Book: The Lion the Witch and Wardrobe

Author: C.S. Lewis

Character: Lucy

Lucy is 8 years old and living in England during World War II. Lucy is the youngest of 4 children who are sent to the country to escape the bombs in London. We know Lucy is respectful by the way she speaks to the Professor and her older brothers and sister. She is also respectful and polite when she meets the faun, Mr Tumnus and Mr and Mrs Beaver. Lucy is also very open minded. When she first enters Narnia she is amazed but quickly accepts the situation and opens her mind to animals that talk, trees that listen and a White Witch with powers. We also know Lucy values honesty. Even when he siblings do not believe her when she describes Narnia she always tells the truth.

Later in the story Lucy is given the title; Queen Lucy the Valiant. Valiant means showing courage and determination. Lucy shows courage when she pleads with her siblings to try to rescue Mr Tumnus from the White Witch even though it is dangerous. She shows determination when she travels long distances and overcomes many obstacles to help all the creatures of Narnia be freed from the evil spell of the White Witch.
