Okay I would absolutely love to know more about how you conceptualize Lucy Talkalot!! You said you could yap about her forever, and I'm holding you to that. You could maybe even include 👀 a moodboard 👀 if you so choose
Hi!!! I was so excited when I first saw this ask and (believe it or not) probably answered this in record time lol. Anyway yes I would love to!!!!! Buckle in folks this is going to be a long one!
So my Lucinda is strictly brunette! She did have a blonde phase but we'll get to that later!
She is (mostly) white passing and possibly biracial but I see her as latina or desi or asian but always white passing with a big family who celebrate their culture but she is mostly embarrassed of it and wishes she was just "normal" when she was younger but grows to appreciate it.
So my lore (inspired by @space-girliee) for Lucinda is that she and Lucius Malfoy dated (she was more of a rebound for him but thats a whole other story (I can definetly make a post yapping about that too)) and she had had feelings/a crush on him for ages (a few years at that point) and they had danced or kissed at parties but they never got serious so when he finally actually pursued her she didn't hesitate to get in a relationship with him. It was very toxic and messy and they both have loads of problems (plus they were kids so their high emotions didn't help either) but they were intoxicating to each other. They have an understanding of each ither that no one else seems to share. They don't have to explain or really communicate they just happen which causes problems later but in the beginning its exactly what he needed. A way to get Frank (Longbottom) out of his head it didn't work but she was enough of a distraction. (Cw addiction mention I hc Lucius to have addiction problems and so when they were/are together they end up just enabling each others addictions (whatever it is their addicted to at the time) and make each other worse so they never really make it very long.
Then Lucius gets with/shows interest in Narcissa Black. Everyone knew that Andromeda Black was the Queen of Slytherin and the girl everyone wanted to be or wanted to be with so when Narcissa finally started coming into the spotlight as Bellatrix was leaving it everyone wanted to know was she as crazy as her eldest sister or was she the perfect pureblood daughter she'd been leading herself on to be. Lucinda thought she was the girl to be. She had everything set up for her. She had enough status and notoriety just by being born a Black and the perfect position of being the youngest so she didn't have the pressure of her older sisters to represent their family (and considering Bellatrix had already tainted the noble Black name how much damage could she do?). She knew being a middle class pureblood wasn't enough she would never be enough to be respected like she was so when Lucius setting his eyes on her he seemed to put everything else aside. He stopped going to as many parties and started focusing more on his studies (he got good grades before but now he was getting perfect O's) and then when he asks her out and she says yes Lucinda gets filled with jealousy and so much envy! She had subtly hinted for years that she was into him. That she wanted him and all Narcissa had to do was show up. So then the only logical thing to do was to become a carbon copy of Narcissa. She would do her hair like her and dress like her and act like her anything to get his attention. She did it for months until Evelyn (Zabini) pulled her aside and asked her what she was doing and thats the conversation that cracked the facade. She'd been slowly shrinking herself and becoming a shell and losing what was her and what was the persona she'd put on to try to win him back.
It wasn't easy but she slowly started pealing back the layers of what was her and what was the girl she'd created to win him back. She eventually after a year or so of really deep diving into herself and what she truly wanted found who she was.
In a Modern AU she is a Olivia Rodrigo, Addison Rae, Amy Winehouse, and Charli xcx stan!!!!! She is Lucinda "Get him back" Talkalot! She's been a Charli fan since Boom Clap!
She is a total party girl! A Cheetah print girly! Red and Purple are her favorite colors.
She wears a L necklace everyday and after her "Copy Cissa" Phase she doesn't know whether it was for Lucinda or Lucius so she ends up getting a ruby and topaz necklace and wears that instead.
She's a very loyal friend and it takes a lot for her to not trust you wants you've earned her trust. If she does get a bad feeling about you or a bad vibe from you its near impossible to get in her good graces though.
She's definetly extroverted and loves being the center of attention.
She's the 3 bi's (bisexual, biracial and a bitch) and a Leo (specifically a July Leo). She is probably around 5'7-9".
She is best friends with Lucius Malfoy (of course), Evelyn Zabini, Emma Vanity, Juliette Wilkes, Rabastan Lestrange and later Narcissa Black and friends with Augustus Rockwood, Corban Yaxley, Mundungus Fletcher, Wendy Slinkhard, and Doris Purkiss. She is in the Lost Gems (Lucius, Evelyn, Corban, Augie, Mud, and Wendy) and the Ice Pearls (Juliette, Emma, Alice and Narcissa).
She had a really big heart and really does want to see the best in people but her guardrails are a little higher than average and is fiercely protective of both herself and family/friends. She's very codependent and will switch her personality on a dime for whoever she's latched herself to (exhibit A Lucius Malfoy) and very clingy.
As much as she wants to be is not a girls girl unless she really tries (which she does for the most part).
She loves loud music and late nights and driving with the windows down at night screaming the lyrics to her favorite songs. In US AUs she is a jersey girl!
In modern aus she loves reality TV and watches Long Island Medium and Wendy Williams religiously!!! She is a drama girly!!!! She loves talk shows and magazines and pop culture and celebrity drama etc. If there is celebrity news she knows at least 5 business days before the media and no one knows how and when you ask she just says "I have my ways" while filing her nails or doing whatever she was going.
Her style is very y2k inspired. Lots of tights with knee length boots especially colorful/printed tights! Mini/micro skirts, mini dresses, low waisted jeans, fur coats (vintage or faux only!!!), leather, and lace. Red, purple, brown, black and gold are her main colors. She does dabble in blue and green too but always jewel toned!!! She always has her nails almond or stiletto shaped and 99% of the time they are some shade of red.
She'd drive a red '69 corvette oem and would love showing off her car to anyone and everyone. She knows loads of things about cars from her parents owning a car shop and would love showing off all her knowledge of it and seeing the looks on peoples faces when she would correct them and then eventually realize she was right (especially when it's men).
I ship her with Lucius (obviously), Rabastan, Narcissa, Emma, Frank (in a ex of my ex becomes my lover way), Mary, Alice, Wendy, Amelia, and Hestia.
Her variants are Veronica (Riverdale), Maddie (Euphoria), Camilla (Daisy Jones & The Six), Gretchen (Mean Girls), Cleo De Nile (Monster High), Briar Rose, Audrey (Descendents), Vada (Tinkerbell), Megara (Hercules), Caroline (TVD), Raquel (Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse), Disgust (Inside Out), Angelica Schuyler (Hamilton), and Wanda Maximoff (MCU).
And that's pretty much it for right now. If you have any questions about her please let me know! I love yapping about my girl! I have so many ideas and concepts for her! And please let me know what you think of the moodboard.
