| “ | I know you feel I betrayed you, Annael, but you must understand. I was too afraid to tell the truth. I did what I thought was right. I'm sorry for what happened to you. Not a day goes by that I don't regret my decision. But, it made me realize why I should feel fear if I was fighting for the greater good. And that's what I've learned: that we make decisions like that in service of the greater good because that's the job. [...] If you believe for a moment I would join a tyrant, you're wrong. I joined you because I believe in Oracle's cause. Because you were right. Duty is not always absolute. I regret what happened between us and I would go to lengths to undo it. Look, you don't have to like me. You don't even have to trust me. That's your choice. But whether you like it or not, I am here. To help you, Oracle, and all those who fight for his cause. So for the time being, can we please put our differences aside and work together? | „ |
| — Lucia and Annael | ||
Lucia, often called Luc for short, is a Power and a semi-former comrade-in-arms to Annael. She is a recurring character in Rayne & Mia the Vampire Slayer and a major character in Host of Heaven. Among the many angels who were human in life, Lucia was a blind saint who sacrificed herself. In return for her sacrifice, God gave her a new existence as an angel.
Partnered with Annael, the two worked well together and had a strong friendship. However, one day, Lucia betrayed Annael by having her blamed for not protecting a prophet. As punishment, Annael was locked away in Heaven's Dungeon and Lucia was promoted to being a member of the Powers for her "honesty".
Over 300 years later, when Annael was released from prison thanks to Oracle (following the Original Angel's return to Heaven and civil war against Michael), Lucia joined Annael on Oracle's side and the two started working together and also slowly started to renew their friendship. After Annael was resurrected from the Empty following her death at the hands of Mephistopheles, Lucia and Annael reconciled fully.
Biography[]
History[]
Origins[]
Born in Syracuse, Sicily, 283 AD, Lucia lived a life of absolute virtue, consecrating her virginity to God. As she grew older, when her mother, Eutychia, arranged her marriage to a wealthy pagan, she refused. Her suitor then denounced her as a Christian to the magistrate, threatening to send her to be defiled in a brothel. When the guards came to sentence her to death, she knelt down and prayed for salvation as the guards attempted to move her. Yet, miraculously, she remained fixed to the spot.
The men attempted many other ways to move her, from verbal abuse to violently stabbing her, even going so far as setting her on fire, but she remained rooted to the ground. It wasn't until her husband-to-be told the guards that if he couldn't have those beautiful eyes, no-one ever could. At that point, they tore her eyes from her head. Shortly after, they succeeded in killing her.
Ascendence to Heaven[]
According to the Order of the Church, God repaid Lucia's sacrifice by giving her new eyes of pure light, far more beautiful than any on Earth. At that moment, Lucia became one of the very first human souls to successfully become angels.
BloodRayne & Mia The Vampire Slayer The Series[]
Season 6[]
Though physically not seen, Lucia is somewhat implied when Annael explains the Team her back story.
Season 7[]
Host of Heaven[]
Season 1[]
Personality[]
While Lucia was initially cowardly, betraying her best friend Annael to save herself, she ultimately and dramatically changed to the point of impressing the Powers and even earning begrudging praise from Annael.
However, for a time, Lucia shows tremendous bravery, willingly charging into the battle-fields and never once fearing death or capture at the hands of demons. She also is selfless and much wiser than most of the Powers, being one of the few to side with Oracle during the Heavenly Civil War.
Lucia felt great shame for betraying Annael and while she worked with Oracle partly to try to earn her forgiveness, she still avoided her if she could but always looked ashamed and remorseful whenever they were together, made worse by Annael's sarcastic taunts of her. After Michael was defeated, they finally achieved a reconciliation of sorts.
Over time, Annael and Lucia did start to reconnect a little, though Annael had difficulty forgiving Lucia, let alone, trusting her. After Annael was resurrected from the Empty following her death at the hands of Mephistopheles, Lucia was overjoyed and hugged Annael, being extremely happy to see her again. Now, Lucia never leaves Annael's side. As such, Lucia is very protective of Annael.

She proved Oracle's belief of her unusually high strength even for a Power by her ability to overpower Hester in combat, whereas other Powers are shown to be inferior to her.
