PERSONALITY
Luce is stubborn, secretive, and coy. She's a card really, one that loves life and feeling good, and yet knows all the bad sides of the story as well. What's more, she does not just know and expect them, but she accepts them and even participates. She is by no means entirely virtuous, though many have said before that she has a good heart, or at least tries to do right. The young woman has a way about her that is full of mystery and playful intrigue, generally sprinkled over her “performances” and made as quick get-aways when a risk becomes too much to handle. So many times has she fallen back on half-truths and full out lies that they come easily to her lips and mind; and standing up for herself is something she will do readily. After all, if she does not, then she may as well lie down and wait for her life to end. You do not grow up on the streets without it effecting who you are, what you believe in and how you conduct yourself.

The young woman is friendly though, even for one who has been hurt and jaded as she has been. Luce loves meeting new people, hearing their tales and understanding their perspectives. One way of seeing the world is not enough for her. She wants to hear it all, and she wants to have been there through the words that the storytellers speak. In addition to this general love of meeting people, she also is not afraid to get close to someone physically, or to talk to them. Talking comes naturally, as it should for someone who is used to working as a performer and con-artist to get by. Her words are as dangerous as any dagger can be, and she tries to gain, if not trust, at least some sort of ease from a person as soon as possible. There are always those who never let their guard down or who are rubbed the wrong way, but Luce is also incredibly perceptive from her time having to quickly assess situations and people, and she knows when to back off from a deal gone wrong. She’s not always right either, but she’s seen enough to read between the lines and trust her gut when it says to run away or stay put.

The other thing that Luce is quick to show is a feisty nature that is nothing less than an absolute spitfire. She's not just coy and friendly, she has an attitude, and if you don't like it then you can keep on walking. She's not so blunt as to be mean normally, though as will be discussed later she can definitely do so, but she does have a sass that is all her own. It's like a cook's seasoning; sprinkled here and there in no matter what she is doing in order to convey her emotions. It honestly goes hand in hand with her stubbornness as well, digging in her heels when she has an opinion, and explaining and defending her side with a saucy tone and narrowed eyes.

Another common trait to be seen in Luce is her flirtatious side. She loves life and happiness and freedom, and she loves love. That's not to say the girl has too terribly much of experience with various people, but she finds love in other ways than just the physical. She shows adoration and perception and a genuine care as well, though as with much else known of her personality, it is never clear if it is how she truly feels. 

When Luce sees others in hard times, she can't help but to try and aid them. She loves children and pokemon especially, and despite acting like she has a tough heart and soul to handle hardships, she can easily get overwhelmed and afterwards it is not uncommon for her to internalize all that she has kept within herself. There have been times growing up with others on the streets that she has tried to aid so many that she stretches herself too thin, and instead of worrying about herself she ends up getting sick and wasting away over worrying about everyone else. In more recent years she has learned to combat that and keep her feelings a bit more hidden, but there are times that something strikes a chord so true that she can't help but worry herself sick with wanting to care for them and help.

Part of it is that she listens and observes the people and events going on around her. Luce isn't just someone who watches and then forgets though. She takes what she sees over what she hears, empathizes with those that she watches, and is fair and gentle-hearted over all. The young woman feels much, as would be expected by someone who is a self-proclaimed artist at heart. Everything that others tell her in their stories, everything that she witnesses first hand, all that is internalized is not just mulled over so that it makes her feel something, but from the moment it connects, it makes a bond to her emotions so strong that she feels like she completely understands, even though this may not be entirely true for both parties. She's not overly special, and she's nothing like a supernaturally gifted human. She just is incredibly perceptive and empathetic toward others and herself and to an extent wears her heart on her sleeve so that she’s open to whatever someone happens to throw her way.

Going against the good side of Luce though, there is something that everyone should understand. Luce may have many good traits, and she may try to be a good person at times. That does not make her good though. She is a mischievous little troublemaker, often stealing and conning and putting her nose where it doesn't belong. She likes to mess with people's lives as much as she fixes them, though never to the extent where someone actually gets hurt. She enjoys setting things into motion and feeling a part of everything around her. She sees nothing wrong in breaking laws in order to fend for yourself, and laws in general are something that do not make sense to her. Growing up in a place where the only law was of survival, it makes sense.

