She shines, gloriously warm like the light she is called after. Lux was prepared for her embrace in a wayfew are. When she wakes at night, it is exactly as she was at her moment of death - in the full prime of her youth, in peak physical condition, her nails long and filed to points, her warm, dark skin and long thick, black curly hair impeccably groomed to suit her for the nights that would come.
She's on the taller side for women in that era - 5 feet 7 inches (170cm). She has a curvy body type, solidly built like a stallion, as one might expect from a mix of Aragonese and African ancestry. Her shoulders are broad and strong, as are her hips. Her chest is strong and prominent, and her waist dips into a sleek curve, giving her an hourglass figure. Her arms and legs are both well muscled from years of balanced physical training; any injuries she may have sustained during training were healed with her ghoulish vitality. The only marks of her training come in the form of callouses on her hands and feet, and in some guises are the only sign besides her muscular body of the harsh training she endured.
Her face is shaped like an oval, with wide brown eyes that in certain lights pale to the color of old gold coins, under a straight, wide brow with arched, thick eyebrows. Her nose is broad, flat, and button shaped. Her smile is warm and generous, with full, broad, thick lips in a cupid's bow shape. Her cheekbones are prominent and high, with a slight curved hollow beneath them. Her jaw is strong and square, with a soft roundness at the chin. Her ears are soft and crescent shaped, and sit at a comfortable midpoint to her head. Her neck is strong but graceful.
In styling she has a variety of looks. When she roosts at the Lucerne Rossa, she is often garbed in darlingly revealing gowns that are cut low and tight to reveal her assets, in gauzy colorful fabrics that offer tantalizing views of her skin. When she attends court, she favors more modest gowns of red, black, or gold as a nod to her Clan, but are still easy to move in. When she is in giovanni territory she prefers to wear blacks with accents of red and gold, in modest cuts and sturdier fabrics, but tighter fits to accent her form. When she roams around the city on business, she favors styles that are common to Venice depending on season. If she's out looking for a fight, she'll either wear fitted trousers and a coat cut to show off her feminine form, or sleek leathers and short battle skirts for protection and ease of movements. Her footwear varies depending on her activity, from impractical but beautiful shoes for court, to well worn leather boots for roaming around town, to just being barefoot to feel the stones beneath her feet.
Lux usually has a smile on her face - though that smile can be sharp or genuine on her mood; and a light in her eyes, which can be hot or bright depending on her temper. Though usually she has an air of perpetual amusement, she's happiest when she's in the midst of some sort of chaos, so she's always on the look out for troublemakers. Her temper when roused, is terrible, and her fury is enough to shake the heavens. Her joy is just as fervent and infectious, so its lucky that her good moods outnumber the bad.
She is a musician, a magician, a card shark, a pick pocket, a gambler, a juggler, an acrobat, and an athlete. She's a woman of constant motion, never still and always busy with her hands. She's fluent in several languages, though she has a tendency towards regional accents - her French and Spanish are from the mediterranean coasts, her English is distinctly northern, her Norwegian has the lilting musicality of the mountainous fjords, and her Greek has a distinctly hebraic tinge. She's quick handed, a smooth talker, and surprisingly good at mathematics for someone who disdains academic pursuits and finds fault with book-kissers.
