Luzia knows that she might not survive the test, but she looks forward to having her mind challenged and her wits sharpened. “Let it be my ambition and not my fear that seals my fate,” she tells Santángel. Why do you think she’s not afraid?

Because she's a strong willed character. She doesn't have anything to lose at this point. I think she's accepted and acknowledged the risk of the test, and realizes that the potential for achieving what's next is better than the alternative, which is doing nothing.

Luzia wants a life different from the one she’s been living, poor, dirty and relegated to sleeping on the pantry floor. I think her desire for change drives her ambition to compete in the three tests. She is very intelligent and strong willed and would rather bravely fail than be too afraid to try.

I think that Luzia discovered the powers within her and had confidence in those powers. Having experienced a way of life different from that which she had been living, I think that she was focused more on the quality, and not the quantity, of her remaining lifetime.

Luzia knew the power she held and saw it as a way to change her life. She only did it though after seeing others’ reactions to what she was able to do, having had to keep it a secret for so long. Even though there was great risk to her and to the others who supported her, I think part of her also longed to be acknowledged as something other than a low scullion, which was how she was perceived by others. She was never recognized as being a person of worth, and was never truly “seen”. She knew how to be invisible. Santangel was truly the only person who wanted to get to know her as a person. But even he had ulterior motives.

Luzia is strong willed but spent most of her life making herself smaller and as invisible as possible to draw as little attention to herself (similar to Santangel). She has lost most of her family, and her one remaining relative has done little to help her. She feels she has not much to lose and is willing to risk her life to learn more about the extent of the power she suspects resides within her and how to use it. She is also craving friendship & love which is probably worth the risk also.
