CHARACTER INFORMATION
Character Name: Lup
Age: Physically in her mid-twenties, but actually closer to 220~ due to being an elf and some sick stuck in time bullshit.
Canon: The Adventure Zone: Balance
Canon Point: Episode 69, post-canon
Character Information: Here is a link to her wiki!
Personality: Lup and Taako may be identical twins with equally wicked senses of humor, both titled singularly as 'The Twins' in the Prophecy, but they are not the same elf and that shows so clearly in the actions they take over the course of the story.
Lup falls perfectly into place beneath the ātricksterā category beside her brother, a mischievous woman who loves scamming and hustling just as much as starting bar fights. Growing up the way she did, Lup was very distrustful of everyone she met, always expecting the worst out of people and almost always being proved right. Years of being passed on by relatives or being forced to bounce between moving caravans for shelter had taught her to rely on no one but herself and her twin. Due to this detachment from society, Lup takes great pleasure in scamming the people she meets. Itās explained in the first episode of The Stolen Century that their final night on their home planet, the twins decide to hustle some idiot in pool at the local bar, winning effortlessly. Instead of taking money from the loser, they decide to take his shoes. Not because they are some sweet kicks or useful or worth anything, but they do it simply to punish him, so that he has to walk home through the streets in shame. Itās the little things like that, or her long-standing feud with Greg Grimmaldis (who only owes her fifteen dollars, but she continues to bring it up decades after his death), that show just how distant and distrustful Lup can be.
That attitude begins to change over the course of The Stolen Century, if only because during those one hundred years the IPRE crew all came together as a family, learning to love and trust one another in a way that none of them had ever truly known before. For Lup, she has always just had Taako at her side and that was it. But quite suddenly, she now has five other people she can rely on, five other people who have stuck by her side for a whole century. She might not find herself being able to trust the rest of the world yet, but her circle is slowly but surely growing.
Despite some of her other more questionable actions, Lup can also be seen to have a very fine-tuned moral compass when it comes to decisions that hold real significance. In episode 61, the IPRE find themselves on a planet full of powerful, but peaceful robots. Lup and her brother have absolutely no qualms with looting the bodies of dead robots for spare parts, but Lup draws a line at harming any that are still functioning. Fearing that the Hunger will swoop down and consume the automatons and become even more powerful, Davenport suggests that the crew kill all of the robots themselves instead, an idea that Taako is completely in favor of. However, Lup is quick to speak out against the others:
Going hand-in-hand with her difficult childhood, Lup is more than a little hot-blooded and combative, quick to rise in anger and stubborn as hell. When the crew fell upon the 65th plane, they are held as captives and given a trial for their past sins, where they are read a list of their crimes. While the rest of the crew at least fights their sentences a little, Lup doesnāt even give the Justices a chance to read them off, deciding to do it herself.
For all of her detachment and faults, Lup is friendly and gregarious, an extrovert in the extreme. Sheāll absolutely socialize with anyone and everyone, though she'll quietly be much more picky about the actual people sheāll let in close. She loves pranks and jokes of any kind (especially if sheās the one initiating them), but can also take a good goof from someone else like a champ. When it comes to emotions, Lup is a woman of extremes, feeling the whole spectrum of them intensely. It makes her happiness that much brighter to behold and her wrath that much more terrifying. She's still not as well equipped to deal with serious moments as others with more stable upbringings, oftentimes resorting to jokes to ease the discomfort she feels.
Lup is also a bit of a master of the arcane sciences by this point, having graduated at the top of her class (with Taako) from university and then having spent the last one hundred years studying the Light of Creation along with Barry. She's shown to be extraordinarily intelligent, the whole plan of creating the Grand Relics to hide from The Hunger coming from the pair of them.
Since the defeat of the Hunger brought along a new sense of peace into their lives, Lup has been working to find her place, both within her family's lives and within the world as a whole. While she was frozen in time, everything and everyone kept moving forward, and now she's struggling to catch up. Lup pretends to not be so bothered by it, turning more towards her joy in just being free again, but there's always a note of worry and fear in the back of her mind. It helps that she has so much to do now - there's reconstruction to this world, relationships to rebuild, and a new job to throw herself into - but it's still always there, especially coming out when she's alone.
After her decade-long imprisonment, Lup has a deep fear of the dark, small spaces, and of feeling invisible. Even this long since she's been freed, she still has frequent nightmares of being captive and can fall into severe panic attacks when trapped.

Fearing that the Hunger will swoop down and consume the automatons and become even more powerful, Davenport suggests that the crew kill all of the robots themselves instead, an idea that Taako is completely in favor of. However, Lup is quick to speak out against the others:
Even though her morals can often tiptoe into the gray, Lup takes no delight in hurting the innocent, only those she sees as her enemies. A point that comes back to haunt her during their 99th cycle (in episode 66), when the powerful gauntlet sheās created has fallen into the wrong hands and leaves at least a thousand of innocent people dead. Lup is heartbroken and canāt quite shake the guilt looming over her head (āI just- I canāt help but askā¦ did we make the right decision?ā). Itās this guilt that drives her to leave her brother and her friends without a word, deciding that her conscience can only be cleared by taking her gauntlet back and hiding it away forever."Are we - are we just gonna burn every world that we canāt save? Just to keep the Hunger from getting its hands on it? How does that make us any better than them? [...] This - this is the point where we get to decide who we are. I refuse to let us be - the type of people who would destroy an entire world for any reason. This - this isnāt us! This canāt be how we do this!"
Going hand-in-hand with her difficult childhood, Lup is more than a little hot-blooded and combative, quick to rise in anger and stubborn as hell. When the crew fell upon the 65th plane, they are held as captives and given a trial for their past sins, where they are read a list of their crimes. While the rest of the crew at least fights their sentences a little, Lup doesnāt even give the Justices a chance to read them off, deciding to do it herself.
Lup: Uhh wait, Iām gonna guess. I mean, definitely some lust, umā¦ some gluttony in there, probably; pride, for sureādid I miss anything?Along with that, Lup is often rude, abrasive, loud, overly confident, and reckless. She curses freely and says exactly what sheās thinking, no matter how insensitive it may come off as. While Taako and Magnus at least try to be a little subtle about destroying the shitty gifts Merle gave them, Lup just smashes it to the ground at his feet (āCool! I donātā I donāt want that. [..] Mm, itās a dead fish. I donāt want that on my head. Merle, you get that I donāt want that on my head, right?ā). When it comes to confrontations, Lup will always be 100% on the side of fight over flight. But, on the opposite end, sheās also courageous, loyal, and selfless to a fault. She would do anything to protect the family that sheās made along the way, even technically giving up her mortal life for the chance to get a one-up on the Hunger by becoming a Lich.
Taako: Wrath? Did you forādonāt forget wrath.
Lup: Oh, hellaāhella wrath, yeah, definitely. [...]
Lup: Did I get everything?
Justice 3: Yes? H-how do youāhow do you plead?
Lup: [laughs] Guilty, yeah.
