That’s something that’s inspired by the author’s own experience. One of the most significant differences between the two characters is their respective stages in life while Fanny is in the prime of her life during the events of The Invisibles, Luci LaBang is very much looking back on her life and wondering just where all the time has gone. ![]() I think that allowing the character to have those edges was quite interesting.” So that's what I like about it, is the unpleasant edges or the bits that are not heroic, are not friendly or not nice. I think Fanny is way more indomitable in that sense, and although there are some connections, the Luci character for me is much more - she's more vulnerable, and she does have big hopes for people and for humanity, and doing the right thing, but she's constantly fucking up and constantly saying the wrong thing and constantly trying really hard to fit into the world we live in today and failing.
