## Biography

### Early life

Lucy is an Irishwoman, who for the last 15 years, has been happily married to Bill O'Hara, with whom she has five children. Although, they’ve had their ups and downs due to Bill’s gambling addiction, she remained by his side.

### Stay at home wife

Lucy meets Bill's new partner, Officer Lee when he stops by unexpectedly after getting word of a double homicide down at the Banshee. Lucy is a bit overwhelmed at the moment, with having to take care of the kids but finds time to harmlessly flirt with Lee.

Lee shows up at the house when Bill is running late for work. Lucy welcomes him inside and explains that he was beaten half to death by coolies last night. Lucy is very much upset, noting that the head of the squad shouldn't have to work the night shift and asks where was Lee, who backs up Bill's claim to have been working the night shift.

Lucy brings Lee something to eat and asks why he's on her porch with a shotgun, presumably at Bill's request. Lee claims it's simply a precaution, as they have been investigating the tong wars. However, Lee is a terrible liar and she sees through his lie. When Bill finally returns home, Lucy asks for help with the kids, but he is exhausted and asks for some time to rest and tells Lucy that he took care of everything, even if she isn't convinced.

Lucy checks in on Bill, who is clearly having a hard time. She asks if it is like the last time. He explains that it's worse. When Lucy met him, she thought, "There's a man who might be difficult. He might even be an arse from time to time. But he will always keep me safe." It's why she married him and makes him promise that he's going to fix this. She then kisses Bill and tells him that she loves him.

### Visiting Lee in the hospital

Lucy and Bill visit Lee in the hospital after she was attacked and put in a coma by the Fung Hai. Lucy tells Bill that he can't keep spending a night here and that he needs to come home, but Bill retorts that Lee has no one else to watch over him. Lucy understands and hands Bill some food. She then kisses Lee on the forehead and tells him to wake up on his own time.

### Growing suspicious of Bill's income

Bill returns home with steak for Lucy to prepare, but this isn't the first time, and it's quite expensive, which hasn't gone unnoticed by Lucy. She suspects that he's been to the gambling tables, but he insists that he hasn't. He claims it's from the owner of a nearby slaughterhouse, who gives him free steak after Bill got rid of a couple thugs.

Bill and Lucy have sex, and she jokes that she enjoys not having to have to do all the work around the house for a change. Last time they had sex like that, Bill gave her twins, she remarks. Bill then gifts her an expensive necklace, leading her to question where he's getting all this money from. Bill claims that he's simply been working a couple extra shifts. She isn't convinced, but she wants Bill to know that she doesn't need jewelry or steak. All she needs is for her husband to come home after every shift.

### Attacked by the Fung Hai

Lucy and Bill invite Lee over for dinner, during which she tells Lee how much she appreciates him watching Bill's back. She feels a lot better when he's not out there alone. She hopes that he should consider himself family by now, as they certainly do. Not long after Lee heads home, they are attacked by the Fung Hai. They hold a knife to Ethan's throat, and just as they're about to kill him, Lee returns guns blazing, shooting Ethan's would-be killer in the head before going after the other two inside. Lucy even assists, breaking a vase over his head and blinding the warrior attacking Lee. Meanwhile, Bill fights with the other attacker on the staircase. He eventually manages to get a hold of a knife and stab him. However, the remaining warrior then goes after Bill and nearly kills him until Lucy shoots him in the head.

A carriage arrives to get Lucy and the kids out of town. Lucy demands to know why the Fung Hai came to their home, but Bill doesn't answer. She gets in the carriage and says that she needs to get as far away from Bill as possible. She killed a man to save him. He's made her a murderer.

### Returning home

Lucy returns home after she heard about the riot and wanted to make sure he was okay. That said, she doesn't intend to come back, at least not immediately. Bill explains that he never intended for this to happen. He went out there with the intent of doing good, but at some point, it stopped being an option. A better man would've made better choices, but he thinks he can still be that man and pleads with Lucy not to leave him.
