Basic Information

[/b][/color] Luciana Maria Libitina
Age: Thirteen
Canon or OC?: Susan Kay's Phantom canon[/size]
[/ul]

Appearance

[/b][/color] Five foot Four
Body type: Petite yet curvy
Eye color: Reddish Brown
Wardrobe: Beautiful yet bland dresses due to the fact that Papa doesn't make much money. Though now at the manor, there are fancy dresses that she's always envied those other girls wearing at the Convent. Now she has some of her own. Her favorite colors as well. Purple, red and white. Sometimes Luciana wears blue because Papa loves that color.
General Appearance:
She truly has a face that will bring down empires surprisingly for her age. Luciana's piquant round face is blessed with intoxicating brown eyes with hints of red, looking somewhat like dried blood when upset. Not exactly the best why to describe them but it is the closest to it. Her cupid's bow lips are small and plump, perfect for a thirteen year old girl. Across her button nose rest a handful of light cinnamon freckles on her sun kissed skin.

Luciana's hair is thick and when running looks like a cloak of black silk being such a dark brown. Another thing that her sisters never got were curls in their hair, they envied hers since their own were straight as a needle. And like her hair, her body was thick despite her short stature. But praise God that she isn't fat like her sister Angela, she's still fit.

Personality

[/b][/color]
Unlike her three older sisters, Luciana was the most spoiled and got away with anything. Well, in Papa's eyes. Mama always saw how she truly how she was and the two always butted heads. Isabella is where the youngest Libitina got her temper from and she saw that with one look, she could fool her Papa to think that she had done nothing wrong. Luciana realized that with her looks, she could get people to do anything for her. What a thing to learn at such an age.

Looking out for herself or only caring about herself is what makes people not like her. But she is only young and doesn't know any better. A foolish teenage girl. Though Luciana does hold a fiery passion in her though with her temper, does not really work in her favor.

And poor thing.. Since she has seen Erik, her Papa's apprentice, she has fallen hopelessly in love with him. Telling her Father everything he says that he is sending her back to the Convent, that she would die if she is torn from Erik. Plus he seems to bring out the worst in her. She doesn't know how to express her feelings towards him, so she tortures him however she can. It infuriates her with him hiding behind that mask. Luciana truly wants to see his face, foolishly thinking that he is a handsome prince.

Dreams and Goals:

To see what he's hiding behind that mask. (Goal)

Strengths:
Tries to be helpful
Manipulative

The Past

[/b][/color]
Isabella Libitina - Mother (deceased)
Giovanni Libitina - Father
Three older sisters, all married off
Erik - Crush/works for Father

History:
Isabella and Giovanni had been married for a good number of years in beautiful Rome, she made him happy with baring three children for him. Three daughters for a Master Stone Mason. Sadly as they grew, they were plain and ungainly. Longing for a son with the fourth pregnancy, Giovanni was disappointed but hid it well as he looked down at his newborn daughter, Luciana. Whom had him enchanted with her pretty eyes and smile. She was a beautiful baby unlike her older sisters and was the most spoiled much to her mother's dismay.

Since her birth, Luciana has always been a handful with her selfish ways and wild tantrums. One time when she was three, Isabella couldn't take it anymore and locked her in the cellar. She screamed so loud that it was giving her sisters headaches causing one of them to leave and fetch Papa at one of his sites. Her screams were nearly bringing down the house and she was crying so much that she made herself sick since when he got home and opened the cellar, she was surrounded by urine and vomit. Isabella would try in vain to control her youngest daughter but Giovanni could never say no to her making things hard for her to keep the girl restrained. But Luciana could get away with murder if she saw fit.

The fights between the youngest Libitina and her Mama were never ending and Papa would always try to keep the peace. Soon the three oldest daughters managed to be married off much to the surprise of Luciana. She always said that they were was plain as sand and couldn't make a mule love them. Being the youngest had its downsides but she was the prettiest in the family so that was a major blessing. When she was nine was when Isabella succumbed to the severe anemia that was never as bad as it was before. Luciana was saddened by the death of her mama but it became worse when Papa sent her to a convent in Milan, finally doing what his wife said she needed. Harsh lessons by the hands of nuns.

The time Luciana has spent at the convent have been horrid in her eyes. The Nuns don't like her, the other girls despise her though when the Priests come around for Sunday mass, she does get a little happy because she can just toss them a smile and they will think she's an Angel. Keep in mind, these tricks only work on the younger Priests. But when the Summer comes, she is always glad since she gets to go home to visit with Papa. Though for Christmas, especially last year, he didn't let her return home. In her most recent letter, she begged him to let her this year now that she was thirteen.

June came around fast for her and Luciana was so excited that she couldn't wait to be home. Though she did have to stop by her sister Angela's house for a short period and she made that as unbearable as she could for her sibling's family. Just because she could. Then onward to the hot ride home once more only this time it was more enjoyable since she was actually reaching her home. When the carriage got there, Luciana ran out and hugged her unsuspecting Papa whom was walking out the house. It was a little early then what he was expecting her so, she told him that Sisters Elizabeth and Agnes had fallen with fever letting everyone leave early.

