Appearance & Personality

Fair skin, snowy hair, odd eyes. Lucaell is of almost average build and average height - she does enough outdoors activities to be fit, but isn't really brawny. Pretty yes, but only through relative efforts. Like most performers, the girl takes care of her appearance daily, and behind the cosmetics, any eye can see an ordinary, plain, mundane round face. If it wasn't for the powder, Caell's face would be easily forgotten.

She is as pale as a ghost and acts like one. The girl's expressions are absolutely neutral. She's extremely hard to read and, although understanding humor and using it quite often (in her own way), is rarely seen laughing out loud after a good joke. There are times she just spaces out. She's soft-spoken, her voice is rather high-pitched, but she always speaks in a slow, hushed, almost monotonous tone. To top the cold beauty trope, the girl's words are sometimes disturbingly cryptic.

The girl has nerves of steel and is a patient being in general. The façade is thick and well built: she will keep her head cool in almost all situations. It takes a lot to make her openly uncomfortable, angry, or overjoyed, and can be slightly frustrating for people looking for/expecting strong reactions. Luca is outgoing and an absolute extrovert. She is a people person, enjoys long discussions and tries to launch debates every time she is able to do so. She can be surprisingly opinionated at times, but is always willing to consider other viewpoints. In the same manner, she tends to over-think many things. Coupled with her laziness, she can become quite the indecisive character. She's perceptive, but then again, her ability to doubt things, anything at all, can be either rewarding or a huge waste of time.

She's fascinated by outer beauty and colors, and tends to always compliment people at random, especially strangers. Good at dealing with kids and elders.

Present

The girl is most often seen in Ul'dah. According to her, she visited the city for the first time three years ago or so. She's been an adventurer since then, but definitely the lazy kind. Only taking contracts when large sums of money are absolutely needed in the week or when she sees a new instrument she'd like, she prefers to play music to put bread on the table in general.

Miscellaneous

RUMORS Some of these rumors might be untrue or greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "She's often seen playing outside for gils, with an instrument like... A guitar maybe?" "A mandolin." "Yeah, whatever. She's skilled. And cute. I'm digging the pigtails." ■ "Of course 'Lucaell Tareth'eian' isn't her real name, dumb ass." ■ "Well, I am worried after all. I mean, the girl keeps sleeping at the most unusual places. What's up with her?" ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "I heard she was playing at parties and private events for all kind of folks! And that they're being hella generous, too." "What, really?" "Check out her boots, you really think that they're something you can pay by stroking some guitar strings in the street?" "Mandolin." "That's what I said." ■ "Perfect pitch. Yes. That's certain." ■ "Trading information for money is not a rare thing, you know. I don't see why she wouldn't do it. You hear a lot of things when you spend hours in the streets, or near drunken people from all kind of social standings." ■ "I've seen her outside Ul'dah. She's not a master of archery, but definitely an excellent student. She can't possibly be self-taught. She had some training." ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "You're never going to believe this. Lucaell's real name is Lucile Townsend, right? I heard that she was called Lucaell Tareth'eian because of her terrible handwriting. When she registered at the Adventurer's guild, people read her name that way on the journal, and started to refer to her as such. She doesn't seem to mind the name, but I'm not sure she wants people to know about the handwriting thing, I mean... To think she's trying to make us swallow it's some kind of spiritual title or whatever!" ■ "Well, technically, she is engaged. Her mother is a despicable woman, though. There's not doubt about it being an arranged marriage. I'd want to run away from home if I were her, too. Merchant families are no fun, sometimes.It's all about contracts and trading. Even with their kids. Ew." ◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players) ■ "I've yet to know why, but I have the uncontrollable feeling that she views me with projectile properties..." - Flynt Reddard ■ "She is a fine musician... For a hyur." - Virella Douront ■ "Sure, she's aloof and a bit distance, but she's only thinking about her next song. Always a treat listening to her play that mandolin." - Kiera Hawkeye ■ "Q-quite the nice lady. She d-does have a bit more to her than just her music, though." - Croix Leradine ■ "Strangest woman I've ever met and that ain't no drama. She's got a strange way with words that hasn't made my work any easier. She's liable to get herself killed." - Barengar Armsbreaker ■ "Feel free to add yours!" - Character Name ■ "Feel free to add yours!" - Character Name ■ "Feel free to add yours!" - Character Name ■ "Feel free to add yours!" - Character Name ■ "Feel free to add yours!" - Character Name ■ "Feel free to add yours!" - Character Name

