**Lua Tien Ngo (**吳 縷仙, *Ngô Tiên Lụa***)** is the only daughter and child between Dang Bao Ngo and his wife Man Be. She lives with her parents and her grandmother Dieu Hang.

## Abilities and Skills

* **Ho Ly Tinh Physiology** - Lua is a Ho Ly Tinh more commonly known as a Fox Demon, meaning Lua will have an extended lifespan and can summon and manipulate foxfire and later electricity. Lua can also shapeshift, use clairvoyance, and possess individuals.
	+ **Decelerated Aging** - Lua possesses a lifespan that is many times that of a normal human and will retain her youth for most of her extended life.
		- **Accelerated Healing** - As a Fox Demon, Lua is immune to all human illnesses and conditions, and has only been sick once in her life. Lua can also heal minor injuries like cuts and broken bones in moments, though more severe wounds such as stab wounds to vital areas can take up to several hours.
	+ **Shapeshifting** - Lua can change eye and hair color at will; and can also pop her fox ears and tail in and out but only when she is surprised or under a large amount of stress. When she gets to the age her grandmother is she will be able to take the form of another person.
		- **Tail Manifestation** - When using her magic, Lua's two tails pop out which are described as cute and fluffy.
	+ **Clairvoyance** - Lua possesses the ability to read the minds of others and project her thoughts into them.
	+ **Foxfire Production/Electrokinesis** - As a Thunder Fox Demon, Lua can create, absorb, control, and manipulate electricity, lightning, and foxfire, which she can use for a wide variety of effects. Foxfire is typically a special kind of fire or lightning created by all Foz Demons by rubbing their tails together; since Lua is a Thunder Kitsune, her foxfire takes the form of lightning or electricity, and she could produce it even before she had tails to rub together.
		- **Electricity Immunity** - Because of Lua's electrokinesis and foxfire production, she is immune to the effects of all forms of electricity. If exposed to live electricity or lightning, it will be harmlessly absorbed into her body, which she can then use to boost her already formidable electrokinetic abilities. It has even been implied in the series that lightning and electricity can make her stronger, although this also causes the fox spirit inside of her to gain more control over her human identity
	+ **Possession** - Lua is still too young to learn and use this ability wisely; her parents just learned it and are still having trouble using it whereas her grandmother is a Master of It.
* **Familiar Contracts** - Lua has two Myobu's named Shiroan and Anko
