I.██ Lucienne would be nothing without her daring attitude and actions. She'd lived without such a personality trait for too long in her vampire life- always having been a little submissive, always being told what do and following it without putting up too much of a fight. Fear and uncertainty was just something that had held her back for too long. Once she decided to stop living in such fear, to stop taking people's shit, life became a whole lot easier to handle, even if it became more complicated in other aspects. Luci doesn't have many reservations. She's adventurous and bold, doing what she wants if she thinks it's right. Some take her daringness as plain recklessness, other stupid bravery; it is what ii is.

II.██ Many people tend to quickly note Luci’s fiery personality. She is rather passionate and has a short fuse at times. She get’s in a lot of arguments and never really lets up. If she feels someone is doing her or her loved one’s wrong or is manipulating them, then she has no issue speaking up for what she believes in. She’s always got that spark.

III.██ Luci has always been particularly hard to persuade to do things she necessarily would rather not do. She’s had so much drastic change in her life that she likes things to stay as is, and her opinions are no exception. She is very stubborn and will stick true to her stance. To those who are used to getting what they want and having their demands met, Letha easily frustrates them and tests their patience.

IV.██ Once someone gains Luci’s friendship, she will be the most loyal friend they’d ever have. Letha easily would risk her own life to benefit and help others. She’s protective and loving, never allowing the chance for harm to befall her loved ones.

V.██ Most are quick to notice Lucienne's sarcasm, but it's her quick and unfiltered humour that truly makes her a witty person. She loves to crack jokes at the expense of those she doesn't like, and will be ruthless in doing so considering she bluntly states her mind.

VI.██ Lucienne tends to not want to rely on others. For half her life, she was essentially ordered around to the point where when she broke free from that and truly gained her own free-will, she never wanted to give it back. If it's in her power, she will do it. She is most definitely and independent person, almost to a fault.

VII.██ With being such a passionate person, of course Luci would be someone who would hold a grudge for a very long time, becoming entirely resentful[/b] to those who have done her very wrong, or have done her friends wrong. She doesn't exactly believe in the idea of second chances, that's for damn sure. As she likes to say, "Fool me once, shame of me and go fuck yourself."

[xxPatientxx] ―xxThis trait is surprising to some, but Lucienne really has all the patience in the world. The only thing she's impatient too is impatient people.
[xxLoyalxx] ―xxLuci is a very good friend an ally to have, considering she'll be loyal to the end. Of course if you cross her, that's another story. She does absolutely anything for her friends and loved ones -- always has.
[xxIntelligentxx] ―xxA pass time Lucienne has always had was reading non-fiction novels and accumulating facts as she went. She's very intelligent.

██
[xxBluntxx] ―xxLuci has no filter what-so-ever. She speaks her mind and tells the truth. She doesn't have the time do deal with lying.
[xxUnforgivingxx] ―xxConsidering she had one pretty nasty relationship, she has a hard time forgiving those who've done her or her friends wrong.
[xxCynicalxx] ―xxShe has a firm belief she has a right to be.

██
[xxFuriously yells in Frenchxx] ―xx One things for damn sure, Luci isn't as mad as she can be until her rage makes her forget English and all that comes out of her mouth is French.
[xxAlways sits cross-leggedxx] ―xxEven if it's on a tiny chair, Luci will always bring her legs up to sit cross-legged. There's really no reason for it, she just finds it comfier.
[xxHums/Singsxx] ―xxWhen bored or nervous, she will hum and sing under her breath. They're almost always old French songs her mother sang to her as a kid.

Lucienne was born in a small village, Èze, France, on the first of May, 1962 to a large Roman-Catholic family. Her Mother Elisabeth was a school teacher and her Father Vincent was a struggling artist who was in it completely for his passion. Lucienne had six siblings, making the family count a total of nine people. She had two elder brothers, Gabriel who was three years her senior and Yves who was one year older. Under Lucienne, there were the twin girls Gisele and Brigitte. They were one year younger than Luci. Then there was Colette, who was three years younger than Luci, and finally the baby of the family Henri. He was five years younger than Lucienne.

By no means was the Riviere family a wealthy one. They could barley afford their shack of a three-bedroom bungalow, which forced all the girls to share a single room and all the boys to share one amongst themselves as well. There mother’s work was basically all they had in income. Of course, as the boys grew older they found jobs and were able to chip in a lot more. Her father felt terrible that his paintings barley provided anything into the family income, but the whole family supported his love for painting and would have been furious if he had given it up to do a job he hated. Her father passed down his affinity to art to Lucienne and her brother Yves, who she was most close to out of all her siblings.

Lucienne was a very intelligent girl, always at the top of her class. When it came time to figure out what she wanted to do, she decided to go into nursing school. She would have preferred to have gone to medical school to become a doctor, but it was harder being taken seriously as a female in that industry and nursing school was cheaper and quicker. The sooner she got a job, the sooner she could send money to her family and help. She completed her first year of nursing school in France, but when she turned twenty she decided to make the move to America as the schooling was cheaper and there were more job opportunities there in the big city. Luci graduated at 23, and almost immediate got a job as an Emergency Room Nurse in the cities general hospital. Half her pay checks always were sent back to her family.

At this point in time, Lucienne wished she’d never gone to America. If she never had gone, then she wouldn’t have met Endymion when he’d come into the ER completely knocked out. She was the unlucky one assigned to examine him, and when she did, it was clear that something was not quite adding up in the human department. When she found out what he was, she never told anyone. To this day, she doesn’t exactly know why. She’ll say there was no point because no one would believe her, or that if she did she was sure some vampire would come and snap her neck for knowing, but she knows those aren’t true at all.

As time went by, sure enough, Lucienne fell in love with the bastard, so much so that she decided to give up her mortality and dreams fro the stupid romantic gesture of “eternity”. That eternity barley even lasted a couple of seconds before he left her, alone, not knowing how to fend for herself. She ended up coming across a coven in the Brooklyn New Work district, and since she was in need of serious help, she joined them without thinking much of it. For about a year or so, she laid low, doing whatever tasks the coven leader assigned her to do; it was mostly small scare tactic stuff for human’s who found them out. But then came along her power. Apparently, her strength and rare power were something of extreme interest, and soon enough her jobs grew bigger and bigger until she was used and abused in whatever way the ysaw fit to their benefit. She killed, she stole, she was fought over by other covens. She was abused and Luci hated having no free will. She became reclusive and even more bitter than she was before. She didn’t want to make connections, she had no friends. Well – she had an “annoying acquaintance” as she put it. Charlie had been in the Brooklyn coven a while before she had. He’d always been their best fighter, having the power of super strength, which already on top of his vampire strength was quite something. When he plucked a tree from the earth to toss it at a vampire, it was an impressive thing to see. Their coven master often just paired them up for fights, and since then they sort of clung to one another. S much so that after seventeen years of being in the same coven, when Luci decided to break free and become rogue, he willingly tagged along despite Luci telling him no a thousand times.

Luci and Charlie tried to keep as low of a profile they could, but she couldn’t run away from her past forever, Eventually ,ten years later to be exact, someone found her out to be the rumoured rogue feeder, and soon enough she was asked to come join the Head Master Vampires Council.
