Name- Lucia Ganrudo
Age- 16
Date of Birth- the 19th of June
Homelands- Lyonsgard, an ancient but thriving castle town known for raising and training highly skilled knights.
Race- Human
Class- Warrior
Final- Acier Royal
When Lucia uses this technique, a large amount of non-elemental energy forms around her blade, to the point that it almost appears to have doubled in size. Lucia then, with a powerful swing of her sword, launch this mass of energy at an opponent in a wave that moves in a straight line and splashes into opponents as though it were water. When taking a direct hit from this attack, it feels as though every inch of your body has been hammered by a sheet of solid steel. When Lucia wields two weapons, the attack is upgraded to the Acier Imperial, in which both swords are used. The only real difference is that the wave of energy that is unleashed is twice as large, making it even harder to avoid.

{Weapon information}
They are collectively named and referred to as Giant's Plume
Giant's Plume is actually a pair of greatswords, both identical to each other. The blades of the swords are white, about 3 and a half feet long and 4 inches wide, and have feather designs etched down the length of the blades. Overall, the blades themselves were designed to look like giant feathers, and even the cross guard and pommel have a feather-like design to them. Currently, she is only wielding one blade, but she fully intends to begin wielding both of them once she is skilled enough (i.e. she reaches level 25)
[enchantments]
They both have an enchantment that makes them light enough to be held in one hand, without compromising the strength or durability of the blade. This allows Lucia to wield them as though they were one-hand swords. Despite this, the size of the blades make them a bit unwieldy, and anyone without the proper training would have a difficult time effectively using them in battle. It's only natural to assume that Lucia has undergone such training, but even she has difficulty with it at times, often misjudging the distance between her opponent and her own reach, resulting in either her attacks missing completely or her being too close and leaving herself wide open for a counterattack.
{Armour Information}
A basic set of plate armor. It offers a decent protection, while still being light enough to keep from slowing her down. There is no helm, and the armor that would normally cover the right arm is gone; both presumably having been lost or destroyed in battle. Underneath it, she wears a short-sleeved tunic that stops just above her knees with a leather belt parting it at the waist. Under even that is a gray, form-fitting body suit.
[enchantments]
A basic enchantment that does little more than boost her running speed while she wears her armor.
{Accessory Information}
Wing Pendant
A pendant shaped like an angel's wing. It doesn't actually do anything, and is merely a good luck charm for Lucia.
{Physical Description}
She is fairly tall, around 5'9", with a slender, compactly muscular build. Her hair is blonde and rather long, reaching down to her rear, and is usually straight. She usually keeps it down, though she'll tie it up on rare occasions when she needs to clean up. Her eyes are brown and often reflect her fiery passion of fighting, as well as her strong sense of honor.
{Background}
Lucia was born the second child to Kazan and Alicia Ganrudo, and the younger sister to Cairn Ganrudo, who is older by three years. In her family, along with all other families in Lyonsgard, it is customary for children to begin training to become knights on the day they turn five. Every day, they train for ten hours, are given four hours to play with other children, then sleep for another ten hours. When they turn eight years old, after learning the basics of attacking and defending, they choose which type of weapon they wish to specialize in, and begin to train in using that type of weapon. Finally, at the age of thirteen, the town's blacksmith will forge them a weapon, customizing them to perfectly suit their abilities and preferences. It is then they they are left to their own devices, and may either continue to seek training within the village or travel the world and hone their skills on their own.
Lucia us one such warrior, and has had a passion for fighting since she could walk. More than anyone else, she looked up to her older brother Cairn, who was an especially accomplished fighter and the pride of her family. To this day, her main goal is to train and become stronger, so that, one day, she may duel against him. When the time came to choose her weapon, she chose the greatsword, since they were usually powerful. One thing that everyone found odd is that she would constantly attempt to swing hers around in one hand and/or try to use two at once, despite the fact that they were meant to be held in both hands. The village's blacksmith kept this in mind when it came time to forge her blades, giving them an enchantment that allowed her to do just what she always tried...hold her greatswords in one hand. Regardless, their size alone presented a few problems, but Lucia is constantly training and looking for ways to overcome them. Eventually, she learned about the Twilight Moon Academy and figured it would be the perfect place to hone her skills and test her limits.
Personality wise, she has always been energetic and very tomboyish, though this is no surprise when you consider her upbringing. She enjoys fighting with a passion and is always looking for a good challenge, but she will never start a fight for any reason other than sparring, and abhors meaningless bloodshed. She also detests anyone who uses "dishonorable" methods when fighting, such as purposely involving an innocent bystander or attacking a defenseless opponent. While she is serious about fighting and becoming stronger, she also has a playful and mischievous side. She is an open lesbian, and is rather shameless about hitting on other girls. Of course, if they showed any signs that her advances upsetting them (beyond initial flustering and/or confusion), she would back away, and she'd never purposely do anything to make them uncomfortable. When she isn't flirting with/teasing girls, she can be a perfect "gentleman", and she has something of a "knight in shining armor" complex...if she sees a girl who's in any kind of trouble or danger, she is compelled to help them, regardless of how far out of her way she has to go.
