Personality
Lucy is a fun-loving kalon. She always looks for the brightness in life and finds happiness in the arbitrary aspects of daily activities. She enjoys going to parties and any fun formal event. She always wants an excuse to get dressed up fancy. She also loves more rowdy fun, however, and often can be found at carnivals and concerts. She sometimes is lacking in common sense and fails to get jokes or the deeper meaning behind some things, but has been told several times that she is "so smart she is sometimes 'dumb'." She has a motherly personality toward just about anyone she meets and often tries to fix broken people, even if she shouldn't. This can sometimes be detrimental to her and she has gotten herself into trouble with it before, but she never loses her loving spirit. Name meaning: "firefly" in Italian

What made you get in to entomology? Was it your one and only desire for the future or did you have other ideas for your career before you fell on this path? Are there any insects that you truly don't like for any reason or are they all equally enjoyable to observe?
"My earliest memory as a kit is a day when I went out with my father to take a walk one night. My mother was a fairly worrying kalon and she hardly ever let me out of her sight, never mind at night, so I had not done this all too many times before. This night was especially warm and as we walked, I began to notice little, flashing balls of light floating around distant from us. My father told me, "why don't you try to catch some, and in the morning we will see what they have turned into." So I captured one in a jar and we left it outside for the night. The next morning, I was surprised to find a small black and red beetle crawling about the jar. From that day on I have been fascinated by insects.
I bounced between career ideas as I grew, never knowing quite where I would be most useful. I considered becoming a nurse, a baker, and even a psychologist, but one day I decided I needed to follow my heart and it led me happily to entomology. It is rare for an insect to make me uncomfortable but I am sometimes wary around stink bugs as they do smell quite bad if you happen to startle them. "
