I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
I am a wunderkind
and I live the envelope pushed far enough to believe this
I am a princess on the way to my throne
destined to serve, destined to roam

NAME: Lucy Pevensie
ALSO KNOWN AS: Lu, Queen Lucy the Valiant
DATE OF BIRTH: February 24, 1932
AGE/YEAR WHEN DISPLACED: 17/1949
ALIGNMENT: Good
MARITAL STATUS: Single

Name
LUCY: Latin, meaning "light"; the town called Narni in Italy (which was once called Narnia) is the birthplace of a popular local saint known as "Blessed Lucy of Narnia"
Expression Number 7: People with this name are excellent at analyzing, understanding, and learning. They tend to be mystics, philosophers, scholars, and teachers. Because they live so much in the mind, they tend to be quiet and introspective, and are usually introverts. When presented with issues, they will see the larger picture. Their solitary thoughtfulness and analysis of people and world events may make them seem aloof, and sometimes even melancholy.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Sweet, kindhearted, courageous
PERSONALITY: Lucy is in possession of an unshakable faith in many things and many people. Though she is hard pressed to believe it, even now after doing things that have proved it, she is quite courageous, whether that courage ties directly in to her faith in Aslan and others or is simply just the result of knowing something must be done.

She is far from meek and can be quite snappy with comebacks, though usually her words are kind. In normal sibling rivalry she is far from innocent, but balances well between biting her tongue and saying what she is thinking. However, she is prone to open displays of emotion and has always been easily led to tears when upset.

A unique part of her personality is that she grew to her twenties and then found herself eight years old again, forced to grown up all over again. It was a battle a times, the young woman inside with the small girl outside and it was a source of frustration to be treated as a child when she remembered being not only an adult, but a queen. However, she did grow up again and with the experience of two times at each age after eight, often gives off the air of someone far more mature than her physical age.

She is not religious in the traditional sense, as she does not attend church regularly (or in a congregation when she does) or identify with any particular religion, but her faith in a power greater than humankind is assured because of knowing Aslan. In knowing him as she did, one on one in a way most Narnians did not, her faith is very private, so her visits to churches are as well. In these visits to churches, she has spoke to more than one man of God, never about her experiences in detail but in general terms, and it has often helped her to feel temporarily at peace. She still pines quietly for Narnia, despite knowing she is not meant to return, but she has come to believe that the other name Aslan meant them to know him by in their world has been found when she spends her time privately in church. She still believes she will find him in this world as she knew him in Narnia.

CHILDHOOD HOME: London, England
HISTORY: The last of four children, Lucy Pevensie was born with no awareness of what life had in store for her. For many years, she was simply a normal little girl and the most momentous thing in her life was the start of the Second World War. That was, however, far from the last of momentous things. During the Blitz she, with her other three siblings, was sent off to the country, as were many other children of the era to avoid the bombings. Their temporary safe haven was the home of Professor Diggory Kirke and it was in this house that Lucy's life changed forever at the mere age of eight, as one afternoon while exploring the old house, she discovered a backless wardrobe that led to another world entirely.

Beyond fur coats and mothballs she found a snow-covered country called Narnia, held frozen for years by Jadis, now known to the Narnians as the White Witch, and met her first Narnian creature, a faun named Tumnus. Though he took her back to his home originally with the intent to follow the orders he was under to alert the White Witch to the presence of any humans in Narnia, he was moved by meeting Lucy and helped her to return home without being captured. This would be Lucy's first experience with the strange way Narnian time and her own world's time moved, for when she returned, no time had passed at all. Peter, Susan and Edmund did not believe a word of her story and for many days Lucy was miserable, unable to enjoy the fun they had been having when the others thought her to be lying.

However, while playing hide and seek, Lucy once again went within the wardrobe and found it open to Narnia. This time Edmund followed, having his own adventure of sorts before they found each other after Lucy took tea with Tumnus again. Certain now Peter and Susan would have to believe, she eagerly returned to fetch them, only to have Edmund lie about all of it. Certain now it had been no dream, she would hear nothing about it not being true. Her faith was soon proved as, one day while needing to hide from a group of sightseers, all four had to hide within the wardrobe. It was then the world of Narnia was revealed to them and with it, Edmund's lie. They soon discovered that Tumnus had been arrested and Lucy, blaming herself for this, insisted they help him.

