==Biography==
Lacey is the daughter of the Driftveil City Gym Leader Clay. She is a second-year student in the academy, and often helps out Cyrano due to his forgetfulness.
After Kieran returned from the Kitakami field trip and took over as the BB League's Champion, his heavy-handed actions caused some controversy among the Elite Four. When the player is introduced into the academy, Lacey takes them on a short tour around before requesting a small Pokémon battle in which she lost. 
When Drayton has the rest of the Elite Four and Kieran come to the cafeteria, he suggests the idea that the player be allowed to participate in the league. Lacey disapproves of the idea, since they should abide by school rules. This decision is supported by Amarys, but Crispin and Kieran agree, overruling their decision. When the player comes to her section in the Terarium, she apologizes for initially denying them, as she did not want them to get embroiled in the club's situation. She then oversees a trial where she has the player take note of various features on Pokémon; she will give the player two chances to answer the question correctly; a third incorrect answer will result in her calling in a Trainer for a battle, though defeating them will still progress the trial. As an Elite Four member, Lacey runs a different team more fitting of her status, though she still loses. After taking a picture with her cute Pokémon, she gives them the Alluring Voice TM before leaving.
She and the other Elite Four members watch the player's battle against Kieran, who topples him as the BB League Champion. When Crispin remarks about the enjoyable battle, Lacey scolds him for not reading the atmosphere, before Drayden walks up to Kieran and teases him, much to her disdain, as she sympathizes with his plight. She then expresses concern about how the club would be run, as the player was now the club's president despite being an exchange student and that if Kieran joined the Elite Four, it would push Crispin out of their ranks. After some deliberation, she ultimately decides to amend the rules, allowing exchange students to become Champions and freezing the current rankings in the league to allow Crispin to retain his position.
After completing the storyline, Lacey can be found in the club room, where the player can rematch her. Successfully defeating her in three matches will allow the player to trade one of their Pokémon for her Snubbull.
