What's important to know about this character: This girl is a survivor -- reserved, hard-working, and resilient. She is quietly friendly but tends toward keeping an emotional reserve. Character inspiration/history This character has travelled a long way in getting to Kaz. She's seen about four or five versions now -- and I'm delighted to finally have this character in a club where I can let loose and write about her! I'll always regret that brown she lost in the transition, tho'... When you visit this persona's weyr, what do you find? Luka's weyrsuite has a relaxed, informal feel to it. She loves growing things, and has potted plants of various types everywhere -- windowsills, table tops, suspended from the ceiling, etc. Is developing from contact with Tanara an interest in herbalism and herbal crafts, and her work table will begin to reflect that this coming Turn. The main room of the suite some worn leather chairs and a couch in the "sitting room" of the suite, and there's an old, worn tapestry of running horses serves as the rug in the bedroom -- no shoes allowed in there! If this character were a dog, what kind of dog would he/she be? A saluki -- one of those Russian sight-hounds which were used to hunt hares, wolves, gazelle... a very independent breed, with cat-like personalities.
