In a signed conversation, Amelia and Gabriel could refer to Lucia using pronominalization, which involves using signs for pronouns such as "she" or "her" to refer to Lucia. For example, they might sign "SHE" while pointing in Lucia's direction or use other appropriate pronouns to indicate her presence or actions.
