Lucia (ルシア, Rushia) is the proprietor of the Zoogle Antique Bookshop and a member of the Bookman Clan.[1] During her childhood, she lived with Joe and Ur-Campy at the Campbell Residence.[2] In the years since Nea D. Campbell's death, Lucia has become the manager of the Zoogle Bookstore. In this position, she pays people in order to hear their stories and record them. As with many in the Bookman Clan, she worries over the fate of a previous Bookman Junior.[3]
Appearance[]
Lucia is a woman with short, straight, lightly-coloured hair. She wears a collared dress, accompanied by a dark headband and large, round glasses.[3] As a child, she had freckles.[2]
Plot[]
Searching for A.W. - Hypokrisis[]
Approximately thirty years go, Lucia, accompanied by Ur-canpy, rushed to Joe in order to tell her that Bookman has regained consciousness, and is in terrible pain. Hearing this, Joe lifts Lucia up onto her shoulder and dashes back to the mansion.[2]
As they head there, Lucia asks what will become of Bookman now that he no longer has a successor. Furthermore, she wonders if his death would mean the loss of all the history passed down through the Bookman Clan. Joe, however, seems confident that this will not happen, since a man "who holds all the secrets" will soon arrive at the mansion, and that is the very reason Bookman had arrived there in the first place.[2]
The Zoogle Antique Bookshop[]
When Allen Walker and his companions arrive at the Zoogle Bookstore, Lucia immediately recognizes Allen as Nea Campbell's host and greets him warmly. Upon hearing his request for help, she asks him to write his life story for her. Once completed, Lucia briefly skims the contents and notes that all of Allen's claims are from third party sources and that he himself cannot verify them. She also notes that he does not have Timcanpy, which is required for her unconditional assistance. Despite this, she still believes him and invites Allen and his companions to meet Master Zoogle. If Allen is able to answer the Master's question, then they will assist him in locating the Campbell Residence.[3]
After making introductions, Lucia explains that they are members of the Bookman Clan. She goes on to explain that in the past Allen was protected by a previous Bookman Junior, who disappeared alongside him and presumably died. Master Zoogle asks Allen what became of Junior, but because he has lost his memories Allen is unable to answer. Undeterred, Lucia suggests that Allen drink from the Seed of Truth, which will unearth his memories in exchange for shortening his life. After some hesitation, Allen drinks from the seed and thanks Lucia because he finally has a chance to understand his past.[3]
