<p>Beep Boop I&#039;m a bot!</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Lucy is the human-pronounceable name of the high hearthkeeper in office at the time of the &#039;&#039;Dewfall&#039;&#039;&#039;s arrival on Earth. She is the successor to the High Hearthkeeper who tried to once again put a stop to interstellar mission work that caused Pascal to lapse out of scandal and Iris to go in with the traditionalists among the missionaries.<br /> <br /> She was given the name Lucy at the first interspecies ecumenical conference in the City of Eternal Noon. Rather than risk offense or ridicule by picking a name herself, she asked one of the human attendees to name her. The name is likely a reference to Saint Lucy, given in honor of the Bright Way&#039;s affinity for light.<br /> <br /> I have yet to decide on her personality and outlook. There are two contrasting options:<br /> <br /> - A traditionalist who would rather lead a smaller, more faithful litter than an organization that&#039;s a mile wide and a foot deep. She sees her predecessor&#039;s attempt to suppress the missionaries as compromising the religion&#039;s identity for the sake of getting bellies on perches at the lighthouse. Ill-liked by the secular media and perhaps lacking in charisma.<br /> <br /> - A reformer who, until the &#039;&#039;Dewfall&#039;&#039;&#039;s landing is all set to finish her predecessor&#039;s work of disbanding the missionaries in order to focus on more conventional philanthropic (philocynoidic?) endeavors. Treated much more positively in the non-Wayfarer press.<br /> <br /> In either case, her priorities immediately shift to &amp;quot;holy crap we actually found someone!&amp;quot; after Earth is discovered, and, irrespective of her previous outlook, finds herself shepherding the Bright Way into a renaissance. She&#039;s the strongest advocate for humanity at Focus, and is responsible for opening Hearthside to human settlement. She&#039;s the first authority figure outside of Wayfarers&#039; Haven that has any dealings with humans, and is the figure responsible for passing so-called &#039;&#039;Ludd Laws&#039;&#039;* within both Hearthside and the Allied Worlds.<br /> <br /> \* laws that strictly limit the export of monkey fox technology to Earth, to be explained in a later post<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:People]] [[Category:Megathread Uploads]]</div>
