Lucy

In the first few books of the Chronicles of Narnia you can see the close relationship Aslan has with Lucy. Of course He loves all of the children equally, but there seems to be something extra special about the way He goes about things with Lucy. There's an innocence about her, and a faith she holds close.

Aslan seems to look at Lucy with such adoration. She's a child. She believes in things she can not see or touch. She believes in the unbelievable. I think Aslan loves that about Lucy. Also, the way He speaks to her is special. He speaks to her with softness in his voice. Lucy is, and I think always will be, my favorite character of C.S. Lewis'. She can be so naive about the things of the world, and sometimes she doesn't understand. But that's what makes her so great. She has such a heart.

"Courage, dear heart." Is what Aslan spoke to Lucy in one of her toughest times. He recognizes the beauty of her heart, and speaks to it.

  1. Lucy is an ENFJ like me, I have always related to the way she thinks and sees things.. She has faith, hope, courage, and bravery. She's small but strong and full of fire. And I wish we could all be a little more like Lucy. She was also modeled off a real child C.S. Lewis knew. That makes her a little more special, I think.
