Brief History:

Born into the extremely wealthy Heartfilia family in the Kingdom of Fiore in the New World, Lucy wanted for nothing growing up and had a loving family life during her early years of life. However, that all changed with her mother Layla's death when she was only 7 and her father's method of coping with it was to throw himself into his work and ignore Lucy. What's worse was that as Lucy grew into a very attractive young woman she became a potential asset to be married off to further the Heartfilia business interests and her father's personal ambitions.

The only saving grace for Lucy was that one of Layla's servants and close confidant of hers, Spetto made sure that her mother's dying wish was fulfilled. That wish was for Lucy continue the legacy of the Heartfilia women and consume and continue to study and grow the Key-Key Fruit like Layla had done.

Little is known about this odd Paramecia type Devil Fruit and its ability to impart the abilities of various constellations upon the eater via keys that the user makes but one quirky thing about it is that after it reenters circulation it always appears near the Heartfilia family. Thankfully Spetto knew what to look for having seen it before Layla ate it and found it within days of Layla's death and presented it to Lucy as a final gift from her mother.

Lucy ate it after it was explained to her what it was, what the consequences were of eating it, and that she was the latest in the Heartfilia legacy to bear this burden. Despite her young age, Lucy accepting it without question despite her age and bravely took on the mantle that her forebears had worn.

At 7 Lucy is the youngest known Heartfilia to eat the Key-Key Fruit and she'd spend the next decade honing her skills with it along with studying the notes of her mother and those who'd eaten it before Layla had left regarding her Devil Fruit. Initially only able to manifest 1 of the Golden Keys, she'd worked her way up to 4 plus a handful of smaller ones by the time she turned 17 and was supposed to be married off.

However, Lucy refused to be used as a pawn for her father's ambitions or the family business and instead ran away to live her own life. Using her own money and her Devil Fruit powers she made her way from the New World to the West Blue though how is still unknown how she got to the West Blue or why she was even heading there in the first place.

Whatever the case, Lucy eventually reached the island of Hargeon where she had a chance meeting with Dragneel Natsu while he was visiting the port city that Hargeon was known for. That meeting, which involved some strange Devil Fruit powers that made members of the opposite sex fall in love with the user, resulted in Lucy's near kidnapping and the subsequent destruction of the port by Natsu when he attacked the Devil Fruit user. Already a wanted pirate and Captain of the Fairy Tail Pirates, Natsu seems to have taken a liking to Lucy while in Hargeon and invited to join his crew when he was done.

Lucy accepted and fled with Natsu in the wake of his actions. Due to her knowledge of the Grand Line and how extensively she'd traveled to reach the West Blue, she was named the navigator by Natsu on the way back to his ship. She became the 14th member of the crew and the final one recruited in the West Blue before the Fairy Tail Pirates entered the Grand Line and began their journey there.

Unfortunately, Lucy's father was after her from the moment that she fled and engaged the services of the Warlord Porla Jorge to find her, which he did. Jose's senior executive, Lockser Juvia, would end up capturing Lucy and brining her to Jose but Natsu instantly acted to find and rescue her.

This led to a war between the Fairy Tail and Phantom Lord Pirates which culminated in Jose trying to kill all of them, and an entire town of civilians, with an illegal weapon he had created. The incident was locally broadcast so the Navy couldn't cover it up and as such it cost Jorge his status as a Warlord. He and his crew would then be defeated the Fairy Tail Pirates costing him and almost all of his crew their freedom and reinforced Lucy's status on the crew.

Due to the war her closeness to Natsu was been noted and as such she is now considered the second closed to the Captain after the First Mate Happy and has his full trust and confidence. As a result of that assessment and her ties to the Heartfilia family, Lucy earned her first bounty of 41 million berries.

That bounty would be increased to its current status of 91 million berries following another incident involving a noted terrorist group that the Navy had been after but hadn't beaten which caused them great embarrassment. In addition to this, and due to her father's influence, Lucy's current bounty contains the rare 'Only Alive' notice.

This would be her bounty when the Fairy Tail Pirates made it to Sabaody and was present during Straw Hat Luffy's attack on Saint Charloss. Therefore, while close to the threshold of 100 million berries, it does not reach it and as such Lucy is not a Super Rookie nor is she a member of the Worst Generation.
