Lukana Octo

"She asked you to take care of the "body"... She'll get mad later."

Lukana Octo is a tailor from Mystic Town, Asmodean in the Beelzenian Empire and one of Duke Sateriajis Venomania's many victims. After the Venomania Event, she swapped bodies with the sorceress Elluka Clockworker while pregnant with the duke's child.

Early Life
Lukana was born in EC 116 in Mystic Town, Asmodean. During her childhood, she met and became close friends with Rajih and Lilien Tarner. Eventually, she became a tailor within her hometown. Around EC 135, Lukana and Lilien went shopping through town. Spying a bracelet identical to hers, she bought the trinket for Lilien. When Lilien querried if it was for her, Lukana expressed that it suited her, putting it on her friend's wrist. Noting the one her friend owned, the tailor explained that now they matched, grasping her hand to put the trinkets beside one another.

Venomania Event
In late EC 135, Lukana travelled to Lasaland to take part in its New Year Festival, encountering Duke Sateriajis Venomania. Enchanted by his gaze, Lukana fell in love with the duke. While returning to Mystic Town after the festival, she slipped away and returned to Venomania at his mansion. Satisfying his desires, she was the first of the women to join his harem, giving him her bracelet and living in the mansion's basement.

Three months since becoming his concubine, Lukana stood beside Sateriajis' throne when I.R. arrived in April of EC 136. Overhearing that he was leaving with the sorceress for, she asked where he was going. Telling her he would only be gone for a while, the duke entrusted Lukana with the mansion in his absence and the former tailor gladly accepted the task. She watched as he departed the basement with I.R. to her old hometown of Mystic.

Sometime later, Lukana listened and noticed a peculiar sound. When Gumina Glassred asked what was wrong, she noted the sound and believed it was rain. Gumina revealed that Lasaland was a rainy place, commenting how she hated it. Lukana responded that it was not important anymore becaused Venomania had willed they live there. As Gumina left, Lukana heard her call their lover "Sati" before telling her not to worry about it. The former tailor expressed her slight jealousy that Gumina could call the duke by such a nickname and told her that it would be alright, as Mystic Town was always sunny.

Later, she found Mikulia Greonio with I.R.'s vacant body, dressing up the lifeless body like a doll. Telling the former peasant that the sorceress would be mad when she saw what Mikulia did to her body, Mikulia asked why and Lukana explained that the body wasn't a doll. Listening to Mikulia express her dissatisfaction with her impoverished life in comparison to the life she has now, Lukana grabbed her, saying she would draw on her face too if she didn't stop. When she tried to argue, Lukana coldly told her that she would be unrecognizeable and noticed the pendant she wore. Asking if it was emerald, Mikulia said it was and that Venomania had given her it for returning to him. Lukana said she was jealous, recognizing that Mikulia had also been chosen as one of the duke's "favorites".

Asking if she liked the duke, Mikulia exclaimed that she loved him, saying he never called her stupid like her parents had; caught on the train of thought, she leaped at Lukana, saying she liked her too. Chuckling, the former tailor expressed her gratitude but quickly became concerned when Mikulia became silent. Hearing her say she didn't like Gumina, they briefly remained silent before Lukana told her it would be best if they all get along since it would make Sateriajis happy. Hearing Mikulia's uncertainty, the pink-haired concubine said that she was sure Mikulia and Gumina could become friends despite their different origins, saying they may have similarities, remembering Lilien.

Once Venomania and I.R. returned from their journey, Lukana continued to please the Duke's whims. Seeing Lilien arrive to join the duke's harem, Lukana watched as she danced with him, smiling. At some point, Lukana became pregnant with the Duke's child. When the disguised Kachess Crim successfully stabbed the Duke in EC 137, Lukana broke free of his spell and began to flee the mansion with the others. Soon after, she discovered her pregnancy and was left devastated by the loss of her "purity" and carrying the Duke's progeny. Soon after, she met Elluka Clockworker. Seeing her plight and that her body was receptive to magic, the sorceress forcibly swapped bodies with Lukana against her will.

Legacy
Lukana and the Duke's resulting bloodline lasted for centuries, surviving into the late EC 900s with Nyoze and Gammon Octo. Gammon desired to rid himself of the "curse" inhereted from Venomania and Lukana's intercourse.
