Lucia Nanami first appeared as a young mermaid seven years ago before the story started. One night when she ventured onto the sea's surface and encountered a cruise ship celebrating a festival, she met a young boy. It was love at first sight. But before anything else happened, a giant wave crashed onto the ship and the boy fell into the icy ocean. Lucia went after the boy without a second thought. She saved the boy using her precious mermaid pearl. The boy kept the mermaid pearl ever since.
As the story begins, Lucia surfaced on land again, but this time her purpose is to retrieve her pearl. 13 is considered adult age in the mermaid world, but a mermaid princess without her pearl cannot receive her full power. Heading to the human world with her pet penguin Hippo, Lucia assumed a human form and took Nanami as her surname. She works and lives in the hotel Pearl Piari, along with her "older sister" Nikora and the fortune teller Madame Taki.
In time, Lucia retrieves her pearl and also reunites with the boy who she gave it to long time ago. She also learns that there is an enemy trying to capture the seven Mermaid Princesses and obtaining their pearls for evil. They have already destroyed the Mermaids' kingdoms and captured two Princesses. Only Lucia's kingdom wasn't destroyed because Aqua Regina used her power to protect it.
Caren, one of the mermaid princesses, often turns her back on the other mermaids. Every time she is saved by one of them, she doesn't bother to thank them, and simply swims off and gets into more trouble.

While on land, Luchia meets a surfer who looks awfully like the boy from seven years ago named Kaito. Luchia could not believe it at first, but he most certainly is the boy who had Luchia’s pearl for seven years and whom never forgot about this mermaid. Luchia and Kaito have a troubled relationship throughout the first season of the anime, mainly because that the mermaid Luchia is unable to reveal her human identity to Kaito. It is said that a mermaid who willfully reveal her identity will turn into sea foam. Luchia is desperate for Kaito to learn her secret, asking him to search for her in episode 10. Kaito was troubled with his feelings about the human Luchia and the mermaid Luchia, whom he thought were two different people.
Luchia has a very cheerful personality. She has a good and simple heart, and a simple mind. But she also has courage and termination in abundance. She would help anyone that is in trouble. She is also very friendly, especially when she makes a “friendship ring” for Rina although she hardly knew her in episode 3. However, she is also insecure sometimes, and gets nervous whenever she sees some other pretty girls around Kaito.
Luchia shares a strong bond with her friends and fellow mermaid princesses. She met the first other mermaid princess, Hanon, in episode 1. Hanon and Luchia became quick friends, partly because of their similar personality. As for Rina, the green mermaid princesses, it was a hard beginning due to Rina's cold and distant exterior. However, as time passes, the three became close friends. They are always there to defeat the Dark Lovers, and they help each other whenever it is possible.
In the second season of the anime, Luchia has a rival for Kaito. And because of the upcoming danger, Kaito gave up his memory in order to protect the ones he loves. Luchia has to deal with the harsh facts that Kaito no longer remembers his precious mermaid, the enemy she has to face is very powerful, and she has to win Kaito over the girl who saved him and developed a crush on him, Nikia Amagi.
