Lucy Pevensie

"*To the Glistening Eastern Sea, I give you Queen Lucy - The Valiant.*"
—**Aslan**

**Lucy Pevensie** is one of the Queens of Narnia under the Pevensie reign, alongside her siblings Queen Susan Pevensie, King Peter Pevensie, and King Edmund Pevensie. Lucy was the youngest of the Pevensie siblings, and was the first to discover Narnia. Lucy is known as an expert markswoman and swordswoman, and is the most faithful and devout of her siblings. Lucy's bravery has come in handy many times while serving and protecting Narnians, and was one of the most defining aspects of her reign. During The Golden Age, Lucy married Aniza Kicklighter, and the pair had two children. Lucy came to Narnia three times throughout her life, and returned to Aslan's Country after her death resulting from an accident on British Railways.

## Personality

Lucy was the most faithful and devout out of the four Pevensie siblings, which was the reason for her being capable of seeing Aslan when her siblings were unable to, and why she never stopped believing in Narnia. She is also a lover of animals, and therefore could easily become good friends with the many creatures of Narnia.

Lucy could be as brave and adventurous as her oldest brother, Peter, as evidenced by her once saying to Father Christmas that she believed she was brave enough to participate in battles. One of her most commendable virtues was her intense desire to help those in need, which explains the gift she received from Father Christmas: the magical cordial with which she uses to heal anyone that is either sick or injured. Another praiseworthy virtue of hers would be her kind and loving heart, which enabled her to forgive anyone who is truly repentant: though she was often teased by her older brother, Edmund, and was called "a liar" more than once by her siblings, she came to forgive them after they sincerely apologized for their errors.

However, as idealistic and childlike as Lucy is, she could be witty and even sarcastic at times. For instance, while helping Prince Caspian, she once said that girls "never keep a map in their head" "because our heads have something inside them". As she inevitably matured, she could also be insecure about her looks, as seen during her voyage on the Dawn Treader, when she was tempted to use a spell to become more beautiful than her older sister, Susan, and only came back to her senses through Aslan's intervention.

Lucy was afraid of insects. She preferred going barefoot over wearing shoes: when she and her siblings first appeared in Narnia during the War of Deliverance, she was the first to take off her shoes (and later, she was reluctant to put them back on), and when she sailed with Caspian X to the end of the world, she contentedly went barefoot both on board ship and walking across the island of Felimath.

Lucy does tend to be overly compassionate, even toward evil ones, regardless of their vile deeds. For instance, while discussing what to do with the captive Rabadash, she regarded him simply as "foolish Rabadash", rather than the ruthless man he was - who sought to take her sister by force and ignited a war without provocation. She suggested to let him go free on the promise of fair dealing in the future.  During The Last Battle, she felt sorry for the treacherous dwarves who maliciously killed the talking horses, and chided Eustace for calling them "swines". She never bothered to ask Eustace why he loathed them and even begged Aslan tearfully to do something for "those poor dwarfs" - which they were not.

## Biography

### Early Life

Lucy Pevensie was born in *London, England* in 1932, and was the youngest of four children. She grew up in London with her 3 elder siblings Peter, Susan, and Edmund and her parents Ivor and Helen until World War II began, and her father was called away to war.

In 1940, the Blitz of World War II began, and Lucy and her siblings - along with all the children in big cities - were evacuated to the countryside for their safety. The Pevensie siblings took up residence with Professor Digory Kirke. The professor's house was supervised by Cindy Macready, who was Digory's housekeeper and a very strict woman who kept many rules for the children to follow. The children often kept to themselves, wishing for the war to be over so they could return home. Though the land the professor owned was massive, it was often raining outside, leaving the children to quietly amuse themselves in the house.

One day, while playing hide and seek with her siblings, Lucy discovered a spare room containing a wardrobe. Lucy only intended to hide in the wardrobe from her siblings, but as she kept creeping back inside to hide amongst the coats, Lucy discovered pine needles touching the tips of her fingers. She soon found herself in a snowy wood, containing a lamp post, where a Faun soon arrived, who introduced himself as Mr. Tumnus. He explained to her that she had entered the world of Narnia, and invited her to his home for tea.
