Weapons:
==== Lucia tends to stay away from the killing of livestock and other things that could possibly help her advance in the Games due to her disgust with blood, but she is very good with farming, so anything that could help her with plants or the cultivation of the earth could help her succeed in staying alive for prolonged periods of time if starvation is a major threat. She is also rather trained with the distribution of poison due to being taught how to use pesticides to keep bugs or scavengers away from certain crops, so if she gets her hands on a pesticide or poison that can kill a human if used correctly, she can climb up in the Games rather easily. She relies more on her intellect and creativity than physical prowess, but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t a threat. ====

Personality:
Lucia has always been a bit of a social recluse. It takes time for her to open up to others and gain their trust but, once she begins to confide in them, she's never going to stop. The girl is quiet but only in volume. She's a natural storyteller and loves having an audience.

Although she's very insecure and doubtful that others percieve her as "nice" or "likeable," she still attempts to get to know people and gain their friendship for no other reason than longing the company of others. She's very lonely and has always dreamed of having close people in her life, although she doesn't seem to have anyone who stays around for long. It's hard to tell whether this is because she pushes people away when she starts feeling insecure and believes they don't like being around her or if people just geniunely don't like her.

She's a hopeless romantic, mainly because of the fact that she dreams of people being close to her. In stories and in books, it seems that the protagonist's life turns around the second that they fall in love. So, Lucia has always fantasized about the thought of someone coming into her life and brightening up the darkest corners of her personality. But this is a rather dangerous mindset to be in, as she could easily fall into an abusive relationship and not want to get out simply because she believes that it'll all be fine in the end.

Lucia has her ups and her downs. When she's happy, she's on top of the world. Finding her in this state is like finding a diamond lying on the side of the road. You'll just recieve smiles and laughter. But, when she's in a more depressive mindset, she grows even more quiet and loses herself in her thoughts. She typically slips into this state at night and her anxiety creeps in. She mainly worries about how others think about her and begins to doubt if anyone would even care if she died. She also blames herself for her family's problems. Throughout the years, she's harmed herself and even attempted suicide when her thoughts grew dark enough. This may be another reason why people seem to leave - she seeks the help of others, then pushes them away when she believes that she's only being a burden.

She's constantly trying to improve herself to fit others' standards, but she hates change, so that kind of makes her a walking contradiction. She's become better in some aspects, but she's still at the same point in her life that she began at. Maybe it would be better if she just tried to focus on her positive traits as opposed to changing bother her negative and positive ones... Well, it doesn't matter. She's stubborn and probably won't change her mind.

Lucia is intelligent and creative. She loves anything and everything that has to do with the arts, although she hasn't had time to work on any talents due to the work she has to do in her District. She has potential, though, and a rather pretty singing voice. She's always excelled in academics and found certain subjects that others find difficult, like math, rather simple if you just look at them differently. She's always searching for the easier - but still effective - way to do things and is a very good problem solver.

In the long run, Lucia May is just a girl growing up and trying to find herself in a crowd of people.
