Lucille "Lucy" van Pelt is the main antagonist of the Peanuts franchise. She is the elder sister of Linus and Rerun, who she bullies and belittles.

In the 2015 film The Peanuts Movie, she is voiced by Hadley Belle Miller.

Appearance[]

Lucy has short black hair in two minibuns and a light skin tone she wears a blue dress with buttons and black and white shoes her bow is coloured blue the same colour as her dress.

Personality[]

Her personality would be characterized as stubborn, crabby, vain, loud, temperamental and even violent, turning her into the most antagonistic character in the strip. Most of the strips she appears in show her threatening, complaining and/or taunting. She is easy to anger when she does not get what she wants. Occasionally, she is shown doing something selfless and caring to others when she is calmer, especially to Linus, the keyword being occasionally. However, she has her moments of real tenderness, such as when Linus replies to her despondency over the unfairness of life by saying "Well, for one thing, you have a little brother who loves you." Whereupon Lucy hugs her little brother and bursts into tears.

Lucy is rather creative at throwing insults that are completely uncalled for in both subtle and outright offensive ways, usually to Charlie Brown, but her general knowledge and common sense remained at the bottom of the ocean after her personality change: she is dumb enough to say things like "I hate it when I'm not around!" and "Snow comes up from the ground!". She also lost her baseball skills (she was initially a good player) and turned into the weak, terrible baseball player she would remain as for the rest of the strip's run, but would still show up for almost every game just because Schroeder does the same.

Lucy often prefers to do things in brute force ways, attempting to cure Linus' need for his security blanket by simply taking it from him, and giving nothing but brutal and obvious advice from her psychiatry booth. Like Charlie Brown, Lucy does not tend to quit, especially when it comes to her unrequited love for Schroeder, whom she is very confident and openly flirtatious around without realizing or caring much that she is rudely interrupting his piano practice.

In the later years of the strip, after the birth of Rerun van Pelt, Lucy begins to soften up and become nicer, without completely abandoning her tendency to moan.

Trivia[]

Lucy serves as the secondary antagonist turned one of the three tritagonists (the others being Sally and Fifi) of The Peanuts Movie. At first, she appears to put others down, but becomes supportive when Charlie Brown starts flying his own kite without problems.
In Snoopy's Grand Adventure, Lucy is the host of the Lunar Surface. There, a boss known as the Big Stompy appears, and his battle is similar to the Porky Statue: the hero has to run away from him. At the end of the course, Lucy knocks down and kills the Big Stompy.
Given her surname is 'van Pelt', Lucy is of Dutch descent.
Lucy has a crush on Schroeder, but it is a one-sided crush on Lucy side. Since Schroeder never showed any interest in Lucy.
Lucy is a minor antagonist and anti-hero of the series.
