⏵ character information
name: Lune
canon: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
age: 32
canon point: End of Act 2
history: Wiki entry
abilities:
—Elemental mage: A wikilist of all her skills. Lune uses "magic" via manipulating an in-world resource called Chroma, which is the equivalent of mana and the basic building block of the in-game painted world. All Lumièrans have an innate amount of chroma to them that they can use. Lune has had additional chroma directly grafted onto her skin (both legs and left arm/shoulder) as Pictos tattoos to increase her so-called mana pool and abilities. Pictos are specific skills or abilities that cannot be utilized without having the Pictos active on one's body. Lune's repertoire includes several fire, ice, lightning, light and earth based abilities she utilizes in battle. While most of these abilities are damage-dealing ones, she also has a few healing and revitalization skills. She also floats/flies/levitates. While she's a ranged combatant and support unit first and foremost, she also has some melee skills like roundhouse kicks and such for simple attacks— even if those are still "magic" as they are suffused with elemental power.
—Scholar/researcher: She's a prominent academic daughter of two very prominent Lumièran scholars. Since age four, she's studied and researched the Expedition history, the Paintress and the Gommage as well as Pictos, Chroma and the manipulation and application of them– her knowledge of Chroma helped Gustave construct the Lumina Converter. She's capable of detecting or sensing Chroma in the environment and the changes in it. She also triangulates the previously unknown landing site of Expedition Zero from Lumière archives, which is what E33 uses when they travel to the continent.
—Musician: she's a gifted guitarist and composes her own music sometimes.
personality:
Lune is the product of intense familial expectations, responsibility and duty, her entire life from early childhood onward built on first assisting with and later continuing her parents' work to the exclusion of almost everything else in her life. The youngest of three children born to a pair of prominent researchers, Lune is the only one pigeonholed into being a research assistant to her parents and raised into a role she never chooses for herself, shouldering the heavy responsibility of figuring out who and what the Paintress is and how to stop the Gommage once and for all to save Lumière. She's close with both her siblings when they are younger, but it's implied that possibly due to Lune's role in her parents' work consuming her time, they grow less so over the passing years.
This hard upbringing with such a singular purpose made Lune into a woman who relies on facts and logic to make sense of the world, problem-solving and practicality to cope, and achieving results as means to measure self-worth. She struggles with this conflict about herself; though she finds genuine joy and contentment in discovery and is a passionate researcher, she also questions whether her worth is dependent on the results of her efforts, and whether her parents only ever saw her as a back-up plan to their own legacy instead of as their daughter. She drives herself hard because her parents drilled into her head from early on that there are no points for effort, only results. Anything less simply isn't good enough. And she blames herself harder than anyone else could if she fails to accomplish said results.
"Lune is intent and obsessive", Verso says in a conversation, and he isn't wrong. Her passion for learning and discovery gets mixed up with her almost obsessive need to solve puzzles and answer questions, in turn infringing on healthier habits such as proper sleep or nourishment. Her level of preparation can border on compulsive– her contingency plans have contingency plans. She copes with the enormity of Gustave's death by launching into frantic planning on what needs to be done to lay the trail for the next Expedition, that being the only thing she can control in a situation spiraling out of control.
Even though circumstances predetermined her role as an academic and her personality is that of an Type A overachiever, Lune also displays an unquenchable, spontaneous and sometimes almost childlike interest toward the world. She's beside herself with joy and curiosity when she meets the Gestral Noco on the main continent, a creature Lumièrans have only ever read about in fairy tales. She bombards Verso with questions about the Fracture that he'd personally lived through, about the previous Expeditions he'd met. When they meet the Curator for the first time, initially an imposing figure, she's too preoccupied puzzling over the Chroma surrounding him to be alarmed for too long. She's often advising alternative approaches that aren't killing everything on sight while the Expedition makes their way through the continent– her first impulse is to understand, not destroy. But she will destroy if anything threatens her or her friends.
Lune isn't always the easiest person to get along with. She can be reserved, blunt and unyielding, holding herself and others to (too) high standards at times. She can have a temper and turn confrontational, sometimes physically, if she feels slighted or betrayed. She rarely initiates physical contact otherwise, her body language often turned inward, restrained. If she does touch another, it's usually a hand to someone's arm or shoulder. However, those who gain her trust and break through her barriers find her a fiercely loyal friend who cares deeply about them and the surrounding world. She does loosen up among those she trusts, displaying a more open and even at times playful demeanor. She appreciates honesty, determination and intelligence in others; largely the same traits that define her, too.
Etraya will throw her for a loop for a while: but as long as she's standing, she isn't giving up, and she won't let anyone else give up, either.
