Lufimar Tekaya-Naruma

== About ==
Lufimar Tekaya-Naruma (Lumenite: Love Tekaya-Naruma) is one of the two remaining members of the Lumenite race and of the sole remaining member of the BlossiarGollore family. Born to Vlitiar Tekaya and Saoshi Naruma, she was fostered by the Tekaya & Naruma clans and raised as a princess in Eiszuratti custom. She was born and lives in Eiszura. Often found entertaining guests in the palace or practicing blood magic in the forest, she is above all dedicated to her nation and her immediate family.
Once a empathetic gentle youth, political realities and a abusive relationship with her brother Komura Naruma changed the course of her life. Lufimar holds a duality, being jovially courteous and bubbly towards those around her, the perfect princess. However, she uses said manners to hide her sadistic, vindictive and brutally violent personality. Her grotesque blood magic involving cannibalism, alongside her regal status, led to her epithet; Kainna, The Blood Queen.
== Appearance ==
Lufimar is tall and has light brown skin from being Lumenite-Kaszatti. with the metallic golden eyes of the Lumenites. Her face is dabbled with freckles and soft features. Her thick dark brown hair, stained with streaks of Auburn flows down to her chest. Raised as a princess, her formal wear is elaborate Eiszuratti silk dresses, ordained with various natural patterns and Tekayan Jewlery. Her arms are covered in black tattoos of vines, flowers and trees, the theme of the Tekaya family. Her Casual wear is more rugged in comparison, her short dresses revealing her legs, a large waist belt with various vials of potions, herbs and blood vials dangling. When using magic, her form changes, blood begins lightly seeping from her pores and her smile grows unnaturally large, her teeth seemingly becoming knife sharp and ending in points. 
== Life History ==
=== Childhood ===
Born to Vlitiar Tekaya-Naruma and Saoshi Naruma in 22 VE in Eiszura, she was an unexpected gift. Her mother Vlitiar passed shortly after her birth, after asking her closest friend Quercus Tekaya and her newfound family, the Tekaya clan, to collectively foster her daughter. When asked for the child's name, Vlitiar named her Lufimar, "Love" in her mother's native language. Shortly after her birth and the passing of Vlitiar, Saoshi Naruma disrespected Vlitiar's wishes and took custody of Lufimar. She was raised in the Naruma household, much to the dismay of the Tekayas. Lufimar was granted most of her mother's titles and possessions, being granted a seat on the Queen's Council when she came of age, and her Mother's room in the Tekaya Manor. However HiveBane, her mother's holy Lumenite Sword, was kept from her in her youth, its lethality and power too dangerous for the hands of a youth. 
When Saoshi Naruma departed Eiszura, Lufimar was still a toddler and her custody was a Royal scandal. Quercus pleaded & begged Soko to fight for Lufimar to remain in Eiszura. Tension over custody in the palace saw Saoshi command the Naruma family guard to seize Lufimar. Quercus commanded the Tekaya household guard to resist, leading to a standoff in the Palace. After Soko intervened on Quercus' behalf, Saoshi relented and stormed off. Lufimar's aunt, Queen Soko Naruma took joint custody of her alongside Quercus. 
Her childhood was spent between the Tekaya Manor and the Palace, playing and fraternizing with the staff or with Quercus, her closest father figure. Her intrigue with the custody trauma led to her idolizing Queen Soko Naruma, copying her style of dress in her youth, attempting to garner her aunt/adopted mother's attention. 
Lufimar was a fun loving and curious child, always seeking attention from others or new information and experiences. Hearing stories of Paelliwa from Quercus she would escape into the woods and make mud replicas of the lost city. Intrigued by the Eriszetsu religion, she frequently raided Quercus' library to fixate on the mystics and pray in the shrines. What intrigued her most however was her mother, whom she had known for less than a day. Little information was left behind by her mother, with most of her knowledge on her coming from the other Tekayas. 
As she aged into her teenage years, she became a socialite, hosting social events and balls with members of the other noble families. Her interest in the vague and supernatural only grew as she aged, with her father figure Quercus being the Divine Speaker of the gods. Following the druid roots of the Tekayas, she began to study nature and attempt to form her own spiritual connection with the supernatural, just as Quercus had. In combination with what little of Godionism her mother had wrote about, and her Eriszetsu foundation, Lufimar began to form her own bastard beliefs and spiritualism. It was in her forest mystiques that she began to experiment with magic and supernatural forces. 
