Lucia

Lucia is Marjane’s roommate. They meet at a boarding house in Vienna. At first, Marjane disapproves of the way that Lucia behaves. For example, Lucia uses her very loud hair drier while Marjane is trying to sleep. Over Christmas break Lucia knows that Marjane had no where to go. She invites her to spend some time with her and her family in Tyrol, in Southwestern Austria. Marjane experiences Austrian alpine culture and has one of the best experiences during her stay in Austria. Lucia becomes a true friend.
