4- Her father was a soldier for the New Eridu Defense Force. One day he left on a mission and was claimed by the hollow, never to return.

He would become the Wandering Hunter, an Ethereal haunting Lemnian Hollow.

Lucia remembers the lullaby they used to sing together:

3- It’s said this ability comes from a creature called the Night Horror.

Sadly because of this ability, during the fall of Eridu, many Nightwatchers were abandoned or mistaken as Ethereals and killed.

In modern day, the Nightwatchers live on the outskirts of New Eridu [implicitly, the Outer Ring].

2- She is a Nighwatcher.

Nightwatchers have this natural ability that Ethereals normally do not attack them because they see them as their own kin.

Think of it as mimicry or scrambling whatever unique vision Ethereals have.

Ethereals will still attack if provoked or she’s near non-Nightwatchers.

1- to begin:

Lucia’s a member of Spook Shack, an online forum where curious people study the paranormal.

She goes under the username “Night Emissary”, hoping that the trail of ghosts will lead her to new Ethereals.

// Headcanon/fact list
// May change when provided new information as Zenless’s world and story expands… I’ll probably write a mix of canon and headcanon.

Wherever the Ethereals attacked would leave small crystalline infection on the body, Lucia used the spray, dissolving that infection.

“It’s best to relocate further from the Hollow. You’ll feel a lot better once you get some fresh air away from this Ether energy.”

Lucia’s able to handle standard Ethereals. When she was sure the area was safe, she removed her Recreation Ethereal & ran to the robot.

She took a Pressure Sedative spray from her pouch.

“Stand still. When an Ethereal attacks, it might leave behind traces of corruption that can worsen any damage.”

“Check if anyone really strange been following you? Several of my friends did experience some problems with these Exhaltist criminals in the past, and none of them have been pleasant.

Thank goodness everything worked out in the end, but if we weren’t all at our best…”

“Hmm… could mean anything ranging from stopping an evil witch cult to wiping out any group, really… but in my world folks who usually ramble about prophecies tend to be lunatics, terrorists, or both.

There’s these criminals at large, the Exhaltists, that fall under the ‘all the above’ category.”

It could be someone who needs help.

She summons a Thanatos Recreation to cover her as she fights off the Ethereals with her staff, careful where she swings in case whatever or whoever the Ethereals were surrounding could get hurt.

“Yep. I mostly do Ethereals and other creatures… Doppelgängers are hard because they mimic human shape and movement, too…”

“Not reading. Drawing. I’ve been trying to get a sketch of a Doppelgänger Ethereal, but it always senses me before I can draw it…
I’ve got a friend to take a photo, but it’s very blurry…
Doppelgängers are quite difficult to survive, even harder to photograph because they’re so quick on their feet.”

She closes her book and waves.

She watches in awe…

The fire… it reminds her of the Ethereal Nineveh…

But she still realizes it’s a bad time to approach the spirit…

She sketches the shape of Junko’s flame, quietly mumbling comparisons to herself.