This was how they met Mr and Mrs Beaver, who told them not only about Tumnus, but about Aslan as well and, perhaps more startling, the prophecy that made them destined to be kings and queens. Yet before Lucy could truly process the enormity of it, they realized Edmund had disappeared and it was then they learned the likely truth of his first visit. Though finding him was the first thought of the three Pevensies, the Beavers insisted they go to meet Aslan as planned and so Lucy, with Peter, Susan and the Beavers, started out across a snow-covered Narnia. Soon they discovered the White Witch's magic had already begun to fail, for they met Father Christmas along the way, a man who had been kept from Narnia for the length of the long years of winter. Lucy was given two gifts from him – a cordial contained in a diamond bottle, made from the juice of the fire-flowers that grow in the mountains of the sun and able to heal almost any injury instantly, and a small dagger, meant only to be used in a time of great need. Even as this occurred, the snow had begun to melt in earnest and by the time they arrived at the Stone Table, winter was long gone.

It was there Lucy encountered Aslan for the first time, and though hearing his name alone had made her have that 'first-day-of-hols' feeling, it was nothing compared to truly meeting him. It was also there that a battle of several counts was soon fought, for the White Witch demanded Edmund's life as her right as a traitor. She and Aslan made a pact that Lucy was to understand far more clearly later, but not right away, as the the group of Narnian's moved their camp to the Fords of Beruna not long after. During the journey and then after camp was set up, Lucy worried for Aslan, who had seemed far from right to her mind – not that she had known him long, nor knew him well, but his change in mood had been noted and for the rest of their times together throughout the years, she often sensed his moods, however slight the change. Encouraging Susan to come with her after each discovered the other awake that night, they went outside to find Aslan.

Find him they did, and the two followed Aslan for some time before he spoke, then they made the journey with him, strangely right back to the Stone Table. He bade them to stay back and they did, but in the concealment of the bushes Lucy, and Susan, witnessed all that befell him at the hand of the White Witch. Aslan was dead, and horrifically so. In their grief, they were unwilling to leave him the rest of the night, leading to them tending to him and, with a group of mice, removing his restraints. It was only as they walked to the edge of the hill the next morning that a thunderous crack came from behind them and they found the Stone Table broken and Aslan's body gone – not from further indignities as they fear, but his rebirth due to a deeper magic from beyond the dawn of time in Narnia that allowed him his life for his sacrifice to save Edmund.

After a joyful reunion, Lucy and Susan accompanied Aslan to free those imprisoned in the White Witch's palace and join the battle. Aslan defeated the White Witch and, after Edmund was healed by Lucy's cordial, the four were crowned the Kings and Queens of Narnia, marking the fulfillment of the prophecy. During her reign she came to be known as Queen Lucy the Valiant and, though quite lovely as she grew, was often involved in the more 'masculine' aspects of ruling a country, such as fighting in and planning battles, enough so that Prince Corin of Archeland remarked at least once that she was "as good as a man, or at any rate as good as a boy". Narnia prospered under them and the story of their arrival and crowning became one often told*.
[*Though in the last chapter of LWW, Lewis as the narrator claims they only remembered their former lives as if remembering a dream, the events in HHB, with Lucy telling the tale and everyone knowing it so well and the years in Lewis' own timeline contradict this, as it would have been strange for them to forget everything in the space of a year.]

The end of their reign came abruptly one fateful day while out hunting the famed White Stag, a creature who supposedly granted wishes. They came upon the lamppost and though Susan counseled caution, Lucy, Peter and Edmund wished to go beyond it. However, when the four stumbled back through the wardrobe into their one world again, they found themselves changed, back at the ages they had been so many years ago, but the world they had left unchanged entirely as no more than a few minutes had passed. Try as she might to get back, and she did, Narnia was no longer accessible to Lucy or the rest through the wardrobe. The memories did not fade, so the adjustment period in returning to her younger body with her adult experiences was somewhat difficult, but Lucy tried to be a young, seemingly ordinary girl again as best as she knew how, and waited for the chance to return to Narnia.

That came one long year later when, with her three siblings, she was once more pulled back, but as they had once found time moved differently from Narnia to their world, they found so again as the people and creatures and world they had known was a thousand years in Narnian past. There was a new battle here, one again to put the rightful ruler one the throne, this time a boy named Caspian of a race that had come to Narnia later, but had still once been of Lucy's birth world. In the ruins of Cair Paravel, they were found by Trumpkin the dwarf who, though he had not believed in them, had come just the same to see if the call of the horn had brought them back to Narnia. He told them the story of Caspian and they told him their own story and, after a series of 'lessons' they had not only proved who they were but gained themselves a new friend. That settled, they set out to reach Caspian and held him gain his throne.

