Lucia Thayer (Premonitions)

Saint Lucia Thayer, simply known as Lucia, is a character in Premonitions.

Background
Lucia's family is proof that the Mladenovic name has reached diverse heights since their immigration to the United States. Her mother, elusive and hardly known in nature, married a hard-working African-American overseas worker, deciding to stay in the country upon birthing their two children. Lucia received her name from her father's ancestral mulatto roots.

Their mother vanished from their lives when she was 12, dismissing it for her naturally-mysterious demeanor. But the absence was felt for much of their adult lives, when her father started to struggle raising the two. Lucia's brother veered off into success, finding work in architecture. Lucia herself starts to follow her mother's footsteps--as she inherits her desire for spirituality and her discovery of the unknown.

Lucia's a natural musician. Her first material possession was a Billie Holiday record; her first toy, a guitar. Lucia viewed music as her guide to life, her companion in living this world. She showed promise at the age of 16 as a budding musician, her father accompanying her in every step of the way; but when she didn't find success, she was forced to return to the workforce, pursuing a meaningless art degree.

Aging without advancing through academia, and with the help of her supportive cousins, Lucia returned to the music scene by 23. Since then, she has found success as a traveling musician, a starving artist; swearing to herself that she won't sell out if it means preserving the one and only art form she relates to.

Characteristics
Lucia is head-in-the-clouds, highly impressionable, and passionate with her interests. She comes off as very naive at first, seemingly easy to influence--but through her own experiences and her cousins' support, she combats deception and lie when noticed. Her innocent nature roots from her mellow demeanor; Lucia's good vibes are highly contagious, and will almost always affect anyone without even knowing it.
