Lucilla

Overview

Lucilla is a playable five-star Glacio Resonator who wields a Rectifier in the action RPG Wuthering Waves. As the principal of Star Torch Academy affiliated with the Space Trek Collective, she stands as a compassionate yet pragmatic guardian who balances high aspirations with a grounded understanding of reality. Lucilla devotes herself to creating a safe and free environment where her students can pursue their ambitions, harboring a personal desire to see each of their dreams realized while overseeing the institution.

Appearance

Lucilla features long purple hair with strands falling between her eyes, paired with matching purple eyes and a distinctive mole beneath her eye. She wears a white jacket over a collared shirt accented by a yellow bow, complemented by a hat. Her attire includes black gloves alongside decorative jewelry such as earrings, a bracelet, and a ring. Her Tacet Mark is positioned just above her right ankle.

Personality

Lucilla is a compassionate and nurturing educator who deeply cares for her students, desiring nothing more than to help them fulfill their potential. While possessing noble aspirations, she remains practical and clear-eyed about reality's difficulties, guiding those under her care with balanced wisdom. Having previously suffered mental distress when her memory-reading abilities blurred the boundary between her identity and others' experiences, she maintains strict control over her thoughts. She exhibits resilient fortitude, redefining her power into a meaningful tool for preserving civilization rather than being discouraged by external criticism.

Abilities

Lucilla is a Glacio-attribute Resonator who channels her power through a Rectifier. Her Resonance Ability, Memory Palace, enables her to read residual frequencies left on personal belongings to extract, analyze, and materialize memory fragments. The process becomes easier when handling items with strong emotional value to their owners. She stores gathered memories within her mind, allowing her to project them visually with controls like pausing and frame-by-frame viewing. Furthermore, she can reconstruct past landscapes or manifest her own past experiences into reality. To avoid overwhelming her limited brain capacity, she regularly edits and deletes accumulated data.

Background

Lucilla serves as the long-standing principal of Star Torch Academy, devoting her career to overseeing the educational institution and fostering an environment where students can freely pursue their ambitions. Through her unique abilities, she has continually interacted with the remnants of past memories; however, this once resulted in a severe personal crisis when the boundary between her own identity and the thoughts of others dissolved. Although rival organizations such as the Fractsidus mocked her ability as being limited to merely recording history, Lucilla overcame her past struggles and reframed her role, taking upon herself the duty of preserving human civilization and guiding the world toward a brighter future.

Relationships

As the head of Star Torch Academy, Lucilla holds a deep affection for all her students, acting as a devoted protector who supports their personal growth and aspirations. Within the administrative structure, she works alongside her subordinates, including Mornier and Luke Helsen, to manage academy affairs. She maintains an antagonistic relationship with the Fractsidus, who dismissed her Resonance Ability as a mere tool for recording the past, countering their contempt with her unwavering commitment to protecting civilization's memory.

Trivia

Lucilla was initially revealed as one of five characters presented during a major content roadmap broadcast, with her official playable debut scheduled for Version 3.4. Her design features a Tacet Mark located unusually low on her body, positioned right above her ankle.
