History- Born on the West Side of New York in 1941. She lived with her mom and older brother, Jackson; their dad had abandoned them after they had Lucy. Her mom worked at night, and one night, on her way home, she was mugged and killed, leaving only Lucy and Jackson. They were four and seven at the time. Jackson raised Lucy the best he could, and when he turned 17, he created a gang of boys. They called themselves the "Emeralds". Lucy tagged along with her brother, looking up to him because he was the leader of a gang now. Two years later, a new gang threatened to take over Emerald turf; the Jets, lead by Tony Wyzek and Riff Lorton. They challenged the Emeralds to a rumble, and beat them in their own turf, causing Jackson and his boys, as well as Lucy to flee to the other side of town. Lucy and the Emeralds walked tall here, and began to get big heads. When a rival gang challenged them to a rumble, they accepted arrogantly. Little did they know that this decision would be their demise. The rival gang not only beat them, but killed their leader, leaving Lucy completely alone. The Emeralds broke up, but not before they gave Lucy the beat-up, leather jacket that their leader, her brother had worn. Lucy went back to the West Side. She'd become angry, uncaring. She'd chopped off her long, red hair to shoulder-length. She now wore it slicked back like every other hood in New York. Prowling the streets like she always did one night, she was met by a group of boys that she recognized-The Jets. Diesel picked her up, and introduced her to Action, the new leader after Tony and Riff's deaths. The boys asked Action if she could join, and he agreed reluctantly after a fair amount of thought. She lived with the boys, feeling good about having a family again.
