Appearance/Description
Lucy is black. Her hair is light brown with red-blonde highlights.<ref>" Lucy’s words were aggressive, and it was a stark contrast to how her hair bounced behind her head. It was combed close to her scalp with only a few kinky hairs escaping near the forehead and ears, and was held back with an elastic, where it formed an almost perfectly round afro-poofball behind her. Even though Lucy was black, her light brown hair had even lighter red-blonde highlights to it." - excerpt from Lost for Words 1.1 </ref> For unknown reasons, in Verona's memories and to the Sight her highlights are pink.<ref>Whenever Verona didn’t see her best friend for a few days, she somehow imagined her as having pink in her hair. No idea why, no rationale, but
it was something that had been consistent since kindergarten. - excerpt from Lost for Words 1.1</ref>
Her outfits include a new-looking red sweatshirt-dress worn with white and red sneakers decorated with maple leafs on the tongues (worn to look "nice".)<ref>Lucy was wearing what might have been a red sweatshirt dress with a stripe down the side, and her legs were bare from the knee down, her feet in red and white sneakers with little maple leafs on the tongues. It looked new, even though Verona knew the shoes weren’t.
“I wanted to dress nice.” - excerpt from Lost for Words 1.1 </ref>
In her practitioner garb, she wears a fox mask that was created for her by Avery, as well as a witch's hat and cloak.
Abilities and Art
In addition to the shared abilities and gear of the Kennet Trio, Lucy has her own distinctive Second Sight. She can see watercolour-esque "stains" and blades piercing things which seem to indicate danger, pain, negative emotions, or harm.
She's also been recieving one-on-one lessons in combat from Guilherme as his gift to her.
Tools
She generally keeps the ring which turns objects into weapons which Miss gave the trio, and often the elementally-charged lead John Stiles gave them to power it.
She has taken to using the trio's training in glamour to shrink down her magical gear into images which she can store in a locket.
History
