## Personality

Lukara is well intentioned, as the only child of her parents that actually has memories of their marriage, she knows they weren't prefect, but they were happy. But like most children of divorce's, she developed severe anxiety and body issues for example Lukara has developed anorexia and severe self-loathing about her physical appearance. She also suffers from mommy issues; she feels a great deal of resentment and anger at Amatis for abandoning her and her siblings to just be raised by extend family members. That while she is grateful for her aunt and uncle, she is still angry at Amatis and can't help herself insulting and throwing daggers at her due to this.

According to Veda who admittedly has the best relationship with Luka, states "*...she is like the steam she uses or the wings she crafts from her own wings. Instead of becoming like our Summer Mother, she reforged herself into a spear and shield"*.

Like other members of her family, she is very eccentric which she fuels into her music and other arts.

## Abilities and Skills

* **Lilim Physiology** - Luka is a halfblooded witch that falls into the second type. Despite her main affinity for water, she also has a fire secondary affinity that influences the main allowing her to use steam, extremely hot boiling water.
	+ **Accelerated Regeneration** - Like all Lilims, Lukara can heal from minor injuries and wounds with relative ease. For example, while its take's the normal human about several months to heal it only takes a Lilim about a week and a half.
	+ **Wealth of Sin** - Leto states that all Lilims have an ability called "*Wealth of Sin*" which allows one to shape-shift and weaponize their body and is considered an advance form of Blood Magic. In the case of Lukara, she has the ability to turn her arms into five razor-sharp bat wings that can easily demolish stone columns and cut bodies to confetti. Though very durable but are not indestructible.
		- **Liquefaction** - After her limiter has been completely removed, her transformative power increases dramatically. Swirl-like tattoos reach up from her hands, stopping at her shoulders, while the rest of her body becomes a mass of liquid flesh and blood, making her an intangible body mass to which all attacks harmlessly phase through. Also, her now transformed body's unique constitution can become her personal artillery, using and molding pieces of it into makeshift high velocity projectiles she can launch from her body at will.
	+ **Disease Immunity** - Lukara has a higher resistance to disease as she had never had the flu nor is affected by the plague.

	+ **Steam Magic** - Luka can create, shape and manipulate steam, the gaseous phase of water, which is formed when water boils. Technically speaking, in terms of the chemistry and physics, steam is invisible and cannot be seen; however, in common language it is often used to refer to the visible mist of water droplets formed as this water vapor condenses in the presence of (cooler) air. If heated further, it becomes superheated steam.

After removing the second limiter, Lukara's power is noted to increase even more drastically.
