Full Name: Lucia Marie Newman
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Appearance:
Graceful. That is the first thing that comes to mind when looking at this beauty. She has this certain feline grace, the grace that you can see in dancers, along with the regal sense of bearing that make up her entire being. The many years of ballet have trained her well... unless, of course, you see her off the dance floor. Though she walks with grace, at any particular moment in time, you might spot her falling down a flight of stairs or something. Because, despite the grace, she is actually quite clumsy... to her chagrin.
Lucia is slightly on the short side, and what I mean by “slightly” is that she is often asked if she is twelve or something. She's just barely over five feet tall, and actually very happy about that. Because she was afraid of being four feet forever. She seems to have that neat perfection you sometimes see in small people, with a slightly pointed cat-like face, and she almost looks delicate. Though one would be amiss to call her delicate – just because she's little doesn't mean that she can't pack a punch. Because she can, and has.
Lucia will tell anyone that she is a living, breathing cliché. It irritates her all the time, but there isn't much she can do about the way she looks, since she absolutely detests those magical products. Lucia has, to put it in a totally cliché way: “long, golden hair like a sun's ray and eyes the colour of the summer sky”. Ugh. Shudder. But it's true – her long wavy hair is too red-blonde to be called gold, though some shades of flaxen can be seen it. Her large eyes are a brilliant emerald colour with gold and green flecks. She sometimes wears glasses... when she remembers...
Background:
Amanda Kalin came from money, and her life was pretty much planned out for her. Amanda was a seemingly frail young woman, and she was always watching the world from the outside. It’s no surprise that she fell in love with the dashing Keita Newman. Keita was a breeder who, frankly, had no money. Her parents were furious when Amanda decided to marry Keita. The fight was horrific, and she ended up being disowned. Amanda took what she had and left with Keita. For the longest time they wandered around before finally settling down. Keita gave Amanda her first Pokémon, the best present he could ever give her.
It was no wonder that Lucia grew up loving Pokémon, with both her parents being Pokémon trainers. Neither Amanda nor Keita were really great – pretty average, actually – but both of them loved Pokémon dearly, and they passed this on to their children. Lucia was the fourth child of the couple, having three older brothers, and the doted on baby sister. Lucia was always following her brothers around, watching them as they came home with their Pokémon and leave again. Lucia was the one to stay home and help her parents, always around the creatures that lived in this land. Her father was proud of her, and taught her everything he knew about Pokemon.
Nothing really terrible happened during her life except when she was eleven. Her mother contracted a wasting illness and died, leaving her family with a hole. Her father was devastated, but Lucia did her best to make him feel better. It was because of this that she stayed home and didn’t go on a Pokémon adventure. It was her oldest brother who finally told her that sticking around was just going to ruin her own life if she lived for others. He pretty much kicked her out of the house and ordered her to get her own Pokémon. So that’s her story.
Personality:
Lucia is genuinely a gentle person. Unless you anger her – which is nearly impossible to do – you'll rarely see her dark side. Lucia is very laid-back and calm, and has this serene air about her. She's not known to raise her voice unless in battle, and rarely ever gets excited about small stuff. Whether it's just plain laziness or just the innate calmness, no one knows. But it works. She's very down-to-earth and honest, almost brutally honest. But she never means to hurt anyone – actually, she hates hurting others.
Unfailingly polite to everyone, even enemies, Lucia is a very respectful sort of girl. Oh, she might be tart and sarcastic (she has quite the tongue on her), but she manages to do it in a way that's almost respectful. Also, she knows when to speak up and when to hold her tongue. She was raised with the whole “speak when spoken to era” sort of feel and though opinionated, she tends to keep her opinions to herself. Lucia has especially perfected the “hide in plain sight” mentality. Though a chatterbox, Lucia knows when to keep her mouth shut – after all, you get a lot more information when you're quiet than when you're making yourself the centre of attention.
Lucia is almost obnoxiously friendly and cheerful to just about everyone. She's the type that greets everyone with a smile, even those she really doesn't like. She has an almost annoyingly optimistic outlook on life, greeting everything head-on. That's where her stubbornness comes in. Lucia has a stubborn streak a mile wide. Even if she is proven wrong, she will not change her path. She has been known as “mule-headed”, and once she has decided to do something, the Gods help everyone, because she WILL do it. Even if it means running people over to do so. She has a sense of justice that no one but her really knows, and she will stick to that like glue. She doesn't disobey orders exactly, but if she thinks there is something wrong with the way her teachers are going about something, you bet your bottom that she is going to do it HER way.
But things aren't always rainbows and sunshine with this girl, and she does have a darker side. It is nearly impossible for her to hate anyone, or to get angry, really, but once you do, woe on you. Slow to anger and slow to forgive, Lucia has been known to hold grudges. Her temper, when aroused, is fierce and can be quiet violent, a change from her normal calm and gentle personality. She has been known to lash out physically, even though she hates hurting others. She has tried to control her temper, but will be the first one to admit that she doesn't have the best control over it. It's just wise not to anger her.
There is also the little matter of her arrogance. While she really doesn't have that big of an ego, there certainly is one. What she knows, she knows. She doesn't see it really as having an ego, just knowing stuff. And Lucia assumes that everyone wants to know everything... which, believe me, can get really annoying. But she honestly doesn't understand that...
