Lucy (Elfen Lied)

Lucy (ルーシー Rūshī?) is a fictional character from the anime and manga series Elfen Lied. She is a teenage diclonius mutant girl roughly 18 years old. Due to brain damage she suffers at the beginning of the series, "Lucy" develops an infantile split personality dubbed "Nyu" because that is initially the only word she can say. "Nyu" means "milk" in Japanese, and so her name can be considered a form of wordplay, seeing as how milk itself is neutral and soft. Each side of "Lucy", her murderous, mature "Lucy" side and her benign "Nyu" personality, are treated as effectively two different characters in the series. Both characters are voiced by Sanae Kobayashi in the Japanese version, and by Kira Vincent-Davis in the official English dub.
