Lucille Durant

Lucille is a close childhood friend of Cadfael 's, and foster daughter of sorts to Kuruk.

History
Lucille lead a charmed life, a daughter of a rich family of mages in Byesdam. She has been training in the magic arts since she was a girl, to no success.

She met both Cadfael and Kuruk as a young girl, and has been inseperable from them since.

She joins the group both to protect Cadfael, and in hopes of honing her skills.

Combat Skills
Lucille's primary skill is magic. She is very weak upon joining the group, but improves quickly with enough patience.

Her true strength is as a healer, which she excels in from the start.

Development
Lucille's appearance is meant to evoke both elegance and childishness, to reflect Lucille herself. The bright colors of her clothes reflect her cheery demeanor.

Personality
Lucille is typically quiet and apologetic, but eager to learn and serve. Much more overtly emotional than the rest of the cast, and easily worried. She is strongly implied to have been failing at her craft for several years, which may account for her inferiority complex and eagerness to prove herself.

She is also quite stubborn, and won't easily yield to the whims of others.

Trivia
