oak : who would your muse consider the strongest person they know ?
I saved this one for last to answer because it was the trickiest one, for some reason... I think the answer would, weirdly, be her mother?? Manette may have been pretty horrible to her, but after Basile left, she was left to run the entirety of Aether all on her own. All the work that was going to two people was now all on her, and she could have easily been overwhelmed and given it all up. That would have been the easiest thing to do.
Instead, she rose to the challenge and took over the company so she could provide for herself and Lusamine. As she’s gotten older, she’s grown to admire that about Manette.
That’s about the nicest thing she can say about Manette though GKDF

She didn’t, up until post-Ultra Space. She spent... A Very long time being bedridden by herself, with almost nothing to properly distract her, so she spent most of that time thinking. She thought SO much about the past, what she did in Ultra Space, what she did to Guzma, her kids, her employees at Aether...
Well. “What She Did” isn’t exactly right. I guess more “what happened”, because despite having all that time to think, Lusamine clearly doesn’t see herself as the bad guy in any of those situations. I’ve said before that she thinks she’s a victim, and the way she behaved was a result of grief, and everyone else was twisting it around to make her seem like the evil one.
The only thing she wishes she could actively change would be Mohn’s disappearance. It was the catalyst for everything, after all.

Christmas was her favorite when Mohn was still around. She loved decorating everything with her family, and she even though she’s NOT a gift person At All, she really did try to get everyone something they’d like. It was nice to see her kids get super excited over a present she carefully picked out for them.
Most holidays are very family or love oriented, so these days, she tries to ignore them as best as she can. She’s a resentful motherfucker LMAO.

Lusamine would lie and say she’s content right now, realistically. Certain things suck, like her health and “””being abandoned by everyone she cared about”””, but she still has Aether and has purpose in caring for Pokemon.
Catch her a little tipsy on a bad day and she’ll probably just say she wants Mohn back. She will not elaborate if you don’t know who that is. That’s the most vulnerable she’ll be around 99.99% of people and she will immediately change the subject.
For real though... She was the happiest when he was around and they had their family. She genuinely loved all of them and hates that it’s all gone now. How I Yearn For A Mohn RPer. ))
