Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- During her childhood, she murdered her own mother Lady Beatrice Sharpe in her bathtub with a cleaver after the latter found out about her incestuous relationship with her brother Thomas. This caused Lucille to be transferred to an Asylum on Switzerland.

What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]
