Our next character bio is for Lucy Nakata, a freelance mage who meets Alex and Conrad early in their journey, and joins the party.
Name: Lucy Nakata Gender: Female Age: 19 Height: 5’6” Weight: 120 lb Eye color: Turquoise Hair color: Dark brown Skin color: Pale white Build: Slender, average proportions. Distinguishing features: Has Weijin eyes (despite an otherwise typical Saniel complexion), wears a headband
Hometown: City-State of Jekith Nationality: Mixed, half Saniel, half Weijin Occupation: Freelance mage Family: Parents, strained relationships (loves her parents, but tension arises from them failing to understand her at times). Father is Weijin, mother is Saniel. Younger sister, good relationship. Educational background: Full education given by Mages Guild Intelligence level: Excellent, aptitude in numerous fields Mental quirk (If any): Partial OCD, sporadic issues with anxiety, mild autism (leading to higher intelligence and “book smarts”, but trouble with social interaction) Favorite color: White and turquoise
Introverted or Extroverted: Introverted, but has many traits of extroversion (i.e. is generally friendly and outgoing, but can go days without any social contact and not even realize it) Goals in life: To advance within the Mages Guild, as well as acquire friends and knowledge. Primary motivation: Curiosity/pursuit of knowledge. Primary fears: Most forms of reptiles, bad or hostile weather. Source(s) of happiness: Being with friends, and enjoying new acquisitions (such as new books or trinkets) Spiritual characteristics: Universalist, though with some Druidic tendencies due to her affinity for elemental magic. Fairly conservative view (i.e. feels one shouldn’t just pray in church, but should lead a proper life through daily action) Equipment description: Wears regular clothing and traveling gear. Boots for traveling, and a cloak. Has fine trim on her clothes, as well as a number of small gems worked into her clothes, and a necklace she wears. Closest thing to protection she wears is a leather bodice. Also has a belt with pouches and several scroll cases.
Bio/personality: Born and raised in the independent City-State of Jekith, which is located near the Saniel/Weijin border. Due to its location, the city’s population is a heavy mix of both nations, along with citizens from the Eastern Countries. Lucy’s family is one of mixed heritage, her father being of Weijin descent, and her mother being of Saniel descent. Growing up, Lucy demonstrated remarkable aptitude in school, and was soon accepted into the Mages Guild, where she was given the very best education she could receive in Jekith, as well as extensive magical training, which she also demonstrated considerable talent in.
Despite her high level of intelligence, she found social interaction hard, often preferring to spend time adrift in her own imagination, rather than socialize with the other students. She also engaged in considerable amounts of reading outside of her studies, learning a wide variety of subjects, and began a collection of various trinkets and knick-knacks, ranging from miniature figurines of animals to jewelry centuries old.
Despite her social awkwardness she dealt with, she remained perpetually cheerful and energetic, even almost hyper at times, often taking great glee in simple pleasures. While she is spiritually conservative, she finds herself having a more liberal attitude towards social issues. Throughout her life, she also found her parents to be a source of much annoyance, for, while she certainly loves them, they could be very overbearing, almost smothering, at times, which frequently annoys her.
Upon completing her apprenticeship studies, she felt considerable relief at “escaping” the confines of Jekith, eager to travel the world for some time, and learn things she wouldn’t be able to back home. Joining a caravan bound for Jorandek, she made her way to the larger city, where she spent several months engaged in various uninspiring jobs, before meeting Alex and Conrad, and joining them.
In-game role: Lucy is the offensive caster of the group, having magical powers of five of the seven elements found in the game. Every monster in the game is weak to an element, and knowing which one that is will be the key to maximizing Lucy’s damage output. Early in the game, she will likely be your primary damage dealer. She also has the most Area-of-Effect spells, which strike every monster at once, but these powerful spells drain her SP very quickly. Defensively, however, she’s vulnerable to attack, so make sure to keep her healed.
