Order Of Darkness Changeling By Philippa Gregory

In my book, Order of Darkness Changeling, the author Philippa Gregory develops the character Luca Vero in multiple ways. One way is through direct description. The book describes him as a “...slightly dark-hired youth, naked to the waist, wearing only breeches, his hazel eyes blinking under a fringe of dark hair. He was about seventeen, with a face as sweet as a young boy, but with the body of a young man forged by hard work.” (Gregory 6). The author also describes Luca through his actions. One example is when Luca keeps a dagger by him at all times, even under his pillow. This shows how smart he is and how he is aware that there is always danger. He also has gotten very angry at people for thinking he is not qualified for his job.
