--- Quote from: Adak on July 17, 2013, 08:40:19 AM ---I have thought that Lacuna was apposed to pizza and candy because she was a tooth fairy and apposed to any junk food, though I don't know of any confirmation of my guess.

This. I wish I came up with this.

Unless she values quality over quantity
Mira:
Yeah, poor Toot has tried so hard to please her.. Maybe some real dark 70% or higher cocoa content chocolate? That is a health food after all.. ;D

Some possible supporting evidence:
"Lacuna" is an actual music term, meaning a portion of the music when no notes are played -- a "missing piece". Apparently (according to wikipedia) it's also used in text to describe a missing section.
Thus, it would make sense that someone named Lacuna would deal in other "missing" things (e.g. teeth)....
Edit: I'm adding this truely pertinant definition provided by another poster in another topic:-Serack, 1-14-2014

Not JUST gap either, but specifically :
2.
Anatomy
a cavity or depression, especially in bone.
After I saw you point that out on the other thread, I went and had a look. And I really don't know how anyone can think otherwise to the tooth fairy idea with that piece of information in mind. I mean, c'mon, it literally says CAVITY ;)

It can also mean amnesia in psychology.
However, it comes from the Latin lacus, also the origin of the English word "lake". It can mean lake, pond or a vessel for holding water/liquid.
