| abstract | - 'Lucy the Slut is a puppet premiering in the Broadway Musical Avenue Q. Although she plays a minor role and has minimal lines, she is arguably the only real antagonist in the entire show. She is not featured for well over half the show, making her first appearance in her song Special where she attempts to seduce the main character, Princeton, despite knowing in advance that Princeton was already in a loving comitted relationship with Kate Monster. Despite her attempts, it is implied that Princeton rejected her in favor for Kate. Lucy made her first appearance in Act I, where she was introduced as a segemend of a strip show at a local bar. Brian introduces her as the star of Girls Gone Wild Parts II, V, and VII immediately before she sings her song Special and delibertely seduces Princeton unsuccessfully. Lucy makes a later appearance at the end of the song There is Life Outside Your Apartment, where she again attempts to seduce Princeton, who is now recently broken-up with Kate. This time she succeeds in doing so, persuading Princeton to have sexual relations in his apartment, where Kate lives just next door. Kate sees them together and gets even more infuriated, much to Lucy's satisfaction. Lucy taunts Kate for her failed relationship which then directly leads into the song "The More You Ruv Someone". Despite this, Lucy is not featured in the song at all. After the aftermentioned song, Kate Monster realizes that her hatred for Princeton only made her love him stronger and she decides to reconcile her rocky relationship with him. She writes Princeton a letter instructing him to meet her at their special place (which was at the top of the Empire State Building) and slips it underneath Princeton's door while he was in the shower at the time, unbeknownst to her. Lucy sees the letter and shreds it before Princeton could see it. Because of this, Princeton obviously was not able to go to the meeting place, which infuriated Kate Monster. In her fury, she tossed Princeton's lucky penny given to her by him in a previous song Fantasies Come True. This same penny happens to struck Lucy far below and she had a complete personality change as a result. She was now angelic, virginal, and considers herself to be a "born-again Christian"
