History
"I was told my ancestors were survivors of this village. That's why I came to see. I didn't realize how bad it was."

- Luseri

Luseri was a skilled hunter whose ancestors lived in Hioni Village. As such, she held a strong resentment against the Holy Empire of Ionia for their destruction of the village a century prior. Despite this resentment and speaks brusque manner of speaking, she was actually quite sensitive and held a strong sense of justice.

When the hero's company pursued the Vermilion Axe to Mt. Hioni, they found Luseri in the ruins of the village. She had traveled to the site of the village to see how her ancestors had lived, but could gleam nothing from the desolation. As such, she refused to help in the pursuit of the Vermilion Axe.

The group would have an Era Tree planted in the past, allowing them to take Luseri to the Hioni Village of HIY 200. Initially skeptical, Luseri changed her mind after meeting the hero Heidrake. She would fight alongside him to protect the village from the approaching Ionian force.

Returning to the present, and the restored Hioni Village, Luseri would gratefully lead the hero's company after the trail of the Vermilion Axe. Shocked and apologetic that the Vermilion Axe trail turned out to be a deliberate trap set for the hero in the Glacial Cave, she would fight alongside the hero from that point on.

As the war progressed, it became clear that Luseri had developed a crush on the hero. She was highly emotional when it came to anyone disparaging him, entrenching her disdain for Ionia. At the lake fortress, she would study the musical arts under Jansen, with the jongleur reasoning that her skills in one stringed instrument would apply to another. She also helped to tutor Myra in archery. Luseri was also a capable sower, having to repair her own clothing. Ilia would ask for lessons, a request Luseri agreed to.

Following the final battle at the Yggdrasilian Palace, she accompanied the hero's eastern migrant caravan, never settling then and instead exploring the forests and mountains. In the branch of the Infinity where the chains of causality were broken, she accompanied the hero to the new continent where she was in charge of surveying the terrain and vegetation around the port town, showing her true colors as a hunter.
