Description
Professor Lukić is one of the oldest teachers at Luna Nova Magical Academy and is known throughout the school as the Professor of the Occult. She is an elderly, gaunt woman with long gray-blue hair, a large pointed nose, and big bulging eyes that give her an unsettling appearance. She wears an extra-long faculty uniform that covers her feet entirely, along with very long, loose sleeves, and her overall look deliberately resembles a stereotypical storybook witch, an image she appears to enjoy cultivating.
Her personality is defined by eccentricity and a deep fascination with the strange and macabre. She speaks in a low, creaking voice, using dramatic pauses and creepy laughter to create an atmosphere of unease, and she visibly delights in frightening her students. Despite this unsettling manner, she is not malicious; she simply finds fear interesting and amusing in a way that most others find frightening. She has a genuine affection for potions and vast knowledge of her field, and she marvels at grotesque ingredients and unusual magical phenomena with sincere enthusiasm. Her expertise extends into areas that other faculty members prefer not to discuss, including superstitions, curses, and eschatology, and she embraces the dark, unconventional corners of magic that polite magical society tends to ignore.
Her motivations center on a genuine love for the unorthodox aspects of magic and a willingness to pass that knowledge on to students who show real aptitude. She teaches pharmacology, or potionology, along with fundamental alchemy and magic law, and she shares advanced potion-making techniques with students who demonstrate a sincere talent for the darker arts. Her enthusiasm for her subject is evident in her classroom, where she has been shown preparing potions with grotesque ingredients, and in her willingness to encourage participation in school events, such as offering a secret prize to the winner of the Luna Nova Cup, a gesture that motivates the student Sucy to take part.
Within the story, Lukić serves as a supporting faculty member whose presence reinforces the academy's connection to occult tradition. She takes part in faculty meetings alongside colleagues such as Holbrooke, Badcock, and Finnelan, including discussions about the declining number of witches and the weakening of magic in the world, and she joins her fellow teachers in excitedly anticipating events like the annual Wild Hunt. In her role as an instructor, she provides an outlet for students drawn to the strange and forbidden, validating interests that other professors might dismiss.
Her key relationship among the students is with Sucy Manbavaran, who adores her and appreciates her approach to dark and unconventional magic. Among the faculty, she shares a healthy professional relationship with Finnelan, and she works comfortably alongside the other teachers despite her more theatrical demeanor. Her development across the series is subtle; she remains a consistent and reliable authority figure whose eccentricity is accepted as part of the school's character, and her actions show that beneath her frightening exterior lies an encouraging teacher who rewards genuine curiosity and skill.
Her notable abilities lie chiefly in her mastery of potion-making and alchemy, as well as her scholarly knowledge of occult subjects such as curses, superstitions, and eschatology. She is also versed in magical law, making her a well-rounded and experienced educator whose expertise spans both practical and theoretical branches of magic.