When Papa moved to the side, she was introduced to Erik his apprentice that has been with him for a year. He was French and wore a brilliant white mask that covered his whole face with a hypnotic voice that made her heart nearly stop. Luciana was instantly in love with him but she was extremely upset when he refused to touch her hand.

Anyway, she was in love with this mysterious boy that her Papa had taken in and wanted with all her heart for him to come out more but, he wouldn't. The stupid boy always stayed in that cursed cellar and was clueless to the fact that she would sit on the cold stairs of the cellar, listening to him play Papa's spinet. Just to be caught by her father, he told her then that he was going to see about sending her back. It was there that she begged him not to send her back to the Convent and that she would die if he sent her away and she would learn to keep house for him since she was old enough. She did have an idea in mind to lure him out. To make her a bench for the Garden up on the roof since she was planting more flowers. Like she was going to take care of them. Luciana was only doing this to get his attention.

So she fired Papa's housekeeper and took over everything. The Cleaning, the laundry and the cooking. One night, Erik didn't even come to eat her food and that made her very angry feeling like her cooking wasn't good enough for him. Like Papa thought, she was like a blind puppy in angry confusion when around the masked man. Luciana just knew that he was a handsome Prince, doing his best to stay hidden from a world that may recognize him.

One morning curiosity had gotten the better of her and she went down to the cellar to see what Erik was up to that made him too busy for her. All over the cellar that she grew to hate, there were inventions and her masked Prince caught her so she demanded to know how they worked and of course, she had to pick one up making him scared that she was going to drop it. In which in her rage when he refused to tell her anything, she broke it. Along with two more.

He left in a furious rage and as she came down from her own falling to the floor on her knees, Papa came down after hearing the screams and told her to go to her room but she didn't listen. Luciana couldn't believe what she just did, she could have just driven the only man she loved away for good. She sat there fingering the broken glass asking Papa why Erik couldn't love her as much as he loved his inventions. Why she not pretty enough? Why does he hate her so much? She was told that he hates himself and the mask is why.

Before he could go on anymore, Luciana stopped him that it wasn't true what the other said about Erik. About him actually being ugly under the mask. He wasn't some kind of monster. She won't let him be ugly. Then she ran upstairs to her room, staying in there for the remainder of the day. It was ten at night and still no sign of her masked man. Worried about him and going to see what he was hiding from her, Luciana got up from her bed to leave when all of a sudden her world had went black.

When she woke up, she was in a strange room in a Manor. Far from her Erik and Papa but, there was something odd about the house. It was filled with other men wearing masks like him. Maybe the reason why he didn't come home was because he may have vanished there? Oh time will tell.

RP Sample

"I won't let him be ugly!"

[/i]

Running past her papa, Luciana went to her room with unshed tears in her dark brown eyes only to truly let them fall when closing the door. "Papa's wrong, my masked prince can't be ugly underneath that mask. His voice is just too beautiful to belong to a monster."[/b] She said out loud, staggering over to her bed and sitting. There was silence in the room all for the sobbing breaths that Luciana was taking in and letting out. Looking down in her lap, she started to bite her lip thinking. And soon enough the tears dried. 'What is he hiding from me? Does he think I'm so stupid that I can't figure out what he's playing at?'[/i]

Letting out a soft laugh, she shook her head. "I'm smarter then he thinks."[/b] Then she formed a plan. When he returns to the house, demand that he take off his mask so she could look upon his face. Showing her how handsome he was, to prove that he wasn't a monster like the other men at the site liked to say. Just thinking about what he looked like made her swoon back, laying on her bed. 'Those mismatched eyes of his hidden underneath that thick black hair of his, full perfect lips for kissing. High cheekbones, flawless skin. Erik must be stunning.'[/i] Giggling to herself, Luciana twirled a curl around her fingers. She couldn't wait for him to come back.

Sadly.. he didn't. It was ten o'clock at night and he still wasn't home. And just like that, her anger flared burning away the giddiness she felt as she stood from her bed and made towards her door. She was going out to fetch him from the site but just as her fingers touched the doorknob. Everything went black.[/quote]

Hey there, Issi! This application is fantastic! You've done such a great job of making Luciana that it makes me want to reread Kay's novel! I think she'll be a great addition to the site, and I can't wait to see where you go with her as you develop her. It will be very interesting to see how she reacts to the different Eriks and how she finds out how ugly they ACTUALLY are (well... except Gerik over there in the corner... *pats Gerik's head*). I CALL DIBS FOR FIRST ERIK MEETING JK, JK... But seriously. Job well done.

Meg agrees, and had this to say:

It's a good application, with much better character development. I think that she can really expand with the character, and work well with it. I'm interested to see where she goes with it, especially if she can work well as the character and keep with it.

There is one issue, however, but it's a small one. You just have a couple of grammar problems. It's fine in the app, you can leave it as it is because I understood it well enough, it's just in your RP sample in a couple of sentences there lacks a subject or two.

These few sentences:

Then she formed a plan. When he returns to the house, demand that he take off his mask so she could look upon his face. Showing her how handsome he was, to prove that he wasn't a monster like the other men at the site liked to say.

... Could be also written as this:

Then she formed a plan. When he returned to the house, she would demand that he take of his mask so she could look upon his face. Showing her how handsome he was, it would prove that he wasn't a monster like the other men at the site liked to say.
