More than meets the eye.

and the ex-vault dweller turned Wasteland adventurer, I wondered how she'd fare in the unforgiving world of Fallout and questioned whether she'd even be able to make it to the end of the first season. But as her actress, Ella Purnell, pointed out to me during an interview, this character actually isn't as naive and fragile as I first thought.

In an intro sequence where we first see what life is like in Vault 33, Lucy is shown excelling at multiple activities, like engineering, martial arts, and good old American pre-war history. But after she exits the vault it's pretty easy to forget about Lucy's strengths and capabilities because of her unwavering optimism and sunny disposition in the face of post-apocalyptic America.

But this courage can be hard to watch sometimes. The first night she spent out in the Wasteland was so stressful as she fell asleep outside next to a burning fire, broadcasting her whereabouts to everything waiting in the undergrowth. I was so sure a Mole Rat or, god forbid, a Deathclaw was going to emerge out of the darkness and tear her to pieces.

I really hope Lucy stays as optimistic about people and life in general even after venturing through the Wasteland. I've only watched the first couple of episodes so far, but she's already proved that she's more than capable of holding her own in the face of danger despite the stress this may cause me, and that's not despite her optimism—it's because of it.
