Lucy Steel

Lucy Steel, née Lucy Pendleton is a side character and ally featured in Steel Ball Run, briefly appearing in JoJolion. Lucy is the wife of the Steel Ball Run race promoter, Steven Steel. She eventually discovers Funny Valentine's plan for the race and, fearing for her husband's safety, decides to cooperate with the Joestar Group. She grows up to work for the Speedwagon Foundation specializing in botany and germaphology, investigating phenomena such as the Saint's Corpse and the Locacaca. Lucy is a fourteen-year-old girl of average height and build. She has light, medium-length hair and an outfit generally consisting of a dress and striped tights. She also wears arm warmers and tall boots, both adorned with circular decorations. Later, after she is kidnapped by Funny Valentine, her outfit is simplified to only a dress and pair of pumps, and her hair is slightly longer than before. In SBR Chapter 95, Lucy is seen wearing a hood, while also regaining her arm warmers and boots but without any tights underneath. In JoJolion, she is seen making two appearances, once in 1911, and again in 1941. In 1911, as a young adult, wearing a dark suit and sunglasses, carrying a briefcase, in 1941, she is an old woman, wearing a pearl necklace and a hat and leggings with a star pattern resembling Johnny's hat. Lucy is an intelligent, gentle and courageous girl despite facing many dangerous situations. Already apparent in her childhood, Lucy's kindness pushed her to talk to a then derelict Steven Steel, being the first person to support him in his idea of organizing a horserace and also suggesting that it had an enormous scale by making it go across the United States and having a prize in the millions. When Steven repaid her kindness by preventing the mafia from taking her away, Lucy was deeply grateful to Steven, developing a deep relationship with him although it would remain platonic despite everyone else's bias. Lucy isn't shown interacting much with other people, usually being rather withdrawn compared to Steven's bombastic public persona. However, she is the only one who knows about his moments of doubt and sadness and during them encourages her husband. When interacting with other people, Lucy usually acts polite and rather meek. As Steven's wife, Lucy is extremely loyal to him and her every action during the course of the Steel Ball Run is performed in order to protect him from danger. As such, despite being a frail and Stand-less person, Lucy constantly throws herself into dangerous actions without hesitation. Not only does she infiltrate several well-protected facilities in order to undermine Funny Valentine, she also has several perilous encounters against Stand Users such as Blackmore, Mike O. or even Diego Brando, all of whom try to kill her. She also plainly rejects Mountain Tim's advances, stating her pride in being Steven's wife. Although she is prone to nervousness, Lucy is also an extremely resourceful woman, being adept at tricking people or performing other tricks to escape notice. She knows lip-reading and is a competent actor, which in conjunction with her status as the main promoter's wife, allows her to access several usually secure places. Even on the brink of capture or worse, Lucy can think of ways to escape using all available tools and allies. Lucy is ultimately the one who defeats Diego Brando from another dimension by bringing the base world's Diego Brando's head to him, killing him in spite of his formidable Stand. Despite her gentle nature, Lucy also doesn't hesitate to fire at Blackmore or stab Valentine, showing a hidden ruthless side to her.
