Karakter & Staf

Lucia Nanami

Utama

Female · Umur 13-15

Mermaid Princess of the North Pacific Ocean, keeper of the pink pearl, and the main character of the story. Her idol form is Pink Pearl Voice. Lucia goes up to land to search for a boy she saved seven years ago. She is unaware of the danger in the marine world and of her real mission until she is told about it by her "older sister", Nikora. She is characterized by her simplicity and naïveté, but with having a strong will. Of all the mermaids in the series, Lucia's mermaid form and human form contrast the most (Lucia has dark blonde hair and brown eyes in the surface while having lighter blonde hair and light blue eyes while at sea). Some fans in the West still spell her name as Luchia, due to a misunderstanding of the spelling systems of different languages. The Italian name Lucia follows Italian spelling rules. That pronunciation is correctly represented in Japanese kana as "るちあ". When attempting to transliterate the kana back into Latin characters, some people, unaware of the Italian spelling of the name, tried using the English "ch" to represent that consonant, resulting in the incorrect spelling "Luchia".

She also seems to love watching comedy shows. Rina transferred to the same school Lucia and Hanon went to, but she chose to wear the male school uniform.

Aqua Regina later gives bands to the mermaids to upgrade their singing power; as in many magical girl series, this is signified by adding frills and accessories to their dresses. She also upgrades their microphones in the end of season one, before she is finally summoned.
