Kuromiya Lucien, also known as Lulu or Kuro is a demon from the lower circles of hell, who came to earth to open a book shop called "Black Sheep".After being cast out by her family in hell, and pushed onto the lower circles for reasons yet to be concluded, she waited for a human to find her sigil in a book and offer a body to possess.By the laws of the occult, she was made mortal in return and had to adjust to the experience of pain and hunger.Her eyesight is impaired and she wears a veil to protect herself from other entities possessing her body.Occasionally she takes requests to reveal her true demon voice.
Her followers are called "Black Rams" and she survives on the human souls offered to her.
Lulu revealed a preview of her demon form before losing memories of a glitch occurring during her stream. Later she announced having collected enough souls to commence a ritual to return to her demon form.
She has confirmed this change to be final and announced a provisional redebut date for 666 (06/12/21).
During the lore drawing stream, Lulu revealed she traded the souls she collected to return the body she had possessed to her owner and erase her memories of being a demon vessel.The ritual to return to her demon form took 33 days on the surface world and 33 years in the in-between, a place far off of heaven and hell, where souls go to pay the price for carrying a physical form into the mortal plane.Lulu stated she didn’t want to discuss the details about the in-between, but made clear that it’s a world demote of any light and sound, where beings are stripped of their powers and pinned to fight against each other.
She was offered a contract by a being in the in-between at the end of her sentence, giving her the option to return to hell and possess another human body or taking her demon form to earth in exchange for keeping the peace between occult forces.After offering her a glimpse into the future of the earth, where she would deny the offer and return to hell, she agreed and was granted a thorny halo to show her newly attained status as well as a book to serve as a guide.Lulu returned to earth and began to dust her book shop, happy the black rams waited for her and having a home to return to.
During her Subathon on 08/08/21 Lulu revealed a short lore teaser that implies her recent research is leading her to return to the in-between, unsure if she had fully left.
She ended her stream with the urge to "make a choice" before the date 08/29/2021 briefly flickered across the end screen.The following lore stream revealed Lucien preparing for a mission she might not return from, as she enters the in-between. The stream revealed her past relationship with her mother and showed a glimpse into her work as Keeper of Peace between the Occult Forces.She left the library on 08/29/2021 on a journey to the in-between, though it was later revealed that Lulu's prior version had never really left the other dimension.From 03/06/2022 hints have been left on Lulu's social media platforms as to what happened after she entered the in-between.
There were revealed to be fragments of the events that took place in the in-between. During a lore stream on 03/13/2022 diary entries revealed Lulu to have stayed in the in-between, realizing that with every visit she had been replaced with another version of the initial demon on earth.
She remembered a conversation about an inevitable event she had with her mother and revealed that Lulu's mother was another sentient form of herself that resided in the in-between, possibly shared a body with the Being of the In-Between that had granted her the initial return to earth.
After a fight that resulted in her mothers' death, a different version of Lucien reemerged from the in-between concealed in her library.
In her re-debut stream on 09/04/2022 Lulu retells the story of her descent into the In-Between through a recorded tape. She warns the listener to not seek out the In-Between and to not look for her.In the meantime, present-day Lulu, in her priestess form, starts telling of the origins of the worlds they have become part of; Of the original Forces The Light, The Dark, and The In-Between, the creation of The Above, The Below, and their inhabitants.The forces gave birth to a being while resting and ridding themselves of the powers in The In-Between, that weren't bound by outside influences, and forced them to stay in the dimension after creating this universe.The Beginning segment revealed the Being's name as "She who carries the light in the black shrine", Lucien, which explains why she could visit the In-Between on her own accord.The segment implied Lulu returning to a new world, hinting at her memory being wiped clean of previous versions, but remembering the Lambchops, her loyal supporters.
Lulu's upcoming design was revealed and titled "Cultivator Lulu", a short manga was announced concluding the Nun Lulu lore and introducing a new character.
