Lucy Pevensie is a fictional character in C. S. Lewis 's The Chronicles of Narnia series. She is the youngest of the four Pevensie children and the first to find the Wardrobe entrance to Narnia in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Eventually she meets a faun, a creature that is half goat and half man. The faun is carrying an umbrella and several parcels. When it sees Lucy, it is so startled that it drops all of its packages. After the faun recovers from the scare, it asks Lucy if she is a Daughter of Eve.

She pointed with her wand and Edmund turned and saw the same lamp-post under which Lucy had met the Faun. "Straight on, beyond that, is the way to the World of Men.

While exploring the house, Lucy stumbles upon a wardrobe that leads to a magical land called Narnia. She meets a faun named Mr. Tumnus and learns that Narnia is under the rule of the White Witch, who has cast a spell to make it always winter but never Christmas.

As the Faun (Mr. Tumnus) scrambles to pick up all his parcels, he asks Lucy if she is a “Daughter of Eve.” She replies that her name is Lucy, and the Faun clarifies his question—he wants to know if she is a human girl. Puzzled, Lucy says she is of course human.

Lucy greets the faun, and he asks her if she is a "Daughter of Eve", a "girl", or a "human". Confused, she says she is "Lucy", but confirms that she is human. The faun introduces himself as Mr. Tumnus, and explains that Lucy has stumbled into Narnia, the land that stretches between the lamp-post and the castle of Cair Paravel on the Eastern Sea.

No matter how much evidence there is that the faun saved Lucy, someone else could always construct an elaborate argument that things are not what they seem, and it would be impossible to prove the faun saved her without a doubt.
