Is Lucia Elowen good?
Nobody buffs Rupture teams better: an Ether support who scales off HP and hands out Crit DMG, Max HP, DMG Bonus, Sheer Force and healing. Her Dream state activates Ether Veil: Wellspring, raising the team's Max HP, which Rupture agents turn into damage.
She pairs especially well with 
Yixuan and 
Komano Manato. She's easy to use and doesn't need her signature W-Engine, but has almost no role outside Rupture and costs a lot of skill materials.
Pairs well with: Yixuan; Komano Manato.

"Whether it's a story or a prank, you need the author's conviction to make it captivating.

"Hold up! Let me get this straight. First, you say you're neither a ghost nor a criminal.
Second, you're telling me that squatting on the AC unit outside the video store is some kind of necessary security measure?!"

"My tribe lives on the edge of the Hollow, far from civilization."
"For us, the ever-changing city feels more distant than the wild cosmos."
"Though, just because we don't have all your fancy metal boxes from the city doesn't mean we're writing on turtle shells!"
"What did you say? Parch...ment?!"
"What kind of horrifying creation is that?!"
She arrives under cover of night, like a mystery beneath the starry sky.
Passing through countless tales, walking within boundless dreams.
May your travels never end.
Lucia's caprine design motifs are inspired by mythological creatures found in various mythologies based on goats, sheep and other animals in the caprinae family.
Lucia's motifs most likely come from Fauns, given Zenless Zone Zero often pulls inspiration from Roman mythology.
Fauns are a mythological creature originally depicted as lesser versions of the god Faunus that haunted rustic locations, then became the Roman equivalent of the Greek Satyrs, before finally being depicted as two-footed humanoids with the horns, legs and tail of a goat during the Renaissance.
Their final design was inspired by Pan (god) the Greek god of the wild, shepherds and their flocks, pastoral music and impromptu musical acts.
Despite being the same species, Lucia's eyes are different than Kieran's, with Lucia having rectangular pupils akin to a goat's.
The Nightwatchers' ancestral staff is probably inspired by the khakkhara, a religious ritual staff used by Buddhist monks, especially in East Asian Buddhism.
Etymology
Lucia (name) is a feminine given name that is derived from the Latin word Lux meaning "light".
In Cornish, elowen is the singulative form of elow, referring to the elm.
Stories
2Details
Lucia, a member of Spook Shack, goes by the online name "Night Emissary." She's a backpacker, an Ethereal story enthusiast, and a connoisseur of late-night food stalls. Records show that Lucia hails from a tribe living on the outskirts of the city. Legend has it their ancestors once encountered an Ethereal called the "Night Horror" (absent from the Hollow Investigative Association archives), which left them with a strange gift: Ethereals tend not to notice them. The cost, though, is that they dream of the Night Horror at night, and under its influence, they sleepwalk into Hollows, where corruption awaits. Because of this, the tribe took on the role of Nightwatchers. They rest during the day and hunt deep in the night, avoiding the Night Horror's pull. And if anyone must sleep at night, their family will keep vigil at their side until dawn. Lucia grew up surrounded by her kin, and even after arriving in New Eridu, she has kept to the Nightwatcher tradition of staying awake through the night and watching over her cherished friends, shielding them from the Night Horror's reach. Master, if you hear a knock at your window late at night, don't be alarmed. It may just be a sleepless night guardian stopping by to say hello. Additional note: Lucia's pet is "Chestnut," a small, friendly Hati. It once lived in the Hollow's outskirts, but has since moved deeper inside. Even I can no longer detect its exact whereabouts.

Lucia's father worked with the Defense Force's special forces, and because of his demanding duties, he could only return home once a year. For young Lucia, that time with him felt like a reward in itself. While on leave one time, Lucia's father received an emergency order and had to depart at once. To calm his crying daughter before leaving, he coaxed her into covering her eyes for a game of hide-and-seek. By the time she finished counting and opened them, he was already gone, never to return again. Years later, during an operation in the Town, Lucia came face-to-face with her father, now corrupted into the Wandering Hunter. To the soft tune of a nursery rhyme, she at last brought their unfinished hide-and-seek to an end. The Wandering Hunter laid down his obsession, tainted by miasma, and slowly faded away. Their reunion took place here — as did their farewell.
Cooperation Notes:
Belle
Lucia enjoys traveling the Hollows alone and tracking down Ethereals. She also often shows up with snacks, tapping on the window before slipping into the video store to watch a movie... She's always popping up in different places with a bright smile — just like a little sprite flitting through the night!
Wise
Ever since getting hooked on Lucia's Bangboo ghost stories, Eous has stopped going to bed on time... Now it just camps out at the front desk, ears pricked for the sound of tapping on the window... What a headache.
