…The Me You See…

Skin: Pale
Height: 5'4
Weight: 118
Appearance: Lucia is, to say the least, somewhat mysterious-looking. She has violet hair that is usually tied into a pair of braids, and blue eyes that the almost seem to glow. She has a fairly petite frame, and she hasn't developed much physically. Her chest is almost flat, and her body is slendy, with few curves. Of course, no one would be able to tell. She is constantly seen wearing a large, tattered cloak, which covers most of her body, and has a hood that she may or may not wear, depending on her mood. Random bandages are wrapped loosely around her legs, though they serve no apparent purpose. Underneath the robe, she wears scraps of torn-up cloth that barely qualify as clothing, as they are all she has to wear. They're only just barely able to cover her breasts and crotch, thus leaving very little to the imagination. Thus the cloak. She always has a expressionless look on her face. She doesn't smile very often, but when she does, it tends to be surprisingly heartwarming. She is, however, easily flustered, often blushing quite a bit when someone says or does something that embarrasses her. Nine times out of ten, this will usually be when she's around someone she has a crush on.

…The Me You Want To Know…

Personality: Despite her somewhat ominous appearance, Lucia is actually very friendly. She, is, however, a bit socially awkward. It doesn't take much to befriend her, but anyone who tries to get her to open up has their work cut out for them. While she does like being with other people, she doesn't feel comfortable speaking about herself, especially when it comes to her past. She generally prefers to avoid using her magic unless she has to, such as when she must defend herself. And even then, she hesitates to use to the Dark half of it, in fear that anyone who sees them may turn against her like everyone from her village did. She personally believes that not all light is good, and that not all darkness is bad, being a living example of the latter. She judges others by their deeds, rather than who/what they are, and firmly believes that nothing or no one is inherently good or evil. And to those she does manage to befriend, she will be unendingly loyal, sometimes even reaching the point of becoming dependent. More than anything, she hates being alone. Over the years, she has steadily found herself to be increasingly attracted to the same sex. She is, in fact, a lesbian, and it's never been something that she seriously thought about. She will, however, be extremely reluctant to admit any feelings she might have for someone, partly due to simple embarrassment, and partly due to fear of potentially losing that friend should they find out. As such, her aforementioned co-dependence tends to apply doubly for female friends, more so if she happens to have feelings for that particular friend. At the same time, however, her low self-esteem can make it hard for her to make friends. Also, she is illiterate, never having had a chance to gain even a basic education. This is something she is ashamed of and tries to hide, though, at times, it can be painfully obvious.

History: Lucia was born outside of the Kaharni Kingdom, in a small farming village that doesn't even show up on the map. Her mother, Rena, was loved by the villagers, young and old, but was, by the time Lucia was born, suffering from an incurable illness that left her bedridden. Her father, unable to face the thought of raising a child and taking care of a bedridden wife, left the moment he found out she was pregnant and was never seen or heard from again. When Lucia was 7, she discovered that she was naturally gifted with magic. However, upon eagerly demonstrating it to the other villagers, she unintentionally caused a panic, due to the fact that the magic was Dark. The villagers held a strong believe that all Light is good and that all Darkness is evil, thus, she was immediately labeled as a "monster" or "demon-child." She was all-but-banished from the village, and it was only out of respect for Rena that they tolerated her. Naturally, however, they all went out of their way to make the girl miserable, not once thinking it odd that the "demon" never retaliated. She had gone through everything from verbal berating to bullying, never fully understanding why until her mother finally explained it to her. Even when the other half of her magic, which was Light, awakened within her, they did not let up, believing it to be a deception. And finally, six years later, her mother eventually gave in to her illness and died, and all bets were off. With the only person to treat her with even a shred of humanity gone, she was quickly faced with a choice. Die or leave the village forever. She chose the latter, spending the next several years wandering aimlessly, from town to town in search of a place to call home. And now, her travels have led her to the Kaharini Kingdom...

Magic: Light and Dark; more specifically, she controls light and darkness in one hand each. With her left hand, she can heal wounds and unleash blasts of light energy, and with her right hand, she can weaken someone by touching them (however, she must make skin-contact, and the effect only lasts for a moment) and launch a blast dark energy. By clasping her hands together, she is able to mix light and dark into a devastatingly powerful attack, though doing so drains her of her energy, thus she usually saves it for a last resort/trump card.

Other Facts: none worth noting
