IIRC, we've gotten hints that Luci had a REALLY rough time growing up, and had to become extremely centered and strong willed to survive. Those are traits Castela could use.Dave wrote:So, is Shelly proposing Luci as Castela's mentor in calmness? And, if so, why Luci in particular?
Some sort of six-legged arthropod? Perhaps related to painted lady butterflies, and Hiroshi will turn out to know her.Alkarii wrote:I suddenly have a feeling that Luci may know more than she's let on in the past, and might be a Para of some kind.
As often as not, people who go around surrounded by obvious bodyguards have them to make a statement (such as, "Look at me! I'm important!"), rather than because they really feel the need for security. So the question then is what sort of statement is Brandi trying to make?GlytchMeister wrote:Also... why does Brandi even need bodyguards? Or are they there to keep the public out of the way while mundanes are let in on the big secret?
Luci grew up in an orphanage, and was never adopted. She's fixated (samuari?) on Jaqui for reasons not completely revealed. She's despised Shelly for her strength and liberty she doesn't see in herself, hence playing mean tricks on Shelly like letting the air out of her motorcycle tires.Dave wrote:So, is Shelly proposing Luci as Castela's mentor in calmness?

Brandi is going to introduce her panther side, while Shelly does the Sphinx. Luci's life has been very parallel to Cass, so...GlytchMeister wrote:Also... why does Brandi even need bodyguards? Or are they there to keep the public out of the way while mundanes are let in on the big secret?
Brandi does not look physically intimidating. Her bodyguard does. Therefore nobody attacks her, unless they think they can get through or around the bodyguard. And Brandi doesn't have to display the fact that she has nothing to fear from the average thug or gang (or battleship, or nuclear weapon, or...)GlytchMeister wrote:Hmm. Guess they didn’t stop for coffee, otherwise Billens there would have a salted Carmel latte popsicle.

Thanks, Joe (and others). I'd remembered that Luci and Shelly had had an ongoing clash, but hadn't remembered the details.jwhouk wrote:Luci revealed during an aside that she had been in Juvie Hall when younger. She's also tatted up like a mandelbrot painting.
There's this, from 28 June 2011:Atomic wrote:I have a feeling Luci is much, much deeper than she's been portrayed. Like, Shaolin master type, maybe? Jaqui has simply been focused on her own life and job enough that Luci glomed on to her as a way to complete her studies in a safe environment -- hide in plain sight.
She said something, in the past, about how she despised that Shelley seemed to not have to work at anything to get her way, to get rewarded for things Luci felt she didn't deserve, or something to that effect. She was impressed by Shelley's portal tattoo (she had expected Shelley to have some small, insignificant tattoo, and pretend she was now hardcore, or something...)Atomic wrote:Luci grew up in an orphanage, and was never adopted.

Wasn't that in retaliation for annoying Luci? I seem to recall Shelly got Luci's car alarm going, so she could get past the front desk and talk to Jacqui, in spite of Luci's continued efforts to prevent that from happening...Atomic wrote:hence playing mean tricks on Shelly like letting the air out of her motorcycle tires.
Woohoo! I helped!lake_wrangler wrote:By the way, shouldn't it be "call ME Brandi"?
