Lucie Herondale, The overlooked one and the strongest
I am happy to see many more people who recognize the value of Lucie's character, her impetuousness and bravery that surpasses the prejudice of "being the good girl or the little sister" she is independent and has a lot to prove. Like James or worse (being a woman at that time) she has suffered from attacks on her person because of her blood, only that she doesnāt highlight or mention them, she prefers to save those comments and see the positive side of things.
Lucie through the years and the support of her loved ones:
Matthew Fairchild: Cast Long Shadows, Ghosts of the Shadowmarket:
There had been no question of Lucie attending Shadowhunter Academy. She had never demonstrated any abilities like Jamesās, but the world was cruel enough to women who were even suspected of being the least bit different.
āLucie Herondale is a sweet child, but with her disadvantages, who would marry her?ā Lavinia Whitelaw had asked Matthewās mama once over tea.
āI would be happy if either of my sons wished to,ā said Charlotte, in her most Consul-like manner.
Matthew thought James was very lucky to have Lucie.
James Herondale: Nothing but Shadows, Tales from the Shadowhunters Academy
Now it would be worse, now people would whisper that she had passed on the taint to her children. People would say horrible things about Lucie, James knew--about his scribbling, laughing little sister. Lucie could never be allowed to come to the Academy.
Cordelia Carstairs: Fallen with the Night, Chain of Gold.
āI do not wish to raise hopes that may come to nothing,ā said LucieĀ āBesidesĀ they might feel they needed to tell some of the others, and I ā I have been told that being sought out by ghosts is not an appealing trait in a young woman.ā
Cordelia caught at LucieĀ“s hand with her own bandaged one.Ā āTell me who said that to you. I will kill themā.
Lucie sniffled and then laughed.
Lucie Herondale: No strange Land, Chain of Gold
Lucie had been almost ten years of before sheād realized āwhen Rosalind and Pierd Wentworth had laughed at herā that most girls didāt hace a pestering ghost friend.
Cordelia Carstairs: The Damned Earth, Chain of Iron
She had never thought closely about how eerie it must be for Lucie, for James, to be able to see the dead. They were not simply insubstantial people. They were very alien indeed.
Lucie hadn't shown any indication of her power when she was little, but she was already discriminated against for being different. Now that she has understood the scope of it, it worries me what the Clave fans can do, it only remains to wait for those who supported her all these years to be on her side again. Long live Lucie Herondale.
