Lucia ui Merricke
Baroness of Lorgan
Played by: Amanda
Name:: Lucia ui Merricke
Age: 16
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 115
Background:
The daughter of a prestigious baron, Lucia grew up among the lords and ladies of court. She was an only child and her mother died giving birth to her, but she was greatly loved by her father and he spoiled her and doted upon her at every possible moment, though it wasn't often. She grew up loved and cherished, but never saw the true side of her father.
Lucia grew into a beautiful, bright and gentle young woman. She has always adored her father and believes him to be the perfect gentleman. Her father provided for her the best tutors in the land, knowing that if she was an educated woman she could live a life of fulfilment, but she was always sheltered from anything that could harm her. She was raised on wonderful stories of her beautiful mother and how she was the perfect lady, yet kind and gentle to all, and Lucia has always tried to aspire to the expectations set.
Lucia still lives on her family's lands, but accompanies her father when he makes trips to the capital, which happens to be more often of late. Luckily, the lands of Lorgan were spared for the most part from the despairs of the war.
Personality Profile:
Most find it hard to believe that Lucia did not ever become an unpleasant child or act spoiled, due to the fact that her father gave her everything she wanted. Those that have been around her family attribute that to her mother. Though Lucia never knew her mother, her father saw to it that she knew of her. She learned much from the many stories she was told as a child and has never been greedy or unruly, and has also never been unkind. She has a soft and kind heart, always wanting to help others. She can be a bit naïve at times, but that is not surprising due to how her father raised her. Lucia also has a wild spirit though, that she tries to keep hidden because of what she believes of her mother, and how she was always a proper lady. She can be outspoken when needed and is always trying to increase her knowledge by reading as much as possible.
Physical Profile: Lucia is a petite and attractive young woman. She's not tall and has a small frame, but a lovely figure. She has long, thick dark brown hair and gentle brown eyes. She's graceful and knows how to present herself at court. Her beauty is distinctive even though she doesn't attempt to flaunt it.
Skills and Abilities:
Lucia is well-educated and refined. She's always reading to learn more and she especially enjoys cultural studies. She knows three languages fluently, including her native tongue of Abertawe. She is quite a skilled horsewoman. She's also skilled with horticulture. Though her father believes it to be a servants' task, Lucia always enjoyed gardening and she developed a talent at it. She has a voice from the heavens and has sung since she knew how to speak. She grew up near the water and is quite the swimmer as well. As is typical with ladies, she knows how to sew quite well as well.
