The Prop Story : The youngest Pevensie, Lucy is a trusting, open child with an unshakable belief in the goodness of things. Her enthusiasm and innocent hope win over Mr. Cummus, making possible her family's entrance into Narnia - and beginning the end of the Hundred Year Winter. Whereas her older siblings are reluctant to dive headfirst into the magical world inside the wardrobe, Lucy is unafraid.
Lucy is also sensitive, perhaps magically so. She has the closest connection to Aslan, heeding his wisdom and understanding his sadness. It is Lucy who feels the most pain when he is called to make the ultimate sacrifice. Finally, though she is willing to fight, Lucy will be called upon to heal Edmund of his wounds with her magic vial, and very literally healing her once-fractured family.
