.:Personality:.

{A Constant Lady} When Luciana walks down the street, she makes it blatantly obvious that she’s nobility for she carries herself with a regal air. She is extremely confident in her abilities but not overly. With political matters, she tries not to take anything too personal. Luciana tends to take the middle road to make everyone happy. Luciana is loyal to her friends and the kingdom of Camelot. She does not put a lot of stock in protocol and formality, and she just pretends she does for her parents' sake.

{The Other Side} At times Luciana will break from her noble act and be rebellious. She will act tomboyish and go riding on her black stallion still dressed in her finery. Luciana does not like to be told what to do because it makes her feels like a child. When she is bossed around, she does exactly what she was told not to do. Luciana doesn’t care what the consequences are of those actions for she believes that she can fix them later. She likes to show people that she can take care of herself. Luciana desires independence and hates being second to men.

{Just Put It Back Where You Found It} Luciana’s greatest pet peeve is clutter. We’re talking from one speck of dust on the floor to a room that looks like a tornado blew through it. Luciana just loathes disorder, thus she’s a neat freak. Whether it’s picking up after herself or cleaning up after others, if Luciana sees a mess she cleans it, and if she finds the one who made the mess she makes them clean it while she supervises them. Sometime the neat freak bit can get annoying, but cleanliness is next to Godliness.

{Now Mind Your Manners} Luciana is known for her courteousness towards others. She is never rude; at least she tries not to be. She believes that being rude is being weak. At times, Luciana will those she dislikes with cold civility. Luciana has a surprisingly long temper. She can hear a great deal of insults without becoming furiously irate. When Luciana does become angry, people know it. She doesn’t break her politeness, but she does go back to her room and throw a fit until she feels better. 


{Piece of My Mind} Being educated, Luciana thinks herself an intelligent woman. She is scholarly, being adept in history and the languages art. Complex arithmetic is one of her weaker points, but she has the basics down. Luciana never really cared for combat or militaristic strategy that much, and seeing her twin’s talent for them, she let it have a backseat on her priorities. Also Luciana is very opinionated and likes to voice her opinions. She is careful about how she words her opinions; often editing what was originally in her mind.

.:Occupation:. Noblewoman of Camelot

.:Current Location of Residence:. The House of le Cordier in Camelot City

.:History:.
It was on a fine day in spring in the city of Camelot when the House of le Cordier celebrated the birth of a son and heir as well a beautiful daughter. Now Lord and Lady le Cordier first named the boy, christening him Lucian. Alas the lord and lady were very unoriginal when it came to baby names, so they named their baby daughter Luciana. As babies, Luciana and Lucian were doted on by their nannies, the servants, and most of all their parents. Lord le Cordier was proud to have a son who he could raise to take over his title and maybe one day become a knight of Camelot, and Lady le Cordier was more than happy to have a daughter she could one dress like a princess. Oh yes, the youngest years of the le Cordier twins were most definitely the ones where they were the most spoiled.

When Lucian and Luciana were children, their parents hired a tutor for them, being the norm in most noble families. The tutor, Cassius, educated them in the fundamentals of reading, writing, arithmetic, and history. Both Lucian and Luciana did very well in their studies, giving their parents even more to boast about. It was when the twins reached their preteen years that Lord and Lady le Cordier noticed the individuality of their children. Lucian, who was growing into a strapping lad, had begun his training to be a knight, adding combat and tactics to his list of studies. Needless to say he enjoyed these subjects more than language arts and history, putting them on the back burning while he focused on his fighting skills. Unlike her twin, the blossoming Luciana excelled in reading, writing, and history. However she struggled with the more advanced mathematics, so she dropped it all together. Luciana felt knowing just basic arithmetic would be perfectly fine.

As years passed and her brother trained with her father, Luciana underwent a different kind of training from her mother. Until she was sixteen, Luciana was taught the art of being a courtier. She was trained in the social graces of etiquette, dancing, and even a bit of singing. Luciana also learned how to weave and embroider. She became quite skilled with a needle and a loom that soon she began creating tapestries and making her brother’s shirts.

After their sixteenth birthday, Lucian and Luciana went to the court of Uther Pendragon for the first time. Luciana had blossomed into an elegant young woman, while Lucian had turned into one of Camelot’s heartthrobs. Luciana was a success at court, much to her parents delight. Of course she was overjoyed, but she hid it, not wanting to seem proud. Of course her brother had to match her success by becoming a knight of Camelot, and unlike his sister, Lucian boasted of his achievement. Being the constant lady, Luciana climbed very high in the social circles of court, until one day she reached the top.

It was just another day at court, and Lord le Cordier asked Luciana to find her brother. Of course the task was not hard. Her brother was a knight, so he would be with the knights. Needless to say, the knights were not hard to find either; they were dressed in armor. Before she could beckon Lucian to come with her, her brother called her over to meet his new friends, and who should be among those friends but none other than Arthur Pendragon. Luciana was surprised to be introduced to the crown prince, but she hid it well with a demure smile and a curtsy. Soon after their first meeting, Luciana and Arthur became close friends.Her later teen years flew by in the whirl of King Uther’s court. Luciana became very popular at court, while her brother succeeded as a knight.

However towards her twentieth year, Luciana came down with a serious illness. At first it started off as an annoying cough, which she was given medicine for. Thinking it was nothing serious, Luciana continued to attend court and go on hunts with the prince and the knights. However it soon escalated to severe headaches, fever, and fainting. It was not long until Luciana was bedridden and quarantined at home. Cared for by servants and several doctors, Luciana’s heath did not worsen, but it did not get better. After three months of bed rest and consumption of the most disgusting medicine ever, Luciana slowly began to recover. Of course when she was healthy enough for visitors, Lucian was the first one through the door (it’s said that he shoved his parents out of the way.) Lucian took a leave of absence from service, much against Luciana’s approval, to help care to his sister. It only took Luciana one more month to fully recover, but she sent Lucian back to court before then. Now she looks forward to her first day back at King Uther’s court, eager to get back into the swing of things.
