About
Do NOT use her art for your pfp or aesthetic, not even her yumeship arts. She's my persona! Sharing pretty much of the same emotions, story and appearance from me.
Lu is agreeable and somewhat old-fashioned in her language and mannerisms; she very regularly has her head in the clouds, and spends a ridiculous amount of time day dreaming. Even if she looks "very serious", she will always be polite and smile at you if you talk to her, just don't expect a long conversation if she doesn't trust you; Although, loves talking about her passions once you get her out of her shell a bit. Lu is more naive than she admits, especially if someone she trusts is around.
For her, violence is almost always a last resort since is overly sensitive to the idea of causing harm to others, being haunted by the small memories of the times she unintentionally did so.
Behind the smile, Lu is constantly anxious, depressed, often feeling herself a burden, underestimating herself and assuming how everyone felt about her.
Most of her artworks are from her yumeship with Master Chief (John-117) from Halo!
Story
"I didn't know what I lost until I was conscious enough to realize it."
— Lucy reflecting on her past
A rarity covered with a veil of silk
Since she was little, Lucy showed difficulty understanding how to form bonds with people her age, with isolation being her safe place. The girl filled her days with playing around the allowed sterile walls of the labs and exploring the strange and enchanted artifacts in the ONI facility around her; encountering supernatural entities and experienced paranormal experiences thanks to them. To most people, Lucy was nothing more than a whisper in the wind that sometimes could leave vague images in the memory. Her stepfather only allowed a select few agents to interact with her on a regular basis; the others were forced to look the other way. Especially when her screams of fear and pain filled the halls.
She doesn't remember much about her past due to the set of traumatic experiences that her guardian, Dr. Elias Song, put her on, only recalling vague feelings or phrases that help her weave her memories into a tangled web.
Eventually, Lucy grew up to be a quiet but solitary young lady, known for her good manners and prey animal instinct, flighty, shy, and submissive. Most people remember her as a serious but pleasant person once they interacted with her, The most striking difference is that when interacting with men, she trembles like jelly. Even so, everyone avoids talking to her much, seeing the horn and wings first before her face.
A freak, a monster, a unicorn in basilisk skin, cruel words that she began to hear amidst looks of disapproval and indifference. Leading her to take it out on herself using food.
She didn't form many friendships growing up, fearing that everyone she met was under her stepfather's orders to watch over her or hurt her. She avoids forming close bonds with other agents, it's not like they're interested in talking to her anyway.
Lucy has been utilized continuously since age 7 in ONI's "Cultural Influence" division. Primary role: Fashion icon and youth ambassador. Image carefully cultivated to project: innocence, purity, otherworldly beauty, approachability. Her unique appearance was positioned as "voluntary cosmetic augmentation" to normalize body modification among wealthy youth demographics. Likewise, her image is helpful in diverting reporters to other areas or to forcibly disinterest them in topics that ONI prefers to keep. On the rare occasions she was assigned to Spartan units —usually assigned as her guards—, she couldn't help but freeze in terror during briefings.
Lucynthia didn't begin to open her heart until her personal makeup artist, Ellena, began to prove time and again that she saw beyond the surface, staying with her even when the mask broke and revealed the broken girl underneath. Little by little, with a trembling voice, she began to confide in her now friend, telling her about her memories and thoughts, leading them to form a deep bond and hoping that someday she would feel worthy of being seen and loved not despite her flaws, but with them.
She began to believe it until the presumed fall of the earth at the hands of the goddess-like AI happened.
With ONI weaker than ever and a population trying to get up, Lucynthia began to see beyond the teachings imposed by her stepfather and the organization, leading her to new experiences with her friend, a retired ODST who helped her survive the most dangerous days after the attack and the small circle of trust she began to form.

