In many ways, Lucy Pevensie is the central protagonist of the novel. The youngest of the four siblings, Lucy is the first to discover Narnia. Her youth and innocence indicate she is curious and open-minded, readily accepting the existence of the magical land and the mythological creatures that inhabit it. Although initially nervous and even “a little afraid” of the old Professor (9), she gradually grows in courage and confidence as the narrative unfolds. Lucy refuses to change her story about Narnia when her older siblings claim she has only imagined her adventure. Lucy’s strength is rooted in her close alignment with the truth. When Susan and Peter confide in the Professor, he advises them to trust in her honest character rather than be swayed by the seeming impossibility of her experience. Susan and Peter admit that Lucy has always been very truthful, reflecting the high regard they have for their sister’s honesty. Lewis contrasts Lucy’s truthfulness and loyalty with Edmund, who persistently lies either to torment others or to get his own way.
