What kind of clothes does your character wear when she's not in uniform?
Flannels, t-shirts, and skinny jeans make up most of her wardrobe, along with the occasional dress shirt and tie. High top converse are her shoes of choice. She’s almost always seen with a chain hanging from her belt, and is almost never seen in anything even remotely girly (except when she’s in uniform...though, after spotting a few other students on campus with a more masculine alternative, she hopes to change that soon). She also wears a military style dog tag (with the name ‘Luciano’ engraved in it) around her neck, and several rings on her fingers.
What Clubs is your character involved in?
Cooking Club: Yes
Theater Club: Yes
The Astraea Host Club (Rose Garden) : Yes
Is your character on the Student Council? -No
If yes, what does your character think of the student council president, Naomi Shizuoka? Please answer this because if your character is on the student council, then she would know who Naomi is and would have an opinion of her.
Please explain your character's personality in 200 words or more:
Lucia (pronounced Lu-chi-ah), who adamantly insists upon being called ‘Luciano’ (pronounced Lu-chi-ah-no), is outgoing, kind hearted, loyal and intuitive. She’s sort of like a classic big sister figure (though in her case, I suppose ‘big brother’ would be a more accurate fit). She loves to give advice when she can, and she’s always willing to give someone a shoulder to cry on, even if she’s never met the person. She’s very sweet to everyone around her, even those who treat her poorly. But make no mistake: when it comes to her loved ones, she’s no pushover. God help you if you ever make someone cry in front of her, especially if it’s someone she cares for. She’s extremely protective, to the point of being a little possessive at times. She’s also very insecure, which often leads to jealousy issues within friendships and romantic relationships alike. Her looks often put people off, making her seem unapproachable, but in all reality, she’s nothing but a giant teddy bear. Luciano is practically obsessed with becoming the perfect gentleman (yes...gentleman), which results in a very chivalrous personality. She can often be caught referring to people as ‘milady’ (or m’lady), and doing everything she can to please them. This may be a combined result of her days as a servant and her desires to be male, the latter of which she is surprisingly open about. She treats everyone she meets as if they were royalty, which, for obvious reasons, is not always a good thing. She is fluent in English, Italian, and Japanese, and alternates between the three occasionally (though she is known for typically using Italian when she’s trying to be romantic).
What does your character think of the Etoile position as a whole?
She absolutely loves the idea, though she doesn’t approve of people entering the competition for the wrong reasons.
Does your character want to be an Etoile someday?
Yes and no. She would love to fall in love with someone and run side by side with her, but she doesn’t think the position would be very fitting for someone like her.
What does your character think of Shizuka Myuzu and Chokone Manatsu, the current etoiles? Luciano admires Shizuka, for both her inner and outer beauty. She thinks Chokone is one of the cutest girls she’s ever seen, and envies Shizuka for having her.
What does your character think of the other schools? She is fairly indifferent to the other schools. In her mind, they’re all part of one big school. As far as she’s concerned, the only difference is the uniforms.
~History~
Please write in 100 words or more your character's history before she came to Lulim. Luciano Torre (whose real name is Lucia, though she never introduces herself as such) was born in a small town in Italy. Her family worked as the live-in staff of a very wealthy woman, so she was essentially born into a life of servitude. Her parents were overjoyed to have another little girl in their lives (in addition to the three they already had), though they had really been hoping for a boy. But there was one little problem...Lucia was not really a girl. You see, Lucia was born with intersex deformities, which resulted in her parents having to make a very difficult decision regarding the sex of their child. Their longing for a boy was clear, but with some persuasion from the doctor (who repeatedly reminded them that corrective surgery for female genetalia was much less complex), their decision was made. Lucia underwent the surgery as an infant (thanks to a generous donation by her family’s employer), and was raised as a female. But she never felt right being a girl, and her parents knew that very well. It quickly became obvious that Lucia was, in fact, a male, who was now trapped in a female body. Despite this discovery, however, they continued raising her as if she were a true female. Her parents were in denial, not wanting to face the guilt associated with their part in their should-be son’s predicament. Lucia was absolutely miserable, which pained her sisters (Mia, Bella, and Angela) greatly. They loved and accepted her for who she really was, and soon made it their mission to make sure their parents would too. Mia and Angela, the oldest of the three, sat down with their parents and tried to reason with them. Bella provided most of Lucia’s emotional support. But in the end, their parents prevailed. It was clear they could not be reasoned with. In fact, talking about it only made their denial worse. Things took an even bigger turn for the worse when Lucia’s father accepted a job in Japan (her mother’s native country). While getting things together for the move, his soon-to-be former employer happened upon an advertisement for an all-girls boarding school near the area they would be living in. She knew of Lucia’s struggles, but her sympathy was with her parents. She showed the advertisements to Lucia’s parents, and, much to the anger of Lucia and her sisters, convinced them to send her there as soon as they got settled...Which is exactly what they did. And so began Luciano’s journey as a boy trapped in a girl’s world.

Sample Post:
Luciano stared blankly at the tattered photo in her hand. The smiling faces of her parents seemed to taunt her, their stares burning holes in her heart. Warm tears spilled from her deep golden orbs, dripping softly onto the picture’s glossy surface. How could something like this have happened? She crushed the photo in her trembling hand, tossing it angrily to the rain-soaked ground. Seething, she swung her duffel bag over her shoulder and trudged on. It was funny how walking through the forest, which had once been her favorite pastime, now seemed like an endless journey through the depths of Hell. Thunder rumbled lightly in the distance as sparse bursts of lightning lit up the sky. The thick blanket of charcoal grey clouds made the world seem dark. And in the eyes of the distraught teen, that’s exactly what the world was. Dark. Empty. Colorless. Cruel.
Countless girls passed by, most of them wearing smiles that made Luciano want to vomit. It took everything she had not to scream in frustration. She was in no mood for smiling faces. Why should she put up with their smiles when she couldn’t even form her own? Happiness was a foreign word to her. It had been that way her entire life. Every day, she had spent her time caring for the needs of others. The little time she had to herself was more than often spent crying on her sister’s shoulder. She hated her life. She hated being this way. And most of all, she hated her parents for making her be this way. ‘I shouldn’t be here… I’m not like them… I’ll never be like them…’ The silverette gritted her teeth, her fists clenching. ‘I am not a girl…’

Emiko Nekokuran here <3...with character number 11...I told you I had a problem. XD But yeah...in all seriousness, Luciano's only here because I threw out some of my tentative character additions and had sudden inspiration to make a new one. She's also kind of a dedication to a dear friend of mine. So...yeah. Sorry for the barrage of characters!~ >.<