Facts
Favorites
Trivia
They take a lot of inspo from Ruby (How to Get My Husband on My Side) and Shury (A Stepmother's Marchen).
She can make squeaks, caws and other strange sounds.
She eats like a bird. (very little)
Loves coffee with coffee milk but ADORES instant coffee with chocolate-flavored coffee creamer.
She has sequelae from asthma, although she does not like to accept it, she gets allergies in winter for the same reason.
She is terrified of soldiers and almost anything related to the military, due to the "fear" that her guardian instilled in her towards the Spartans, she prefers to stay as far away from them as possible, believing that one wrong step will cause them to finish her off. She knows it's just her paranoia and fear towards them.
She often dreams of the freedom to make her own decisions and have control over her life, free of the Officce of Naval Intelligence and away from the twisted humanity that use her for their own enjoyment.
Although she is based on me, she has developed her own character using me as a foundation, so there are things we are the same and things we don't.
Traits
A white Promethean Crawler Lu named Esam, mainly used for transport. Obtained after an encounter with a pack at a Forerunner facility, he was the sole survivor after proving unusually docile with her; Lu frequently visits him, leading them to form an unbreakable bond.
A helmet forged from materials capable of withstanding the pressure of space, keeping her alive if needed, including a program linked to her neural interface so that she can express her emotions in it and activate different functions, along with a sword forged from the same material, usually used for ceremonial occasions
Her augmentations sometimes allow her to cause slight interference with cameras and other equipment. Furthermore, various artifacts show a better affinity with her than with the average human.
Strengths
Although Lucy is not the most affectionate, she has shown fierce loyalty to those she considers trusted friends or even family, being able to forgive them even if they stab her in the back several times.
Due to her series of negative experiences, Lucy developed an emotional intelligence beyond her years. She hardly judges people, even if they hurt her, usually offering a quiet shoulder to lean on. However, she is very self-aware of her emotions, especially how withdrawn she is.
Lucy is noted for thinking outside the box. She has demonstrated the ability to adapt to new challenges or present solutions/ideas on the spot in a creative way.
Flaws
Even though Lucy has experienced human evil firsthand —repeatedly—, she believes in the inherent goodness of all people even if she's scared they'll hurt her, which can cause her to be too trusting at times. When Lucy considers someone trustworthy, her judgment takes longer to process people's intentions, so an innocent joke may first pass as a real threat to her.
For most of her life, Lucy has been considered ugly and outside the beauty standard, so she hardly accepts compliments, believing them to be malicious at first/to manipulate her into danger.
She scares easily, flinches out of nowhere, and screams at the sight of small moving things like birds, insects, or balls.
Stats
Likes
She prefers mild coffee drinks but not decaffeinated, preferably with chocolate creamer.
Especially blackberry & cheese bread and dark chocolate.

Dislikes
She is a polite young lady, she can tolerate and occasionally say swear words, but she is uncomfortable with people with bad manners. She's also deeply scared of men.
It makes her deeply uncomfortable. She takes it personally and might give you a cold shoulder if you do.

Canon Timeline — She knows about the super soldier (who doesn't), but she doesn't really want him around; thinking he's a glorified mass murderer. In the canon timeline she never met or fell in love with Master Chief! She's actually very afraid of him.
Halo Infinite AU — She was terrified of him, running away at first until exhaustion made her give in. They formed a bond by both noticing the invisible wounds they carried until the rumor spread, tainting their relationship and ultimately leading to her death.
Arranged marriage AU — She thought John would be like the others, that he'd take things without thinking. What a surprise she got when he showed no interest in her, never forced her to do anything she didn't want to do, and gave her space and time to gradually open up.
Casual Relationahip AU — Lucy was extremely submissive at first, but he always tried never to overstep his bounds, afraid of hurting her further.
The bastard she hates.
At first, he was almost affectionate towards her until she made a serious mistake during her training for Section Two. He beat her that night until she begged him to stop. He has a twisted obsession with her modifications made by the Precursor artifact, leading him to only want her close for study; he always kept boundaries with her until she turned 12, at which point the studies and experiments became more brutal before being taken by ONI at full-time.
Called Ellen by Lucy, she is her personal makeup artist and best friend. Lucy trusts her and allows herself to be herself around her.
At first Lucy was distant with Ellen, believing it was another way Song was keeping an eye on her, but with patience, Ellen won her over. Ellen is fiercely protective of Lucy, wishing her a happy life and hoping she regains confidence in herself and others.
