*Lucy Pevensie* is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis's
"The Chronicles of Narnia
"series. She is the youngest of the four Pevensie children, and the first to find the Wardrobe entrance to Narnia
in"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
". Of all the Pevensie children, Lucy is the closest to Aslan
. Also, of all the humans who have visited Narnia, Lucy is perhaps the one that believes in Narnia the most. She is ultimately crowned "Queen Lucy the Valiant", co-ruler of Narnia along with her two brothers and her sister. Lucy is the central character of the four siblings in the novels. Lucy is a principal character in three of the seven books ("The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
", "Prince Caspian
", and "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
"), and a minor character in two others ("The Horse and His Boy
" and "The Last Battle
").
Lucy is portrayed by Georgie Henley
in the 2005 film "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
"and she returned to reprise her role in the 2008 film "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
".[1]
Georgie's elder sister, Rachael Henley, portrays the older Queen Lucy at the end of the first film. Georgie Henley also reprised her role in the 2010 film "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
", which is the third of the film series.
The character of Lucy Pevensie was inspired by June Flewett
,[2]
a devout Catholic London girl evacuated
by her convent to The Kilns
, Lewis
' country home in 1942.[3]
Lucy is described in the book as being fair-haired: "But as for Lucy, she was always gay and golden-haired, and all princes in those parts desired her to be their Queen, and her own people called her Queen Lucy the Valiant."[4]
Lucy was the most faithful of the four and never stopped believing in Narnia. She and her brothers Peter and Edmund, after dying in a train crash in England, were transported to Aslan's Country with the other Narnians.
