LUCREZIA

Lucrezia is a modern alchemist, wrapped in silk and science, memory and mystery. As a brilliant perfumer for the House of Capulet, she lives between centuries—part present-day innovator, part shadow of an ancient past. Though she wears a lab coat, it’s her intuition and yearning that guide her deepest work. And beneath her poised intellect lies a secret ache: the memory of a father she never knew, and a friendship she may have once shared with Juliet herself.

Physical Characteristics​

  • Platinum Hair – Pale and sharp, a crown of contrast against the deep reds and glassy whites of her lab surroundings. Her hair evokes both futuristic clarity and Renaissance pallor.
  • Almond Eyes – Soft but observant, constantly analyzing, searching for truths no microscope can reveal.
  • Elegant, Minimal Style – Whether in her lab coat or traveling attire, Lucrezia blends precision with grace. She always seems a step removed from the world, like someone who dreams in data and memories.

Symbolic Items​

  • Glass Vials & Fragrance Strips – Her tools of memory research.
  • The Blue Perfume (Orpheus) – A fragrance that reveals the future—Lucrezia’s "crystal ball."
  • The Red Perfume (M) – The unfinished memory formula, Lucrezia's goal.
  • Memory Shapes - Hidden truths received from her father—not in words, but in mental shapes.
  • Single Earring / Stud: A subtle personal detail—asymmetrical, like her perspective.
  • Silk Scarf - Worn in her hair outside the lab—soft, personal, and timeless.
  • White Lab Coat - Standard issue, quietly refined to fit her rhythm.
  • Lab Goggles - Part of Lucrezia’s everyday gear in the perfume lab.

Key Lines​

  • "We could change lives. Including our own."
  • "Every hour, the future becomes more fixed."
  • "Everything has a smell. Wood, concrete, metal, even glass."
  • "It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backward."

Emotional & Mystical Representation​

  • The Seeker of the Past – Lucrezia is haunted by the missing presence of her father, driving her obsession with past-life memory. Her motives are not domination, but restoration—of connection, of story, of self.
  • The Capulet with a Conscience – Though loyal to Tai, she often questions the morality of Nepenthe. Her heart whispers that forgetting may be worse than pain.
  • The Friend Remembered – There are flashes, hints, an unnamed kinship when she sees Zu. Perhaps in Verona, they were friends—maidens of scent, secrets, and starlight.
  • The Mirror of Juliet – Not a rival, but a reflected self—what Juliet might have become had she stayed, had she chosen legacy over love.

Lucrezia is not villain, not saint—but a crossroads, where past and future meet in vapor and longing. She is the question that lingers after the perfume fades: What is the cost of memory—and what is its worth?
