___________________________________

Lux, the youngest Crownguard of her family, was born and raised in the city Demacia of High Silvermere. Lux was born into a family that had served for generations as protectors of the kings of Demacia.

Garen; Lux's brother, served his family's role joining the military when he was just a young boy. With Garen's absence Lux was expected to help run her family's many estates in which she did not find pleasant from the moment she could even remember.

Lux had an obsession with discovering and exploring new things, she wanted to escape beyond the walls of Demacia. However, the use of arcane talents had been forbidden for Lux's entirety of her life. Many of the kingdom's folktales described that the purest of hearts can turn dark by the lure of magic. Lux knew of the dangers arcane talents can cause as her uncle had been slain by a rogue mage.

It is a known fact that arcane talents are something you are only born with and the chances of lux receiving them where quite high as it was in her blood. Riding home from exploring the blank hills of Demacia one night, Lux and her horse were attacked by a ravenous sabrewulf pack. In fear and desperation, the young girl let loose a torrent of magical light from deep within her, routing the beasts but leaving her shivering in fear. Magic, the one thing that terrifies most was much a part of lux as her Crownguard lineage.

Lux was to keep her arcane talents hidden as she could expect imprisonment or exile. She couldn't disgrace the Crownguard name forever.

With Lux's older brother Garen away from home, Lux found herself all alone in the halls of their family home. Over time Lux became more familiar with her talents, and the many nights she lay awake fists clenched, willing her inner light to fade. Over time Lux began experimenting in secret, playing with sunbeams in the courtyards, bending them into solid form, and even creating tiny, glowing figures in her palm. She keep her magic a secret, as much as she could.

When lux was 16 she traveled with her parents Pieter and Augatha to their formal residence in the Great City of Demacia. Lux was amazed by the city and soon she learned of the Illuminators, a charitable religious order working to help the sick and the poor. As Lux attended most of her family's courtly engagements, she became close with a knight of the order named Kahina, who also taught Lux more martial skills, sparring and training with her in the gardens of the City.

Spending more and more time in the capital, Lux had finally begun to learn about the wider world, the diversity of it and its history it held. Lux began to understand the ways of Demacia, and with that became her love for her homeland and her determination to bring magic back to where it once thrived.
