Lumen’s younger years were nothing particularly special though her kind was well off compared to other races in Boreas no doubt. Time was often spent anxiously awaiting the practice of Thauma, which could not have come soon enough. Both parents scurried with her to begin the ritual. Elven heritage traits were a plus during this time as she possesses a natural knack for spells unlike some others who were a bit clumsy during the first few months of practice. Much like the Elves who obsess over experimentation Lumen obsessed over learning to hopefully someday master her abilities. This dream came before family and drove a wedge between friends, which altogether isolated her. Not minding one bit however as her once pure ambitions turned to pompous and dangerous endeavors to become powerful. For some reason Lumen’s parents began to question the Elves plan with thaumaturgy and magitechnology, which immediately placed a red flag on their family. At the age of 19 Lumen became engaged to a rather well to do Elf who knew a thing or two about Boreas’ direction but kept any information under lock and key—so to speak. While little did she know that her family planned to place matters into their own hands. With the hope of coming to a peaceful compromise they sought the Elven council and were not heard from again. Word spread like wild fire about her family’s traitorous views and her fiancé was none the happier about wedding a conspirator, and she fled in fear of being torn asunder knowing that’s exactly what they’d do to her. Lumen’s beliefs have now been shaken to the core with banishing herself to the border of Boreas. Lumen eventually met up with exiled elves and half-elves alike who gradually became like family. In the beginning she still contained the characteristics of a typical pretentious Elf and held her nose high above everyone else. Time soon calmed her cruel heart a bit and with eyes wide open Lumen currently sees the ostracism of half-elves and the damage her pure-blood heritage has bestowed upon the land. She utilizes supportive spells the most in hopes of aiding fellow adventures who share a similar view. Now aiming to somehow try and put a stop to this madness though the world continues to spiral in a deepening darkness. Lumen sometimes fears she will inevitably become swallowed up by it all as well. --- Sorry, made an elf...had a picture I was dying to use. Hope it’s ok that I didn't indulge further in the personality department. I think that you guys will come to understand her better as I rp her since she’ll react differently to everyone/thing. & I adored Tales of Xillia and am currently playing tales of Symphonia & Symphonia Dawn of the New World. ^^
