts to outside of the cell, we can see the tall creature standing in the corner.)
N: LET ME OUT YOU FREAKS!
L: It's a bit morbid.
A: The creature? Was it not what you were expecting?
L: It wasn't. I feel like gagging just looking at it.
A: But look at it with honour… it's what we've been building all this time
(Camera shifts to back inside the cell.)
A: Nelly, I hope you aren't terrified. Just be honoured we chose you as the first subject.
A: Your friend, Nathan, wasn't of much use. It only feeds on the alive, it seems.
N: You killed him for nothing then? What in the world?
N: You're a monster.
A: I know.
N: I'll get my revenge
A: Let them in, I need the remote.
A: Nelly is annoying me.
(Two people walk in.)
A: Thank you.
A: Nelly, do you have any last words?
(The camera shifts to back inside the cell, we can now see the creature and Nelly.)
N: You're a terrible person, you'll get what you deserve.
(Somebody enters the cell.)
L: Alatheia?
AA: Nelly, get out! Run! Please don't look back.
N: W-
AA: Shut up and run!
N: Okay okay! And thank y-
(Nelly runs away.)
A: Alatheia, you traitor.
A: Activate the creature. Now.
A: I want this girl dead.
A: NOW!
AA: You're terrible people! And to think I even trusted you.
AA: I've been working with Nelly behind your backs.
AA: And soon all of your plans will fall, and your acts will come to an end.
A: Activate it!
AA: Wait...
(Alatheia turns slowly towards the creature, backing up into a corner off-screen)
A: Guards, get out, NOW!
?: Yes, Agamemnon!
(The two guards leave. We hear the creature approaching, and then we hear cracking and Alatheia screaming.)
L: T cant believe Alatheia would turn on us like that.
L: It hurts to know the Horizon are next.
Posted July 6th, 2024 The Description reads: Clawing mutilating all for a cause.
This video features a black haired figure walking around their house, we are watching them on what appears to be security footage from around the house. Their text is in a different style to the rest of the videos - theirs is black and white compared to the rest of the video where the text is red and black - possibly because they have the "Coterie" . At the end of the video we see The Creation which killed Alatheia in "Fortress Security Footage #1" outside the window. The footage then cuts out and we hear crunching and screaming. We can assume the person in the video is dead. Here's the video transcription:
It's been a while since I left the Coterie
In fact I've forgotten about it
I've cleared my mind of all the bad memories
despite all this, I still feel like I'm being watched
I feel like she's mad that I left.
I'm not sure if she'll ever find me though
I always felt as if she'd try to harm me because of my decision.
I cut contact with all the past Coterie -- I do wish them well
And I moved locations far distant from where she is
I feel like a brand new person
Also, I've been devoting myself to healing for a while.
I realised the true evil of her plans...
sitting through all those meetings...
I realised how the popularity and power had infiltrated her mind
I've completely disconnected myself from what she made me.
But it still feels like
her presence has not detached from me.
(Camera shifts to window and we see the tall creature who killed Alatheia and Nathan outside. The person turns around and sees the creature. The camera footage cuts out and we hear cracking and screaming. The closed caption for the video says: [Footage Censored for Graphic Content]
Posted July 7th, 2024. 5 seconds long. Description reads: I asked him right after his Awakening -- he was still breathing: L: Where do your eyes see now that your sockets are left chasms? Is it a better light? █: It is beautiful. Sacrifice is beautiful. We assume that 'L' means 'Lana'. The description could link to the man that Lana has been dreaming about as they have no eyes. This 'man' is seen on posters in the game The Fortress.
This video features some drawers to the side and 7 posters of people, 5 which say dead and 2 which say seek. There is a figure standing to the side of the posters who we assume is Lana. The posters each have names on them. Some are hard to read, but the ones I could make out say 'riscoops', 'submiscy' and 'callmehhaley'. We assume that all the players on the posters have either been killed by Lana, or Lana is still looking for them.
If you look in the comments of this video, you see a comment by Lana, pinned by Lana, which reads 'you've been documenting me, i find it okay, i find it useful yet you're capturing the lies of me, gaining traction, disrupting my goal'.Fired[]
Lana in a jail cell.
In the August 30th update, Lana disappeared. Her chair had fallen over, and her desk was surrounded with moving boxes. Lana's Salon Was also renamed to "Salon Salon". The shelf in her salon is walk-through and leads to a basement with 2 jail cells, one labeled "Lana #001" and the other labelled "Lana #002". Lana's diary can be found on a drawer on the left side of the room, with the text "Are you hearing me? All the previous journal entries are deceptions. Please trust me. -L" The other page has the number 7198329488: a UserID which leads to the LinaDoesNails account.
Lina's description is "I've always wanted to work for them -- yet she was in my way. When she suddenly disappeared one day, I asked to fill in the gaps she had left behind her... of course, a salon can't function without the owner. I have a feeling everything I've worked for is just temporary."
Lana's Desk In Boxes
The Lana clones around the map have disappeared, with the exception of the one in the beach and the one by the lighthouse.
On September 2nd, Lina was added to the game and replaced Lana as the nail tech.
On September 28th, all traces of Lana have disappeared including the jail cell Lana was in at the secret room. On the walls the original text was not there anymore and there was a new message that said "STAY IN SCHOOL <3". In this room you can finally go into the neon yellow door which in the last update you could not and inside was a blue secret room. This was due to parent complains about the lore being too "scary" for kids.
A few days later Lana's family was leaked on a YouTube video about future updates on callmehaley's channel.
In a future update there will be a quest involving Lana's childhood home.
The developers also referenced to Lina being in the house, saying they were sisters.
