▼ 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.

▼ THE GIRL'S BALLAD - HISTORY

Childhood

Unavailable.

Teenage

Unavailable.

Currently

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.

▼ SKILLS & ABILITIES

▼ MAJOR

■ MUSIC - The girl is gifted, but also knowledgeable about music theory, various instruments and their components. Her perfect pitch is the best addition possible; she is a bit of a prodigy in her field.

■ ARCHERY (LONGBOWS) - Longbows are the things Luca knows best, and coupled with her excellent sight, she can make an excellent sniper with proper preparation and proper ammunition.

■ SLEEPING - Yes, you can be skilled at that.

▼ MINOR

■ MOVEMENT TRAINING / AGILITY - The girl runs fast, jumps high, and is excellent enough at climbing to deserve the title of opo-opo. Hiding and running away; things she's excellent at. Also usually doing good in large bodies of water, she's quite the swimmer.

■ PERSUASION - While not really deceitful nor manipulative, Lucaell is usually good when it comes to negotiation and bargain. Remnants of years spent alongside merchants, perhaps.

■ LOGICAL THINKING / PUZZLE-SOLVING - Puzzles, riddles and investigations soothe her nerves, stimulate her brain and she's quite excellent at these. Maths aren't her forte in that sense, but she's excellent at deciphering what's between the lines, taking hints and connecting dots together--no matter how far apart they might be.

■ BAD, LEWD JOKES - Please don't.

▼ POOR

■ MELEE FIGHTING (UNARMED COMBAT) - Awful. Terrible. A disaster. Knows nothing about footwork nor where and how to punch people. Becomes an easy target if too close to her opponent.

■ MELEE FIGHTING (ARMED COMBAT) - Same thing as above, but with a melee weapon in hand. How do these things work, anyway?

■ RESOURCES - She's a bit of a hobo. She has just enough to eat and get a roof above her head when necessary, but would not exactly be able to buy a cottage, right now.

(Make sure to check the 'color keys' tab.) [edit] Friends & Allies Acquaintances Foes & Rivals COLOR KEYS   Gwannes Oskwell ⌠ ♦♥? ⌡ Green Bean Fighting Machine ► She thought the man an idiot with a green armor and a big lance, but he is a skilled dragoon, and a skilled hunter: His mission was to bring Lucaell back to her mother, but he gave up. The girl feels absolutely indebted, and has considered the man her friend ever since-- A brother, even. There is no character Luca trusts as much as she trusts Oskwell for the moment.   Kiera Hawkeye ⌠ ♦♥ ⌡ Auntie ► 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. While the young lady doesn't tell her everything, she knows she can count on her for good advice.   Seiko Mamushi ⌠ ♦♥♥ ⌡ Chouchou ► A kind Doman refugee, wife of Oskwell-- Her cooking skills are as top-notch as her ability to make Caell feel comfortable. The minstrel finds her absolutely gorgeous. The two of them grew somewhat closer, and Lucaell likes to think of her as her friend.   Lancelaux Fiermont ⌠ ♦? ⌡ -- ► A criminal, dishonored dragoon and rival of Oskwell. The man cares deeply for her, and Lucile considers him a friend, and an ally, since he protected her from Sarro's decision to bring her back to Limsa Lominsa.   Chantelle Rondelais ⌠ ♦ ⌡ -- ► An agent of Lancelaux's group, and a skilled arcanist. While Lucile was not really fond of her at first, the both grew closer as they realized how much the they had in common. Chantelle is more than a salty bitch, and that is what matters.   T'yrus Tia ⌠ ♦♥ ⌡ The Great ► Lucaell has troubles considering T'yrus a man. At worst, he's a spirit, or a possible demigod. Jokes aside, the man is more than great company, and more than a flirt. In her eyes, the Seeker is kind, wise, and she wishes to know more about him.   Locke Fairwind ⌠ ♦? ⌡ Dearest Medic ► Lucaell's thoughts about Locke are... confusing, mixed. But in the end, she sees him mostly as a precious friend, and a confidant.   Tynos Riller ⌠ ♦ ⌡ -- ► A man she met at the Mystic Runestone tourney. Though knowing little about Lucaell, Tynos has been genuinely kind with the girl. He also is the one who indirectly introduced her to her current teacher.   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 friends.   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.   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.   Domri Blackblade ⌠ ● ⌡ -- ► The "hired muscle" has a character she likes, though she does feel like their opinions differ on a certain amount of topics. Considers him somewhat trustworthy.   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? And most importantly, where is he now?   Brianna Dunham ⌠ ●✖ ⌡ -- ► Lucaell knew little about Brianna, but their last encounter was not one of the best. She feels mostly sorry for Domri, she quickly realized the Highlander cared about the girl.   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 Little 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 ⌠ ♠ ⌡ La Madame ► 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.   Sarro Raja ⌠ ♥♠♠ ⌡ My Owl ► Lucile's relationship with Sarro is the very mystery of this era. One thing's sure, though; she sees him as a rival, and although respects him greatly, finds him absolutely unsettling. He's a puzzle she's ready to solve. ♥ Affection: Lucaell is having a particular feeling of want and desire for this specific character, something she could not quite explain.

(Knowledge accessible to all with IC research done on the character unless stated otherwise.) 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?" Uncommon 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." Rumors from the characters 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 ■ "I imagine her songs are well written, and her ability to act is second to few. Princess Blue, indeed." - Sarro Raja ■ "She's... odd. Each time I think I have Lucile figured out, she says something to turn what I have on its head. I'm fond of her, but it's frustrating nonetheless." - Chantelle Rondelais ■ "Luuuucy~~! Why, I must owe her at least three bottles of wine by now. A steep debt, but I suspect she's worth the price of admission: biters usually are, and she nips at her tongue /frequently/. Sadly, the girl is a bit plain in the face, but still pretty easy on the eyes. Now, to block out an evening and take the following memo -- 'personal delivery: 3 bottles, red: Lucy." - Sigurd Sundsteigen ■ "The thirst for redemption leads countless to turmoil." - Nameless Sailor ■ "Lucaell...? Oh, sure, she's pretty! Pretty godsdamned annoying! Most stubborn damnn girl I've ever met... She's refreshing in her own way at least." - Shintaro Kisaragi ■ "Feel free to add yours!" - Character Name ■ "Feel free to add yours!" - Character Name
