HISTORY:

When Lucy was little, she was always smiling and laughing. Her constant laughing gave her the nickname "Ridere" which means laugh. Although, when Lucy was 2 years old, her father perished from a deadly disease that was incurable. Lucy was far too young to remember any of this, so any memory of her father is just a blur.

At age 10, Lucy's older brother Michael went missing. All of his belongings where gone, so one could only assume he had run away. Since Lucy and him were close, Lucy was devastated. She dived into a serious depression, feeling abandoned and alone. "Ridere" was gone, and she wasn't sure she would ever come back unless her brother did.

4 years later, life gave Lucy another dose of pain. Her mother died while in the forest. She had been mistaken for a deer by a hunter, and was instantly shot in the neck with an arrow. Only making the depression worse, Lucy could barely get out of bed in the morning. She didn't know how she could ever go on. Life was just not on her side, and nothing was working out for her.

Now an orphan, Lucy was living on the streets. She sold flowers, making an average of 2 coins a week. On the brink of starvation, Lucy realized something. Just because she was in a tough situation, didn't mean she had to be miserable all the time. Putting a smile back on her face, Lucy began to feel better. She laughed and played liked she did back when she was younger. Despite the fact that she was an orphan on the street, Lucy was happier than ever.

When Lucy was 18, she swapped the job of selling flowers and took up the occupation of a street performer. She sings for crowds in different cities all of the country, making quite a bit of money doing so.

PERSONALITY:

Lucy loves the outdoors. She tends to roam the forests, only going into the city to perform or find an Inn to sleep in. And of course, the animals are included in this. Because of Lucy's soft demeanor, animals aren't afraid to come near her. She frequently can be found feeding squirrels and relaxing with a doe in the sunlight.

Since Lucy is a performer, she loves crowds and being in the spotlight. She tends to need more attention than other people, feeling alone and abandoned easily. Still, she loves to sing and frankly, is quite good at it.

Other than singing, Lucy does have a few other talents. She loves archery, and carries a bow and pack of arrows with her wherever she goes. Unless of course, she is going into town, then she usually hides them in the bushes somewhere she'll remember. Another skill Lucy has, is flexibility. Lucy can bend and twist her body into the weirdest ways, which her brother used to say looked "unnatural". Still, this ability helps Lucy with her Archery.

FLAWS:

Lucy is a little...too caring. She doesn't think of herself much, so she could be starving to death and be feeding someone who didn't need it. As long as the other person is happy, Lucy is happy.

Lucy also has a tendency to think negatively about herself. She doesn't think highly of herself, and hates it when people compliment her. Her insecurities sometimes get in the way of her singing, preventing her from performing every now and then.

Despite the fact she's blonde, Lucy has a red-headed temper. Yet, Lucy only cares if someone is bagging on someone who isn't herself. If a person told Lucy she were ugly, she wouldn't care, because she believes it. Though if she walked by someone telling another they were ugly, then she'd flip out. And when she's mad, she can't control what she says, so you never know what to expect.

APPEARANCE:

Lucy usually wears this. She doesn't wear shoes, for she doesn't own them. Besides she wouldn't want them anyhow.

Lucy has thick, wavy blonde hair that goes down and inch or two past her shoulders. It's layered style compliments her pale green eyes and long lashes. When she was younger, Lucy was pale as a ghost. As she matured, she tanned slightly, becoming a tan-ish ivory color. Her curved build also compliments her height.

HEIGHT: 5'9
WEIGHT: 146 lbs.
EYE COLOR: Olive Green
HAIR COLOR: Blonde
SKIN TONE: Tanned Ivory
HOME: Lucy pretty much just wanders, singing and carrying around her bow and arrow.
FAMILY:

Lucy never knew her father. He died when she was just an infant. Her mother, on the other hand, was one to whom she was very close. She loved her mom, and they did everything together. Although, when Lucy as 14, her mother was mistaken for a deer by a hunter, and struck right in the neck with an arrow.

Lucy and her brother Michael, were probably closer than Lucy was to her Mother. They laughed all the time and had a whole lot of fun. Michael taught Lucy a great deal in Archery, which soon became one of Lucy's favorite hobbies. Her brother then went missing when Lucy was 10, and his current location is unknown.

SIGNIFICANTS:

Lucy carries around a bow and arrow. The bow was hand carved by her brother, so it has deep sentimental value. The arrows Lucy makes. She gets feathers from the forest floor and uses her dagger to carve rocks into the arrow heads. And yes, she did learn all this from her brother.

PLOTS:

I was thinking that eventually she would find her brother. Maybe someone could make a character app for him or something.

Also, I would like for Lucy to find a romance. That would be fun :]

OTHER:

Not that I can think of.
