Lucy is a fourteen-year-old girl of average height and slight to average build.

She has light, medium-length hair. Her usual outfit consists of a pink dress and stripped tights. Lucy also wears arm warmers and tall boots, both adorned with circular decorations.

Later after she is kidnapped by Funny Valentine, she changes her outfit to only a dress and pair of pumps, and her hair is slightly longer than before.

Lucy is an intelligent, sensitive, and mild-mannered girl.

She is deeply loyal to her husband Steven, and she is able early to identify Gyro and Johnny as virtuous or reliable.

Abilities

 * See also Ticket to Ride.

Although intelligent and brave, Lucy possesses no Stand or special ability that she may control.

Valentine identifies her as close to the preference of the Corpse, and catalyzes a merger and metamorphosis between them embodied by the Stand-like power Ticket to Ride.

History
Lucy lived in a family of six siblings and was the second eldest of the bunch. Her father, Adam Pendleton, was a farmer who owns a small land in Oklahoma. Lucy's mother,  Alice, died at age thirty-seven when Lucy was only twelve, after which the family fell into misfortune.

In order to sustain the farm, Lucy and her family borrowed large amounts of money from money lenders, only to discover they had borrowed mafia money. With bad weather and deep emotional scars of his wife's death, Lucy's father slowly fell into a mire of debt. The mafia that the family borrowed money from has a policy of not taking something from a family that has only one possession, but if they have two or more possessions, they will take either one of them, so in order to pay for the debts, the Mafia will either take Lucy's father's land or one of his children. Lucy's father, making a harsh decision, decided to give away Lucy, the second eldest of his children who was old enough to work as a 'servant' instead of his eldest child, Tom, who is sixteen years old.

However, some time prior to the event, she met Steven Steel on the streets, where he was broke and drunk, listening to him mumbling about his plan of Steel Ball Run, and gave him the suggestion to run it. It was then that Steven stepped in to repay the favor he owed Lucy. To save Lucy from working as a prostitute for the mafia, Steven told Lucy's father to tell the mafia that Lucy was previously defiled by him.

Lucy later asks him to marry her. Steven initially objects, suggesting that Lucy should marry someone her own age and live a normal life, but eventually gives in and marries her.

Steel Ball Run (1890)
Lucy is now Steven Steel's wife and was later involved in the race herself.

Lucy was worried for her husband's safety, so decided to work undercover for both Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar to look for the stolen Corpse parts from President Funny Valentine. She did so by disguising herself as his wife Scarlet, with the help of Hot Pants, who kills Scarlet and fakes Lucy's death using Scarlet's corpse.

However, Lucy was quickly discovered by Funny Valentine when he tried to have sex with who he thought was his wife, causing Lucy to blow her cover and attack the president in self-defense. While running away from the president, she stumbled upon the stolen Corpse parts and became pregnant, discovering the Corpse's head in her womb.

After she was impregnated with the Corpse's head, she later absorbs all the other Corpse parts. Afterwards, she began to metamorphose and apparently gained a Stand power. However, she mostly remains unconscious, with Funny Valentine using her Stand's power to protect himself.

After Funny Valentine was defeated at the hands of Johnny and the completed Corpse removed itself from her body, she was reunited with Steven. Johnny, notices that the Corpse had just been taken by someone working with Funny Valentine and chases after him to reclaim it. Lucy notices that the horse tracks start from the hole Funny Valentine left in his wake and puts together that the thief was in fact Diego Brando from another dimension, whom she plans to confront at the shelter that was made to house the Corpse should Johnny fail to retrieve it first. Remembering what Valentine said about the effects objects from one dimension meeting itself, she uses the base world's Diego Brando's severed head to defeat him.
