Line 149:
*** Initially, Lucid was a friend of Mercedes from childhood, but always believed she was [[The Unfavorite]] to their mentor, Athena Pierce. After mastering dream magic, jealously eventually caused her to forsake the elves entirely, and used dark magic to purge the memory of her from her kin. So, when the Black Mage’s curse took hold, she was exempt from the Elf Queen’s spell, remaining conscious and awake the whole time. But unlike Zero Beta, she lacked the iron will of a Transcendent, and spending centuries in this miserable condition (which ironically, ended when the Black Mage found her [[The Force Is Strong with This One|and saw potential]] in her powers) [[Non-Indicative Name| slowly drove her mad.]]
*** But it did not end there for poor Lucid. When she realized that the Black Mage’s intent was to eradicate all of existence (himself included) she decided to present him with an alternate plan. She created Lachelein, a city created from her own dreams where festivity never ends and happiness is eternal, which would spread over Maple World. She hoped her master would see this exquisite splendor and change his mind. But when the City of Dreams was complete, a brief moment of sanity made her realize the scope of what she had done, and she tried to flee. She could not. Her own creation has made her both ruler and prisoner of the dream that has now become a nightmare.
*** When finally defeated by the player, Lucid is still not given the mercy of dying. Her defeat gives her a [[Heel Realization]] that fully cures her madness. In an attempt to atone for all she has done, she travels through the astral plane into the subconsciuos of the Black Mage himself, determined to convince him to halt his mad plan, even if she dies in the attempt. She does not. Delving into the darkest part of his psyche, she instead sees the motvation for his goals, the unbridled hate he has for beings who made him what he is. This ghastly revelation causes her to flee, only to be catapulted
* A nice handful of people in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' have pretty horrible fates. No worries, though. [[Messianic Archetype|Sora]]'s probably going to save 'em, along with any other good person who dies and/or disappears in the series.
** Also implied to happen to Ansem the Wise after the betrayal of his apprentices, when he was trapped in the realm of Darkness {{spoiler|1=and became DiZ.}}
