So Azalea has a drag persona named Onyx, and helped out Davia and Luca during their arc in S4 by showing them xyr character and how xe uses him. Onyx's signature look is anything black with white diamond contacts and an emerald-studded choker. During the later parts of the season, Luca has dreams where Onyx appears to him and picks on him about his perceived inability to be a good partner, or even just friend to azalea. Later on it’s revealed he was just speaking on Luca’ own insecurities, and acts as a friend to him once he overcomes them on his own terms.

In season 5, Onyx most often appears when Luca is at his dance classes. He gives him subtle support, while still being a sort of representation of what’s going on in his head. When Luca starts to realize he has a slight crush on Riley, Onyx is the one to tell him to watch himself with her, as while he can’t stop anything he does, he emphasizes that they both know how important Luca is to Azalea (I kept his crush on her in my canon bc it’s human to have attraction to others even when in a committed relationship, it’s just what you do about it that shows your character.). He acts as the Angel/devil on Luca’s shoulder in regards to Riley, replacing the romantic themes he would originally have with her with reminders that he has someone much better waiting for him. It’s sorta how I deal with Luca having a canon love interest, and I get to play with Onyx giving him grief for it lolol. Also, that begenning scene in S5E9 where Luca is dancing with Riley in a fantasy sequence? In my canon it's Onyx instead.

Onyx as Azalea’s drag persona, he’s energetic, confident, sporadic, and loves to show off and have fun. He retains these traits when in Luca’s head, but is more snarky and chaotic. Since he represents Luca's inner thoughts, or at least those that pertain to azalea and his relationship with him, he has a tendency to be brutally honest with him. Yet, he also acts as a friend in some ways, trying to guide Luca in the right direction. I have fun playing around with Onyx in his aspect, not only is it fun to see this version of Azalea who has more elements of xyr original incarnation, it's a way for me to work around Luca's canon interests, and keep him connected to Azalea while working through these plot points. Again, this version of Onyx is just in his head, but I think it's a cool way to represent his thoughts towards Azalea, and to further divert my canon from that of the show.

Y'know. If any of that makes sense.
