Pichi Pichi Pitch
Mermaid Princess of the North Pacific Ocean, keeper of the pink pearl, and the main character of the story. Lucia goes up to land to search for a boy she saved seven years ago. She is unaware of the danger in the marine world and of her real mission until she is told of them by her "older sister", Nikora. She is characterized by her simplicity and naivete, but with having a strong will, typical traits of shōjo manga heroines.

Lucia soon falls in love with Kaito, where as he is unaware of this and is in love with Lucia's mermaid form.

Pure
Lucia only soon finds out that her lover, Kaito, has forgotten his memories of her, as well as Hanon and Rina which means it's not a coincidence. Seira, a new orange mermaid of the Indian Ocean, is about to be born as well, waiting to meet Lucia. When her time of birth finally came, Mikeru seized his chance and absorbed Seira into his body, and her birth was therefore delayed, so Lucia now has the job of retrieving all the pieces of her heart contained in Mikeru's feathers.

Manga
The Anime is mostly loyal to the Manga. But in the Manga there were two chapters who weren't in the anime and they were after pure era. Luchia caught a cold and in the whole last chapter she is shivering in her bed, fighting for her life when Kaito is worried, and by her side. Memories of saving Kaito from the tsunami back then 7 years ago, are hunting her. Then she remembers that at that time she saved him, the waves were too strong and she couldn't keep on with the rescue, so Kaito saved Luchia by his Pantarasa's light, they came to the land, and she gave him her pearl as the story goes on. But, at the moment Luchia was about to give Kaito her pearl, Aqua Regina showed up and asked Luchia if she's sure by her action. Luchia said yes. In that moment Aqua Regina reveles Luchia's destiny, to be the next Aqua Regina. The chapter ends when Luchia finally wakes up as the new Aqua Regina, she talks with seira about love life and at the end she hugs Kaito.

Personality
Lucia is known as having a very upbeat personality and she is generally optimistic. She is also a great jewelry artist.
