17. Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

I think Lumina mostly keeps it simple, with a kind of 'personal uniform' that consists of tea-length skirts or dresses, structured but comfortable blouses, and sensible shoes (I'm guessing a lot of Threes do this sort of thing, to cut down on having to think too much about appearance--just find what works or makes her comfortable, and go with it). She's a big fan of soft, natural fibers. By her forties, she has to start wearing glasses, and settles all her whimsy there, with a pair of half-moon specs with shiny metallic rims that become her trademark (if she can be said to have one). No make-up (preferred) or at most a 'natural' look (in the Capitol).

Being an early victor, I don't think she had to deal with too much pressure to have a 'complicated' or sexy look--by the time things were getting elaborate, she was already past the age most of the Capitol would care, and her victory wasn't memorable, so she doesn't get dragged out for commentary or color (which of course suits her just fine).

Hey Lor--I mean, Kawuli! No probs. Lots of people use tea length to mean below the knee but above the ankle, but most typically, it means around mid-calf. They're extremely comfortable to wear because you don't need to worry about accidentally flashing anyone (usually) but you also won't trip on anything.

Thank you for all these entertaining answers!

Yeah, I tend to think any of the early victors who had particularly wild looks had them more due to their own personal inclinations than outside pressures. I think Lumina's sedate-ness is cute ^^

22. Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

Hmmmmm... The answer to this one isn't jumping out to me the same way it does for Eib or Wiress. I suspect she'd do something fairly practical, like make a list of groceries or to-dos (presuming she's not allowed to just get up and go back to her lab!). Lumina has a very ordered mind, she doesn't tend to get consumed when she's science-ing. She's big with the meditation and a time to everything, etc.

27. What is their biggest regret?

Wow, OK, this is a huge one for Lumina, due to her ambivalence about being a victor. Her parents were leaders in a non-violent resistance movement that shared the goals of the other Dark Days rebels but condemned their methods. She was raised to believe in a pacifist philosophy (and really, is still pulled toward those ideas), but when it came time to make a 'statement' in the arena, she had an instinctual reaction separate from logical, reasoned beliefs. It took a lot of time out of the arena for her to reconcile herself to her own capacity for violence (and the job was never really quite done, tbh). For years, she continued to oppose any further rebellion; though this was mostly about practical applications (it seemed likely that the cost of war would be so high that they would risk annihilating themselves completely) she could never completely square the circle regarding the necessity of force and her fear of losing herself in violence (which she associates with irrationality and madness). Which is a long winded way of saying her biggest regret might be her own survival.

Ooh, wow, this is really interesting...!

(Between this and the religiousness, I'm imagining Mags being all "My dad would probably really like you...")

Yes, I think Lumina would probably get along well with him. :)

In my head, Lumina and Mags have quite a bit in common, and apart from their biggest divide (the rebellion), exert a similar influence on the people around them (peacemaking, healing, uniting).
