Ability

The ability, Anne of Abyssal Red (深淵の赤毛のアン,, Shin'en no Akage no An^?), allows her to create an alternate reality known as "Anne's Room", in which people are imprisoned if they get caught by Anne the Monster while playing hide-and-seek.

Background

Like Atsushi, Lucy, as a child, had no parents and lived in an orphanage. The people in the orphanage, however, also treated her harshly, and that the place she lived in was "a terribly cold place."

She would work for a whole day with freezing water and a dishcloth, which made her fingers ache for several days. She also makes her clothes from patched up leftovers and would wear it for a year. She would wash dishes all day with aching hands.

In chapter 28, She reveals that she also received a permanent scar on her right arm from a hot iron poker, that of similar to Atsushi's scar by his stomach, which serves as an example of how bad the orphanage treated Lucy.

She mentions that she was called a "freak" because of her ability, and later on, was taken into the Guild because of her ability.
