===War===
Lucia debuted in "Too Close to the Sun" in the year 717. As the second child of Macaw Arini, she was second-in-line to the throne after her brother Croix Psint-Annenburg-Volta. She resented Croix for his position and craved his duty as Pserex and eventual Macaw. She frequently petitioned her father to strip Croix of his title and install Lucia in his place. However, the Macaw categorically refused. Lucia learned from Croix's wife, Ruba Curacaire, that the two were not having sexual relations. Lucia investigated the matter and secretly discovered Croix having sex with a chicken servant. Disgusted by the interspecies relationship, Lucia blackmailed Croix to leave Mount Altum to allow her to take his place as Pserex. Croix succumbed to the pressure and fled the capital, joining a silent monastic order. Lucia was subsequently elevated to Pserex presumptive, and began to train under the Macaw for a life on the throne. 
Lucia's scheming paid off in "Never Trust a Fox" when her father, Macaw Arini, was slain by Archibald I in 723 and Lucia was elevated to Macaw. She was immediately informed by her treasurer that Psittancyna was bankrupt but Lucia ignored her and continued digging the nation into debt through the war effort. 
In 725, Lucia was furious at an Edict released by Vixen VII proclaiming the foxes as the superior species on the continent. She felt as if the war was a ruse initiated by the Vixen Queen to conquer everything, and that she bought into it just like her father. She was visited at the Canopy by her brother, Croix Psint-Annenburg-Volta, who had fled to a silent order at the Macaw Delta after she blackmailed him. He had become an ascetic, but noticeably content with life and at peace. She envied his new life, but knew she could not attain it for herself as she had a duty to the Psittacorum. During their encounter, the first time either had seen one another in years, Croix was permitted to speak as a special event. Realizing what he had and she did not while he was penniless and she was Macaw, Lucia came to the conclusion that she had in fact flown too close to the sun. 
Lucia retained control of her territory and wartime acquisitions after the War ended in 726. She never married, and continued to visit her brother several time a year ("Epilogue").

===Namesake===
Lucia's name comes from St. Lucia, an island nation in the Caribbean.
The surname of the Psittancynesian Royal Family, Psint-Annenburg-Volta, is inspired by the long names of German royal families, such as the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha which would rule the United Kingdom from 1901-present.
