"NO!" Lucy remembers a familiar, young girl shouting out. "Let me go!" Before she could understand anything, she sees her only sister get taken away.

Blood was cast on the village. Faint cries were heard, from parents who lost their children. Not all children were captured. Like Lucy.
"Bye Mama, Papa," a faint whisper said into a room that was barely cleaned. But at least it still had a bed for two married couple, who's about to lose another child of theirs.

The young girl set out to find her lost sister. She travelled and travelled from villages to villages. Nothing. But then she ran into an older boy.
"Watch where you're going!" The boy yelled.
"I-I'm sorry," Lucy said. She was about to leave until the boy stopped her.
"Sorry. Are you new here?" He asked. Lucy finally looked at the boy fully. He only looked 1 or 2 years older than herself. Black, raven hair seemed to catch the newly fallen snow. With grey eyes like the clouded sky, she couldn't help but smile at the thought of him being able to create snow that's falling down. "It's just... I never have seen a red-haired girl before."
"Y...yes?" she answered slowly.
"Well, sorry for that," he apologised, "my name is Gray, Gray Fullbuster."
"Um... Lucy."
"No last name?"
"Wh-what that?" Lucy asked. She was only able to learn small bits here and there throughout her life, which wasn't that long.
"It's um... It's like another name. But it's the same as your parents." Gray tried to explain.

Soon, Lucy was able to at least understand that Gray wanted her to come along with him. Once they reached a house, Gray opened the door and say 'I'm home!' Lucy was able to be accepted into their family, so she stayed. Some years passed, and the girl's hair has grown longer, and she didn't wear too many clothes. She kept on saying 'it's too hot in them' or any other excuses.

But Lucy didn't stop thinking about her sister. Now only remembering her in bits, like her hair and, faintly, her face. She then decided to carry on her journey. The Fullbuster family wasn't aware of her plan until she messily wrote a goodbye letter that was found by one of them the next morning.

Upon the snowy mountains, Lucy found Ur and Lyon. She trained with them for a few months, until saying goodbye to them. Lucy, now knowing ice magic, was able to protect herself if trouble came around, and it did.

Layla Heartifilla found Lucy one day. The poor woman couldn't give birth, but both she and her husband was glad enough to adopt Lucy. The girl in question, felt like she needs to settle down, that she was too young to do any of this now. So she accepted. And she was happy.

Lucy, who's now blonde, received her first celestial key, a Rose Gold in fact. But then Layla died. Of course, both Lucy and Jude were devastated. But the young girl was able to recover after a few years, while Jude did not. He ignored the girl, only getting more workaholic. 16-year-old Lucy finally left the Heartifilla household. Ran away. And back in search for her lost sister. After all of this time, the young woman only remembered that her sister had a rose-like hair.
