Lucia the Courtesan

Lucia was a Bankaru of low birth and no opportunity. She possessed a fiery will to succeed and a grim determination to become mistress of her own fate. Using the only possessions she had, her body and mind, she worked her way through the Silk Houses of the west, rising to become the most desired and influential woman in the Empire. For most of the world, Lucia's likeness came to represent the idealized beauty all aspired to.
