[ ABOUT THE ORACLE ]
lumina nox fleuret is the younger sister of ravus nox fleuret and the daughter of the late queen sylva via fleuret. she’s the princess of tenebrae and the youngest oracle in history, regularly convening with the astrals.
noctis frequently calls her “lumii”, and has since they were both children. it took some time, but she eventually convinced the chocobros to do the same instead of any honorifics for a sense of familiarity and casualness.
her covenants with the astrals put a strong physical strain on lumii’s body that leaves her greatly weakened. however, she tends to overexert herself in order to awaken the next god for noctis’ trials and fulfill her destiny.
ravus is against her covenants out of a severe worry for his sister’s well-being and his hatred towards the crown. they have also caused her hair to gradually shift from a light cocoa brown to a stark white, the final pact with leviathan changing it completely.
lumii is an avid dog lover and it is common to see her with her two canines: pryna and umbra. only she and gentiana (later the chocobros) know that they are, in truth, messengers of the astrals.
while pryna typically stays with her, umbra regularly travels across eos to relay messages between her and noctis in secret. throughout her notebook, they communicate to stay in touch despite their distance.
lumii’s experienced with lances, staffs, and swords, training with them since she was young but very rarely actually needing to use them to defend herself. her go-to weapon is a rapier, but she also carries the trident of the oracle.
wanting to be of help to the world of eos, she often travels around in order to heal people suffering from the starscourge without expecting anything but a safe recovery in return.
[ TIMELINE ]
m.e. year 735, lumina nox fleuret is born to sylva via fleuret.
moments after her birth, the high messenger gentiana appears and ordains that she is to ally with the lucian prince to restore light to the world. a less than a month later, noctis lucis caelum is born.
due to positive relations between tenebrae and lucis, lumina and noctis meet often and become childhood friends. she is aware that their meeting was done to tie their fates together, but genuinely cares about him and treasures their friendship.
despite the eight year age difference between them, lumina and ravus were extremely close that they were nearly inseparable. he provided a welcome relief and distraction to the heavy weight that came with becoming an oracle in the future.
pryna and umbra appear and are kept under lumina’s care.
gentiana once again reminds her of her given task and is moved to hear of her genuine resolve to be there to not only help noctis, but the people of the world as a whole. from there, gentiana’s faith in humanity is steadily restored.
m.e. year 744, noctis is brought to tenebrae to recover after his near-death experience and remained in a coma for a short period of time. while he receives medical treatment and awakens, he and lumina are reunited.
lumina reveals that he’s the chosen king and her future duties as the oracle, notably amused but sympathetic that he doesn’t quite understand yet. she promises to be by his side not just because of her duty, but because he’s her friend.
during this time, noctis gives her the nickname “lumii”. despite her confusion, she happily accepts it.
sometime later, niflheim attacks and conquers fenestala manor, killing queen sylva in the process. king regis attempts to flee with both noctis and lumina, but she stays behind to ensure their escape.
with tenebrae forcefully surrendered over to the empire, lumina and ravus are put into imperial custody and it becomes an imperial protectorate.
from then on, she participates in a rigorous training regiment to prepare herself for the eventual title of oracle. from physical training to mental to spiritual, she worked day and night to surpass her own standards and those of the public.
several months after turning thirteen, lumina forges a covenant with shiva. gentiana becomes a mentor and motherly figure to her.
at the age of sixteen, lumina becomes the youngest oracle in history and immediately acts. she starts traveling across eos to heal those of an unknown plague, later revealed to be the starscourge.
lumina writes prompto a letter to thank him for finding the missing and injured pryna after noticing the bandage with his name on it. she also thanks him for being noctis’ friend, under the belief they knew one another as he was why the messenger was there.
niflheim offers lucis the peace treaty, which is accepted. she and noctis are bound to marry as a part of the treaty, and the prince is sent to altissia for the wedding. lumina, meanwhile, travels to lucis to meet with king regis.
while in insomnia, lumina meets the glaive nyx ulric and befriends him. during the attack, king regis orders nyx ulric to protect lumina, who is now the protector of the ring of lucii.
instead of passing in chapter nine of canon, she lives and is secretly under the care of libertus for a short time. he helps her recover and then tracks down noctis’ party, which she joins and parts ways with him.
