Editing Lucy Ellingson (section)

==Personality==
Rarely shows fear or weakness.<ref>Her friend was quiet, alert, and tense.  Lucy’s whole thing was showing no fear, no weakness. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/09/lost-for-words-1-1/ excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.1]]</ref>

She likes horror movies,<ref>“I ''love'' horror films,” the Fox told him. “But I wouldn’t want to live in one.” - https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/10/17/back-away-5-c/</ref> and misses sarcasm as a practitioner.<ref>“I’ve <em>really</em> missed sarcasm,” the Fox said. “Hearing this really drives that home.” - https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/10/17/back-away-5-c/</ref>

Lucy feels a strong sense of responsibility and protectiveness. Of the three [[Pale]] protagonists, she's the one who is most driven to solve the [[Carmine Beast]] mystery,<ref>“It’s a starting point, if we’re looking for sets of suspects,” Lucy murmured. “Even if we don’t know what it means.”<br><br>“Edith but not Matthew?” Verona asked.<br><br>“There’d be a lot of questions. The how. How it came together. What roles they had. If anyone outside was involved,” Lucy said. “Choir ritual is tonight.”<br><br>“Let’s hope it goes okay,” Avery said.<br><br>“For the participants, yeah,” Lucy agreed. “And that we get our chance to ask some questions.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/08/11/out-on-a-limb-3-9/ excerpt] from [[Out on a Limb 3.9]]</ref> and takes the lead in organizing the investigation.<ref>“I thought you wanted more chances to be a cat and stuff.”<br><br>“Duhh!” Verona retorted. “No freaking duhh, yeah, that’s great, but also I wanted to not make you have to be the one who takes charge and manages us two. I’ve been trying to be more focused on the investigation, and keeping tabs on things, and keeping track. I’m not good at the direct stuff, so like… the thing where we don’t tell Alexander our personal info, and stuff.”<br><br>“It’s good, Ronnie.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/08/25/leaving-a-mark-4-3/ excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.3]]</ref> She is often concerned for the safety of her friends, and has appointed herself as their ''de facto'' guardian.
