Luluco

**Luluco Hatomaki**  (ルル子 *Ruruko*, 鳩巻 *Hatamaki*) is the main protagonist of Space Patrol Luluco. She is a 13-year old middle school student who lives in Ogikubo, together with her father and fellow Space Patrol officer, Keiji.

Her strongest desire is to live the average life of a normal schoolgirl, but this is jeopardized when her father accidentally freezes himself while eating breakfast and she is forced into his position at the Space Patrol against her will.

## Appearance

Luluco is a young girl with cyan eyes and short reddish brown hair. She is easily identifiable by the star-shape hairpin that rests in her hair, with a side ponytail near it making it resemble a shooting star. She wears a school uniform consisting of a white polo shirt with a tan vest, a pink bow with white stripes on her chest, a short dark blue and purple plaid skirt, dark purple socks, and brown dress shoes.

When on duty, she wears a uniform consisting of a blue bodysuit with white stripes, a red helmet, and a belt with a holster. Sometimes, a red siren will pop out of her head when she's wearing her helmet.

## Personality

Luluco shows herself to be an innocent, wistful, and nervous sort of person. She is naive to a fault, as she has a hard time discerning humans from aliens and believed Midori when she said she wasn't involved with the illegal black hole app. She sees Midori as a potential rival for Nova's affection and easily gets jealous, as shown when Midori taunts her by saying she'll get to spend more time with Nova if Luluco doesn't join them on the mission in Episode 04.

She has a fixation on being "normal" and doesn't like the strange world she lives in, deeming it "not normal" and wishing to live a life free of any oddities. At the end of the series, she accepts herself for who she is and takes pride in her weird life.

## Powers and abilities

* **Judgement Gun Morphing** - By donning the Space Patrol suit, Luluco has the ability to transform into a gun and shoot blasts powerful enough to destroy meteors. She's also able to utilize this to launch herself great distances, as demonstrated when she shoots herself up to the top of Luna Nova's spiral tower.

* **Deep Love Gun Morphing** - Formed by the Flutter Jewel, a heart-shaped diamond created from her feelings for Nova, this handheld gun allows Luluco to fire shots powerful enough to seal the Blackholeian's black holes.

* **Trigger-chan Transformation** - Luluco has the ability to patrol alternate dimensions, and by doing so she is able to transform into Trigger-chan, her older alter-ego. In this form, she has the ability to fly via a bike that can transport her to her destination.

## Trivia

* Early in development, it was proposed that her surname be Hatomaki 鳩 *hato* (dove) and 巻 *maki* (roll). As this isn't mentioned in the series, it is unknown if this is considered canon or not.
* Her alter-ego is Trigger-chan, named after the animation studio Trigger.
	+ This alter-ego also serves as Trigger's mascot, where alongside fellow mascots Muzzle and Spring form the Trigger Girls.
* Luluco bears a slight resemblance to Hoshitsuki Miki from *Battle Girl High School*. It is unknown if this was intentional or not.
