When I first saw Lucy MacLean, one of the protagonists of the new Fallout TV series and the ex-vault dweller turned Wasteland adventurer, I wondered how she'd fare in the unforgiving world of Fallout and questioned whether she'd even be able to make it to the end of the first season. But as her actress, Ella Purnell, pointed out to me during an interview, this character actually isn't as naive and fragile as I first thought.
"She's tough, she can handle herself, and she's smart," Purnell explains. We don't know who we'll be until we get put in a horrific, impossible situation. And then you'll see what you're really made of. And I think that's very much the case with Lucy."