=== Early Adulthood ===
When Lufimar became a young adult, she was granted permission to explore the ruined Palace KanijaKaira on LulaMaishi. Finding the ruined palace in total disrepair, partially flooded and overgrown, she found it the perfect project to undertake. If brought into operating order, it would provide a much larger space for festivals and events, whilst also being a secluded place to perform her growing magical explorations and experiments. Beginning work restoring the palace, she attempted to use magic in the effort. Her first attempt ended in disaster, leaving her passed out in a pool of her own depleted blood. Her attempt left a huge gash along the courtyard wall, stone scattered across the ground and scorched. Eventually she resigned on fully repairing the ruin and simply cleaned up the interior, leaving the exterior decay in place. It was in finishing the renovations that she discovered an alternative magic source than her own blood; other's blood. 
Lufimar discovered she could use the blood of other creatures, fish, livestock from the fields. In experimenting she discovered the more intelligent the creature, the more life energy stored within the blood. However, with Eiszura's cultural demonization of blood magic, Lufimar refused to use other Eiszuratti's blood. 
In her off-time of the restoration project, Soko and Quercus began to invite Lufimar to political lessons in the Palace. Lufimar had already been attending the lessons from her father Quercus, where she was taught the Tekaya values. Tekayas dedicating themselves to service to the nation and securing its prosperity was the top priority of the clan. Now attending Royal Naruma lessons, she was also taught that the Narumas were the nation, and that it was her job to safeguard Eiszura as well. This was also the start of the rift between Lufimar and her adoptive brother Komura Naruma, the heir to the throne. Komura would frequently bully & harass her, belittling her mixed ethnicity & lower status below him. 
This was the first time she was exposed to the political anxieties of the Umarunne, the two ruling leaders. This had a profound effect on Lufimar's views towards politics, foreigners and the nation as a whole. The seeds of political duty and anxiety were sewn in Lufimar, and she began to be uneasy and wary of non-allied foreigners. Her unease was exacerbated by the misoginystic cultures outside Eiszura, often talked down or infantilized by foreign diplomats and guests. This caused her to grow a insecurity complex towards foreigners in general, and a paradoxical superiority complex growing at the same time. Slights or rude remarks towards the Princess now became attacks on her person she had to stomp out. At first she used her wit to belittle her new enemies, but soon began to also use her deformed and frightening blood magic form to intimidate those who she perceived to wrong her. 
==== Lufimar's First Victims ====
When renovating her late mother's old homestead, a group of Scaliga tourists encountered Lufimar in the forest on their way to Leiwatu. The Scaligans assumed she was a easy target, and threatened her, attempting to mug her. Shouting sexist insults and tossing her around, Lufimar lashed out and defended herself. Biting down into one of her assailants arms and drinking the blood, she quickly dispatched all of them by brutally tearing their flesh apart with magic. The pure power rush of human life energy overtook her like an addictive high. Her first taste of human flesh left her hooked, taking the bodies back to harvest at KanijaKaira. From this point on, Lufimar almost always had vials of blood hanging from her belt. A new streak of Mania planted its seeds, thus began the rise of the Kainna. 
=== Birth of Kainna ===
When Soko confirmed Komura heir to the throne, the matriarchal society began to spread rumors about Lufimar. Choosing a male heir over a woman must have meant something was seriously wrong with Lufimar to the views of Eiszuratti society. Lufimar's insecurities were further reinforced by this, growing untrustworthy and became intimidating towards her own people. This was when her epithet; Kainna (The Blood Queen) began to be circulated in court. Lufimar began to start flaunting her blood magic status much to the horror of the Eiszuratti, but she was protected from consequences by Soko. The empathetic socialite was no more, as she became overtaken by Kainna. She became sly, manipulative towards everyone at court, even the Tekayas. Feeling powerful over those around her gave forth to a budding sadistic curiosity, her natural gentle face became scarce, as her mangled jagged smile became the main feature.
It was around this time that the redevelopment of KanijaKaira expanded to cover all of the LulaMaishi territory. The neo-Calador renaissance was blooming in the new city of Emirsea on the northern coast. At the same time, the Vaedayan Druid population formerly moved into the forests of the island and settled a new wooded town. The new settling populations quickly began to recognize that their ranks began to be culled in the night, as new cryptids and mythological beings were said to now dwell the forest of LulaMaishi. The reputation of KanijaKaira, as a haunted doomed place, cast's its shadow across the whole island. It wasn't long before Lufimar was recognized as the likely culprit, and the local began referring to the forest as KainnaTeka, The BloodQueen's Forest. No actions could persuade Tszunna Soko to take action on the rumors of monsters on LulaMaishi, and thus the locals took to strict curfews and protections for themselves.
