Luz was very used to feeling like an imposter in her own life.
She’d been a weird kid without many friends, and even the foster kids her Mami and Papi occasionally took in would avoid her. When Vee and Ben came into their lives, Luz was beyond excited to have a new chance at friends -- maybe even siblings -- only to quickly realize she was still the odd one out.
Vee was sweet, and they quickly got along, but Ben ignored her completely. Vee and Ben were in their own world together, and Luz never quite figured out how she fit into it. She tried! She helped make costumes for Ben’s performances and let Vee direct her and played every minor role and bit character just to be included. It didn’t stop Ben from sometimes looking at her like a replacement he didn’t want, or Vee from running off ahead after their brother without looking to check if Luz was following.
And she was. She followed them to Sidneyland -- to the college program with Vee and to auditions with Ben just to cheer him on. She loved working in the costume shop, getting to help make magic all over the park instead of being limited to just one like most employees. She made friends with her roommates and she got to visit Ben in the park with Vee all the time!
She had hoped that if she showed them how much she supported them, the lengths she would go for her siblings, they would start to include her in their world.
Disaster struck, however, when Luz went to support Ben at an audition and managed to catch the casting director’s eye. She hadn’t even known they were looking for a new Lady Blackwell! And she certainly didn’t think she fit the role! But when they offered it to her, she knew the only worse insult to her brother than getting a role before him would be rejecting one, so she accepted.
She’s the youngest performer in the Camelot show, now, and spends her days playing a villain she doesn’t think she can quite do justice. When she’s not Lady Blackwell, Luz is running around the park with her friends hoping to distract herself from the anxiety.
And who knows? Maybe she’ll find a place where being just Luz will be enough.

As a little girl, Sidneyland had felt like a dream brought to life.
Elsa would visit every year with her family, running through the park and throwing herself into the fantasy of it all. She would swordfight with pirates on Atlantis Island, joust with the other squires in Camelot, and ride through the wild west in Besydus. The park hadn’t lost any of its magic by the time Elsa’s little sister Anna was born, and every time they made the trip to the family vacation home in Orlando, Elsa would take her baby sisters on all of the same adventures she’d loved as a little girl. It was her favorite place on the whole planet; as far removed from the cold of Minnesota as it was possible to be.
The trips stopped suddenly when Elsa was fifteen. When she went to practice her driving with her mother and little sister and ended up in a crash that put Anna in the hospital and her mother in a coma. When Iduna woke up, she didn’t remember anything and was paralyzed from the waist down.
Everything changed after that summer. Elsa’s father was distant and icy cold, excluding Elsa from every family event and taking every possible opportunity to remind her that their family’s woes were all her fault. Elsa did everything she could to try and make up for her mistake, but the pressure and guilt finally got to her during her first year in college and Elsa had to be hospitalized after having a nervous break. When she told her father she wasn’t returning to school, he kicked her out with little more than the clothes on her back.
To this day, she wasn’t entirely sure what brought her back to Orlando of all places; maybe the memories of a warmer, happier time. Maybe the guilt bringing her back to the scene of the crime. Either way, it turned out to be the best decision she ever made.
She managed to get a job at the park during a job fair, starting first as a clerk at Tortuga Treasures. She made friends in the park and even found some roommates, since her attempt to get back into the abandoned Sommers vacation home had nearly ended in her arrest. After a few years of working in the park, she was scooped out of Atlantis by the then-manager of the Ice Queen to instead work in Camelot.
It took time -- and a lot of crying into Luisa and Martin’s arms on their living room floor -- but Elsa slowly began to let go of all of the guilt from her childhood. She started to see the magic in Sidneyland again and even started making some of her own, earning herself the reputation as the real-life Ice Queen. She took over as manager when Johanna retired, and even finally reunited with Anna when she came to Sidneyland with the SCP.
(The fallout of that reunion was still dying down, but her mother was now living in the old Orlando vacation home while her lawyers take Agnarr to the cleaners. Elsa visited frequently to help her mom out, and their relationship was slowly being rebuilt.)
Now, Elsa can happily say life feels like a dream again. She’s got a job she loves, her friends and family supporting her, and now she even has a boyfriend! What had started as a harmless crush on the cute (and very strong) construction worker helping to build the new Star Wars land turned into a friendship when he started frequenting the parks and her shop, and when he asked her out she eagerly accepted. She’s enjoying the anniversary festivities and the giddy honeymoon period (and who knows, maybe she’ll finally learn what all the hype is about backstage hook ups with your partner).
