Lucy is a netrunner, meaning she has an augmented interface system built into her body that she uses when taking down enemies and completing missions. She was selected at a young age to take on this role, receiving training at a facility in Arasaka before she and some of the other children eventually realized they could fight against the megacorp they were working for.

In Lucy's attempt to flee, all of the other children who were trying to escape were killed, leaving her as the lone survivor. Lucy eventually found her way to Night City.

Though Lucy may be considered one of the main characters in the anime series, she's a character who is currently only present in the show and not in the video game. While Cyberpunk Edgerunners builds heavily on the lore that's laid out in the video game, many of the characters in the show are unique to it.
