Lucille is from Star City, West Virginia and she lives with her Mother. She doesn't know who her Father is, he left before she was even born and her Mom doesn't talk about him. Whether he knows she exists or not, she doesn't know.

She didn't grow up with a lot, but she had her Mother.

Her Mom wasn't exactly the most stable parent either. When she was three years old she had an accident at work and she stayed at the hospital while Lucy stayed with a neighbor. Her Mom had worked at the Walmart there and she had fallen off a ladder and injured her arm, it needed surgery so she could keep working to provide for Lucy.

When she eventually got the surgery, she was in the hospital put on painkillers. Her Mom had gotten addicted to them after she got out. She started blowing their money on drugs whenever she got a paycheck. That and alcohol. Lucy basically had to take care of the both of them.

Oftentimes, she would take a job as someone delivering newspapers so that she could feed her and her Mom. She became the caretaker for the two of them. She oftentimes came home to her Mother passed out on the couch from being drunk or the drugs she took.

She grew up very angry at her Father for leaving them, and she was angry at her Mother for making her be the one to take care of them. But, at the same time she couldn't bring herself to leave. She didn't think that she'd be able to take care of herself.

What got her through all of it, was drawing. She had taught herself how to draw and paint by paying attention to the things around her. She got really good at it, and in the little spare time she had, she drew.

At eleven her Mom went to a rehab and she got better and came back. She was building herself up and she started to look after Lucy again. However, she doesn't trust that she won't leave again. So, she continued to take care of herself.

At twelve, she started to notice something weird that happened. That whenever she did art, she had a blackout. She didn't remember painting them, and it freaked her out. She didn't tell anyone, cause she was afraid that she would be taken to a mental hospital. She was afraid of leaving her Mom.

At fourteen years old, and she started to notice that what she was painting was really weird. When she saw the news she remembered it happening before it did. She remembered her paintings and it was driving her crazy.

She started destroying her paintings because she was afraid of them. She finally told her Mom, and she freaked out. She wouldn't tell her why, but her Mom knew what she was, it was all over the news of the mutants taking over. Mutant kids being taken away.

Lucille only knew she was a mutant when she was confronted by Jean Grey at fifteen years old, and it all started to make sense.
