“I knew at once, when I slipped through into the moonlight office and eased the door shut behind me, that I was in the presence of the dead.”
The primary duty of Lucy and her colleagues is to investigate the source of ghosts and develop strategies on how they can destroy them. However, the work of investigating ghosts is dangerous and scary. Entering a ghost-haunted area is the most daring thing anyone can do. When Lucy enters the moonlight office, she smells death, indicating her life is in danger. Despite the dangers involved in her work, Lucy is the most courageous person who leads all the investigations they undertake as a team.
“She is just over there! Staring, staring with her hollow sockets! Ooh, now I see her grinning teeth!”
Even though ghosts are invisible to other investigators, Lucy can physically see them with the help of her whispering skull. According to Lucy, ghosts are terrifying creatures without eyes. Like her whispering skull, the ghosts do not have eyes but can see everything around them. Lucy easily destroys ghosts because she knows exactly where they are hiding. Therefore, Lucy is an important person in Lockwood and Co. because she is why the company wins all its cases, including ghost investigations.
“Don’t get me wrong. I am not complaining. There were many advantages to my new life as a freelance physic operative. I could choose my jobs. I worked whenever I wanted.”
When a person gets an opportunity to work independently, she discovers all the hidden potentials that make her more successful. Initially, Lucy works for Lockwood and Co., but she reaches a point she decides to be independent. Lucy discovers that working alone has many benefits compared to working with others. For instance, the major benefit of working alone is the freedom to choose what you want. More importantly, Lucy excels more when she works as a freelancer because no one challenges her decisions.
