w e i g h t x // x125 lbs
h a i r x // xLux has short bleach blonde hair. More often than not, it is kept in natural, bordering on unruly waves. But even in their unkept style, it suites her personality and contrasts her soft features nicely.
e y e s x // xHer eyes seem to shift slightly depending on her mood and what she is wearing. They can be a bright brilliant blue or a pale icy grey, but always stay in the spectrum of blue to grey.
o d d i t i e s x // xBeing an orphan, Lux is covered with her fair share of scars. The most predominate is a 3in slash on her left wrist and another along her bottom lip. Other than that, she has one tattoo that she got in honor of her father, the only constant in her life.
a p p e a r a n c e x // xLux has doe eyes and plumps lips that accentuate her porcelain skin and baby doll like face. Freckles run along her cheeks and the bridge of her nose along with the tops of her shoulders. She has the appearance of the sweet girl next door but she is anything but that. She looks petite and fragile, but her small frame is entirely muscle. Although she looks like she could have been the prom queen, she contradicts that in every way beyond genetics. Lux is, without a doubt, a tomboy. She can count the number of times she's worn a dress on one hand. Her style is rugged and grungy. Almost every piece of clothing of hers is camo, a band T or ripped jeans. She doesn't wear anything that takes her longer than 5 minutes to put on. And her knowledge about makeup is the same as her knowledge about Chinese... nonexistent.

e n h a n c e d x p h y s i c a l x a b i l i t y x // x Lux's inheritance from her father was not the more well known foresight or musical ability. Instead in came in the form of her physicality.

P E R S O N A L I T A T E
xxxxxxxxxxxx⢠x sarcastic x ⢠x stubborn x ⢠x callous x ⢠x honest x â˘
Thickheaded-ness has come to her naturally from her years in the foster system, juvenile facilities and whatever else. Lux has needed to be strong to survive the harsh world. So, on that same level she has also become very stubborn. She does not give in to others easily, if at all. Itâs not necessarily that she thinks she is always right, but more along the lines to where she doesnât trust other peopleâs motives. She can be stubborn about what she thinks is right, opening up to others or even when it comes to some of her selfless tendencies too. Lux can be persuaded a different direction but that takes more effort than what people are willing to put forward.
Between Luxâs sarcasm and stubbornness, she comes off very distant. This isnât to say she is incapable of caring or anything along those lines, but sheâs built up a thick shell that she no longer knows how to remove. Her guard is constantly up and she is always preparing for the worst. She tends to distance herself from the crowd, especially those who have an off-putting air about them that is on the other end of the spectrum to what she is. Like many things about her, there are depths and layers to her. There are some who know her beyond the surface level, it just depends a lot on the determination of someone to get to know her.
With all of Luxâs not so perfect qualities, one thing she is, is honest. She is not one to tell a lie or avoid the truth. In her opinion, life is too short to pretend to be anything she isnât or to lie so that someone likes her. She doesnât care or want anyoneâs approval beside her fatherâs. So, she is truthful and honest. If people donât like her blunt and raw honesty, then they can go away.

Vanessaâs life seemed to be falling into place with the love of Apollo, her daughter and her music career finally seeming to take her places. Lux and her mother had a great bond, her father also making a point to be a major role in her life. Things were perfect in her eyes. That was until her 8th birthday. Her mother decided to âbreak the rulesâ and take Lux out exactly at midnight to get ice cream. Luxâs best memories were her momâs spontaneous adventures. On their way home, they were singing in the car to her motherâs favorite 80s songs when a drunk driver was making his way in their direction. Vanessa tried to swerve out of the way but the driver broad sided their car, sending it over the bridge into the river.
Apollo was able to save Lux in the crash but not her mother. Lux canât remember what happened or how she survived though, and has no idea it was her fatherâs doing. One minute she saw the river flooding in through the door jams and air vents, then the next thing she knew she was waking up in a hospital bed, her father in the chair beside her. Lux was distraught for days. She begged her father to the point of body convulsing tears for him to take her with him. Her sobs often times bringing tears to his own eyes. He couldnât take her with him, no matter how much he wanted to, but promised to always be there for her.
Lux has never resented her father for not being able to take her with him. Especially as she grew older and he told of his true identity. But, that didnât make her life any easier. Since the death of her mother she was constantly rotated from orphanage and foster home until they found her too difficult to handle. She was unruly, stubborn and constantly running away. By the age of 14 she had had her fair share of nights in juvenile facilities for breaking and entering and theft. Her crimes were never big, but more of a cry for attention. She was invisible unless she was in trouble. It was her way of cooping with everything that happened to her.
When she was 16, Lux reached her lowest point. Kicked out of every foster home and orphanage, she was left to fend for herself on the rough streets of the Bronx. Every day she sat on the corner of the street begging for whatever money she could get. The nights were worse. Men tried to put big bills in her hands in exchange for special favors down dark alleyways. She always refused. Lux was never desperate enough for that. One night, a man who had been harassing her every evening for over a week came to her, but this time wouldnât take no for an answer. He left her there, crumbled on the ground, clothes half torn off and cheeks stained with tears. A $100 bill thrown at her for her troubles.
Distraught with body racking fear and grief, Lux couldnât move herself from that place behind the dumpster in the alley. She had lost all desire to live, and was intent on bringing her struggles to an end. Apollo arrived just before she was able to slit her second wrist and took her to the Legacy Academy for Higher Learning. Although he never forgave himself for not being there, he always made sure to be ever present in her life. Since that night, Lux has looked forward to what life had to offer. She has looked at the Academy and the Agon as her chance to make something positive out of her life and finally turn it in a better direction.
