Lum

Lum Age: 17 Sex: Female Height: 5 feet Biography: Lum meets Ataru Moroboshi when he was randomly selected by a computer to face her in a game of tag with the fate of the earth on the line. Ataru had been promised marriage by Shinobu Miyake if he could win, and upon catching Lum, he declared "Now I can get married!" and Lum mistook this as a proposal to herself and accepted it. As engagements are sacred on her planet, she's become completely determined to be married to Ataru for the rest of her life, falls completely in love with him, and refers to him as "Darling". Thus, she's forced her way into his life as his "loving wife", and violently shocks him whenever he looks at or flirts with another girl (or if he does something to make her mad), but she always forgives him in the end. Personality: Lum's a sweet, innocent, faithful, and good-natured girl, but she can also get jealous and get hot-tempered, usually due to Ataru and his incessant addiction of flirting. However, in early chapters of the manga and at least till the start of season 2 of the anime, Lum had a nasty streak, almost antagonistic towards many of the characters. She even hatched schemes to be with Ataru when Shinobu was involved. Appearance: Lum is shown to be a very beautiful and voluptuous young woman with golden-brown eyes and cyan shoulder length hair. Like all of her kind she has sharp teeth, pointy ears and small yellow horns. For her everyday attire she wears a strapless yellow tiger striped bikini with matching boots. When she is attending Tomobiki High School she wears the basic navy blue sailor suit for female students either winter or summer school uniform and wears black dress shoes and white socks in place of her boots and her neckerchief within her uniform is yellow as opposed to other female students including Shinobou are wearing their neckerchief in red. In one episode, her entire uniform also covers her yellow tiger stripped bikini. Abilities: Flight: Lum can fly up to various heights into the sky, according to her own free will. Electricity Manipulation: Lum can generate massive electrical discharges, usually from her hands. Her electric shocks are so powerful they are considered to have the raw energy of lightning. Genius-Level Intelligence: Lum is extremely smart being able to make various inventions even being show to have a mastery over chemistry having made a special lipstick that when worn by two people it would force them to lock lips with each other. Energy Storage: Lum can store big amounts of electricity in her body to supercharge her Electric shock, sometimes turning her body blue or gold in the process. Weaknesses: Horns: Lum's flying and electrical abilities are tied to her horns. When they fall off as part of her oni maturation, she is temporarily powerless until they regrow. Cherry has also proven he can create an enchanted ribbon that will cut off all of Lum's powers so long as it is tied around her horn. Jealousy: Lum's jealous attitude toward any woman Ataru meets can be catastrophic, such as causing a massive blackout just to prevent him and Shinobu from talking on the phone. Carelessness: Whilst Lum is a very smart girl, she often doesn't pay the greatest attention to what she is doing, resulting in things going very wrong - especially when she attempts to use her alien technology. A classic example would be when she attempts to make her own soap; she completely ignores the advice of the instructor on the video-screen, and as a result she creates a soap that makes whoever uses it super-slippery. Stubbornness: Once Lum makes up her mind about something, she doesn't change it readily, and this can get her into trouble. A subtler example of this is her cooking; whilst Ran's inability to eat Lum's "get well" meal suggests that Lum may not be the greatest cook even by Oni standards, her stubborn refusal to admit that humans simply do not like Oni levels of spice ensures that every meal she makes is rejected by Ataru. Inexperience with Humanity: Lum's greatest weakness is that she is completely new to Earth, and so human cultural and social norms often escape her outright.
