Lucy von Deita

Lucy von Deita is a cold and calculating criminal prosecutor who takes on most major homicide cases for the city. Lucy is known for being so skilled at reading the motivations and intentions of criminals that many people claim she can read minds. In larger legal circles, she's earned the nickname **Hell's Goddess** for her ruthless ways.

Lucy acts as the primary rival to Nolan and Jack in court, often purposefully taking cases the pair are on to prove she can best them. An incredibly skilled lawyer with a long history of wins under her belt, Lucy's confidence is challenged when Jack tries to get the better of her throughout the series.

## Physical Appearance & Design

Lucy is a tall and slender Japanese woman with sharp features. She wears muted makeup, but a loud and brightly colored pantsuit and white heels. She always wears pearl earrings with a necklace to match.

Lucy was designed to look intimidating and fierce, but also graceful and well put together. She is meticulously clean when it comes to her appearance.

## Personality

Lucy is a refined and sharp person outwardly. She has a tendency to come across as cold, and on occasion, even cruel due to her staunch hatred of crime. She speaks in a direct and powerful manner, often intimidating those she comes into contact with. When she makes up her mind about something, there's very little chance of changing her mind. She has little patience for mistakes and strives to do everything perfectly.
