Powers and Abilities
Powers or Ability:
Fire Manipulation: Has the power to manipulate, shape, or intensify the shape, heat and strength of flames at will.
Thermal Resistance: Is able to withstand extreme levels of heat and cold without negative effect.
Extent of Powers or Abilities at normal range (i.e. without power enhancement or suppression due to Faidoux): Lucia can take any flame and manipulate it to her specifications. Though unable to produce the flames herself, even a small flick of a lighter or a match can become a deadly inferno in her hands. As such, she always carries a beautiful golden lighter gifted to her by her father; she is never seen without it on her person.
Once produced, she can direct the trajectory of the flames as well as their heat, and can also snuff them with little more than a snap of her fingers. She is quite adept with this skill, and with enough focus can even change the color or shape of and choreograph the movements of the flames to spectacular effect. However, such a gift comes at a price, and she has been well-taught that the repercussions of misusing it can be catastrophic. She must maintain a strong discipline over herself and her emotions at all time, suppressing much.
Her skin is resistant to any harm or damage caused by extreme heat, and similarly her affinity for flames makes her rather immune to cold as well. This, coupled with her self-restraint, has ensured that she exists in a state of dull tepidness both physically and mentally, never able to truly feel warmth or chill unless she goes to exceptional lengths to do so. In attempts to feel, she will typically forgo coats in the coldest winter temperatures (she's been known to go for long nighttime strolls during snow storms) and will take her baths at nothing less than boiling temperatures.
Extent of Powers or Abilities if powers are enhanced: If her Gift is enhanced, the heat of the flames touched by Lucia's powers intensifies significantly. Once under her control, they will burn hot enough to flare blue and can reach temperatures of up to 1500 degrees Celsius (double the temperature of typical flames). It's a magnificent, terrible thing to behold, however the link to such an unpredictable force of nature also plays havok on her mental state, causing her control over herself, and the fire, to weaken. This is a terrible combination
Inherent Limitations or Drawbacks of Abilities: For all of the benefits that come from wielding a powerful, primal element, there is one blaringly obvious downfall: those that play with fire often get burned. Excessive or careless use of her powers can have devastating and even deadly effects, so it is tantamount that Lucia maintain self-control at all times, especially when in general proximity to an open flame. In the cold mountain region of her home, this was nearly always.
Personality
Strengths: Protective: Lucia cares for very little in this world, but the things and people she does deem important are cared for with the fierce protectiveness of a lioness protecting her cubs. Her family in particular is especially dear to her, and threats against them or their empire are never taken lightly.
Cunning: She is Clove through and through, and as such is a masterful player at their games. She excels at social manipulation and always seems to know just where to strike to make something hurt. Her calculated schemes have been a huge asset for her and her family, and have made her an invaluable asset to their business.
Polished: Lucia is breathtaking. Like an intricately carved ice sculpture, she is immaculately kept and flawless, a physical manifestation of Clove supremacy in motion. Her manners and social awareness are similarly well-kept; Lucia is as keenly aware of her own movements as she is of those of the people around her, and is always sure to present her very best self.
Weaknesses: Malicious: Much like her Gifted element, Lucia is capable of harsh, unforgiving cruelty. She has little remorse or empathy for those outside of her chosen, exclusive circle, and has been known to bring those who've crossed her to their knees. There are no blows too low, no lines uncrossable - once she's decided to destroy you, she will do anything to bring it to fruition.
Vain: Being extremely preoccupied with appearances is a Clovenne trait, but even Lucia tends to take this to an extreme. She never passes a reflective surface without checking to ensure her perfection is still intact, and years of wealth and privilege have taught her well that she deserves nothing but the best.
Jealous: Lucia is not accustomed to not being the center of attention, and despises when that mantle is taken from her. With relationships she's much the same way, and if she's claimed you as her own she's not one to take kindly to having to share time or affection.
General: At first glance, Lucia seems a person far more suited for wielding ice over her Gifted element of fire. Years of self-control and careful suppression have granted her the pristine, nearly stoic countenance of a porcelain doll, but behind her impassive veneer there burns passion, temperament and cruelty as bright and fervent as any flame. Like so many of her schemes and social manipulations, much of what she thinks and feels is always kept below the surface and behind the scenes, and to many outsiders she plays the part of subservient Clove woman to perfection. However, the level of restraint needed to keep herself in check (above and beyond even what can be considered normal by Clovenne standards) can sometimes take a toll. Coupled with her immunity to properly feel things like heat or cold, Lucia can sometimes become stifled by her muted existence and will go to extremes to bring herself any kind of feeling - for example, taking naked walks during blizzards, setting her bathwater to boiling, or, in the event that she's feeling particularly bored, playing cat and mouse with some poor, unsuspecting person she's deemed amusing or worthy enough to warm her bed. In the event that she is unable to distract herself from the void-like emptiness of her own psyche, she's been known to lash out and have tantrums, most of which have ended with the parlor drapes caught ablaze. Beneath the glossy smile and fluttering lashes, Lucia is first and foremost a predator of the apex variety. She's an avid liar and a keen strategist, excelling at games like chess and fencing for that very reason. But beyond silly parlor games and sport, she uses these skills to also assist her beloved brother in his business ventures. Like a puppet-master, she is very good at making herself look inconspicuous; she can pull strings to make things happen even miles from her current location should she wish to. And to protect her family and loved ones, she would go to such measures and beyond if need be - she's fiercely loyal, and the small circle of her family are the exclusive few with whom she would dare to be vulnerable. As far as politics go, Lucia is an avid supporter of Clove supremecy; to say she thinks little of Aurelle as a country would be an understatement.

Brief Summary: - 1893: She and her twin brother are born to their parents, Nicolas and Cristine Adler. - 1899 (age 6): Lucia's powers manifest when she finds she can make shapes appear in the fireplace of her playroom. - 1900 (age 7): Lucia very nearly burns her bedroom down one night during a temper tantrum. - 1902 (age 9): Lucia's father, unbeknownst to his family, sires an illegitimate child with his mistress. Her mother is forced to take the child on and claim it as her own, and Lucia is devastated by the betrayal. She bears no love for the infant when it is moved into their home; a mysterious fire breaks out in Blair's infant nursery, though thankfully nothing but the drapes are harmed. Any suspicion of Lucia's involvement is never mentioned. - 1911 (age 18): Lucia's twin brother begins his apprenticeship with their father's company. While he has a knack for the social and numerical sides of things, the politics of running a business elude him. Surprisingly, his sister proves a valuable confidante and a cunning ally; with the two of them operating as one mind, he advances quickly. - 1913 (age 20): Against her wishes, Lucia is forced to start taking eligible suitors. She is bored by them to a man and disheartened by her prospects. - 1916 (age 23): Her brother, now the head of his own branch of their father's media empire, enters a merger with a rival company. The owner of this company is a recently-widowed man who is nearly the same age as her father. Regardless, Lucia appears to take a liking to him, and they're engaged within the year, merging their families' fortunes and their businesses in one fell swoop. 1917 (age 24): Lucia is wed to her husband and takes his last name. 1918 (age 25): Lucia's husband suffers a tragic heart attack at Lucia's twenty-fifth birthday party. Those in attendance can attest that Lucia looked positively grief-stricken, but those closest to her note that the candles on the cake did not so much as flicker when he hit the floor. 1926 (current): Widowed and still working in close collaboration with her brother, Lucia receives word from her father that Blair, her problematic half-sister, has written him concerning some troubles in Glynn. He asks Lucia to go and check on her.
