BRIEF PERSONALITY SUMMARY: Lux, when taking her medication properly, is a fairly normal teenage girl. She likes to gossip with her friends, laugh, shop, all the things someone her age should do. However, when she refuses to take her medication - and she often does, claiming it makes her head feel 'heavy' - she is entirely unpredictable. For a week straight she could be on a high, talking fast, thinking fast, and rushing through life. Then she'll crash and suddenly, the world isn't as bright and she'll feel as if there is nothing to live for. This has resulted in various suicide attempts and her addiction to cutting herself.
BIO: From the time Lucy was ten to when she was twelve, she was molested and raped by a family friend. Young and confused, she was unsure of what to do or why it was happening to her. She became withdrawn, rarely spoke to her family or friends, and would stay in her room for hours on end just drawing pictures and writing stories of a sad little princess who was rescued by the perfect little prince. Except Lucy's prince never came and instead, the family friend moved to a different state. To this day she has kept it a secret, not letting a single soul know. After years of faking a smile and pretending nothing was wrong, she finally began to crack when she started high school. It was small things at first, just laying in bed for several days at a time, claiming to be to tired or sick to attend her classes. Then she would get angry, throw things, yell for no reason at all, scream in her mother's face for the tiniest of things. It wasn't her, Lucy didn't feel in control of her own head. So she started cutting, one small gash for every moment she didn't feel in control. Finally scars covered her hips and arms. Her mother, terrified for her daughter's life, referred her to Minthill.
REFERRED BY: Lily Ryan, mother.
NOTES: Tattoo of a heart on her right ring finger. There wasn't a reason for it, Lucy just wanted it there.
