Captain Lucky

**Captain Lenore Lucky** (née Tugg) (born April 29, 1884, died 1985) is a supporting character in the SeventyVerse's TUGS spinoff series. She runs Lucky's yard, where boat repairs are carried out.

## Backstory

Lenore was born to a middle-classed family with two younger sisters. She wasn't blind to the fact that women seemed to be overshadowed in her time period, and fought hard to get as much education as she could; mostly in watercraft vehicles. When she was little, she met a fleet of paddle steamers - one of whom was called O.J.. She bonded very well with them all, and was devastated when most of them were scrapped when stronger tugs came into the picture. As an adult, Lenore became the Captain of Lucky's Yard, as she was able to charm her way right to the top. It was here she was able to save the last paddle steamer tug in Bigg City Port - O.J., by getting Captain Star to purchase him. She also took a course in counseling so she could help the tugs emotionally as well as physically.

## Relationships

### O.J.

Captain Lucky knew O.J. back when she was a little girl. She would talk to O.J. and his fellow paddle steamers during their downtime at their dockside. Even in her adult years, she looks up to the old paddle steamer for advice. He has now come to rely on her for not just repairs, but emotional support and care. O.J. was also the Something Old for Captain Lucky's daughter, Andrea's Good Luck Package.

### Hercules

Like all the Stars, Hercules greatly admires Captain Lucky. He went to her for professional help, such as the incident where Ten Cents nearly got blown up. Likewise, Captain Lucky is always keen to listen to Hercules' advice and his stories.

### Zebedee

Captain Lucky always sensed Zebedee wasn't keen to do underhanded things, unlike most of the other Z-Stacks. However, Zebedee tried to insist he was okay. It wasn't until after the munitions incident where he finally relented and talked to Captain Lucky. Zebedee felt much better for it.

### Zob

Zob may have been snarky and grumpy, but Captain Lucky sensed he was a good-hearted tug deep down. When he finally told her the truth about his past and that he failed to save her husband, Captain Lucky didn't hold any ill will toward him. Zob also escorted Captain Lucky's daughter Andrea to the wedding, and was the Something Borrowed for the Good Luck Package.

### Sea Rogue

Like with Zebedee, Captain Lucky knew that Sea Rogue never wanted to steal barges. He was only doing it to protect his honouree uncle. He managed to seek out Captain Lucky after a long time of wrestling with the fact he did something wrong. Sea Rogue was also the Something Blue for Captain Lucky's daughter, Andrea's Good Luck Package.

### Jimbo

Jimbo looks up to Captain Lucky as a motherly figure. This wouldn't be too out of the ordinary, but she did help to build Jimbo. Captain Lucky holds Jimbo close to her heart, and often gives him words of kindness and advice.

### Kirke

Captain Lucky was able to organise a session for Kirke to the point of getting Top Hat to take him down on one of the car floats. He was able to have a good talk with Captain Lucky, and find a way to help improve his attitude.

### Captain Star

Captain Lucky was Captain Star's best friend when they were little, and he heavily supported Captain Lucky's secret home-schooling. The two eventually became smitten with each other and tried dating. It was fun, but neither of them saw each other as anything more than friends. Captain Star also came to rely on Captain Lucky's consouling skills during tough situations, and Captain Lucky too leaned on Captain Star for emotional support.

### Corporal Harry

Corporal Harry Lucky was Lenore's husband. Together, they had one daughter, Andrea, but he tragically lost his life in 1917, leaving Lenore a widow.

## Personality

Captain Lucky lacks Captain Star's fierceness and Captain Zero's aggressiveness and is therefore very passionate towards the tugs in comparison. She is very loving and is seen by the tugs as a motherly figure; often calling them 'dearie' or 'sweetie'.

## Attire

Unlike Captain Star and Captain Zero, Captain Lucky comes out of her announcing house a lot, so she can get to the tugs on a more personal level. She wears a dark blue business suit, and a necklace with a heart-shaped pendent.

## Differences between this series and TUGS

* In the deleted scripts, Captain Lucky was male. In this series, Captain Lucky is female and has the same voice Captain Star did in *Salty's Lighthouse*.
* Also in the deleted scripts, Captain Lucky had a breaker's yard. Because the Breaker's yard is established as being located further Up River, this concept was scrapped. In this series, Captain Lucky's secondary job is now being a counselor.

## Trivia

* The preferred voice actress for Captain Lucky is Lenore Zann, who voiced Captain Star in *Salty's Lighthouse.* This is also her namesake.
* TobyandMavisforever speculated that Captain Lucky was initially going to be in a Nice, Mean and In-Between trio with Captain Zero and Captain Star in the original series. (With Captain Lucky being 'nice', Captain Zero being 'mean' and Captain Star being 'in-between').
	+ In the SeventyVerse though, Captain Star leans more toward 'nice' alongside Captain Lucky.
* Captain Lucky's worst nightmare is the thoughts of the tugs being in danger. The kidnapping situation left her in tears.
