Lucy MacLean is the main protagonist of the 2024 post-apocalyptic sci-fi television series Fallout, based on the video game franchise of the same name. She is a dweller of Vault 33 who is forced to leave the Vault on a mission to save her father Hank.
She was portrayed by Ella Purnell, who also voiced Gwyndala in Star Trek Prodigy. Younger Lucy was played by Luciana VanDette.
History[]
Early Life[]
Lucy was born in Vault 33 to the Vault's overseer, Hank MacLean, who was secretly a high-level Vault-Tec executive who had been cryogenically preserved for 200 years, and his wife, Rose. When Lucy was very young, Rose discovered the existence of the New California Republic on the surface. Realizing that Hank had been lying to her, Rose took Lucy and her younger brother, Norm and fled the Vault to the NCR capital city of Shady Sands. Hank would later bring back the children to the Vault and destroy Shady Sands with an atomic bomb. Due to her young age, Lucy did not fully remember any of this, though she did have some memories of her brief time living in Shady Sands with her mother. She would later be told that her mother died due to a disease outbreak in the Vault. Lucy would be raised by Hank and would come to fully embrace Vault-Tec's mission of repopulating the surface and restarting civilization.

Personality[]
Lucy is a firm believer in the expression "do unto others as you would have done unto you", referring to the expression as the "golden rule". Because of her strong belief in the golden rule, she always tries to help people even if it involves putting herself in danger. Her belief in the golden rule extends even to her enemies, as shown when she saved The Ghoul from turning feral, despite him having previously done various cruel things to her, including cutting off one of her fingers and selling her to organ harvesters. Due to her upbringing as a Vault dweller, Lucy is initially very naive about the Wasteland but gradually comes to understand and adapt to the harsh reality of the place. Despite witnessing the cruelty of the Wasteland, Lucy refuses to compromise her code of ethics. After discovering her father's true nature, Lucy's heart has definitely become more hardened than ever.

Quotes[]
“ | My name is Lucy MacLean, and I'm an active contributor to the wellbeing of my community. Repair Skills. I enjoy participating in the Young Pipefitter's Association, which keeps me active. Science Skills. Obviously, mine are nothing compared to my dad's, but I always relish a challenge. Speech Skills. My primary passion is teaching American History, with a focus on ethics. I also participate in Gymnastics Club, Fencing Team C... Intermediate Phys Ed... and I dabble in Riflery. Though I'm not very good. In my personal time, I enjoy taking walks and watching movies with my dad, gardening… also with my dad... and participating in my family book club. We’re still trying to get my brother on board. He'll come around when he's ready. My reproductive organs are intact. My hygiene well maintained, and yet, I have been unable to find a suitable marriage partner. At least one I'm not related to. And we have rules about that for a reason. So, it is with sound mind and body that I hereby submit my application to the council to participate in the Triennial Trade with Vault 32. | „ |

“ | Lucy: Chet, what’s going on? Chet: Lucy, I love you. Lucy: We all know that, Chet. Messing around with your cousin, it’s all well and good for kids, but it’s not sustainable for long-term sexual practice, you know? |

~ Lucy to Chet |
“ | I'm going to have to ask you to leave him alone. Now, I acknowledge that I'm unfamiliar with your circumstances. But, at first glance, your treatment of this man appears unfair, and I'm obliged to intervene. Huh. Now, if your instinct is to harm me, as a person simply trying to deescalate a conflict, then I'll have to assume, of the two of you, you are likely the primary aggressor. In which case, I think everyone in this town would agree that force is justified. Unless you willingly stand down now. | „ |
~ Lucy trying to talk sensibly with the Ghoul. |
“ | Well, what does Moldaver want with you? I mean, she steals dads! | „ |
~ Lucy no longer understands anything. |
“ | Lucy: You can’t treat people like this. Ghoul: Yeah? Why's that? Lucy: Because of the golden rule. "Do unto others as you would have done unto you". Ghoul: Yeah, well, the Wasteland's got its own golden rule. Lucy: Oh? What's that? Ghoul: Thou shalt get sidetracked by bullshit every goddamn time. |

~ Lucy to Ghoul. |
“ | Lucy: Wait... why'd you do that?! He was sick! [The Ghoul flips Roger's body over] Stop! Stop, stop! Please! I... No, I know it's hard up here, but you don’t... you don’t have... you don't have to resort to... to... The Ghoul: What'd you say your name was? Lucy: Lucy MacLean. The Ghoul: MacLean? Huh. Well, Lucy MacLean, it ain't all canned peaches and marmalade left up here, sweetheart. Sometimes a fella's got to eat a fella. Lucy: You know, my vault has endured hardship, too. In the Great Plague of '77, everyone had to quarantine, they couldn't work the farms together. People starved. My mother included. My dad dropped to 128 pounds, and he still refused to do anything like this. [The Ghoul laughs] What? What's so funny? The Ghoul: Well, there's what people say they did and what they really did. I'll bet your daddy was first in line at the cookout. I bet he had a bib with a drawing of his neighbor's ass on there. Lucy: How do you live like this?! Why keep going?! The Ghoul: Well, one good question deserves another. Why the fuck am I doing all the work? Now come on, Vaultie. Ass jerky don't make itself. |

~ Lucy disgusted by The Ghoul's methods. |
“ | Lucy: You're selling me? The Ghoul: You got problems out here, too, sweetheart. Best you try your luck behind that door. Go on. |

~ Lucy |
“ | Sir, you can't do this. Please, I need my organs. | „ |
~ Lucy to Snip Snip. |
“ | That's true. Look, I... I come from a place where the world is what you make of it. Okay? It’s not like up here. We're naive down there. Up until I was six, I really thought that the big light on our farm was the sun. My mom used to take me to play out under that light, and I swear I could feel the sun baking my skin. After my mom was gone, I realized it was just her that made it all feel so real. So, like, Earth is round, Earth is flat. Where are you guys on that these days? So, you guys use prewar technology to find and collect prewar technology to make sure no one has prewar technology? | „ |
~ Lucy to Maximus. |
“ | What? Oh. You want to have sex? | „ |
~ Lucy to Maximus |
“ | Lucy: Wait. No. Not with him. Maximus: Why not with him? What do you mean? Lucy: Because it was him. He… Maximus: What? Lucy: It was him. Maximus: What was him? Lucy: He… Maximus: Lucy, what? Lucy: Shady Sands. It was him. I’m sorry. |
„ |
~ Lucy tearfully reveals to Maximus that it was her father who was responsible for the destruction of Shady Sands. |
