Lucille Kensington

129

British, mixed Filipina, reclusive fantasy author living in Jerusalem, Oregon. She doesn’t go out much, as her autism makes socializing overwhelming. Due to a below the knee amputation at birth, she has a prosthetic on her right leg. Because of this, and her chronic pain, she walks with a cane. She has angel wings growing from her back, bound down by a vest. She is Edison’s guardian angel, tasked with keeping her safe from demon/monster attacks, but that doesn’t stop her from being very bitter about it. Her and Ed argue like an old married couple, but they’re slowly falling in love. She loves tea, and drinks it all the time. She prefers not to use her wings, but will do so to escape danger. She’s very witty, and easy to offend. The only one who can call her “Lucy” is Edison, but even she will get yelled at for it. She speaks with perfect grammar, a heavy British accent, a hatred for swearing, and a preference for calling others formal titles such as “Doctor” or (last name).

Edison Tucker

113

Ed has four doctorates, extremely bad dyslexia to the point of functional illiteracy, ADHD, bisexual disaster, swears a LOT, impulsive and stubborn but humble enough to admit when she’s wrong and apologize. She doesn’t yet know that she’s the antichrist, or that her housemate Lucy is her guardian angel, but she’s figured out that (at least, so far) she is unable to die. She can be killed or injured by fellow ineffable beings, but that doesn’t stop her diving headfirst into danger (giving Lucy 84 heart attacks when she has to jump in and save her several times a week).
