Lucy Westenra is London's sexy, social butterfly with a penchant for gossip, flirting and all things glamorous. She is the daughter of the late Minerva Westenra, the ex-girlfriend of Alastair Harvey, and the ex-best friend of Mina Murray.

Biography

Lucy is closer to none other than her best friend Mina Murray. Lucy is extremely beautiful and has captured the eyes of many men, however Lucy always acts disinterested. Lucy introduces Mina to the dregs of low society, taking her to drug dens and so forth. It soon becomes obvious that Lucy is in love with her best friend Mina. When she admits her true feelings to Mina, Mina is repulsed. Lady Jayne Wetherby gives lessons of love to the devastated Lucy in order to manipulate her and convinces her to seduce Jonathan. She succeeds and they sleep together. After this, she feels guilty and confesses to Mina. Mina tells Alexander who in anger that Lucy could hurt Mina like that, transforms her into a vampire. She then bites (and possibly turns) her mother, Minerva.

Season One

In "Goblin Merchant Men",

In "From Darkness to Light",

In "Of Monsters and Men",

Lucy has dinner with Mina and Harker, and is unimpressed by a magic trick. Lucy leaves the table and finds Jayne Wetherby, who invited her to tea. Lady Wetherby tells Lucy that she knows what it's like "to be denied one's heart's desires." Lucy assumes she means Alexander, and tells Lady Wetherby that she has no interest in him. Lady Wetherby says that she was not talking about Alexander, implying she is aware of Lucy's feelings for Mina. Lucy promptly leaves.

Lucy visits Lady Wetherby for tea. Lady Wetherby apologizes for 'embarrassing' her, but tells Lucy that she felt she had to reach out because she has been in a similar position herself. Jayne tells her that such urges are common place, and a 'natural part of a woman's maturation'. She tells Lucy that Mina may feel the same way about her, and encourages her to confess her feelings. She then kisses Lucy.

Later, Mina tells Lucy about her suspicions that Van Helsing is lying to her. She apologises, saying that Lucy must find the conversation rather 'dull', and Lucy says that she does not find it dull because Mina is speaking. Mina says that Lucy is kind to humour her. Seeing this as a sign of Mina's interest in her, Lucy tells Mina that, "It is not kindness, but love," and tries to kiss her.

In "Come to Die",
