I walked across an empty land I knew the path
like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath
my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete

personality ---
intelligent: Although most people assume the opposite on a regular basis, Lucy is in fact quite intelligent. She does a good job portraying herself as less than brilliant, however, because no one likes to be shown up by someone they think is beneath them. Rather than flaunt her ridiculous capacity to remember minute details or broadcast how many hours she spends studying, Lucy acts like she doesn’t understand everything that’s going on around her. It’s much easier to trick people into thinking you’re harmless when they think you’re too dumb to spell your own name backwards. Lucy figures it’s okay if people think she’s dumb for a while because one day soon, she’s going to show them all just how wrong they were.
obsessive: The phrase ‘If you give a mouse a cookie…’ is probably the best term to use when talking about Lucy. She’s the kind of girl who when you give her a little, she’ll want a lot. For a long time Lucy didn’t go out of her way to want or do things for herself, but when she did she went big. She takes ‘go big or go home’ to a whole new level. It’s very easy for her to take one compliment someone gives her and easily twist the words to make herself feel as though she’s been told she’s the most beautiful person alive. A prime example is when Lucy decided she was going to do something for herself, she set her sights so impossibly high it was almost laughable. When she decided she wanted to socialize, Lucy didn’t just aim to have a few friends and mind her own business. She had to go and try to make herself as well-known as kids her age who have been part of prominent families for years. It’s true Lucy is aware of what’s going on around her, but she did grow up in such a reclusive way that many adults thought she was mute. This has undoubtedly had its side effects on her personality and it’s rather easy for Lucy to seem out of touch with reality. She always thinks she’s in control, but half the time she’s only fooling herself.
charismatic: She isn’t so much charming and friendly as she is just able to talk to people and make them feel at ease with her. She has a way of speaking that, although most people can sense she’s keeping them at arms-length, draws people to her. She can walk the walk and talk the talk with the Caucasians as though she’s lived among them her entire life and if you ask her for her opinion on any one person, she’s sure to give you an eerily accurate description of them (if she’s being honest), and both of these things make her a genuinely interesting person to talk to. She’s the kind of person most people can recall her name and her face, and perhaps a conversation they’ve had, but only rarely can a person pin down any one thing specific to Lucy. She likes to be the kind of person everyone has heard of, but no one really knows anything about.
inner self ---
likes -- people, her sibling, living, changing her story, blending in, joking around, keeping secrets, her puppy, living alone, lying, tea, the beach
dislikes -- her parents, making new friends, feeling like she isn’t good enough, failing, running, ice cream, cigarettes, bad authors, bad people, being sympathetic, psychology, people knowing her secrets
secrets & aspirations -- Secret #1: Lucy moved from France at nine as a flee from her parents that constantly fought. She didn't think to take her sister, and left her to defend for herself. And until recently, the hate each other, and hardly ever socialize with each other. Especially since her sister (Marion) moved to Ehu.
Secret #2: Lucy is boy shy. She wouldn't be able to have long conversations with a boy she thought was cute. She'd make a run for it.
Goal #1: Lucy wants to became best friends with her sister again. She desperately wants Marion to talk to her, and is afraid to make the first "move"
Goal #2: To become a journalist or writer of some sort. Lucy likes to write out how she feels, and she doesn't mind sharing her opinions, and life to people she'd never even met before. She loves writing about herself, and everything around her, down to the feathered pen she holds.
favorite place to be -- The Coast
history ---
Lucy grew up in a small French home with her twin sister Marion. She had always been rather clingy to Marion, and the two were the best of friends. In the past, Lucy was more bold, cunning, and manipulative. She would set her parents up for an argument, and whine about it later. She hate that they were always fighting, but for some reason she found humor in it.
It had eventually gotten bad. Lucy was growing tired of messing with her parents mind, and they had began fighting on their own. One night, Lucy had spoken to Marion about leaving Germany to the Americas. Marion thought she wasn't serious, and laughed her off.That morning, Lucy wasn't in her room, and she was gone. Along with a lot of her clothes. She had really done it? She left on her own? Marion was left alone with their parents until she turned eighteen and moved out to find her sister. Once she found her, Lucy immediately apologized, and claimed that she was a changed person now.
Lucy was what you call a troubled child. It's no wonder that she now wants everyone to be best friends. Lucy now wants to express free love, frugality, and voluntary poverty.