RELATIONSHIPS ● Gwannes Oskwell: Although Lucaell has extremely mixed feelings about Gwannes for obvious reasons, she... somehow wishes to be nice to him, in the same way parent take care of sick, disabled, socially and mentally inept children. [edit] Friends & Allies Acquaintances Foes & Rivals Color Keys ?♥ Kiera Hawkeye Perhaps the mother Lucaell always wanted, or needed. Lucile cares deeply about the Ala Mhigan woman, and is more than happy to see Kiera cares just as much. ♦ Gwannes Oskwell The man is much more than an idiot with a green armor and a big lance. His mission was to bring Caell back to her mother, but he abandoned ♦ Seiko Mamushi A kind doman refugee, wife of Oskwell. ♦ Tynos Riller She met him at the Mystic Runestone Tourney. The two of them talked for a little bit more in the streets of Ul'dah. She trusts him and considers him a good friend. ♦♥ Nigel Beaulieu She first met the Elezen at the Quicksand. Although knowing little about him, she sees him as a potential muse for her songs, whether the man likes it or not. He's too elegant to be forgotten, in her mind. They met a third time, one evening, and she decided that they should be friend. ♦ V'taqa Tia Lucaell's very first Miqo'te friend. He is a pleasant man who uses pleasant words. The man poured a certain amount of trust in her during their first meeting, and she wished to give him some kind of payback: as much as she desires him as her friend, there are some things about the Miqo'te that can't allow Lucile to judge him perfectly trustworthy. Not really into that whole Fantasia potion business, though. ?♦ Reyne Travers Reyne truly befriended her after a night of drinking. The both of them were supposed to go on an adventure, but the man is evasive, resulting in her packing her things and waiting at the gates for nothing. He confessed his feelings for her soon after that when apologizing, and although acknowledging them and accepting them, she was not able to return them. Reyne left one evening, and although she still wants to consider him her friend, things will never truly be the same. ?● Brianna Dunham: The Highlander woman is loud and full of life. Lucaell used to be quite intimidated by her, but it's not the case anymore. ?● Locke Fairwind Although knowing little about Locke, Lucaell enjoys his company and seeks friendship. ● Ama'drien Amaro: A colleague. He shares her love for art and poetry, and she is looking forward to meeting him again. ● Keiragi Kishi The man escorted her to Coerthas. She's grateful and appears to like him, but finds his character intimidating. How can a man be so gentle and stiff at the same time? Weird. ● Croix Leradine One strange, overly shy Lalafell Luca met while playing in the streets. He's gentle, and she does not seem to mind him at all. ?● Domri Blackblade The "hired muscle" has a character she likes, though she does feel like their opinions differ on a certain amount of topics. She used to enjoy his company, but her opinion of him shifted with time, mostly because of Brianna. ♠ Barengar Armsbreaker: Another Highlander Lucile met in Ul'dah. She used to find his cynicism refreshing, but after learning more about him and his past in the Petite Ala Mhigo, she's not going to let the man anywhere near her friends. He's not just some kind of big guy in armor with a thing for gils. ♠♥ Virella Douront It appears that Lady Douront's mind is rotten, according to Lucaell. While she would like her opinion of the Ishgardian to shift, Virella doesn't look like the type willing to provide efforts. Caell will try to avoid discussing politics with her in the future.
