Memory Data[]
1) After finishing my training at Baran, I was quickly sent to a number of battlefields. The world outside was more beautiful than I had imagined. It's ironic that becoming a pawn of Baran allowed me to see such wonders.
2) My master was taciturn. Once I was an AGE for Baran, he taught me only how to live as a soldier. As a tool. That might be why I lasted longer than my fellows and wasn't disposed of for so long.
3) Missions for Baran were always extremely brutal. Some squads would send you out regardless of broken limbs or bruised organs. Only my master would make sure we were in good shape before deploying us. I was so eager to prove my worth that this treatment often irritated me.
4) On a mission through unexplored territory one day, the ash level suddenly shot up and we were attacked by several large Aragami that wiped out our team. Only my master and I survived. I was angry and saddened by his lack of emotion at the loss of our comrades, but I couldn't express my feelings.
5) At camp, my master made me what he considered to be oden. But the ingredients weren't cooked through and sauce smelled something like ditch water. I knew it was like oden, but it wasn't oden. It was so bad I had to complain, and it was the first time I saw my master embarassed.
6) It was always so strange to me. My master trained so many students and lost them as comrades in battle. How could he be so detached? Did he have any feelings at all? I desperately wanted to find out. I'd make him the best oden he'd ever tasted and then ask him.
7) The effectiveness of the prototype acceleration trigger was incredible. My body moved on its own with frightening speed. But the reaction made me feel like my limbs were being pulled off. By the time the Aragami were eliminated, I was barely conscious.
8) I wondered what made my master so strong. Was it because he killed his feelings and bevame simply a weapon? I sometime believed that was the case. But I was wrong. He remembered his fallen students and comrades more than anyone, and those memories allowed him to keep going forward.
Personality[]
Lulu is originaly cold, not very talkative, agressive and distant, though she quickly becomes gentler to the hounds. She is also honorable and loyal... as long as said loyalty is reciprocated : once Port Baran coldly cast her out and erase proofs of her existence, she instantly and without regret disown them in return, going as far as to transmit their secret technology to her new Port.
Amusingly, even with her original coldness, Lulu seems to have a soft spot for "cute things", instantly falling in love with Phym (Her first words upon meeting her being "So... Cute.") and apparently hugging, dancing and playing dress up with her in Luca's absence. She is, after Luca and equal to Claire, the most protective hound to the human-like Aragami and is ready to do a lot of things to protect her from the shadows against both insiders and outsiders threats.

- Protagonist (God Eater 3)
- Phym: Her feelings toward the little Aragami could be Summarised by the term: "(familial) Love at first sight". Early base dialogue stating that lulu is taken aback by how cute she finds Phym. Lulu is more than ready to lay down her life to protect her by any means necessary. The two are apparently bathing, playing, dancing and napping together, showing a complete and absolute trust toward each other.
- Claire Victorious After a first encounter in Which Lulu attacked the squad, Claire didn't show any grudge and even lent her some clothes after the lost AGE was invited on the Crawler. Once Phym was freed for containment, the two young women found common grounds in their familial love for the little Aragami, with Lulu cooking for them both and quickly became friends, even though Lulu had troubles trusting Claire with her doubts. After Lulu betrayed Port Baran once and for all to protect Phym from them, was almost killed for it and saved by the team, Claire hugged her, happy to see her safe and gave her first aid once in the Crawler's safety.
