Lucca (ルッカ Rukka?) is a brilliant inventor and Crono's childhood friend in Chrono Trigger. Using her intelligence and creativity, Lucca invented many devices, such as a battle-training robot named Gato ("Gonzales" in the Japanese version) and a short-range teleporter called The Telepod. This device caused Marle to go back in time with Crono following, leading to the quest to save history. She blames herself for an accident that claimed the legs of her mother, Lara, in 990 A.D., an incident which motivated her to study science. During the course of their time-travels, an opportunity is opened to revisit that moment and change the events. Lucca battles with a gun and hammer, and when she gets to Spekkio she learns to cast Fire magic.
Lucca is the only playable character mentioned in Chrono Cross. In the ending FMV scene of the PlayStation and Nintendo DS version, it is seen that Lucca eventually created a mini-robot modeled after Robo. In the same scene, Lucca finds an infant with a pendant that in Chrono Cross turns out to be Kid, the clone of Schala, and takes her in.
Appearance
Lucca has short plum purple hair underneath a helmet with an antenna on the left-hand side. She wears glasses, along with a long-sleeved dark teal-green shirt over an orange tunic with a dark yellow scarf around her neck, and a pair of dark brown boots and a large blue bag and small brown bag
Name Origin
Lucca is a city of northwest Italy west of Florence. On the site of an ancient Ligurian settlement and a Roman colony, it became a free commune in the 12th century and was later an independent republic. It's one of Italy's most conservative and richest cities. Lucca is also the root of many light-oriented words, such as luminescence.
Xenogears
In Xenogears, another Square game, Lucca has a brief cameo appearance in the village of Lahan. Masato Kato revealed in interviews that Lahan is one of the locations he designed for the game, which could explain why Lucca appears in it.
Chrono Cross
In Chrono Cross, where she is referred to as Dr. Ashtear, it is discovered that Lucca eventually converted her house into an orphanage. Kid is revealed to have been found by Lucca and raised in the orphanage. Lucca is kidnapped prior to the beginning of Chrono Cross by Lynx and Harle in an effort to subdue the Prometheus Circuit that keeps the Frozen Flame sealed. She is presumably killed by Lynx later on. Lucca later makes an appearance alongside Crono and Marle as apparitions of themselves as ghost children.
