Lucy the Axe

"All work and no play makes me want to chop some trees."

- Lucy the Axe

Lucy the Axe is a character-specific item that Woodie begins the game with. Lucy has infinite durability and in Woodie's hands, cuts Trees very fast. Lucy is a sentient being, although it is not known if this is real or just Woodie's imagination. When equipped, Lucy will speak a line such as 'I missed you'.

Lucy will egg Woodie on when he chops down Trees, until he has almost reached the point at which he will become a Werebeaver. When the transformation is almost ready to occur, Lucy will begin to warn Woodie.

Lucy can be used as a melee weapon, dealing half the damage of the regular axes.

Lucy cannot be stolen by Krampus and Splumonkeys or eaten by Eyeplants, although she can be destroyed if Woodie tries to attack a Nightmare Throne with her equipped.

Appearance
Lucy is based on the traditional fire axe, in that the blade is red until near the sharp silvery edge, with a wood base. Lucy speaks with red text that appears below Woodie, to avoid confusion with Woodie's white text, and is given an instrumental sound effect whenever a line is spoken.

When not in the player's inventory, Lucy will be indicated on the map by an icon. This can be useful to indicate where the player's items were dropped at the point of a Werebeaver transformation.

Trivia

 * Whether Lucy is speaking in real life or not is, as of yet, unknown. There has been plenty of speculation on the matter, ranging from insanity, through curses, to past relationships. The devs have been cagey on the subject, but they have said that Woodie is fairly levelheaded, Lucy's talkativeness aside.
 * Lucy is the first item that can speak and has distinct lines, not just sound effects like the Living Log.
 * Lucy is voiced by a squeaking clarinet.
 * When playing Adventure Mode, Lucy will not use a slot in the Teleportato. She will appear in Woodie's inventory after arriving in the new world.
 * When Woodie examines Lucy, he says "I love Lucy!", a reference to the sitcom I Love Lucy.
 * Lucy's line, "All work and no play makes me want to chop trees", is a reference to The Shining.
 * Lucy does less damage then a standard Axe and a Luxury Axe.
