Lucia

**Lucia** is one of the two choices for the protagonist of Tales of the Lumminai. She is a young woman who makes a Pact with the Grand Lumminai Laguis and has a mysterious ability to communicate with animals.

## **History**

Lucia was born in Straya to a captain of the Royal Guard of Lord Shesomo. Early in life, Lucia discovered her ability to speak to animals, but when she attempted to tell other children of the conversations she had, she was teased for being "weird," an experience that caused her to retreat from her peers and hide her abilities from everyone she knew. This led to Lucia withdrawing from her friends in Straya as a whole, and for several years she was a rather lonely and repressed child.

When her father was transferred from Straya to the town of Yurai to assist the Herald Lumi, Lucia moved to Yurai with him and first encountered Lumi in the middle of the night as she and her father approached the town. Lumi spoke to Lucia and soothed the uncertain girl with cheery banter, giving Lucia hope that she would be able to be herself in Yurai.

For two peaceful years, Lucia lived in Yurai, slowly growing out of her earlier reclusive habits. However, when the Dakrumi marched on Yurai, demanding Lumi, Lucia's father gave her the Lumminai Crystal of the Grand Hydras Lumminai, Laguis, and commanded her to flee with Lumi, whose own Grand Lumminai - Whilabeast - could not be allowed to fall into Dakrumi hands. Lucia followed her father's instructions, and he died valiantly securing their escape.

Lumi took Lucia to the city of Weshrain, where she began training Lucia at once to be capable of defeating and forming a Pact with Laguis. Grieving the death of her father, Lucia threw herself into Lumi's training, intent on foiling the Dakrumi's desire for Grand Lumminai no matter what.

## **Personality**

To those who don’t know her, Lucia often comes off as soft, sweet, and gullible; those who have been around her, however, begin to see the way she uses her kindness as a weapon to convince, convert, and coerce others to her vision of a world without war.

Lucia is prone to eavesdropping on others, a bad habit she cannot seem to shake.

## **Powers**

From birth, Lucia has had an unnatural ability to understand the language of animals. Though she was at first only able to understand small animals, such as mice and squirrels, her ability has broadened as she has grown, and she can now speak to larger animals such as sheep and horses (though not pigs, which Lucia maintains are "odd"). On more than one occasion, this ability gives Lucia access to information no other person would be able to know, such as when she finds Esra's lost dog.

Under Lumi's guidance, Lucia has learned the basics of swordfighting and is no slouch with a blade, but she is more adept at first aid than fighting, a skill that translates into using Laguis' powers of healing with great skill.

## **Gameplay**

Characters unique to Lucia's story path are Catherine and Esra.

Characters Lucia does not recruit are Maxim and Eleika.

## **Relationships**

Though very fond of Lumi, she can’t help but feel that Lumi is responsible for her father’s death, a thought that haunts the both of them.

Though Laguis is often abrasive to her, Lucia regards Laguis as a valuable ally for the good she is capable of doing and strives to be a Charmer who can do as much good as her Lumminai. Over time, however, Laguis' selfishness begins to incite Lucia's ire, and the two begin to fight. When Laguis suffers a well-deserved reality check after a brush with a Dakrumi laboratory, however, the two begin to work together and achieve a well-deserved equal partnership.

## **Romance**

Lucia is capable of romancing Lumi, Odeweld, Gunther, Fardin, Gaelin, Draeteil, Teristan, or Dargus.

## **In Battle**

**Character Performance:** Lucia can fight respectably if equipped with a sword or a bow, but her real talents lie in magic. As a general rule, Lucia will have the strongest healing spells of any comparably leveled party member, and if equipped with a staff or a book, she will also have access to a great deal of Hydras magik. Lucia will not deal the most damage in the team with her offensive spells, but she will have strong AOE capabilities and can cause multiple debuffs that greatly increase the team's overall damage, even if her natural DPS is not so high.

**Hydras Pulse:** Recovers 6% + 50 HP to one ally with Laguis' healing waters.

**The Lunmarii Light:** Grants a defensive buff to all party members while weakening one Darkrai enemy. May cause damage to Darkrai element enemies and allies.
