[long_live_the_queen]

CHARACTER: Kaede
CANON: Elfen Lied


AU NAME: Lucy Takada She's going to lose her shit when she remembers the significance of that last name, it'll be fun.
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: High school dropout, probably works a bunch of temp jobs
BLURB:

• She was born to Japanese-American parents in San Francisco, but was surrendered at birth for ??? reasons I haven't decided. Her birth father probably ditched, her mom evaporated, and she has no idea who either of them are and at the moment doesn't care to find out.


• Either placed in a failing children's home where she snapped and beat her bullies' faces in or placed in a string of unsuitable foster homes. I'm undecided on whether to keep or cut out the orphanage but violence is a universal constant with Lucy. She's an angry child.


• Most likely got herself in trouble with the law a lot; truancy, trespassing, assaults, batteries, broken windows, shoplifting, jaywalking, general Bad Behavior etc. She's most likely been incarcerated at some point for minor offenses but obviously not to the degree she was in canon. Police characters or people involved with that sort of thing might have had her case file come across their desk, particularly if they were in the state of California a few years ago.


• The first and only thing her last foster family did for her was get her a train ticket to Recollé when she turned 18, and she hasn't looked back since. She's trying to petition to get her juvenile record expunged and has a distant idea of getting a GED and attending a trade school. Being shut out for the last time kind of scared her.


• Her hair and eyes are naturally brown, but she dyes her hair pink and wears ~edgy~ contacts to signify to herself that she's started a new life. Or trying to.
  
  And she obviously doesn't have horns, that'd be weird.

LOOKING FOR:

• People she could couch surf with or roommates! I haven't decided just how long she's been in Recollé (a year or less?)


• Friends are always good, either Bad Behavior ones or Good People ones. She could easily meet a bunch of people in passing as coworkers or what have you, she wanders a lot.


• Employers who are either willing to look the other way when her background checks turn up a significant rap sheet or work with her to improve. Or, yanno, encourage her to resume punching people she doesn't like, either/or. She has to afford that hair dye somehow.


• Potential mentors? This angry teenager could use some help.


• A long shot, but older characters who might have known her parents (or are her parents, plot twist) would be interesting down the line.


• Bonus critical weakness round: shy girls who like art things. She'll be substantially less belligerent around them, it's like magic.

I played Minako with a Lucy a long time ago, I would love it if I could do it again * u * If you'd like some pre-game CR, she could definitely be a Good People friend, perhaps a roommate? Minako's roommates are currently NPCs xD That or maybe they were former coworkers, Minako works at a cupcake bakery with a ridiculous work uniform, so I can imagine Lucy wouldn't have stayed that long. Just long enough for Minako to worm some social media info out of her, perhaps haha

[long_live_the_queen]

Hello hello!

Roommates are good. Lucy also could have worked at the bakery briefly, stocking things or unloading trucks etc.

just keep her away from customers or she'll punch someone's nose in ten seconds

Which could be why she's not working there now, haha. That and the uniform requirement.

[complementing]

People at the Confectionary still whisper of her infamy...

[long_live_the_queen]

It was all fine for three days!

Then Lucy's patience exploded, hit a stupid customer with a chair, and got fired instantaneously.

oops???

look she's not good at this

She's a better roommate, promise

[everythingisred]

We already have plans but points at eyes points at you!!! Also I propose he and her investigate this horses are now birds business together laughs. Mostly so we can subject her to birbs, yes

[long_live_the_queen]

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU

hi there, haha

And they should! It's an employee field trip. Birds are an A+ justification, including giant ones that could probably disembowel you faster than CGI Mostly Triassic Park raptors.

[everythingisred]

JUST A MAN BEHIND SOME SUNGLASSES totally inconspicuous

What if he buys her an egg and is like here raise it and investigate it, these are a foreign creature to this world aren't you the least bit curious?? /notice he's not opting to take one in himself like a douchebag

[outpunch]

Hi Sam, Mad here! I have a cop so you probably know what I'm getting at...he wouldn't make a good mentor like at all, but he can keep an eye on her or something?

[long_live_the_queen]

They'd probably fight like cats, haha.

Maybe she did something minor like key someone's car that got her on his radar, then he ran a background check and was like B|

[outpunch]

They so would, both online and offline probably...smh

Your record was a good read missy, you'd better not be planning a sequel though... B|

[me_matey]

well ahoy there

[long_live_the_queen]

ayy

I think they could wind up getting along, looking at May's AU. Or at least Lucy being slightly more likely to put up with her at the beginning.

[me_matey]

hell, may might have extended an invitation to crew with her, since their stories are so similar

[spes_phthisica]

...okay, so this child is studying to become a social worker and she probably has GREAT experiences with those... but hear him out, let him take you under his wings anyway???

[long_live_the_queen]

FANCY MEETING YOU HERE

She'll be Extremely Suspicious of him at first, haha. Lucy's kind of the poster child for everything in the system going wrong at the worst times.

[spes_phthisica]

FANCY THAT <3

she is the poster child of everything he thinks needs changing listen he has Opinions and the system needs to be changed and please let him take care of everyone

[longwei2go]

>her mom evaporated

that sounds painful my dude, let Yin buy her a drink in solidarity

[long_live_the_queen]

it's rough buddy

She's underage but that's never stopped her from doing anything, so

[longwei2go]

well so's Yin for another... ~5 months

[blooming_resonance]

Hello naughty child are you ready for a big sister

[long_live_the_queen]

SHE IS NOT PREPARED but it would undoubtedly help, yes

[blooming_resonance]

Come here and let Onee-chan see the best in you and try to make sure you go down the best path because troubles all start from somewhere.

This CR only ends in Not Speaking About It Ever Again from Lucy

[prismaticdestruction]

I liked the idea we had on plurk tbh! :3 Just because 12 year old curious child.

[long_live_the_queen]

WHOSE DUCKLING IS THIS this is not hers, what the hell

and then Flandre ends up with a terrible role model entirely by accident
