'''Lucy Stillman''' (born 1987-88) is a member of the [[Assassin's Order]] and former [[Genetic memory|genetic memory]] researcher, working for [[Abstergo Industries]] in the [[Animus|Animus project]]. During her time at Abstergo, she spied on the company and helped [[Desmond Miles]] escape the lab. She then aided in Desmond's training to be an assassin, alongside [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]].

==Biography==
=== Early life===
Before starting work with Abstergo Industries, Lucy Stillman attended a university to study cognitive neuroscience, but was forced to leave when her mentors began to hold issue with her topic of study (considered pseudoscience). Forced out of the university, she applied at a variety of locations and tried close to everything to achieve employment, at one point joking to Desmond, "I was ''this'' close to waiting tables." <ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

Eventually, she was contacted by a [[Warren Vidic|Dr. Warren Vidic]], offering her a position at [[Abstergo Industries]]. She accepted the offer, and began working with Dr. Vidic on his [[Animus]] project immediately. For the first three years, Lucy was largely responsible for the design of a number of the Animus's functions and interfaces. While Lucy was on fairly cordial and friendly terms with a few other employees at Abstergo, such as [[Richard (Abstergo)|Richard]], these same individuals were later ordered to have Lucy killed, before Vidic intervened, seeing her as a valuable employee. <ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

===Working for Abstergo===
Lucy is first seen after she pulled [[Desmond]] out of the Animus seeing that his subconscious won't let him view the specific memory Abstergo wants. As Warren explains to Desmond what the Animus does and what genetic memories are, she explains Abstergo's goal without revealing too much information to Desmond. <ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

In between sessions, Lucy asks Desmond questions concerning his past or answers Desmond questions about what little she can reveal about Abstergo's goals. Lucy also mentions that he was not the only person Abstergo was detaining and that she too was an unfortunate captive. She then told him a story of how, in the past, Abstergo had decided to silence her, to keep her from speaking about the Animus, but before her assailants could commit her murder, they were ordered to stand down by Dr. Warren Vidic. She claimed that he saved her life that day, and she told Desmond not to judge Dr. Vidic so harshly, as he was under a lot of pressure. <ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

As more time passed on, Lucy leaves the access codes behind in Desmond's wardrobe, so that he finally could leave his room. On the Animus, Desmond found Lucy's pen which was left there for him to find. This gave him access to her computer, in order to read her [[E-mails]]. Later, Lucy revealed to Desmond that she to is also an Assassin, and only undercover to learn more about Abstergo's plans. <ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

When Desmond finished his time in the Animus, reliving the memories of Altaïr, three Abstergo CEO's, along with Warren, decided to kill Desmond seeing as they retrieved the information they needed. Lucy intervened and convinced them to keep Desmond for more testing, as his memories could still reveal more about the locations of the Pieces of Eden, in turn she had to leave him behind in the lab. <ref name="Assassin's Creed" />

===Escape to the [[Hideout]]===
[[File:Desmondlucy.jpg|thumb|300px|Lucy talking to [[Desmond]] in the Assassin's hideout]]
Hours passed as [[Desmond]] was still trapped in the lab after he first used his new skill, 'the Eagle Vision'. Suddenly, [[Lucy]] rushed inside with blood splatters on her shirt from fighting her way through the [[Abstergo]] facility. Lucy told Desmond there was no time to waste and that he had to get into the Animus to retrieve the memory core data. Lucy wrote the data on a disk and decided it was time to flee. The two successfully fought their way down the facility and made their way to the parking lot, and found themselves confronted by guards. Quickly disposing of the guards, [[Lucy]] told [[Desmond]] to go into the trunk of a car ''"for [his] own protection"''. When the ride was over the pair arrived in the [[Hideout]]. Before entering the main room, Lucy told Desmond she brought him to the [[Hideout]] to train to be an assassin by using the Animus and Bleeding Effect to imprint skills through [[Ezio]]. Entering the Animus room, Lucy's fellow assassins, [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]] introduced themselves to Desmond and set preparations for the sessions. Later in the day, Lucy evaluated Desmond's progress in between the sessions of Animus 2.0. The night after, Lucy and Desmond talked once more where Desmond promised he would protect her. <ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

After Desmond made his new discovery through Ezio from the [[The Vault|vault in Rome]], the alarm went off as [[Abstergo]] invaded their hideout. In a rush, Lucy gave Desmond a [[Hidden Blade]] similar to Ezio's, and made her way down. When Lucy encountered Warren Vidic again in the warehouse downstairs, he reminded her that he saved her, which was why she came to work for Abstergo in the first place. Vidic burst in anger as he stated his disappointment in her for her "betrayal". Both Lucy and Desmond engaged in a fight with the Abstergo guards and managed to defeat them. Vidic was last seen in a truck stating that that attack was only the beginning, and flees. When Desmond starts to go after him Lucy stops him and says they will bring Vidic to justice for what he has done ''eventually''. Lucy and the others left the hideout, despite defeating the guards from Abstergo as their location was revealed and Abstergo would most likely be back with reinforcements. They left to hide out in the mountains, while Desmond was preparing to enter the Animus again to continue their search for clues, while Lucy continued to study the notes and tries to figure out what the "Goddess" Minerva meant, and also told Desmond that everything she feared, is starting to happen. <ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

==Personality==
In contrast with Warren Vidic's personality, Lucy is an optimistic and cheerful woman with a bright personality. She always lends encouraging words and sympathy towards [[Desmond Miles]], though it obviously irritates him sometimes. At times when Warren Vidic attempts to force Desmond to go deeper to the Animus memory, Lucy will stop him from going and plead with Vidic to allow Desmond to rest, showing her caring personality. <ref name="Assassin's Creed" /> <ref name> Assassin's Creed: Official Game Guide </ref>

During [[Assassin's Creed II]], it is shown that she is cunning and resourceful for keeping Desmond's night-time explorations of the Animus room secret. She seems worried due to the [[Assassins]] losing the war, and was shaken when she discovered two teams (eight Assassins) were killed in the field. <ref name="Assassin's Creed II" />

==Trivia==
* She is modeled after and voiced by [[Kristen Bell]].
* The [[Assassin's Creed Achievements|achievement]] of "Conversationalist" can be unlocked in the 360 version of the first game by talking to Lucy every time Desmond comes out of the Animus. Note that you must talk to her completely, until she says that she's too busy to talk or ask if he's tired. <ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref> <ref name> Assassin's Creed: Official Game Guide </ref>
* Lucy's character model is drastically altered between games. In the first ''Assassin's Creed'', she is dressed in appropriate business/work attire. In ''Assassin's Creed II'', her clothes are much more casual, has a slightly more curvaceous figure, and different facial structure: larger eyes and lipstick. Lucy's eyes also go from blue-grey to completely blue. <ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref> <ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>.
* In [[Assassin's Creed II]] it is revealed that she is a very successful fighter, taking down many Abstergo guards while she and Desmond were escaping the [[Hideout]].
