The Italian woman has an ivory skin-tone that almost glows in the sun, she has no problem with getting a nice tan either. She is quite tall compared to the other women in her family standing at a solid 5 feet 7 inches. She has light chestnut-colored hair that has natural highlights, Luci takes a lot of pride in her hair and would never put anything damaging in it. She often prefers to wear it down usually only wearing it up for special occasions. Amber are the color of her eyes, certain colors will pop out depending on what she is wearing though grey always seems the most prominent. Luci always has a thing about looking nice and presentable no matter where she goes. One of her favorite things to say is, "You never know when someone might want to take a picture."[/color][/indent] [color=FFDAB9][sub][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/sub][/color] [center][color=CD5C5C]❀[/color][color=FFDAB9]Compassionate[/color] [color=CD5C5C]❀[/color] [color=FFDAB9]Humorous[/color] [color=CD5C5C]❀[/color] [color=FFDAB9]Loyal[/color] [color=CD5C5C]❀[/color] [color=FFDAB9]Patient[/color] [color=CD5C5C]❀[/color] [color=FAFAD2]Insecure[/color] [color=CD5C5C]❀[/color] [color=FAFAD2]Compulsive[/color] [color=CD5C5C]❀[/color] [color=FAFAD2]Indecisive[/color] [color=CD5C5C]❀[/color] [color=FAFAD2]Dramatic[/color][color=CD5C5C]❀[/color][/center] [color=CD5C5C]"Ya know...just by looking at you people would think you were the kindest lady ever. But once they get to meet you your kind of a bitch." One of Luciana's high school friends said that to her one day and it sort of just stuck with her. Luciana looks and sounds like she would be a very approachable person and honestly she wouldn't mind if that's how people thought of her like, however she has this bad-girl complex that she feels like she has to maintain. While she man say the occasional rude comment here and there and partake in some questionable activities Luci really is a kind girl with a good heart. Being raised by a hard-working single father taught her to appreciate the things she had and the people around her, even if she tried to act tough.[/color] [color=FFDAB9][sub][b][u]History[/u][/b][/sub][/color] [color=CD5C5C]Luciana was born and raised in the countryside of Tuscany, Italy. Her father was a kind man by the name of Lorenzo, he owned a small vineyard and also grew several crops as well as tending to a personal garden. While not large enough to actually sell to restaurants her father made a living selling to smaller places, such as bars and those running private events. This allowed Lorenzo to spoil his one and only daughter, his precious and cute Luciana. Even though Luci grew up well cared for she was always taught to appreciate the things she got from a young age, there were a few times where she even helped her father with charity events.[/color] [color=CD5C5C]Being raised by such a kind and warm man caused Luci to have a similar outlook on life, however after a fateful glance at a strange woman when she was fifteen things seemed to change. While reading among the green vines her father grew Luciana came upon a lady who she did not know. She was beautiful to Luci and she admired how gracefully she moved among the vines. Since it wasn't uncommon for tourists to wander in she didn't think much about it until she mentioned it to her father, after describing what the woman looked like he seemed to get lost in memories that had been long buried. That was the day Luciana discovered her heritage - that she was a Demigod and child of Demeter.[/color] [color=CD5C5C]After that her mother began to visit them, there was no longer a reason to hide. At first Luciana was nervous around the woman, a goddess was her mother? How was she supposed to even interact with someone like that? But it soon became evident that Demeter was actually a very kind lady. Luci learned that what drew Demeter to her father were the vineyards and crops, but most importantly the beautiful garden that he had made from scratch. Demeter would rant and rave about how wonderful and loved the flowers were, just like Luciana herself.