"*Those stupid memories don't bother me anymore.*"
―Lu
**Lu** is one of the seven dreamwalkers of the Keeper and the deuteragonist of *DREAMophrenia*. She first appeared in the episode "Welcome to Dreamland".
She's a powerful dreamwalker with many different abilities. She managed to cross the border between the two worlds at the age of 9, but even for a dreamwalker with 17 years of experience she's a very strong person and managed to master all kinds of abilities, which others had to spend decades to get the same result. Lu was corrupted by the power she possesed, which influenced her character to become more hot-tempered and chaotic. Heloise created Lu based from her dream. They often saw a girl with purple bangs in their dreams, who was smashing everything and decided to make her a character.
She prefers to spend her time alone fighting nightmares and categorically rejects any possibility of working with others. This is especially true of partners, who are weaker than her, which is why the Keeper forced her into cooperation by blackmail, which forced Lu to take Liandra under her wing.
Lu is the exact opposite of Liandra in absolutely everything, which is why conflicts and arguments constantly occur between them. An experienced dreamwalker always tries to tease, scare or even humiliate the young partner and during the combat may even yell at her. Despite the fact that Lu shows all sorts of contempt and disgust for Liandra, as well as the very idea of working as a team, they still nonetheless go together to complete the Keeper's tasks.

Physical Appearance
It's very difficult to call Lu even a little attractive. Due to her flat chest, rough features and strange outfit, she's very often mistaken for a guy and her whole appearance makes her look like a nightmare.

    Lu is skinny, short and angular. Despite her age, she looks to be about 30 years old. Her skin is very pale, and her body and limbs are as thin as sticks. Her short brown hair of a darker tone is chaotically bristling and the bangs are dyed bright purple. She has pupils, that glow with ghostly pink fire, huge bruises under her eyes and triangular shark-like teeth, which in total gives her the appearance of a nightmare. The girl's face is also adorned with a few freckles located on her cheeks and, unlike all other characters, Lu is the only one, whose pupils are not human like, but narrow, like a snake.
Lu's a tomboy. She dons an old khaki military trench coat over a tank top with black stripes, shabby skinny lilac jeans and black leather ankle boots with pink laces. She wears brown fingerless gloves decorated with her logo's and a choker around her neck.
However, her appearance wasn't always like that. Before the corruption, Lu used to be more human-like and less chaotic with slightly different but similar elements. In the course of nine the hair of the girl was much shorter, and she was dressed in a striped T-shirt, lilac shorts and the neck was adorned with a bright purple bandanna. Boots didn't change much. It is also important to mention, that Lu's hair weren't dyed in bright purple color at the age of nine just like in the present, more like the color started showing on her much later, her eyes weren't purple and she no longer wore the bandanna.
The chaotic elements slowly started appearing on her body a little later (Sharpen teeth and narrow pupils) and the girl became more skinnier then before. Lu's hair have grown longer beneath the neck, and she started wearing the trench coat, brown leather fingerless gloves and purple socks with black stripes. Bandanna was also alternated.
In the first episode of the webcomic series, Lu is presented with much shorter hair, less skinny but scarier appearance, longer jeans and different gloves similar to the ones she wears in the present, except the grinning face symbol is still missing, and after the course of two years since the encounter with the dreamlander Melissa she is shown in the third episode with the tips of her bangs dyed in bright purple color.

As Louis De Purple
Louis is a stocky middle-aged man and shares the similar elements of appearance, that is except for the gender and a few minor changes to look more human-like. The hair is tied into a ponytail, secured with a small purple ribbon on the back, leaving some strands around the head to form a messy look. He has purple eyes of a darker tone, less freckles and the chin and chest is covered with some hair.
The man is dressed in a vintage ball gown, which he wears over a grey striped classic shirt, brown pants with a small chain attached and black and purple Balmoral shoes. He also wears a neck tie around his neck of a darker tone, that is tied into a floppy bow and a he covers his face with a mask of a skull from a dinosaur.

