Who is Luca?

Luca is the main character in Luca, and he’s an adventurous sea monster who longs to see life on earth.

He doesn’t know it at the beginning of the movie, but he can assume a human form as soon as he’s on land.

But as soon as he encounters water, he’s turned back into a sea monster again.

For obvious reasons, this becomes a problem as the movie goes on.

Throughout the movie, he explores the town of Portorosso with his new friends Alberto and Giulia, eventually entering an exciting competition to prove his worth.

The Other Main Characters from Luca

Alberto

Alberto is the secondary protagonist in Luca.

He’s a 14-year-old sea monster who adores the human world and loves having fun.

So, when he encounters Luca, he can’t wait to teach him about all things human!

Although he doesn’t have a supportive family like Luca, he’s full of enthusiasm, is kind-hearted, and just wants to be loved.

Daniela

Daniela is Luca’s mother and she’s fiercely protective of her son.

Like her son, she’s a fully-fledged sea monster but she refuses to let him go to the surface as she feels it’ll be dangerous.

She’s quick-witted and funny but is also over-protective and fails to see the benefits of exposing her son to new experiences.

Eventually, she warms up to the human world after searching for her son on land.

Giulia

Giulia is one of the main characters in Luca and she’s an Italian teenager who’s living with her super-buff father Massimo.

She’s quirky but extremely friendly and is extremely kind to Luca and Alberto when she first comes across them.

After convincing them to help her win the Portorosso Cup, the trio forms a fierce friendship that sees them through to the end of the movie.

Lorenzo

Lorenzo is Luca’s father and (as expected!) he’s another sea monster.

He’s not as over-protective as Daniela, as he’s often distracted and focused on raising his prize-winning crabs.

However, he’s still an incredibly loving father who looks after Luca’s best interests.
