——Lumine in Episode 1
Lumine is the main protagonist of LUMINE, a clumsy but well-meaning young wolf. For his own safety, he claims to be a weredog, but he's actually a werewolf.
Appearance
Lumine's height is 170 cm, but he looks short compared to the adults in the series. He has fair skin and white hair, with dog-like white ears on top of his head, along with a white tail. As he has sectoral heterochromia, his right eye is blue and his left eye is half-blue half-golden. His outfits change throughout the series. In Episode 134, he is badly injured in a fight and left with a scar over his right eye, it is unknown if the scaring will be permanent or if the eye was damaged beyond repair, but at this current time, he has been unable to open the eye in his werepup or Human form.
Personality
At first, Lumine appears to be weak, mild, and prone to getting himself in bad situations: He has once gotten himself and Kody lost on the way to a well-known location in a city he has lived in for several months and even slept through an attack on Hageman's headquarters. Despite these shortcomings, however, Lumine is loyal and faithful to his employers and possesses a strong sense of justice, as shown by how he stopped the pickpocketer, fought against the weredog robbers, and even attempted to protect Kody before becoming the latter's bodyguard. He tries very hard to do this, but Kody doesn’t want Lumine to tell his father that he is being bullied, which makes it even harder. He is very trusting and reliant on people for someone his age, such as when he walked right into Sera's home despite her being a stranger and trusting Camille right away to remove the spirit. He is also shown to be a strict rule-follower, which is shown when he asks for Kody's permission to compete in the weredog fights.
History
Lumine was born in Terranevo, where he was raised by adoptive parents.[1] Sometime before the story began, he started working for Edward Hageman. After being fired and kicked on the streets, he then met Aiden and Kody. After being saved, he started to work for Kody as his bodyguard.
Plot
Lumine's job with Hageman did not last long however as two months after he was hired, Lumine found himself fired and on the streets. With no place to stay, Lumine was forced to sleep outside but was awakened by a lost Kody. Lumine attempted to lead Kody to the train station, but only succeeded in getting himself and Kody lost. Even worse, the two boys found themselves cornered by a pick-pocketer who would lead them to the train station if they give him money. Despite neither boy having any money, the pickpocketer attempted to steal Lumine's backpack, but Lumine retaliated. Cornered by both an angry pickpocketer and his two weredogs, Lumine had no choice but to transform...[2]
...into a tiny puppy. The situation became worse when the pickpocketer recognized that Lumine was the puppy that took a stolen wallet from his clutches and returned it to its rightful owner.[3] He brutally kicked Lumine and was about to do worse when Aiden intervened, saving him and Kody. After that incident, Aiden allowed Lumine to live in the Neptune Headquarters and assigned him to be Kody's bodyguard.
Powers and Abilities
Werewolf transformation: As a werewolf, Lumine can transform into a huge canine with enhanced agility and strength. Unlike other werewolves, he has not mastered this transformation and in earlier episodes turns into a tiny puppy instead of a gigantic wolf much bigger than a human. As of Episode 26, he transforms into a full-size wolf after Kody calls out to him, breaking the (possibly symbolic) chains that sealed his werewolf form. As of Episode 31, he is shown to be capable of transforming into both his werepup and full-grown werewolf forms at will. However, he sometimes accidentally shape-shifts in his sleep.
Spirit Vision: Lumine is capable of seeing some spirits, such as Kody's cursed cat. Although it has been stated that only witches can see spirits, Lumine might be able to see them due to being a werewolf.
Relationships
Aiden
Aiden is Lumine's employer and is considerate, kind, and helpful towards him. However, he held him down on the ground during the raid when Kody was kidnapped.
Bill
Bill has attacked Lumine for getting too close to Kody, but he felt remorse for it, and now Lumine and him are somewhat at a truce.
Calla
Calla dislikes Lumine for his relationship with Kody, as well as for telling her to stop bullying him, but she is somewhat grateful towards him for saving her from the weredogs.
Lumine is uneasy around her when she first bullies Kody in front of him, yet he was willing to save her from the witch-child kidnappers and is happy when he hears that nobody bullies Kody any more thanks to her.
She is one of the few people who are aware of him being a werewolf.
Edward Hageman
Despite Lumine's good intentions, he ended up hurting Hageman more often than not. Usually quite a patient man, Hageman constantly complained to Aiden about Lumine's antics and ended up firing Lumine and throwing him onto the streets at the very start of the series.[2]
Elijah
Although Lumine liked Elijah at first, he became conflicted when he realized he was friends with Calla and Kody's bullies.[4] He later told Elijah that while he doesn't hate him, he's not sure if he likes him either.[5]
Lumine does not have any hard feelings towards him, but he had the word "werewolf" suppressed from his mind using magic when he found out that Lumine is a werewolf when he snuck into the Neptune Headquarters.
Kody
The young witch Lumine lives with. Lumine was originally hired to be Kody's bodyguard. At first, Kody seemed to hate him, but Lumine strived to be the best bodyguard and friend he could be for Kody. As the series progressed, Lumine managed to get closer with him, to the point where Kody willingly let Lumine hide in his backpack so he could join him in class.
Kody was also the reason Lumine was able to become a full-size werewolf, but Lumine was still worried about the cat spirit that Kody has around. Now, even though Kody's dad has fired Lumine, he still strives to be good friends with Kody.
Due to his experience with one of Kody's potions, he has a fear of food made by him, even cookies.
Lumine is currently trapped in an unknown place near Kody's biological mother's house, hoping to see Kody again soon.
Robbers
The thief hates Lumine for pointing out he should get a job and for thwarting his pick-pocketing attempt months ago.
Silver
Silver first met Lumine during a fake robbery on a market Lumine and Kody were in. He was impressed by the strength of Lumine's iron-hard kick and bears no hard feelings to him despite how they met.
Silver encouraged Lumine to become closer with Kody and trusted him enough to leave Kody with him.
Sherry
Lumine and Sherry get along, despite her nagging and yelling at Lumine over all the trouble he causes.
Strange Werewolf
He has been searching for Lumine and is shown to know Lumine a bit, while Lumine recognizes his smell as a bit familiar.
Sophia
Sophia is a weredog who has the same condition as Lumine that causes him to transform into a werepup. Sofia knows Lumine's father and tells him that he has been waiting for him.
