Lucretia ♪ Songstress of the Century

Image ref! That's a performance outfit, but she still doesn't really know how to not be fancy—here's some casual wear. Lucretia's tall, taller yet in heels, and has stupid long hair in a gradient from bluish-white to a richer blue with a detour through a green shade until it becomes yellow at the ends. She likes to wear jewelry, especially in gold, and feather accessories. She has a cute beauty mark under her bottom lip on the left side!

Here's a sample of her singing voice!

note to self write this better

"The Songstress of the Century," Lucretia is a highly-renowned performer who grew up as the star of her hometown choir even as a child. She's dedicated her entire life to music, her truest passion, but in the process, she's separated the image of the songstress from the true Lucretia. These days, she's starting to realize that, and she's afraid of losing her love for music if she continues letting the constant pressure of people's expectations dictate how she sings on stage and how she behaves off it.

She keeps up a warm, friendly persona very easily, acting much like a kindly big sister. She's always cheerful and enthusiastic. As you get to know her, though, she has a silly side, not always intentionally—sometimes that comes in the form of her delivering catastrophic news ("I am no longer a songstress!" "[gesturing the smoke filling up the kitchen following the literal pillar of fire she just conjured up to cook with] Meat must be boiled over a high flame so as to make it safe for consumption, yes?") with a big bright smile. She does like to make jokes, though, even though she doesn't initially seem the type; she picks fun at her own flaws, and will tease her friends over their own, not so much at their expense but in an attempt to get them to lighten the fuck up, Vixel.

She's completely incompetent when it comes to any kind of housework, and has set multiple fires in the process of basic cooking because she doesn't know how to exist in anything but extremes? Her whole life, attendants have waited on her, so she's never really had to learn.

Surprisingly, she's incredibly combat capable and eager to fight at that; she learned fighting as choreography for a role as a knight princess in an opera, and loved it so much that she took it on for real. She specializes in offensive magic, even able to weaponize her voice! Despite being pretty squishy, she knows how to hold her own if things get close-up and dire, buuut probably not for long. She absolutely loves to fight, though, and loves being able to be rough and tough without anyone judging or getting mad at her for it—she's lowkey constantly ready to throw down. If she has to whack someone with her magic staff then so be it.

Lucretia has a lot of confidence in her decisions and doesn't do much just out of whimsy, and holds fast to her choices. On the other hand, she's a little fragile, and takes people's perceptions of her and her own struggles to heart.

Backtagging — Absolutely fine and dandy!
Threadjacking — Please ask first so that I don't miss a notification.
Fourth walling — No thank you!

Physical affection — Totally fine! Please note that I'm not interested in smut, though.
Physical violence — Please contact me first for anything severe or a full-blown fight, because Lucretia can and will fight back, but she's a mage so she's honestly kind of squishy.

While I'm voicetesting, I'm not especially interested in shipping on memes, but please contact me if you want to work something out! As said before, no smut.

Lucretia is very versatile and bounces well off of all sorts of character types! She absolutely feels an inherent connection with other singers and the musically-inclined. She makes a good big sister/mentor figure for anyone feeling insecure, because she likes to help and take care of people and use her confidence for good, but especially musical performers. She's easily dragged into the shenanigans of silly, energetic characters. Being around people less tolerant of her shenanigans just makes her want to ramp them up, so if you want to endlessly frustrate a stern character (or bring out their silly side through sheer force of personality!), Lucretia's your girl.

In general, I'd love to play her in scenes where she gets to reach out and help out, whether it's with personal problems or an actual task (how useful she's going to be in the latter case is, um, debatable). It would also be fantastic to have the chance to show off her combat prowess, whether it's in a team-up situation or a chance to protect someone else, but PVP out of nowhere isn't usually my cup of tea. She takes nonhuman characters more or less in stride, given the "dragon" who owns the choir she's a part of, so I'm happy to play her off of any monsters!

Lucretia slots well into just about any standard fantasy/JRPG-adjacent setting. I prefer not to AU her, but love love looove jamjar scenarios of all kinds and settings, including futuristic ones!
