Lonnie couldn’t deny a certain attraction to mysterious, bad girls. She hadn’t really known that until the first VKs came to Auradon, but Mal and Evie were so cool, and also lowkey kind of hot. Plus, Mal had given her a super fire hairdo.
So, VKs were definitely cool. But the more mysterious the other girl, the better. So when a teal-haired daughter of a sea witch started lurking around Auradon Prep, Lonnie had been really intrigued.
Uma was hard to totally figure out. Based on what Jay said, she was super bitter and hateful. But she was also really pretty. And apparently had some sort of history with Mal with some total bad blood. And she was good at sword fighting, which was a huge plus. Lonnie loved sword fighting.
Obviously, she wasn’t about to put herself in total danger just because she wanted to find out more about Uma. But if Lonnie’s mom had never done anything risky, well, she wouldn’t have saved all of China. So Lonnie only put herself in a little danger. She got to do an epic sword fight, and see the dreamy Uma in action.
Then, the barrier to the Isle got lifted, and Uma started spending more time around Auradon. Lonnie found out that she was super sassy, and really dedicated to her causes. But she wasn’t totally bad either. She could make friends, and she had a wicked sense of style. Now, it was just a matter of Lonnie making her move. She’d only been secretly stalking Uma for a couple of years. Surely there was a lot more to learn about the other girl.
