Lulu has always known her family wasn’t really normal. Her Mama had died when she was little and her Mother before she was even born. Her big brother, Lucas, says her parents got caught in the search for the relics and it’s why Auntie Keesha wants to find them all so badly.

Lucas isn’t related to directly like her Auntie Keesha, but that doesn’t make him any less her brother. Auntie Maureen is nice, Lulu thinks she must be a good Mama to Lucas because he seems happy and he’s so smart but she doesn’t really want her for a Mama even when Maureen offers very nicely. Auntie Maureen helps Lulu choose a last name for her Important Papers that Auntie Keesha says she’ll need when she’s older. In the end, she picks two. On paper, she’s a Miller because she wants to be Just Like Lucas when she gets bigger but for her Bureau papers, the secret ones, she chooses Davenport because Auntie Keesha doesn’t have a last name but her Uncle does.

When she tells him he cries, but they’re happy tears.

Most kids have two parents but instead, Lulu has more aunts and uncles than she knows what to do with. First it's just Auntie Keesha and Uncle Davenport when she’s very little. Then as time goes on she gets more aunts and more uncles, first Auntie Maureen but soon she has Auntie Carey and Auntie Killian, Uncle Avi, Uncle Brian and Uncle Brad, and even Uncle Leon even if he doesn't like to be called uncle very much.

He always relents once Auntie Keesha gives him her Boss Auntie Look.

Auntie Keesha is the only one related to her by blood. She’s much older than Lulu’s mama, Auntie never said the exact age difference but Lulu wondered sometimes because she has old memories, her earliest memory, that must be of her Mama. Dark hands with pencil calluses like Keesha’s but no wrinkles, hair more blonde than white, soft eyes and scratchy lullabies. Mama left once, left her with Uncle Davenport in a fancy metal house and never came back. Instead, Auntie Keesha comes back and tells her that Mama had gotten hurt, that she couldn't come back but she made Auntie Keesha promise to protect Lulu.

After that, it's just Auntie Keesha with her sad, wrinkled eyes and Uncle Davenport and his funny words for a little while. They make a game of it when she's very young, Uncle Davenport saying his name and Lulu saying hers until Lulu is the very best person at understanding what Uncle Davenport is trying to say just listening to his inflection or watching the way his hands dance with each syllable. Sometimes she acts as an interpreter for Auntie Keesha, when Uncle Davenport has bad days and needs help. several times she tries to teach Keesha their stuttering hand language but it's almost as if Auntie Keesha, the very smartest person she knows can't understand the simple symbols for food and water and home.

When Lulu tries to ask why Auntie Keesha gets sad, she whispers about a wheel and sacrifices and she cries for a long time. Lulu learns not to stop asking questions when the answer is The Wheel.

Lulu’s robes make her look like a little Madame Director. She watches Auntie Keesha and learns how to stand tall and tilt her chin and scrunch her eyebrows the same way. Auntie Killian says her Boss Director Look is more of a pout but Uncle Brad says it's a very good start and if she ever wants to workshop it he and Uncle Brian would be happy to help.

So far it only works on Uncle Avi but Uncle Avi never says no to her anyway so that might not count.

Her little boots are enchanted, painted bright red with little gold buttons that clash horribly with all her blue and white dresses but she doesn't care. When she steps they sound like little bells, if she trips a gong sounds, and if she falls they cast feather fall so she never scrapes her knees or elbows when she runs around the quad.

Sometimes she plays with Uncle Davenport, when he’s not busy helping Auntie Keesha, they talk with their hands and he helps her pick books from the library to read. He likes the ones about the ocean and Lulu loves the ones about big mysterious forests, one filled with monsters and adventures. When she’s bigger Auntie Keesha says she’ll bring Lulu down to the surface and she can go on her very own adventure.
