Character: Lucia
Fandom: Devil May Cry
Character Notes:
History:
An demon/human hybrid created in an experiment by a sorcerer named Arius, she was originally named 'Chi.' However, he discarded her after discovering she was a defect. A kind human woman named Matier saved her from death, however, and she was raised by her as a warrior and protector of Vie de Marli, an island with a unique culture and knowledge of demon lore.

For many years Lucia did not know about the circumstances of her birth. She believed her unusual powers and DT form came from magical blood passed down by the ancestors of the people of Vie de Marli, who had once fought alongside the Dark Knight Sparda. Only when Arius began his plan to resurrect an ancient and evil demon named Argosax did she come to learn the truth. After inviting Dante, son of Sparda, to Vie de Marli on Matier's orders, she sought out special artifacts to ensure Argosax remained sealed (this was supposed to be Dante's job, but Lucia wished to do it herself) and met Arius, who told her the full truth and introduced her to a successful hybrid, who bore the same face as Lucia.

Lucia plunged into despair, fearing she would one day be consumed by her demon powers and turned into a being who attacked humans. However, after saving her from Arius's clutches after she went after him and got captured, Dante reassured her this was not so. Matier also talked to Lucia and told her that they might not be related by blood, but they were mother and daughter in every way it really mattered; through experiences and events they had gone through together. Still unsure of herself, Lucia followed Dante to the hellgate where she attacked him and begged him to kill her; again, he told her that her blood would not dictate her future and what she would be. When she cried, he told her the words that really gave her the will to live again - 'devils never cry.'

Dante went into the hellgate to defeat the Embodiment of Despair, Argosax's true form, which had been awoken despite the ritual Arius had been attempting to use to resurrect it not being completed. Worried he might not return but doing as he asked, Lucia stayed behind, but Arius came after her, consumed by a part of Argosax's spirit. He called her Chi and said she would one day attack those dear to her, but she told him that her name was Lucia, and devils never cried. Defeating him for good, she then went to wait for Dante's return from the hellgate, believing that he would return no matter what. He had inspired her to live, and in return, she had gained an unbreakable faith in him.

Personality:
Lucia has a somewhat calm and serious personality, nurtured by her upbringing as a warrior and guardian of humans. She is never one to come out with wit or humour during a fight with an enemy, preferring to speak with her blades unless words are absolutely necessary. When she has decided someone has a dark heart, she never shows any mercy towards them, but neither does she judge someone to have a dark heart quickly. Not one who makes rash decisions (most of the time). It takes a lot to get her angry, but when she IS angry, you know she has good cause to be.

Basically, though, Lucia is kind and thoughtful and always has the interests of those she protects at heart. She absolutely hates the thought of anything happening to her that could hinder her duties as a guardian. Once she thought that her demon blood might turn her against humans and this thought made her want to die; however, Dante persuaded her otherwise. There is still sometimes a hint of fear that it could happen deep inside her, but she keeps this insecurity well hidden, and she still hates Arius deeply. Prone to depression at times, understandably.

Other:
As a demon hybrid, Lucia has a 'Devil Trigger' in which she can turn into a harpy-like devil. In this form, her abilities are increased and she can fly. A talented warrior, she fights using two blades and throwing knives and is extremely swift in battle.

Slender and beautiful, with a head of bright red hair, brown eyes and tanned skin.

First Person (entry type):
I... have never posted anywhere like this before, but Matier has encouraged me to connect with other people across the world. Why I chose this particular place, well, as stupid as it sounds, a community named 'DramaDramaDuck' seems like the sort of place a friend of mine might join. Dante, on the small chance you're here, say hello, hmm?

Anyway, let me introduce myself. My name is Lucia, one of the Protectors of Vie de Marii. It is an island whose people I am proud to belong to; we have a great history and a way of life that has survived through many centuries without being destroyed by the advances in the world. As a Protector, my duty is to protect all humans in this place from demon invasions, which we are prone to. Matier, who is my mother, raised me to be able to fulfill this obligation well; she once fought as an ally of the great Dark Knight Sparda, and was an incredible warrior herself.

There was a time when I knew doubt in myself and... what I am, but those feelings no longer exist within me. I am proud of what I am, and happy that I can fulfill my duty well and protect those that I love. To tell you of it is no shame to me at all.

Well, now that is done... why don't you introduce yourselves? Are there any other warriors out there? It would be interesting to discuss technique; I stick to blades and knives myself. In all honesty I have an advantage when I fight because of my special abilities, and can pull off techniques that a normal human could not, but that does not mean there are ways for those without my type of blood to make up for it. Arius proved that, though he fell, in the end, as he deserved.

Third Person:

Lucia was training, her blades cutting through the air as she went through the motions of her fighting style with ease. Anyone watching would have thought she was concentrating purely on her routine, but this was not so. She was deep in thought.

About Arius and his creations.

No matter what she said, there was still a part of her set aside for hating the man and loathing everything he had been. He was dead now, and thanks to Dante, Lucia had found her will to live, but he still cast a shadow over her heart. That vile sorceror, who had created hybrid after hybrid in his labs just for the sake of making powerful bodyguards who'd do what he said without questioning his order. Soulless beings without enough free-will to go against him. Had their days been spent just blindly following his will?

Technically, those things had been her sisters. Their biological make-up and faces were identical to hers, after all. But she had been a defect because she had, has, a soul, because he had looked at her and realised she would grow up to have independent thought and therefore cast her out to die.

Therefore, though their blood linked them, she had never thought of them as family, just as she absolutely refused to acknowledge the fact that Arius was technically her father.

Lucia frowned, and moved from using her swords to throwing her daggers at carefully placed targets around the room.

But she had a mother with whom she had no blood link whatsoever. Matier, who had saved her from death and raised her to be a proud warrior and guardian of Vie de Marli. Lucia loved her dearly, something which had not wavered even when she had first learnt the truth of her birth. Matier had given her a wonderful upbringing and a purpose which Lucia could be proud of. Given her knowledge and happy memories and a hug when she was sad. That meant more than blood. Then there was Dante, who had restored her will to live when she had wanted to die. Made her realise that her biological makeup should not define who she was. Lucia loved him too, though in what role she was not really sure. As family of some kind, at least, and she knew she would do anything for him as a mark of that bond.

Hopefully they would both help her to one day cast Arius and that hatred for him out of her mind for good. Just by being there. They were family that mattered, people who she could love and trust despite not being linked to her by blood.

There was a thud as a target fell to the floor in pieces, breaking into fragments thanks to the many daggers that had passed straight through it.

Lucia smiled. She would simply have to have faith.
