Q & A AMA - Lucy Marie Sanchez

[Lucy]

Lucy was born to a widowed woman named Arista Sanchez, a former ACME agent who left after the tragic loss of her husband also at ACME. From an early age the girl proved she could easily escape her mom, even when adults thought they were watching her well. They moved around a lot because of her mom’s job.


She can be inquisitive but shy. Books about history, geography and fantasy are her favorites but she loves a wide array of subjects. Seeing things differently has helped her in certain situations and seems to get those around her to think from angles they didn't think of, which never ceases to surprise her mother.


When she turned 14 she joined ACME as a junior detective. She quickly became good friends with Julie Justice, who gives advice and helps her. They transferred from the same branch, so her training could continue. Animals make her feel more comfortable than people. Luna, her tuxedo cat was in need of a home, so Lucy fostered her. Luna as well as her friend Julie, help her to have the confidence to approach others.

What was Lucy's favourite book, and why?

She doesn't have a single favorite book but it would have something to do with travel, so things like National Geographic because of her love of animals, plants and new places.

[Patty]

Did Lucy ever have experiences in her childhood that changed her in a negative way? I'd like to hear about them in the form of a story, third or first person.

The babysitter closed the door and looked at the little girl before her. She knelt before Lucy and in a cheerful tone said “Hey Lucy, remember me? I’m Brandy. I heard you like Lego's” the child shyly held her teddy bear close. The teddy bear had only one eye, stuffing was coming out of its stomach, and its face was faded. At the word Legos the child perked up, and a nod with a smile appeared. They held hands as they went down the stairs to the playroom. Laughter and songs ensued awhile, before they both settled down on the couch to watch cartoons.

Suddenly there was a sound upstairs. it got quiet and then the sound happened again. Footsteps upstairs! Lucy burst into tears as Brandy sat upright from the noise. The footsteps got heavier and came from all over. Then they started down the stairs, everything happened so fast. Brandy snatched Lucy up, who was hysterical at this point and ran out the back door.

“Lucy honey it’s okay. I promise I have you. You’re safe”

But Lucy was inconsolable. “MOMMY!” she called as Brandy ran to the side of the house. The babysitter hugged the little girl letting her cry against her chest. Lucy’s heart pounded, she was becoming sweaty and was shaking uncontrollably. “I’ll protect you. Nothing’s going to happen to you” The footsteps were louder now.

Brandy jumped the small fence to the neighbor’s yard, stopped to listen a moment and then proceeded to knock on the door. The neighbor’s allowed Brandy to use the phone, cops were called and soon arrived. The perp was caught. Lucy was still hysterical when her mother arrived, and it even took awhile for her to calm her daughter.

This brought about her severe anxiety, which she still has today but this also made her want to do what her parents did and protect people when she got older.

Any particular favorite historical eras/figures, or places?

I just wanted you to know that I'm not ignoring your question, an answer is coming.

 

[Pitya Ivyr]

Is there a particular musical artist/band you like and why/what caused you to like them so much?

 

[Lucy]

She likes music from all cultures but her favorite would probably be Country. Sarah Evans and Brad Paisley are her favorite, although she does her best to hide the fact that she likes country. (I forgot to add them in the music list on another thread.) Lucy mostly listens to these two in order to ease her pain and anxiety.
