Character

History

Once known as Lucille Desmoulins, Lucydne was born to a family of wealth and status. While naturally gifted in Thaumaturgy, The Desmouins family rejected magic in favor of social appearances. Upon discovering her talent, Lucydne began to rebel against her family to what would seem no avail. After being pressured into a marriage at fifteen, Lucydne committed the ultimate act of rebellion in setting her dress alight in front of hundreds of guests. Her actions led to her immediate ejection from the Desmoulins family and the soon following change of name.

Two years after her ejection, Lucydne met a young Hyur Paladin named Andre at the sanctum of the twelve. Their travels led them through Eorzea, both sworn to a mission to help rather than harm. Side by side, the two aided in solving the plight of those weaker, less fortunate than they. Within two years, their journey would lead to their meeting of a young girl, no older than thirteen, named Sera Vann. Sera, though young, was already an adept fighter with her fists. Desperate for a younger sister, Lucydne took Sera under her wing, working to correct what Lucydne considered to be Sera's deplorable accent and vulgar demeanor. The three friends soon became like family, Lucydne falling for Andre. The paladin resisted Lucydne's advances, dictating that love and romance were but secondary concerns to the needs of the less fortunate. The bond only strengthened under the feelings the Thaumaturge harbored for Andre. When their travels led them to The Stone Vigil, their bond only strengthened further under the trials the keep provided.

Deep within the Stone Vigil, a mistake and a sacrifice were made. Andre, in an act of true selflessness, fought the beasts alone while Sera aided Lucydne in escaping the keep. Even in her weakened state, Lucydne fought and screamed to stay in fight- even if it meant certain death. The two women waited outside of the keep for three days and three nights before going to search for Andre. All that remained from the battle were several corpses of beasts and the blood covered sword and shield belonging to their beloved friend. Without his weapon to attack, nor his shield to defend himself, it was clear Andre had died deeper within the maws of the Stone Vigil. It is still unclear to this day who tipped the beasts guarding the keep to their presence.

Lucydne blamed Sera for the loss of Andre, hiring a dragoon with every last bit of her Gil to kill the woman once considered her younger sister. Vowing to get stronger to never lose a loved one again, Lucydne trained in Mor Dhona while the dragoon did her bidding. He returned with one of Sera's Ceruleum blue eyes as proof that he had killed Sera Vann. Satisfied with his job well done, Lucydne
