BOURBON, Luci

LUCIA ODETTE BOURBON

GENDER: female
AGE: seventeen
BIRTHDAY: 19 March
GRADE: junior (she repeated freshman year)
BIRTH COUNTRY: Réunion Island
NICKNAMES: Luci is her nickname; her full name is Lucia, but she never uses it. Ever.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: straight

EYES: Large bluish-violet orbs light up the rest of her face, having an roundish-oval shape.
HAIR: Long and red, reaching to just before the middle of her back. She has a side fringe and some of her hair is held up at the top of her head, on her right, and the rest is just left alone in two strips on either side of her face.
HEIGHT: five foot two
WEIGHT: one hundred and thirteen pounds
BMI: 20.7
BODY: Generally speaking, Luci has a rather small build. Standing at only five foot two, she's shorter than most everyone her age. Other than her bright red hair and her short height for someone her age, she really doesn't have anything all that special about her. She's quite tan most of the time, anyway, as a result of growing up on a tropical island of sorts.

LIKES: Luci loves fruits, especially strawberries and pineapple. She loves warm weather, beaches, and swimming, as that's what she's grown up with and is used to. She has a sweet tooth for sure, and loves sports and gymnastics.
DISLIKES: Luci hates anything to do with school, especially homework. She finds both boring, and boredom is another thing she doesn't like. Otherwise, Luci not only does not like vegetables, but will refuse to eat them no matter what. In addition, mostly because she is not used to it, she hates cold weather.
QUIRKS: She is always moving. Whether she's swinging her legs or tapping her feet if at a desk, or literally walking around or pacing, she never stops moving- she's very rambunctious like that.
HOBBIES: She loves any kind of outdoor activities, especially sports such as baseball or soccer. She is also a fan of martial arts and gymnastics, so yes, basically anything that involves moving, she would count as a hobby.
FEARS: Thunderstorms have always terrified her, and so have spiders.
SECRETS: Probably her fears. She hates to seem weak, and views any type of fear as a weakness, so any fears that she has, she tries to keep secret. Otherwise, she keeps the fact that she's a gymnast a secret. Again for the 'weakness'- she lets it be known that she is a martial artist (which is true), but does not speak a word to anyone about gymnastics. She is a tomboy, and doesn't want people to think she's girly because of being a gymnast.
STRENGTHS: Gymnastics, martial arts, and sports. Those are pretty much the only things she can do, actually.
WEAKNESSES: Oh dear. Well for starters, she has absolutely no sense of danger in the slightest. So basically, she's horribly reckless. In addition, she's horrible in all school subjects, but especially math and anything that has even the slightest similarity to it. It seems as though she breaks everything she touches, and can't seem to ever stand still. Luci has a horrid habit of always laughing in the worst of times, and if she's really not supposed to, that just makes it worse.
GENERAL/OTHER:
Though it is true that Luci has many negative traits, most falling under 'dangerous' or 'rambunctious', she is a remarkably kind person once you get to know her a bit better. She's a bit too friendly at times and is always running around causing trouble somewhere. The only time she's actually concentrating on something is when she's practicing either martial arts or gymnastics, one of the two being a secret to everyone but herself.

Luci loves animals, but is definitely more of a dog person than a cat person, generally speaking. She likes to spend time with other people, and is pretty accepting and nonjudgmental of everyone, the only exception being girls who are obviously girly (extremely so), who she'll avoid like the plague. In fact, pretty much anyone that wears the colour pink is entirely avoided by her in entirety.

Despite being quite the tomboy, Luci is a big fan of sunshine and rainbows and all that jazz. Translation: she really loves being happy and happy-looking things. Her favourite colour is yellow, like the sun, and she's amazingly cheerful toward everyone. Even so, she has an aggressive side which she keeps in check through extensive martial arts training. She has been training in martial arts and in gymnastics since she was very small (probably about three or four years old).

Luci may be accepting as a person, but she is also very harsh about what she calls 'weaknesses'. Not in other people, though- rather, in herself. She hates being weak in any way, shape, or form, and will go out of her way to prove herself to people. She seems to be very dependent on others in this way, even though she acts as though she has quite a bit of self esteem, confidence, and independence (the second of that list is mostly true, or at least, she'd like to think it true).

The one thing that you never, ever want to do to Luci is make fun of her height. She's quite aware that she's small and she doesn't need any reminders. She likes to think she's strong anyway, and she is as far as martial arts goes. However, when it comes to brute strength, she has none, and so if she isn't careful, she could be easily overpowered. Add that to the list of things she'll never admit about herself.

Luci's an airhead. Everyone around her knows it. She's not a complete airhead, of course- she's not stupid, really, but she's very oblivious to most things, and definitely isn't book smart in the slightest. She has a very easygoing personality and is easily roped into things and convinced of things. It sometimes makes others feel as though they need to watch out for her, which, of course, annoys her to no end if she figures it out, because she immediately associates it to her appearance (height) and not to what it actually boils down to, which is her actions.

Luci's wild, coming from a tiny island that's not really near any type of real civilization. Sure, it's a civilization in its own, and there's another inhabited island nearby that's somewhat larger, but it's still an island in the middle of nowhere (quite near Madagascar, though, which makes it look even smaller than it already is). That should give one enough insight into who she is- the location, that is. Coming from a world where everything was as carefree as she is, this whole school thing is still a bit new for her, but she's adapting not really.
