* '''Downplayed''': Lucia is a human being that just thinks SatanIsGood and/or just likes being a living MindScrew to Christian fundamentalists. She presents herself as or considers herself a Satanic (or possibly Thelemite or Chaotic for a couple of others that aren't necessarily but are often mistaken for Satanism) priest/ess, but does nothing that causes true, lasting harm to anyone and is closer to TheTrickster.
* Lucia is simply a [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters regular human]] who loves tricking and corrupting people for her own sadistic amusement, which just so happens to be what the Devil does - especially if she can catch her targets off guard.

* Or the author wants to explore [[TheCorrupter the power of psychological temptation on people]], and the Devil just happened to be the most common example.



* '''Deconstructed''': Because the legend of the Satanic Archetype has become ubiquitous the longer time goes on, no single person Lucia approaches as TheCorrupter will take her seriously either because she is seen as an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, LovableRogue, or as an ObviouslyEvil force of nature. Therefore, no one will be corrupted by her schemes because she and her plans are so obvious everyone can see it a mile away.
* '''Reconstructed''': But, if Lucia [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon appears as unassuming as possible]], more people will fall for her manipulations, because she did not appear to be the Devil at first. This will allow greater success in accomplishing her goals.
