Personality: Gentle, diplomatic, thoughtful and polite. Lucya is an ideal member of a marine research team, as it requires both thoughtful care for the many endangered species she deals with, and the ability to deal with humans encroaching on this territory. She speaks with an even, quiet tone most of the time, but since she does live and work in the water and coastline, sometimes she has been known to shriek or shout with force to attract attention (often using a bird-like call).

Occupation: Scholar, she's spent most of her life on the shore and enjoys documenting all she sees, as well as bearing a fierce dedication to the preservation of these beautiful and sometimes scarce animals. She has benefitted greatly from the Tryptich connection she has, having been to the Purple Lake Ataga'hi but not remaining since it was much too far inland for her tastes. However, they did introduce her to the dragons... And discovered exactly the right place to send her to find one of her own!

(( from hatching ))

The nekrat clutch had been laid in sandy shallows, and one little hatchling hadn't gone far once she broke free of her shell. The pale yellow sand made the tremendous effort to pull herself onto the beach and bask in the warmth of artificial sunlight, waiting for her bond to arrive.

Lucya wasn't much quicker - in her turtle form she'd made her rounds about the surface of the water without any luck in attracting a hatchling. She shifted back to a humanoid form just as she reached the shore, nearly stumbling over the nekrat kitten who blended seamlessly with the beach.

:: You didn't have to go through all that effort looking for me :: said the kitten. :: Your Binamata was right here all along. ::
