She also wore a large coat, a wool scarf, and a wool beanie. when she was outside.

## Characteristics

Lucy cared deeply for her mother and sister, and she was obviously affected by Shelley's death. She was sometimes exasperated by her mother's failing memory, but immediately jumped to her defense when she believed there was someone in the house.

## Background

Lucy was born some time after 1982 in a town somewhere in England. Her older sister, Shelley, was accepted into Avon Manor, a prestigious all-girl's high school on a hockey scholarship. Lucy was later accepted into Avon as well, but because of the age difference between her and Shelley it is unknown what her graduation year was.

In June of 1998, Lucy's sister was found hanging from the auditorium rafters on her class's graduation day. Though her death was ruled a suicide, she was actually murdered by three students who would regularly torment her. After her sister's death, Lucy took to caring for their mother.

## Shelley

### Season 2

#### Justice Is Served

Lucy comes home one night and Mrs. Carter asks if she's back already, referring to her by her sister's name. Lucy corrects her and asks if she wants any tea, but her mother is paying more attention to the television. She says that something terrible has happened at Lucy's old school, and Lucy goes over to see the news talking about the murders of Baker, Highgate, and Salmon. Lucy, disgusted, turns off the television and tells Mrs. Carter that she's had enough TV for one night. Later that night, Lucy is looking at a photo of her and her sister when she hears a knock at the door. She goes to the door to find an old man who asks for her by name and leaves when she answers. After closing the door, Lucy locks the door and windows.

In her bedroom, Lucy hears a light knocking on her window before she hears her mother scream. Lucy runs to her mother, who excitedly tells her that Shelley's come home. Lucy goes to look around and is confronted by Celine Beker, who is disguised as Shelley. The two women fight in the dining room, with Celine proving victorious as she hacks Lucy in the back with her field hockey stick. Lucy weakly calls for her mother as she bleeds out on the floor, unable to do anything as Celine goes into Mrs. Carter's room and kills her.

While Lucy survived being attacked by Celine, she was very likely killed when Celine set the house on fire.