She has a subtle, but ever present, confidence in herself. Luce is not a young girl who's constantly worrying about how she looks or acts. She knows that she is who she is, and she is perfectly okay with that. She knows, and this is a personal reflection to depict her confidence in herself and not a set-in-stone view of another person, that every time she performs, she can captivate people through her movements just as much as the swishing fabrics or her body. She knows that she can gain attention and command it if she so chose and put effort to it, that someone (even if it’s only one person) in the crowd would hear her and understand. She knows many things, and she knows how to do it just like most young adult and adults know. That doesn't mean she always chooses to acknowledge those abilities, or that she acts grown up enough to swallow her pride and do what must be done in her life, but nevertheless, she knows that they are there and that at any time, she could choose to step forward and take center stage just as easily as she can become part of a group.

Her entire plan of action though, especially in terms of conflict, is one of a laid-back and passive aggressive individual. Luce is not one for straightforward conflict, and confrontation is something she would rather run away from. She hates it, and she's honestly frightened of it. Luce has a fear of being yelled at, she has since she was a young girl, so many times she will become conniving and think around and talk around the bush in order to get her points across. That is when she even attempts to get her points across though, because most of the time she just lays back and forgets about even trying.

The one thing that everyone should know about Luce is that regardless of who you are, if you mess with her "family" and friends, you are as good as dead to her. She will do anything to protect those she loves, and she is loyal only to her "family". They have her entirely, heart and body and soul. She has been, and is still, willing to do whatever it takes to help her and them get by. She has stolen, cheated, worked, and many other things in order to get food on the table and a somewhat safe place to sleep. It never has bothered her though; she never has blinked an eyelash at it.

What she has become though, is somewhat jaded. She knows the world is not a good and sunshine-y place. She knows much of it is chaotic, and dark, and downright evil. She accepts that though, and she does not try to change it. Instead she aims to find a way to coexist with that part of humanity, finding it in herself to find a middle ground between the two of good and evil. Everything comes in shades of grey when it comes to Luce...more than that though, it's not just black and white or grey...

It’s all in color as well, and to her, both sides are equally beautiful.

HISTORY
IMPORTANT EVENTS
+ Grew up with an older brother. Father left early on in their family, mother never payed them much attention. Ran away with her older brother when they were 10 and 14.

+ When she was 14 and her brother was 18 he joined the Rangers. He left his first pokemon a Mightyena named Dark with his younger sister. Luce remained on the streets and started jumping more from home to home that they had made.

+ Caught Lady as a Misdrevious at age 16. She started to work as a coordinator after realizing she liked performing more than straight on battling.

+ Obtained Blade as a Snivy when she was 18. At this time she learned that her brother had passed. He had been sent on a mission to help after an Earthquake. She blamed the Rangers though that he had joined instead of the Knights. Seeking to avenge her brother's death she joined the Knights.

+ Snivy and Misdrevious evolve around this time as well. Little by little she rises through the coordinator ranks gaining success and notice. She begins to use the influence she is starting to get to show a "good" public image on anything people begin to suspect the Knights of doing.

+ Starts training a friend's Dratini to do contests with his permission. It eventually evolves into Dragonair and she is gifted the pokemon and renames her Rain. By this time she's 19 almost 20. She also obtains a Fletchinder as a "volunteered" pokemon that someone gives her to help with the efforts of restoring the towns after the tragedies.

+ Most recently she steels an egg from a breeder she had been supposed to manipulate over to their side. She failed, but in a fit of rage stole one of the newly laid eggs and then ran away. It hatches not much later into an Eevee she names Anna.

+ By this time she has gained ranks through the Knights to be one of their Troop Coordinators. She has not publicaly ousted herself though, preferring to use her "neutrality" and success as a coordinator to gain the favor of the people.
