Crownguard House Crest

Luxanna Crownguard Luxanna Crownguard hails from Demacia Crest icon Demacia, an insular realm where magical abilities are viewed with fear and suspicion. Able to bend light to her will, she grew up dreading discovery and exile, and was forced to keep her power secret in order to preserve her family's noble status. Nonetheless, Lux's optimism and resilience have led her to embrace her unique talents, and she now seeks to bring greater tolerance and understanding to her homeland.

Background[]

Early life[]

Lux was born in Demacia in Silvermere into the Crownguard family, one of the richest and most powerful families in the kingdom, after Garen joined the Demacian army, Lux was groomed to be an obedient and helpful person to the Crownguard family and the royal family, but she was quite a rebellious girl who wanted to explore the world and what was outside the walls of Demacia.

One night Lux was riding back home after a long exploration, but at that moment a pack of wolves ambushed her and her horse with the intention of eating her, when they were about to attack her, Lux, full of fear, unleashed a powerful blast of light from her hand, horrified, Lux realized that she was a mage, the terror of the Demacians and her family, since then she did everything she could to hide her powers for fear of being locked up and murdered.

Contemporary history[]

For the next few years, Lux tried to hide her magical powers, afraid of what would happen. Thinking that she would turn bad or that her family would fall into disgrace. She spent sleepless nights trying to suppress her powers but then began to familiarize herself with magic, practicing and experimenting in secret; bending the solar rays of the gardens making them take different solid forms or making sparkles dance between her fingers. Lux decided that she will keep her powers a secret as long as possible.

When she turned 16, Lux was taken to Demacia by her parents to see Garen's ascension in the army. Lux began to study the laws so that over time the world would stop hating magicians like her.

Meeting Sylas[]

Lux stayed with Garen in Demacia and over time helped him maintain order in the city, however one day Garen chased a mage girl who was escaping, Garen managed to immobilize her and arrest her which made Lux very uncomfortable. Lux discovered that the woman had a spell book which she used to practice her magic, realizing the number of confiscated magic books, she decided to use her family influence to enter the place where all those books were to investigate if anyone could help to control their powers.

After not having found anything useful, she decided to take a walk around the place, where she found an entrance she did not know, two guards tried to stop her but she said it was a Crownguard and they let her pass, accompanied by a guard she discovered that it is the place where they lock up mages. She felt quite surprised and at the same time somewhat horrified to learn that she would be sent there if she was discovered but she went ahead and saw that all the mages were forced to drink a liquid which weakens their powers.

Lux asked why they didn't just exile them, but the guard responded by telling her that sometimes exile wasn't enough punishment. As they walked, Lux saw a large door that caught her attention. The guard told him not to enter since Sylas of Dregbourne was there, one of the most dangerous criminals in Demacia.

Recent events[]

Mageseeker[]

After her powers were discovered, Lux was forced to flee Demacia, but not wanting to go with Sylas, she founded her own mage's refuge in which she would shelter mages who did not want to get involved in the civil war.

Appearance[]

Lux is a short, pale-skinned young woman with big blue eyes and shoulder-length large golden blonde hair, on top of which she always wears a dark blue headband.

While she generally wears typical demacian noble attire in public, she is primarily seen in armor with a silver-white breastplate and skirt, dark blue leggings covering her legs and arms, white heeled boots to match her skirt and breastplate.

When Lux uses her magic, her eyes can sometimes change from blue to bright gold.

Personality[]

Lux presents an energetic and optimistic disposition, being happy and finding humor all the time. However, in more serious situations, Lux's facade drops and she turns out to be constrained and worried about her magic and being found out. She wishes for mages to be accepted in Demacia and opposes the Mageseekers' prosecution of them just because of their powers, sympathizing with Sylas for being unfairly imprisoned. When he betrayed her and started the rebellion, Lux saw him as the danger he truly was, though since the rebellion she has decided to help innocent mages secretly escape Demacia and join Sylas' camp, since being under his rule would be better than being trapped in a nation which saw them only as criminals.

