I’LL MAKE YOU DIRTY BOYS BLUSH, BLUSH, BLUSH, BLUSH.
LUCIA DIDIUS LEPIDA
GENERAL INFO
NICKNAMES:
She likes to be called Mere (short for “Meretrix”, which means ‘she who makes commerce of her own body’), but those close to her call her Lucia.
GENDER: Female.
AGE: 22.
OCCUPATION: A prostitute, but she prefers “lady of the night”.
CLASS: Plebeian
EVERYTHING ELSE
POSITIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS:
- Clever & Resourceful. She is a shrewd businesswoman who knows exactly what she wants.
- She comes off as mysterious and cold, but she is actually quite warm and welcoming (especially toward the ladies).
- Sensual & Affectionate. She views the body as a spiritual thing, and communicates through it. Thus, she does not really understand “personal space”. She is prone to kissing cheeks as greeting and casual touching of hands, which she views as normal, but others may think strange.
- Humorous & Witty. She is almost always in a good humor, and she likes to tell jokes (especially dirty ones).
- Playful & Outgoing. She lives to have fun and enjoy herself, and one must never give her too much wine.
- Trustworthy, even though she comes off as otherwise. If one tells her something, she will know when not to tell others. Who knows what kind of secrets she holds…
NEGATIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS:
- Dangerous. If necessary, Mere will become violent. You certainly do not want to get on her bad side.
- Secretive. Even though she is frank in nature and holds no punches, she is very mysterious and enigmatic, which does not help suspicions of her criminal activity. One does not know what to make of her.
- Crass & Crude. She says things most people wouldn’t dare, and is—of course—very sexually open. She also has quite a language problem, but not as bad as one may think.
- Manipulative. If she wants something, she will use other to help her get it, especially if she doesn’t like them.
- Some think her a little too wild and free-spirited, and as a matter of fact, boorish.
HABITS/QUIRKS:
- Mere gives everyone she meets nicknames.
- During the day, you can usually find her being pampered at the public baths. At other times, she will usually work near the circus or the outskirts of the city.
ITEMS:
- She carries around a dagger for protection, in case a client becomes too frisky.
- A toga, which is traditionally worn by men during the republic, is her usual clothing choice.
- She always has change in her pocket to give to beggars or homeless, and also to go shopping with.
ANYTHING ELSE?: Prostitutes made a lot of money in Rome, the occupation being mostly legal and out in the open. Many politicians and important figures supported it, as a matter of fact, and Mere is considerably wealthy because of her rich costumers.