Personality
Lu is harmful, rude and unfriendly as possible. She's a loner by nature, so she can't be seen in the Keeper's Lodge so often, and prefers to fight with nightmares, when no one gets under her feet. She constantly grumbles, growls, makes faces, let's go right to left without a single twinge of conscience and has a very characteristic hoarse and unpleasant voice, that resembles a growl. She's straightforward, sarcastic and curses a lot, she even speaks to the Keeper without respect, calling him "old man" or "geezer". Lu looses her temper easily, if anyone doubts her abilities.
Despite the fact, that the girl generally fulfills important tasks "for the greater good", her methods are rude and indifferent to the inhabitants of Dreamland, sometimes even cruel. She can easily save the street from a nightmare, in the process smashing a couple of stores, blowing up someone's cars, causing injuries to passers, and spits on the apologies. For this Lu isn't just disliked in the city, but frankly feared, sometimes considering her much worse than a nightmare. As a sociopathic chaotic, she's gained notoriety throughout the whole Dreamland, getting banned from the Crimson Rock Castle due to her being too much of a troublemaker and much more. But the dreamwalker is not shy about her notoriety, confirming her passion for violating the rules, steal snacks from supermarkets at night, barging into someone's else's property, hurting and scaring the citizens to death. She openly enjoys the role of an antihero, which causes complete perplexity to Liandra, and Mr. R. She loves being the one in control.
Excluding the chaotic interests, Lu really loves horror movies, it helps the dreamwalker relax after a hard day of work. She also listens strong music, likes to doze off while floating high in the night sky above the city, and she can play the bass guitar.
She hates being asked about her past, each time she abruptly and crudely cuts off.

As Louis De Purple
Louis De Purple is a extremely imposing middle-aged man, who loves to make an impression and has a french accent. The guy's roguish and can't be trusted, but he's very gallant and charismatic. He appeared in the tenth episode of Season 1 as Liandra's cavalier, during the infiltration of the Scarlet ball.

Relationships
**Liandra**: Lu hates other dreamwalkers, and Liandra the most, believing that nothing good will ever come out of this girl. Being on the same team, she perceives her as a necessary evil needed to manage the debt, but also finds her incompetence amusing to mock at. She stubbornly calls Liandra a kid, completely ignoring the presence of her partner's name.
**Keeper**: Although she is a little more patient with the Keeper, she doesn't miss the opportunity to note that his surroundings are just pathetic, and speaks to him as she likes, calling him by rude nicknames.
**Mr. R**: Mr. R is the victim of Lu's pranks, whose fear brings her pleasure. Therefore, Lu does not miss the chance to raise his self-esteem at the expense of an easy target, which Mr. R is. However, there is a reason why Lu likes to be in his presence. She often dreams of him even in non-lucid dreams.
**Felicia**: Felicia and Lu used to compete with each other about how much nightmares each of them can take. Seems there's more to their past, but she's trying to avoid the topic. Lu accompanied the dreamwalker on their visit to the Crimson Rock castle once.
**Melissa**: Melissa is one of Lu's past victims. Not much is known about their relationship other than Lu scared the poor girl with her aggressive behavior, when she caught the starving dreamwalker stealing food from the supermarket.
**Mutant rats**: Lu always dreamed of fighting Felicia's mutant rats.
**Shawn**: Not much is known about their relationship.
**Rodolpho Salvatore**: Not much is known about their relationship. During her visit with Fel she caused a lot of trouble at the ball, even yelled at him. The reason for her actions is not clear yet.
**Marie**:Delivering a blow to Lu, the dreamwalker managed to dodge it and took that personally. She charges at the Ice Spirit with her crowbar.

Abilities
Lu has a large supply of energy and knows how to distribute it properly to save some without bringing out all possible power on nightmares. Instead of spending so many kilometers on teleporting and being stranded, she prefers to fly that distance on her own, since levitation for her requires almost no energy.
When it comes to combat, she rarely casts something costly, but powerful, dealing with enemies using her strength and agility, combined with her favorite crowbar. Moreover, she can change her appearance to a different form of any human or creature and the shape of her hands to deadly sharp predator claws with the tips being purple, which she uses rarely in battle, but makes use of them when scaring or threatening people. In the twelfth episode Lu took form of a Velocicaptor when escaping from the castle. The color of Lu's abilities is bright pink, just like her pupils.

Weapon
