Lucida Sargas is a Rephaim and a member of the Ranthen.

Biography[]

History[]

Like many of the other Rephaim, Lucida arrived on Earth from the Netherworld in 1859. She is one of the very few with Ranthen sympathies.

Her family knows she is Ranthen. Lucida says she "was fool enough to disagree with the violent colonization of Sheol I. Consequently, she was declared a blood-traitor by Gomeisa Sargas and has lived as a renegade ever since."[1] She has essentially starved herself for a century as a result of speaking her beliefs. Lucida escaped the punishment Nashira Sargas gave the Ranthen after the failed rebellion of Bone Season XVIII.

The Mime Order[]

When Warden brings Paige Mahoney to meet with Terebell Sheratan, Lucida is there as well. She tells Paige she has heard a great deal about her from her Sargas-kin. When Paige shows the gathered Rephaim a copy of The Rephaite Revelation, Lucida expresses support for it. She believes that while it might make the Ranthen's movements in the citadel more difficult, it may also save "arduous explanation"[1] when they decide to reveal themselves.

The morning after Paige and her friends are attacked by an Emite, Lucida is with the group of Ranthen who meet Paige and Warden outside Leon Wax's shop and safe house. Terebell tells Paige that Situla Mesarthim has been sighted in Cheapside. Paige asks the Ranthen to look for Ivy Jacob because she has vital information that will help Paige solidify her position of Underqueen should she manage to win the scrimmage.

Lucida is present after the scrimmage happens. They have found Ivy and the other Sheol I survivors and have brought them to the location of the scrimmage.

The Song Rising[]

Lucida attends the meeting between Paige and the Ranthen after Ivy's trial. She tells Paige that the Ranthen become ill-tempered without wine to numb the pain of their scarring from Nashira's punishment. She tells Paige that those Rephaim who went into exile after the war may be sympathetic to the Ranthen's cause. The Ranthen are going to the Netherworld to seek out Adhara Sarin who is rumored to have Ranthen sympathies. When Paige asks her about Senshield and its core, Lucida tells her that only the blood-sovereigns know how Senshield works, and perhaps the Grand Commander. She guesses that the reason why Scion is increasing the number of Senshield scanners is because they wish to tighten their control of the capital to counter the threat of the Mime Order. Terebell informs Paige that she is leaving Lucida behind while the rest of the Ranthen journey to the Netherworld.

Lucida arrives in the crisis facility where the Mime Order is sheltering after the declaration of martial law the morning Paige leaves for Manchester. She will ensure the Glym Lord is accepted as interim Underlord and that no further violence occurs.

Upon finding Adhara, Terebell allows Warden to return to support Paige in Edinburgh to join Lucida in supporting her.

Physical Description[]

Like all Rephaim, Lucida is very tall and strong. Her eyes are chartreuse except for when she's fed on aura. She has slightly more emotion in her features than is usual for a Rephaim. She has Nashira's complexion, somewhere between silver and gold, more on the silver side. Also like Nashira, Lucida has thick, brassy, blonde hair, but her's is loose and cut to her shoulders, an unusual style compared to Rephaite females in Sheol I.

Personality[]

Lucida believes in only following rational courses of action.
