Lux Sibyl

Lux Sibyl is a character of the Violet Evergarden light novel series. She was formerly worshipped as a demigod and secluded from the outside world at "Utopia" on the island of Chevalier. She was eventually rescued by Violet and now works at the CH Postal Company. She is Hodgins' secretary and becomes Violet's first tea friend. Lux is a young girl with a petite build and pale skin. She is described by her peers to be unique in appearance, as she has different colored eyes: the left eye being the color of amber and the right eye being brown. Her long, wavy, lavender-gray hair reaches down to her lower back with messy bangs that cover her forehead. While residing in Utopia, she wears a gold-colored circlet and a long, black dress with a black collar and golden trims. After becoming an employee at the CH Postal Company, she cut her hair to a lower-chin length bob cut. She also began to wear glasses, a scarf around her neck, and a golden barrette attached to the left side of her head, which gives her the impression of being a professional working lady. Lux is a very calm, gentle, and strong girl. She is well-behaved, soft-spoken, and polite as a result of being raised and worshipped as a demigod. Despite that, she felt very lonely due to being an orphan and due to being left out of the religious cult she was a part of. She later came to understand that she felt trapped on the island and wished to escape, but she felt like she couldn't due to being a demigod. It was a situation that she, who only spent her days thinking about when scary times would be over, could not cope with. Lux was afraid of herself for being almost similar to the people of Utopia; having a twisted reasoning and mentality. She was self-deprecating and lacked self-confidence because the nuns who treated her so gently would forget about her once she was gone and find a new demigod to worship. Lux felt that she was not truly loved or cherished by anyone, that there was nothing good in the place she stayed in, and that she could not trust anybody. She felt like everything was scary; she was afraid of venturing into the outside world. Lux claims that she was afraid of dying, yet thought that living was as frightening as dying. She saw herself as someone useless who would be troubled if she stepped into the outside world. She stated that other girls her age knew all kinds of things and had a family, friends, and a place to belong, yet Lux felt like she had nothing. She was no more than a cowardly child who continuously immersed in despair within the darkness she was confined, who had been watching other people die without being able to intervene. She initially wanted to die at Utopia, as she claimed that she couldn't live in the outside world at this point. However, after she was rescued by Violet, who was very much similar to her, Lux gains the motivation to live and decides to start a new path in her life. After that incident, Lux immediately fixed her way of thinking. After becoming an employee of the CH Postal Company, Lux finally gets a place that she can belong to. She claims that it was not as if she had forgotten her past, but she had no intention of continuing to engage in it. Because, the Lux who was a demigod of Roses had died back then, and the current Lux was an employee of a postal company. She also becomes more self-confident and cheerful, as she is not afraid to speak her mind or scolds her co-workers when they make mistakes. Despite having a young appearance, on the inside, Lux is a completely capable secretary. However, Lux states that she still has difficulty in understanding how things work in the world and that she is merely climbing up the stairs of adulthood. She is deeply grateful towards Violet, Hodgins and the postal company for taking her in and tries to repay them as much as possible. She is shown to be a responsible and hardworking girl.
