"Wanna come with me on an adventure?"
Personality
Lucia is headstrong and isn't afraid to tackle any situation that's thrown her way, even if it may put her in some kind of danger. She loves to go off and explore the world around her, though she normally doesn't go too far from home unless she's prepared. When planning a vacation, she'll often call on friends to see if they'd like to come with her. Lucia does well alone or in a group, and doesn't have a preference between the two. It'll depend on her mood in that moment. Because of that, she's been called sporatic by others. She's laid-back and likes to live in the moment.
She's open about herself and feelings. Lucia has a hard time letting go of things she sees sentimental value in, especially old clothes or plushies. She'll often resort to patching them up until she can't anymore. Most of her favorite clothes have a patch or two. She doesn't normally like to upgrade the things in her house unless she sees a reason to. After all, why fix something that isn't broken?

Backstory
Lucia always had an imaginative mind growing up. She loved writing silly little songs and stories as a kid, and made fun doodles for the stories she made up. She loved showing off what she made to her parents, who encouraged her to keep writing about the things she liked. She loved singing along to the radio, and trying to make up her own catchy songs.
While in elementary school, she met another kid in her class and the two of them hung out a lot. She'd tell Dakota all kinds of stories, and would share her favorite songs with him, even the ones she made up. Though her favorite thing to tell him was the stories she'd make up, or the things she wouldn't admit she exaggerated.
Lucia grew close to Dakota over the years, and the two became best friends! When they didn't get the same teacher, she made sure to spend time with him before school, during recess, and after school when they could. Once the other kids started finding out their magic, Lucia was ecstatic when Dakota showed off his! She loved seeing the kinds of plants and flowers he could grow. She always told him that she'd be next, but no matter how much she tried, she never seemed to be able to do any kind of magic.
She was distressed when she heard that her parents were planning to move to Patrune. That's a whole different continent! She wouldn't be able to see Dakota! She begged and begged for them to change their minds. Lucia loved her life in Marina! She had her friends, and she knew her way around! Nothing she did could change their minds, so she sadly said her goodbyes to Dakota, and hoped that they could reunite again someday.
Lucia quickly became fond of Patrune and all the snow she got to see. It was like she was on a whole new adventure! She explored around her new home, and would write to Dakota about it sometimes. Unfortunately, she eventually lost his address when she was twelve during a spring cleaning while her parents were helping her go through her room. She tried to remember it, but she never could.
Not long after losing her friend's address, Lucia was talking a walk during the summer. While it's normally cooler in Patrune compared to her old home in Nemorstom, there wasn't any snow! She knew her parents wouldn't want to go up to the mountains just to see snow during the day. While she was thinking about it, she felt something unusually cold in her hand. When she looked, Lucia beamed at the piece of ice in her hand. She learned that her magic was Elementalism that day, and she couldn't wait to get back to her old home someday and tell Dakota about it!
During her teen years, Lucia's parents introduced her to skiing. There was a ski resort up in the mountains close to her town, Snowbush. She had a hard time learning how to ski, and it took her a few trips to finally feel confident enough to go down some of the slopes without any help. While it never became one of her favorite activities, she like going to the resort with her friends and family every once in awhile.
When she was sixteen, Lucia had the idea of making her own skis out of the ice she conjured. She made the best looking ice skis she could and tried them out! Lucia quickly learned the hard way that it was a terrible idea. Before she knew it, she'd crashed into a tree. The last thing she could remember was her right side being in immense pain, then waking up in the hospital. She lost most of her right arm due to the damage done, and ended up with scars along her right side.
Lucia was in denial for awhile, laying in the hospital bed, thinking about how it was all just a bad dream she needed to wake up from. She'd wake up soon, right? Right. She was fine! It took her weeks to even begin accepting it, and months to even think about getting a prosthetic. Lucia didn't think she'd need one. She'd do just fine! It took her a few more months to adjust to living with one arm, and she was thankful her parents helped her out.
While Lucia got use to how life was now, she started to get back into writing songs like she use to do when she was young. She'd write about how she was feeling that day, and soon made it an almost daily habit of keeping a diary. She'd often express her feelings by writing them into a short little song, and she'd sing these songs to herself sometimes.
While Lucia did do a little research on prosthetics, it wasn't until a year later that she told her parents she wanted to look into getting one. It took a little while, and some saving, but Lucia managed to get one that she was somewhat alright with, though it took her a little bit to get use to. Over time, Lucia grew to like her prosthetic and how helpful it was.
Once she was an adult, Lucia's parents got her a new prosthetic that fit much more comfortably, and she's been taking care of it ever since. She saved up her money and moved back to Nemorstom, and make sure to keep in touch with her family. She wasn't able to find a spot back in Marina she liked, so Lucia settled down in Laminie. It was quite a change from going to a snowy wooded area, to a warmer farmland, but Lucia doesn't mind it.
She started writing more songs and posted them online, causing her to gain a small following. One of her fans reached out to her, asking her questions and explaining how they use technomancy magic to play electric guitar. She chatted with them, and eventually found out Izzy lived in Laminie as well. The two of them met up, and soon started making music together.
Lucia continues to make music with Izzy. She hopes to one day move back to Marina, and reunite with her old friend. She has a ton of stories to tell him after all! And a new friend to introduce him too!
Presently, Lucia is reunited with Dakota, and the two live together at Lucia's place in Marina. She works at a skating rink part time, and uses what she sees in her day to day life to inspire her to come up with new songs.
