Profile

Lucy is a teenage Diclonius girl around eighteen years old. Lucy has developed strong emotions of hatred and vengeance towards regular humans, mainly because of how she was treated by the majority of them as a child, making fun of her horns and giving her insulting nicknames such as "Freak." She seems to lack empathy, kills without much concern, and acts somewhat sadistically when it comes to most encounters towards most humans.



Nyu is a split personality of Lucy that developed after a .50 BMG round ricocheted off a metallic helmet encasing her head. Nyu has a childlike personality and infantile knowledge of the world, forgetting even that she is a Diclonius and how to use or manifest her vectors, leaving her as a human with horns. She initially lacks spoken language skills; however, she eventually learns a handful of words and phrases until she can finally speak properly despite the fact she still uses the nonsensical phrase "nyu" as her catchphrase. Nyu is innocent and incapable of violent acts, a foil to the normally cold and sadistic Lucy; she is the manifestation of her "good side". Whenever Nyu hits her head or when she is confronted with violence, she reverts to her sadistic, sociopathic side, Lucy.

She has been the first of the Diclonius race (the queen). A teenage girl named by the staff as "Lucy," escaped, using her vectors to deflect gunfire and effortlessly kill security guards. As she made her way out of the facility, a sniper shot her, breaking her metal helmet and causing her to fall into the sea. The next morning, Kohta was moving to Kamakura to study in a university where he is reunited with his cousin Yuka. He encounters Lucy on a beach in the area, naked with her head bleeding from the bullet wound and only capable of saying the word "Nyu." Kohta and Yuka decided to take her with them, naming her "Nyu" as a result.

Most diclonii are violent killers, known to have a vendetta against humans. The primal urge within many of them is to wipe out the human race and populate the world with their own species.