Abilities[]

  • Magicborn Physiology: Lux is an individual born with natural magical ability, which she has been shown to struggle controlling, mainly for the lack of proper training, due to Demacia's prejudice towards mages. She has gone through progression being already powerful enough to awaken Galio, The Colossus.
    • Light Magic Light Magic: Lux can wield the light as a conduit to her magic powers, including the following abilities:
      • Bioluminescence: Lux is capable of making her whole body or parts of it shine, since whenever she gets nervous her hands start to glow.
      • Light Solidification: She can solidify the light to create bindings or shields for herself and her allies.
      • Light Manipulation: Controlling the strength of her light from small sparkles to massive blasts of light, she can concentrate to create various types of lights or make herself invisible.
    • Telekinesis: Lux also has some telekinetic abilities, being able to levitate both herself and her staff with her mind alone.
  • Horseback riding: Like most Demacian nobles, Lux was taught how to ride a horse. She rides her personal horse named Starfire.
  • Mage Staff Mage Staff: Lux has a cane with which she can channel her magical powers with, the appearance deriving from a cane with a double tip of metallic blue and gold or silver and black in color.

Relations[]

Family[]

Lux is the youngest in noble family Crownguard, born with magical abilities she keeps hidden for fear of being executed or exiled from Demacia. Lux feared of what could happen if her older brother Garen Garen found out about her powers (their uncle was killed by a mage, an event that made Garen show magic users both zero tolerance and no mercy). She believed their mother was the only one who knew, however, she had no idea that Garen and their aunt Tianna Tianna had realized that she was a mage several years earlier, and were thinking of ways to protect her. Although they are aware of her power, they were somewhat in denial of Lux being a mage herself. After the events of the Lux comic, Lux got Garen to verbally acknowledge that she was a mage. The two parted ways on good terms.

Garen and Luxanna's father, Pieter Crownguard, was a defender during the failed Noxian assault nicknamed Cyrus's Folly. This is likely referring to the same Cyrus who conquered the port city Basilich, which also happens to be the hometown of Darius Darius and Draven Draven.

Galio Galio[]

Galio Galio deems Lux 'the only mage he likes' (▶️   "You. Young girl person. Can you stay and accompany me wherever I go?") and the one that can help him attain prolonged animation periods longer than a single battle. Lux was apparently the first person to have a conversation with Galio when she was 13-years-old, but he first became aware of her when her family made a pilgrimage to see him when she was a toddler. During the events of Warriors, Lux would make an appearance during Sylas' attack with the Winter's Claw on a northern fortress, which Garen and his soldiers had retreated to. When things were going badly for the Demacians, she openly reveals her magical power to call for Galio's help, which rallied Garen and his men.

Illuminator Crest icon Illuminators[]

Lux was introduced to the Illuminator Crest icon Illuminators by Kahina, Sona's Sona's adoptive sister.

Sylas Sylas[]

Lux met Sylas Sylas when he's in prison. They developed certain bonds during their exchange, while Lux brought him food and books, Sylas taught her how to control her power. Later, Lux was manipulated and used by Sylas Sylas to escape Demacian imprisonment after he learnt about the property of petricite thanks to her. Sylas genuinely cares about Lux, but will not hesitate to harm her if she stops in his way. Lux, in turn, is also ready to stop him if necessary.

Jarvan IV Jarvan IV[]

Lux Lux was intended to marry Jarvan IV Jarvan IV Lightshield as suggested by her brother Garen Garen and her aunt Tianna Tianna, in order to gain political immunity that would protect her of any controversial accusations that would otherwise damage her and her family's reputation in Demacia.

Nocturne Nocturne[]

Nocturne Nocturne terrorized the Demacian settlement of Fossbarrow until Garen Garen and Lux Lux expelled him from the neighboring tomb. Nocturne was sealed in the grave of their great-grandfather Fossian, who died during the fight versus him, before a young mage named Luca accidentally woke him up.

Trivia[]

  • Ezreal Ezreal has fallen unrequited in love with her . However, Lux barely knows him.
    • Zoe Zoe sees Lux Lux as a rival since she has a crush on Ezreal Ezreal.
    • In the old lore, Lux Lux and Ezreal Ezreal were strongly hinted to be dating.
    • They are hinted to also have feelings for each other in alternative universes like Star Guardian and Battle Academia.
