— Lucca

Lucca (ルッカ Rukka?) is a brilliant inventor and Crono's childhood friend in Chrono Trigger. She is very witty and tends to make flippant comments during serious moments. Using her intelligence and creativity, Lucca invents many devices, such as a battle-training robot named Gato ("Gonzales" in the Japanese version) and a short-range teleporter called The Telepod. 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.

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.

Biography

Lucca and Taban in the FMV.

Lucca's Telepod is scheduled to be presented on the first day of the Millennial Fair. Her father, Taban, also an inventor, assists her. Crono and his new friend, Marle, are first to test the device. Crono successfully teleports. However, this device causes Marle to go back in time. Crono follows her immediately and Lucca seems to be very jealous of this fact, either fearing that their close bond will be changed by this new relationship or indicating that she has romantic feelings for Crono. Lucca eventually catches up after creating the Gate Key to ensure safe and speedy time-traveling. It is also Lucca who realizes Marle is a Princess and when the team attempts to save the Princess' ancestor and restore history, she trys to talk Crono out of allowing a Frog knight from joining the party. Later, when Frog is filled with shame for letting the Queen fall captive, Lucca tries to stop him and finally confesses that he wasn't a bad guy after all.

When Crono is accused of abducting Marle, Lucca rescues him from the Prison Towers in Guardia Castle and singlehandly disarms several royal officials in the process.

Fleeing the Present to evade the Chancellor and his guards, Lucca and her friends enter a Gate that leads thirteen hundred years into the Future. In the Proto Dome, a robotic-man is discovered. Lucca uses her skill with machines to repair the robot. He later joins the party and is quite partial to her, even to the point of calling her "Miss Lucca", a formality seen in the southern region of the United States which dovetails perfectly with his dated chivalrous manner. In one of the full motion videos (FMV) from the PlayStation and Nintendo DS versions, Lucca is trapped by several hostile Robots. Robo rescues her shortly after.

Later, when the party recovers Dreamstone to repair the Masamune, Lucca aids Melchior in fixing the blade. Likely, she lends assistance because of her savviness with technology, but also, in the smelting of swords, fire is needed and Lucca's element is Fire.

Lucca blames herself for the accident that claimed the legs of her mother, Lara, in 990 A.D., an incident which motivates her to study science. During the course of her time-travels, an opportunity opens for her to revisit that moment and change the events. Saving Fiona's Forest opens the a Gate to that time period and it is believed by many that an unnamed deity opened the Gate to allow her a second chance. In 990 A.D. Lucca encounters a younger version of herself.

In the ending FMV scene, Lucca eventually creates 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.

Lucca appears in several of the alternate endings of the game. In one, she and Marle narrate the credits as they roll by. In another, she and Marle ogle Glenn, who has recently transformed back into a man.

Chrono Cross

Kid as a baby, wearing Schala's Pendant, in the FMV of Chrono Trigger.

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.

Alongside Crono and Marle, Lucca is one of the Ghost Children haunting Opassa Beach and Dead Sea. With the others, she vindicates Serge for undoing their efforts to thwart the destruction of Lavos, although his influence on the timeline was accidental.

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.

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. This is likely a reference to her "bright" personality.

Also, Lucca's name may be an adaptation of Lucia, which was the name given to a Catholic Saint who is titled "Healer of the Blind". This is appropriate as Lucca saves her mother from becoming crippled and she opens an orphanage for misplaced children.

Trivia

  • In the FMVs for the Chrono Trigger remake on the PlayStation, Lucca is noted by fans to resemble Bulma from Dragon Ball. This is because Lucca is designed by Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball. Also, their tech-savvy nature is very similar.
