Lucette is the daughter of Lumiere and Plumette, but as a child, neither she, her brother, or her friends could correctly pronounce her name. Thus she was nicknamed Lucy, and the name just stuck.
Lucette was born on April 17th. Her brother Luc ( @illumintes ) was born in August of the year before. However, all their lives, despite Luc having a different mother, the two were told that they were twins. Once when they questioned it, Lumiere merely threw his hands up into the air and said: ❝ What are you saying? Look at your names! How can you be anything else? ❞
This girl has much of her father’s fire, but not as much of her mother’s patience. She was known, when she was young, for running throughout the grounds and hiding from her parents, from Mrs. Potts, from everyone. She would make messes, get into trouble, and climb all the trees she could find.
As stated above, this girl is as fiery as the candles burned by her father during the years he lived under the curse. As such, she has a somewhat fiery temper. Whenever anyone would upset her, she would immediately storm off to her brother’s room. With all the patience she lacked, he would sit and listen to her troubles while braiding her hair, and she would keep those braids in until those troubles dissipated.
Luc is her brother. Her twin. No matter what blood, biology, or any person tells them. She will fight anyone who challenges her on this.
Lucy knew many of the royal children that came to visit the King and Queen of Auradon. She grew up with them as she grew up with Ben. One of these was Audrey, the daughter of Aurora and Phillip ( @slumberbabe ). And despite a few differences in their personalities, the two were as thick as thieves, often sneaking to each other’s rooms late at night, usually (in Lucy’s case) with treats snagged from the kitchen.
She has two favourite foods, that, whenever the chef at the palace would make it, she’d always snag a bite or a taste and then run. Duck a l’orange, and pomme dauphinoise. Though if you put anything chocolate in front of her, she wouldn’t refuse it.
Given her parent’s relationship to Belle and Adam, and the close proximity afforded by their position in the royal household, it is likely that Lucy grew up with Ben. The King and Queen have in their own way become like second parents. Most of the castle was like a family to her, as they were already like a family to each other.
Growing up, Lucette idolised her parents. Especially her mother. Plumette was kind, beautiful, graceful, and was the one woman who could tame her father’s theatrics. She made him melt. Their love was something that a young Lucy (and even a much older one) always fantasised about finding for herself.
Lucy tends to think of Belle as a second mother. In fact, given her parents’ social/societal positions barred them from higher educations, it was Belle who taught Lucy to read, albeit very patiently. A full headcanon collaboration ( w/ @foundwithin ) will possibly be coming out about this at some point.
