## Appearance

Lumia has the appearance of a young girl in her early teens with blonde hair and red eyes who typically wears a black vest and skirt, white blouse, and a red ribbon in her hair.

## Personality

Lumia is generally reserved, quiet, and prefers to avoid being the focus of attention in most circumstances, only really putting herself out there through force or when absolutely necessary. Despite this, she prefers being among friends, finding her periods of solitude to be dreadful after some time. Depending on the situation, for better or worse, her inner emotions can and will burst out, her darkness-related abilities typically accompanying negative outbursts. When she's not doing anything, odds are she's occupied with her own thoughts, largely due to a process of further establishing her own sense of self. While she does deeply care for her friends, more often than not she usually stays out of trouble's way due to her rough history of her actions snowballing into especially bad outcomes and wanting to avoid enduring even more hardships, though she does make exceptions. These exceptions often reveal a side of unexpected bravery, determination, and occasionally leadership. Lumia rarely harbors any genuine, lasting hatred towards anyone, but when she does, it opens her up to incredible aggression and a slight hint of cruelty, in line with what she sees as "fitting" for that person.

## Background

A Youkai that's been around since practically the dawn of man, embodying their primal fear of the dark and the unknown. Like just about any Youkai, she spent her days terrorizing and hunting humans to sustain herself, proving to be especially effective at this given her nature.

Soon enough, during a fight with a Youkai Exterminator, she ended up having her power sealed in the form of a ribbon-like charm stuck to her hair, one that could not be removed by herself or most forces. This led to a period of demotivated laziness, no longer the powerful Youkai she once was, and one that eventually molded a carefree, fairly childish attitude, particularly due to the fact her origins still allowed her to garner sustenance aplenty.

Her life largely remained the same, her only real notable achievement being the first Youkai in an incident to utilize the Spell Card System, though that didn't really get her much recognition.

It wasn't until sometime in February 2019 that she was spontaneously relocated to Starcrossing while sleeping.

## Abilities and Gear

Being a Youkai, Lumia has great physical durability despite her appearance, being able to tolerate and push through some rough physical attacks. She's capable of flight and magic projectiles galore known as danmaku, as with most from Gensokyo.

Her primary ability is manipulating darkness, allowing her to create shapes of darkness that no normal light can shine through, which also serves as a basis for shadowspawn, constructs of darkness that can be given tangible and malleable form. Said shadowspawn can also mimic the properties of basic solid and liquid materials.

She can also open portals to and from her own pocket dimension, the Void, allowing her to quickly travel to places she's already been, even across dimensions, have a convenient means of safely storing things, as well as being able to creatively utilize void portals as offensive or defensive tools.

She also holds a specialized magic tome carrying countless spells, most of which highly practical for many situations, such as "Greatest Heal" which, at the cost of an extreme amount of magic, is capable of performing miraculous feats of recovery. However, she has grown immensely aversive towards using it due to its ties to Grima.

She has a Stand she involuntarily received, although its capabilities have drastically lowered to virtually worthless levels due to many negative factors in her life since acquiring it, and as such, she never sees reason to call it out unless it's for seeing and communicating with spirits.
