Lucile

Lucile was a side character that appeared in a couple of games in the Elsaverse, and was also mentioned in the short story FM: Alpha (2017). She was an accountant who, apparently, had some info about Morland Reyes' shady businesses; that's why he didn't hesitate in having her killed.

Character Overview
It remains a mystery how Lucile became a target for Morland Reyes; all it's known about her is that she worked as an accountant at Bakersfield Business Park, the same business complex where Miranda and Lucas work at. She was a blonde and attractive woman, and most likely also a lonely one, who one day accepted Patrick Bower's company at lunch. It seems that he didn't impress her much, though, as she refused Patrick's further attempts to befriend her, and Morland tried to take advantage of the man's frustration for his own benefit: he ordered his son, Charles, to contact Patrick and encourage him to kill Lucile so that her death couldn't possibly be linked to them. Without revealing his identity, Charles convinced Patrick that Lucile deserved to be taught a lesson for not caring about him and totally ignoring his advances; he handed Patrick a gun, and Patrick came into the business park's food court, where Lucile was reading and having Chinese food for lunch. Patrick yelled and threatened her, apparently ready to shoot her; however, Xara was also there, something that Morland hadn't foreseen: she had just received some new info from her mole and wanted to hear Miranda's views on it. When Patrick pointed the gun at Lucile, Xara calmly tried to convince him not to shoot, and she eventually made him change his mind. Patrick apologized to Lucile and was immediately arrested, but a shocked Lucile decided not to press charges against him. Her fate, however, was sealed, as Morland quickly ordered Crow to deal with her.

Early next day, Lucile's body was found in a warehouse. She was naked and her fingers were burned in acid, post mortem, to erase her fingerprints and obstacle her identification. The autopsy preliminary report says that Lucile died from a sudden heart attack, although she was a fit and healthy young woman. The terrified look on her face seems to point at her being scared to death by Crow's visual illusionism power, but this detail is unknown to Sangrive Police Department. With no clues about who left her body in such conditions and her death having a natural cause, Lucile's case was filed as unsolved by Detective Nathaniel Blake.

Miscellaneous

 * A theory posted by user "xCooler2" on the Shark's Lagoon adult gaming forum after Finding Miranda release pointed to Lucile possibly being the main love interest in the next Elsaverse game, as her name started with "L", like Lucas, with this correlation between player's character and love interest's names going back to Dreaming with Elsa (2015). The theory was totally wrong, but Tora Productions' writer, Tlaero, was so amused and inspired by the incredible and totally unplanned coincidence that she quickly wrote FM: Alpha to keep the letter sequence going, using Lucile and Charles Reyes to link FM to Saving Chloe (2018).


 * Lucile's identification by Sangrive PD detectives Blake and Won was a bit deficient: they only managed to learn her name, but neither Sylvia nor Patrick Bower knew Lucile's last name, and detectives didn't keep asking around the business park.
