— Lulu's profile
Appearance
Lulu is a Karayan youth with brown skin, black and red hair, and bright blue eyes. His red hair is not dyed and, much like Hugo, is a remnant of his ancestry and is viewed as a blessing by the Karaya.
Lulu wears light Karayan-styled clothing, including short pants, a rarity among the Karaya, as he enjoyed running around in the fields and plains. His bracelets are purple, and his neck accessories were the same color.
Personality
A bright, lively child filled with curiosity, he is well-liked by everyone and was raised with a lot of love and affection. Unlike his mother, he did not shy away from the sight and smell of iron, finding his brothers' sacrifice a point of great pride rather than sadness.
Lulu wields a jambiya shorter and thinner than those of other Karaya due to his youth. Lulu named his weapon "Sut", which means "Son". The name was given by Lulu to express his desire to fight alongside his deceased brothers.
Lulu holds his weapon backward in order to emphasize the speed with which he could strike. His use of a Sword of Cyclone Rune also emphasizes his focus on speed in battle. He is a fast runner and one of his boasts is that he is even faster than Hugo, who is three years older than him. In truth, the two often trade victories when they race but Lulu's determination means he wins slightly more often.
Lulu was the loving son of Luce and a close friend of Hugo since childhood. His older brothers had all previously died in battle with the Zexen Federation, prompting Lulu's desire to become a full-fledged warrior as soon as possible. Like Hugo, he trained in fighting from Sgt. Joe but was not as dutiful as Hugo as he was younger, mischievous, and more prone to slacking off.
Before the outbreak of the War of the Champions, he accompanied Hugo, Sgt. Joe, and Fubar to Vinay del Zexay as part of a peace delegation. Wanting to be recognized as a warrior and bring pride to his mother, he insisted on accompanying the group to help protect his home.
He was vehemently distrustful of the Zexen Knights, having lost his brothers in wars against them. As a result, he felt uncomfortable in Zexen, especially after the frosty reaction he received from bumping into Louis Keeferson in Brass Castle, and frustrated by their reception from the Zexen Council, feeling slighted and disrespected.
Still, he was friendly with the Zexen children Melville, Alanis and Elliot, holding no animosity towards them, and accompanied them on their investigation of the North Cavern. Seeing something of himself in the three St. Loa Knights, he enjoyed helping to battle the bandits in the cavern as a proud Karayan.
Forced to escape Vinay del Zexay due to the outbreak of the war, Lulu and his companions managed to pass through Brass Castle despite Lulu's inability to keep calm, thanks to a forgotten hidden passage. Returning home, Lulu realized that the Zexen Knights had attacked the Karaya Village.
Running on ahead, Lulu would come across Chris Lightfellow near the burning ruins of his home and, convinced that his mother had been killed, pulled out his dagger and attacked. Chris would quickly strike out before Lulu could land his blow, killing him instantly.
He would be buried by Hugo and Sgt. Joe in the ruins of the Karaya Village without proper rites, due to the urgency of the situation.
