==About Lucy==
 
-
Lucy walks into the wardrobe simply because she loves the smell and feel of fur. Little does she know that this would lead her and her siblings to embark upon fantastic adventures. Lucy is known for her courage and unwavering trust in [[Aslan]], and has more individual encounters with the Great Lion than any other character in the Chronicles. Perhaps the most memorable meeting between them was when they were reunited in ''Prince Caspian''. Here, Lucy tells [[Aslan]] that she will do as He asks and tell the others to follow him, and the Lion tells her, "Now you are a lioness." In ''The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'', after reciting the spell to make things visible, Lucy is surprised to see that [[Aslan]] had become visible behind her. Later, as an albatross leads the Dawn Treader out of the horrors of the Dark Island, no one save Lucy hears it whisper, "Courage, dear heart" in [[Aslan]]'s voice.

Lucy's name has two possible origins. The town called Narni in Italy (which was once called Narnia) is the birthplace of a popular local saint known as "Blessed Lucy of Narnia." C. S. Lewis's goddaughter was Lucy Barfield, to whom he dedicated ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.'' However, the character was modeled after Jill Flewett, a girl who lived with Lewis for a time during World War II. Flewett was a diligent girl, and Lewis and his brother soon grew to love her. She went on to study drama and become an actress, and remained friends with Lewis for the rest of his life.

[[File:3774.jpg|left]]Lucy is one of seven friends of Narnia whom King [[Tirian]] sees in a vision. Later, she is sitting in a train in England with her parents, Professor [[Digory Kirke]], "Aunt" [[Polly Plummer|Polly]], [[Eustace Clarence Scrubb|Eustace]], and [[Jill Pole|Jill]], when a railway accident occurs. Lucy and the others then meet [[Tirian]] inside a Narnian stable, where she helps to explain to him the events that had occurred. She also tries to convince a group of miserable Dwarfs that they were not really in a dirty old stable as they falsely believed. Lucy is moved to tears when night falls on Narnia and the stable door is closed forever. She goes "further up and further in" through the new world with the other friends of Narnia, and is reunited with [[Tumnus]] the Faun in Aslan's Country.

"That’s what I like the most about her is she’s like me a lot." — Georgie Henley
"That’s what I like the most about her is she’s like me a lot." — Georgie Henley
"Georgie Henley was just um, I knew from the moment I saw her tape that she was Lucy and I had looked at a lot of children by that stage. It was a moment where she was just so believable in her very first audition. She really takes on the role, she feels the character and she just goes with it. So to direct she’s incredible, she just this imaginative, funny, the wittiest nine-year-old I’ve ever met and just all those things I wanted Lucy to be." — Director Andrew Adamson