On the journey, Lucy was the first to see Aslan, but she had a difficult time making the others believe it. The second time she saw him, it was more than just briefly and after a tearful (on Lucy's part) but joyous reunion, they talked. It was because of this talk that Lucy took her stand and was willing to go on without the others. Though they did not see Aslan, her history with being right about things others could not see worked to her favour and they followed. One by one they soon saw him too before they met with Caspian and his throne was won for him. At the end of this adventure, Lucy learned Peter and Susan would not return, but she and Edmund likely still would. It was this hope she clung to as she waited for the next time.

Only one more time did Lucy return to Narnia, this time with Edmund and her, at the time, horrid cousin Eustace. It was yet another experience with time shifting so strangely, only this time it had only been a few years of Narnian time and happily there was Caspian and others she had known, including Reepicheep, one of the race of Talking Mice that came to be a thousand years ago when they gnawed the ropes that bound Aslan to the Stone Table. They found themselves not in Narnia, but aboard a Narnian ship that had sail for the lands beyond Narnia in search of Caspian's father's comrades. Throughout the voyage Lucy was patient with Eustace, who found no joy in anything until he was changed by his experience and met Aslan. This time Lucy was not the first to see Aslan, but she was the one over all the adventures of the four Pevensies to see him most often and she did see him alone later in the journey during time in a magician's home, reading a magic book full of both wonderful and terrible things, for it was she who was set to the task of releasing an invisible people from their enchantment. She was also the only one to hear his voice as they sailed through a very dark place on their journey.

Lucy, along with Edmund and Eustace, parted with Caspian in the Silver Sea, what was believed to be the last sea before Aslan's country. They, along with Reepicheep, rowed further still and eventually parted with him as well when their boat went aground in shallow water, for his desire was to reach Aslan's country. He took his own tiny craft off from them, up a wave and the disappeared. The three left the boat and went ashore at the body of land they sighted and met a Lamb, who transformed into Aslan not long after their arrival. It was there Lucy learned she would never return to Narnia, for she was too old, but that Aslan would be known to them by another name in their own world and that a way to his country existed from their own world.

The return to her world was harder for Lucy this time than the last times, for she knew she would never see her Narnia again. Thought there was camaraderie in sharing stories with those who had been there before, and learning of the new adventures of those such as Eustace and Jill, there was also sadness as Susan distanced herself further from their times in Narnia, until she thought it nothing more than silly games. Over the years, however, Lucy finally did as Aslan had said and became close to her own world, finding within it things to love as she had Narnia and finding Aslan too where he had said, though not in so many words, he would be found. She had learned part of growing closer to him was to sort out that connection herself.

The group of 'Narnia friends' met often, not only to talk about Narnia but to enjoy each other's company. It was at one such meeting that they were visited by some apparent apparition that did not speak but had a Narnian look about him. Knowing their world was once more in danger, they made a plan to send the youngest two there to help. It was during this week of time that Lucy was transported to L.A., just before the railway accident that killed her and several others, delivering them to Aslan's country for eternity.

SIGN: Pisces
Pisces is the twelfth sign of the Zodiac, and governs the feet. Positive traits include idealism, wisdom, intuition, empathy, imagination, creativity, adaptability, compassion, and an uncanny connection to all that is spiritual and otherworldly; negative traits include being easily influenced by other people, gullibility, a lack of backbone, escapism, addictive personality, impracticality, emotional game-playing, delusion, and a total inability to say "no."

SUN/MOON: Pisces Sun – Libra Moon
The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a congenial and dreamy personality that is very pleasant indeed. This combination blends the emotional sensitivity and intuitive understanding of Pisces, with the mental equilibrium, courtesy and friendliness of Libra. This yields a nature that possesses an equable temperament, seeking balance and a sense of fitness and proportion in all you do. There is nothing base, crude, earthy, ugly or terribly heavy about this personality. People respond naturally to you because you more or less exude a pleasing aura, and because you freely offer a ready ear and a bright, optimistic outlook. Even if you are not an intellectual scholar, you seem to have a very reliable sixth sense and extremely accurate perceptions. Tolerance is your ideal, and you understand much that others can't readily accept. You are not known for taking action, but rather for planning and preparing. You dislike being on a tight schedule or working under pressure. You don't put up with things that get you "up tight,"and indeed, you may lack the staying power sometimes to pull the really tough assignment through to completion. Nonetheless, you have a very optimistic attitude and you can see the "silver lining" in the clouds while others are still watching the storm. Yours is such an equable temperament, with a keen sense for harmony in sound, color and form. This is a combination that seems to naturally seek balance and harmony, with aesthetic qualities strongly marked.
