Spoiler warning! The article/section below contains major plot details of the story or the character.

Personality

According to the official website, Luea is generally depicted as bright and positive who loves starting up conversations herself.

In the anime, Luea is sharp-tongued and good at sarcasm. She can occasionally be very sly in an attempt to achieve her goals. None-the-less, Luea is still nice deep down because she is really loyal and supportive to her partners and will do anything selflessly for them.

In Lady Jewelpet, Luea is very affectionate to Lillian. She is also very refined and knows exactly how to give advice to Lillian and train her in the right way for a task. However, she is very sarcastic and often makes cynical comments to Ruby, who takes them as compliments instead of insults. Luea also loves to be scratched behind her ears. It is later revealed that she was Lady Diana's Jewelpet mentor before the latter left, and she is very determined to make Lillian the top Lady. Because of this, she has stated multiple times that she will do anything it takes to make that happen. Since Luea was left behind by her previous Petite Lady, Lady Diana, she is emotionally scarred and tries to take control by making Lillian successful in order to stay with her, indicating that she is an insecure individual.

In Jewelpet Magical Change, Luea is shown to be more cunning and she will do anything to make herself transform into a human. Still, she is very close to Laura and shows strong insecurities when she thought Laura was going to leave her. In addition, she values the stability of her kingdom as a top priority, which ultimately makes her become qualified as the new queen of Jewel Land.

Skills

As the Jewelpet of Truth, Luea's magic spells allow humans to accept the truth and realize what they did wrong. She is also skilled at singing, dancing and playing the piano.

In Lady Jewelpet, her jewel has the power to strengthen bonds, as well as to gain honesty and straightforwardness. Luea is also shown to be good in mentorship skills, though she can be very strict with the Petite Lady she wants to become Lady Jewel. Although she boasts about her own skills a lot, her mentorship shows through Lillian herself in every Lady test she does.

Aside from her mentor skills, Luea is an expert magician like any other Jewelpet. She can cast dark spells using her Jewel Pad, though it requires a magic key to fully utilize it. This kind of spell, called "Tap and Magic", lets her do things to hinder both Ruby and Momona's progress as Lady Candidates. Unfortunately, Luea is not capable of controlling this type of magic and it usually goes berserk. She was secretly working for Joker so that her dream of making Lillian the Top Lady can come true.

History

In Lady Jewelpet

Luea debuts in this series, as well as becoming a major character, where she is the mentor of Lillian. Before becoming Lillian's mentor, she had another partner, Lady Diana. Lady Diana was chosen to be Lady Jewel, but she refused because she had fallen in love with Momona's cousin. Because of that, Lady Diana left the Jewel Palace and Luea behind, leaving only a music box and a doll. After Claire became Lady Jewel, Joker, whose real identity is Lady Rector, came across the distraught Luea, and convinced Luea to help her with her plans. Then Luea used her magic to turn the doll into Lillian, becoming her mentor in the process.

Luea is frequently talking to the Joker through the series.

In An Adult's Date is Heart-Throbbing, Luea lied about not knowing who was the couple in the video file that Miura had.

In A Haunted House is Also Part of Being a Lady, Luea became shocked when she saw the music box that Lillian found.

In The Prince of Curry!, Luea used magic to make a Prince could ensure Lilian's chances on passing the task.

In The Ladies' Samba Carnival, Luea summoned a doll to pull pranks to ruin Ruby during the carnival, so Momona wouldn't be qualified on going to the Royal Palace. But Joker also used magic on the doll, which went out of Luea's control.

In The Ladies' Halloween Party, Luea was shown to use magic to summon a knight monster.

In A Lady That Can Make a Fashionable Dress Look Good, Lillian and Luea had a fight, but they later made up with each other.

In Ladies-to-be, Turn Jewel Power Into Your Ally, Luea intended to have the diamond for Lillian due to her own self consciousness, but eventually accepted Lillian using blue apatite.

In Jewelpet Magical Change

Luea has a major role as Laura's partner. She wants to become a human as well, so she and Laura attempt to steal Airi's pendant multiple times throughout the series. However, she finally gets her chance to become one in episode 23 because of her strong bond with Laura. At the end of the series, Luea is crowned as the queen of Jewel Land, essentially becoming this series' Jewelina.

Trivia

• Luea's jewel motif is the blue apatite (pictured), a variant of the mineral apatite, which is a group of phosphate minerals, usually referring to hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite, and chlorapatite, named for high concentrations of hydroxide, fluoride, and chloride ions, respectively, in the crystal.
  • Her secondary motifs are an indigo butterfly and blue roses.
  • An interesting note is that apatites are rarely being used as an actual gemstone, and instead they're used for fertilizer. However, a raw apatite contains uranium, and can only be used as a jewel after it is purified and cleansed.
• Interestingly, Luea's name comes from blue apatite, which makes her the first (and only) Jewelpet to have a name based on 2 words in their respective mineral.
• Luea is the only Jewelpet who have grey outline in her official artwork instead of the usual brown color.
• In promotional images, Luea uses Ruby's pose template as opposed to having her own original art.
• Luea's birthday is exactly 30 days after Ruby.
• Luea is the only known Jewelpet mentor in Lady Jewelpet to have the title of being the Top Lady's mentor twice.
• Luea is one of the few Jewelpets to have her Jewel Charm introduced outside of the serie (in official characters books).
  • The only other Jewelpets in this case being Granite and Coal.
