Luma Arcadios Derexhi, born in 4682 AR, is the eldest daughter of Magnimarian nobleman Randred Derexhi and elven Red Mantis assassin Melune. After being recognized as the legitimate heir of House Derexhi by Lord-Mayor Haldmeer Grobaras in 4712 AR, she succeeded Randred and her brother Arrus Derexhi as lady of the house. Luma is a cobblestone druid, with an innate connection to the city of Magnimar, who listens to what she calls the "citysong" to help her navigate the settlement and intuitively read its inhabitants.

Background

Despite being Randred's eldest child, she was once considered illegitimate due to her aiuvarin heritage, which left her an outcast among her siblings: twins Arrus and Iskola; Eibadon; Ulisa; and Ontor. Among her family she was often referred to as "Mouse" or "Mouseling".

In 4712 AR, Luma unwittingly participated in and subsequently uncovered a plot to usurp leadership of the house from Randred, then kill Lord-Mayor Grobaras and install Arrus as lord-mayor. Luma was framed by House Derexhi in the death of Khonderian, the head of Grobaras's bodyguards; Lord Randred was also fatally injured by Grobaras's clockwork golem guard as part of the plot. Arrus then briefly led the house as lord, and Luma evaded both Magnimarian authorities and House Derexhi to intervene.

Grobaras survived the attempt on both his life and office, and several members of House Derexhi were killed or executed in the attempt. Arrus and Eibadon were apprehended and executed. Iskola and Ulisa died in the attempt, as did Korvosan mercenaries working for House Derexhi and several bystanders.

Grobaras subsequently identified Luma as the legitimate heir to the House's assets and titles. Lady Luma then exiled her stepmother Yandine Derexhi for her role in the plot, and later killed Ontor for his participation in Randred Derexhi's murder.
