==Biography==
===Backstory===
Around an unknown time, Lucinia became one of TAS Corp.'s notable Meta Runners, becoming acquainted with the latters. She became close friends with Belle Fontiere and the two eventually fell in love. She also appeared in one of TAS Corp's commercials. She also taught Belle speed-running tricks while being there for her when Belle was in stress. Additionally, she was Sofia's older sister and that she raised Sofia alone, with Sofia inheriting her sister's penchant for humorous melodrama. One year later, she started to lack attention when she hadn't been getting any press conferences to go when Lucks didn't need her. It has also affected her skills while Belle and Masa became more relevant throughout time. Despite this, Masa reassured her that she was one of the best runners he knew and that she belonged on the team regardless of what other people thought of her.
In any case, Lucinia started exploring the TASCorp science labs in the hopes of discovering something to sharpen her skills, which eventually led her to discover James Sheridan's research project, which was in dire need of a test subject. Lucinia approached Sheridan and offered to be the host for his experimental A out of desperation to get Lucks' attention. I. program, delighting the frantic scientist. She encountered Sheridan's sentient A.I. program called The Turbo Assisted Rapid Intelligence, or simply T,A.R.I., who was uploaded into Lucinia's Meta Runner arm and allowed her to control Lucinia's movements throughout a variety of games, leading to a sharp increase in her skills. Sheridan uploaded a more advanced version of T.A.R.I., because he thought it was time to advance the experiment. Tari was able to communicate with Lucinia's brain directly thanks to the implant she had made into the latter. When Sheridan accidentally pushed the neural uplink too hard, causing the server to collapse despite their immediate chemistry. As a result, Lucinia would either pass away or, at the very least, sustain permanent brain damage. Before putting Lucinia into the TASCorp server, where her mind would be safe, Tari was able to save her, but she later admitted that her hard drive would be destroyed and her memory data would be erased, leaving her with nothing. When Lucinia realized this, she took off her digital arm, which stood in for a portion of her consciousness, and gave it to Tari so the two would stay connected and eventually cross paths again. Lucinia was left behind with burn scars and her consciousness was shattered, leaving her in the ruins of the lab while Sheridan was physically scarred as he fled the scene of the explosion. 
As a result, Masa eventually came to the conclusion that Lucinia had passed away and became even more convinced that Lucks was to blame for what had happened to her. Although he knew what Lucks would do to him if he caught him again, outraged by her "death," Masa decided to take on his former boss by exposing TASCorp. He also decided to enlist Sofia Porter, who missed her sister and also desired justice, as well as Lamar Williams, who later turned into a Meta Runner after joining the two of them to form MD-5. In order to avenge Lucinia's "death," MD-5 would repeatedly attempt to bring down TASCorp over the course of the following year, but each time it would fall victim to Lucks' advanced cybersecurity and significant influence in Silica City.

*She taught Belle everything about her knowledge on speed-running tricks.
*She may have likely lost a few of her memories as a fragment of her consciousness, when she couldn't remember her name until Tari mentioned her name. However, she suddenly remembers the events of the Project Blue lab incident.
