Luca Truelywaath | Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica | reserved 2/4leatptrapicaMay 6 2011, 04:28:00 UTC
Personality: For someone for whom the term 'dorodere' was invented for, Luca comes off as being cheerful and kind to those who don't know her too well, working as a Dive Therapist in Rakshek. The real Cloche Leythal Pastalia, and thus, the actual 33rd Maiden of Homura, Luca has gone through a lot in her life, which has caused her to become fairly messed up on the inside, something that Croix begins to discover as he Dives deeper into her Cosmosphere. For the most part, the kind and cheerful front is all that people see of Luca. She's well-liked around Rakshek, and popular among the residents of the town, due to her personality.
Luca's relationship with her mother, Reisha, is strained at best, due to the way Reisha began to act towards Luca in the years after Leyka, Luca's younger sister, was taken away by the Grand Bell. Although Reisha truly cares for Luca, and doesn't want Luca to be hurt should the Grand Bell ever come for her, Luca grows up believing Reisha hates her. As far as she's concerned, the day Leyka was taken away and Batz killed was the end of everything. This strained relationship causes Luca to barely acknowledge her mother on visits home, preferring to head straight to her room. This relationship is further strained by the knowledge that Luca is not Reisha's real daughter, but, rather, the daughter of the 32nd Maiden of Homura, Lady Arshe, who was killed in a coup when Luca was still young.
Despite the strain in the relationship, though, Luca doesn't necessarily truly hate Reisha, herself, as much as she finds herself conflicted over her feelings for her surrogate mother. This is reflected when Luca tells Croix that it's just too awkward to speak to Reisha at the moment. When Reisha dies saving Luca, though, she comes to terms with her feelings, and goes as far as to try saving Reisha from dying with her Song Magic, along with Chroche. When that fails, Luca breaks down, and admits to Reisha that she never hated her, and had always thought it was the other way around. She becomes despondent after Reisha's death, but resolves to continue onwards to creating Metafalica for her sake.
Inwardly, Luca has a lot of issues, ranging from her relationship with Croix, to her search for Leyka. Her relationship with Croix was initially just Luca using Croix to try to find Leyka, for one, and when she reveals this fact, they have a falling out which almost leads to them parting ways. Luca's initial impression of Lady Chroche is also far from positive, and Luca goes as far as to blame her for Leyka's death when she finds out her sister's possible fate from an IPD who had been moved into Leyka's room in the labs. Luca's Cosmosphere, as well as the Infelsphere in Luca's route, explores her inner feelings on these subjects, and what she really thinks of people, versus how she outwardly acts towards them. Her Cosmosphere is also dangerous; Croix is nearly killed on more than one occasion, as Luca doesn't wish for him to see her true feelings. Outwardly, however, Luca comes off as a people pleaser, who is kind and friendly to everyone, while bottling up her real feelings.
Luca is also a terrible cook, bordering on being a dangerous cook, though arguably, none of the Reyvateils in Ar Tonelico II can cook.