[/color] [color=CD5C5C]As Luciana grew one big thing that began to change was her sexuality. She realized that she was attracted to girls, there were so much more tolerable and attractive than guys were, however this was something she knew she had to keep to herself. Both her mother and father had told her how they hoped she found a nice man at the school she would eventually go to, they seemed so happy about it how could she shatter it by telling them a man would never satisfy her? So it was just easier to bottle up all the feelings and thoughts, she wouldn't even tell those she considered friends in fear that they may say something. She began to act differently after that, she found it easier to ward people off if she acted like a bitch even if all she really wanted to do was make friends. Though even under that act most could tell that she was a kind and compassionate person, must be why so many people seemed to stick around.[/color] [color=CD5C5C]When it was time for her to go to the Academy her father was practically bawling, he wouldn't get to see his precious daughter for months until the summer. While she was sad Luci was also relieved, she would be able to relax a bit without having the constant worry of exposing herself.[/color] [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/82kYXvF.gif[/img][/center] [center][color=FAFAD2][i]"My child your very presence is like that of the finest flower, beautiful yet delicate. Though when exposed to the harshest of elements you preserve and continue to grow stronger."[/i][/color][color=CD5C5C] - Demeter[/color][/center] [hr] [color=FFDAB9][sub][b][u]Godly Parent[/u][/b][/sub][/color] [indent][color=CD5C5C]Demeter, Goddess of harvest, agriculture, grains, seasons, fertility, nourishment, bread and the earth.[/color][/indent] [color=FFDAB9][sub][b][u]Relationship With Godly Parent[/u][/b][/sub][/color] [indent][color=CD5C5C]Luciana actually has a very good relationship with her mother. She's known of her heritage and moth since she was fifteen, the goddess visiting every so often to see how her daughter was faring. In those visits Luci learned a lot about her mother, she was a kind and warm person...even if she was a little scatterbrained at times. She really seemed to love all her children and family, it was a quality that Luci herself hoped to have one day. Demeter always treated Luci like she was important, bringing her little trinkets she found or telling her all about rare flowers that she hoped her daughter could see one day. Out of all her stories however Luci found the story of Persephone the most intriguing, though it seemed like her mother didn't like Hades all that much.[/color][/indent] [color=FFDAB9][sub][b][u]Demigod Abilities[/u][/b][/sub][/color] [indent] [color=CD5C5C][b]Bed Of Roses[/b][/color] [color=FAFAD2]I This is a conditional ability as the only way she can use it if she's near actual roses. She can manipulate them and use them as if they were whips, using their pointed thorns to cut and shred if need be. This is probably one of her best known abilities and her favorite to use. As long as the roses themselves live she can produce as many vines as she can, however once those pretty roses wither and die or are destroyed then she can no longer use the ability.[/color] [color=CD5C5C][b]Volt Shower[/b][/color] [color=FAFAD2]I Like most of her abilities this is a very offensive one, Luciana is able to take fallen leaves from the ground or the tree's around her and use them as if they were razor blades. Unfortunately this can be easily countered by anyone who can use winds to knock them back or fires to burn them to ashes. Luci also can use this one for very long and if used long enough she will eventually run out of energy. She really will only use this ability if she finds herself in a sticky situation. [/color] [color=CD5C5C][b]Secret Garden Lullaby[/b][/color] [color=FAFAD2]I Luciana isn't sure what to call this ability, however it is one that is actually important and dear to her. When she sings then flowers and plants will both sprout and grow stronger. Often when she was a child she found that when she sang in her fathers garden that the flowers seemed to grow brighter, as if they were happy with her song. In return the flowers with produce strong aromas that can cause people to immensely tired and some to even fall asleep.[/color] [color=CD5C5C][b]Plant Mimacry[/b][/color] [color=FAFAD2]I This ability allows Luciana so produce pheromones similar to that of plants, usually poisonous in nature however. For example a bleeding heart or a blood root can cause vomiting, as such Luci could cause whoever touches her skin to experience these same symptoms. Honeysuckle can help with inflammation in injuries - Luci could produce a pheromone to help those injured. Snapdragon can be used as a sedative...you get the picture.[/color] [/indent] [center][sub][b][color=CD5C5C]Carmella Rose[/color][/b] | [b][color=FFDAB9]FFDAB9[/color][/b][/sub][/center][/hider]
