          xxxASTRONOMY ~ Axxx
              ■ Lucia isn't bad at astronomy, exactly, she just isn't quite invested enough to keep everything straight. It's not a skill she foresees herself using overmuch. She has excellent memory and a good mind for detail, but she also tends to ignore things she doesn't care about. She very nearly made an EE on the exam, but missed the mark by one question.

          xxxCHARMS ~ EExxx
              ■ Lucia isn't a wandwork person by any stretch. She's not bad at it, but she's hardly a prodigy. Still, she finds Charms important on a practical level, so she applied herself enough to earn an EE.

          xxxDEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS ~ EExxx
              ■ Lucia takes after her mother in many ways, but this is not one of them. She's always struggled with this lesson. It's only the memory of her grandmother breaking in and trying to kill her family when she was small that keeps her fighting to do well. She honestly got lucky on the exam; the practical happened to be things she was better at.

          xxxHERBOLOGY ~ EExxx
              ■ While she's hardly got her Aunt Ada's green thumb, Lucia is well-versed in how to care for plants. A lack of natural aptitude is made up for by a lifetime of having information filtered into her memory by way of casual conversation with family and friends. She does struggle, somewhat, with the more vicious plantlife, and is overly cautious when she might get hurt.

          xxxHISTORY OF MAGIC ~ Oxxx
              ■ This is, by far, Lucia's best class, at least of her core lessons. She's always found history fascinating, and had a particular preference for Professor Powell. Her mind easily sorted and recalled information as needed. This particular exam was by far her easiest.

          xxxPOTIONS ~ EExxx
              ■ Again, Lucia was bound to be halfway decent at Potions through sheer exposure. Coupled with the fact that it's just practical to have at least a basic skillset in the art, and she applied herself to the course in order to do well. It paid off, with her exam just barely missing the O mark.

          xxxTRANSFIGURATION ~ Axxx
              ■ Wandwork is not Lucia's friend, and transfiguration is by far her worst attempt. She's decent when she bothers to focus, but honestly, other than a few spells here or there, she doesn't find it to be particularly useful. She fails to see why she'd ever need to turn her pet into a goblet, for instance. So, she applied herself enough to pass the exam, but not much more than that.

          xxxARTITHMANCY ~ EExxx
              ■ Numbers are quite easy for Lucia, so this course didn't cause her too much trouble. She took it out of curiosity mostly, though, so it wasn't high on her priorities when it came time to study. As a result, she missed a couple of questions that honestly, if she'd thought about it for a second longer, she'd have go right.

          xxxART ~ Axxx
              ■ Lucia is not an artist, to put it bluntly. She's got a good imagination, but her ability to put it on paper is not particularly good. She's more of an actress, or an interior designer, even. Still, she enjoyed the course and liked her professor, so she at least applied herself well enough to pass the written exam, losing jut barely enough points to lower her score to an A when combined with the practical.

          xxxDIVINATION ~ Axxx
              ■ Lucia likes this course, but she's not sure she'd say she's good at it. Most of her success is because she fooled the professor into thinking she was seeing things she wasn't, or plain memorization. She imagines she'll do a lot better with tarot cards, which require memorization of the cards mostly, and a little storytelling ability. But when it comes to determining what smoke looks like, or a glob of tea leaves, or what have you, she struggles.

          xxxHEALING ~ EExxx
              ■ Like Charms, Lucia tried to apply herself here. Healing, she figures, is a useful skill, and also one that you could cause serious trouble with, were you to attempt it and screw up. So, it was important for her that she at least master the very basics. She managed that, but not much else, sacrificing any practice at all on the more advanced techniques in favor of that focus. She skated by on her exam and just barely earned that EE.

          xxxMUGGLE STUDIES ~ Oxxx
              ■ Lucia didn't really need this course exactly, but she wasn't sure what she planned on doing with her life post-graduation, so it seemed like a good idea to have anyway. Unlike most of her family, she actually took the course, not just the exam, because she believes in being thorough. Honestly it was something of a waste of time, but she didn't mind. If nothing else, it was an easy O.

          xxxMYTHOLOGY ~ Oxxx
              ■ Lucia's second favorite class, certainly. She knows that Professor Harlowe was her parent's favorite professor when they were in school, though for more personal reasons than any having to do with her class. Still, she's an excellent professor, in Lucia's opinion. The course was both easy and enjoyable, and the exam was a breeze.

          xxxSTUDY OF ANCIENT RUNES ~ Axxx
              ■ Lucia could have probably been very good at this course, if she cared for the subject matter. As it is, she took it mostly for Professor Powell, and did well enough that she wouldn't disappoint him. Or, she hopes, anyway. The exam was something of a struggle because she didn't spend much time studying for it. She was relieved to get a perfectly reasonable middle-ground A.

          xxxWANDLESS MAGIC ~ EExxx
              ■ Lucia struggles with this course only because she struggles with magic in general. Spells she's mastered with her wand are easy enough to pull off without it. All points lost here are points that would've been lost regardless of if she was casting wandlessly or not.

          xxxWANDLORE ~ Oxxx
              ■ Lucia didn't quite count this as a class, or an exam really, because this information is so burned into her brain she thinks she could probably recite it in her sleep. She spent entirely too much of her childhood in her father's shop, after all, and was always fascinated by wands. Not enough to follow in his footsteps, perhaps, but certainly enough that she could win quite a lot of money if someone were to make a trivia game show specifically about wands.

          xxxWIZARD LAW ~ Axxx
              ■ Contrary to what her score suggests, Lucia is actually quite good in this course. Her memorization skills help out a lot, and if she could approach things more objectively, she'd be an excellent lawyer some day. Unfortunately, Marina Edgeworth is her mother, and Marina Edgeworth raised her daughter to have very strong opinions. Lucia often struggles to get a point across without seeming as though she's belittling or insulting another person. If she seemed to have a temper, it might be more understandable. But Lucia isn't an overly emotional person on the surface, so she comes off less as passionate and more as a jerk. It did not help her practical, for sure.
