Lucy Westenra is a fictional character in the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. She is the 19-year-old daughter of a wealthy family and is Mina Murray's best friend. Early in the story, Arthur Holmwood, John Seward, and Quincey Morris, propose to Lucy on the same day. Despite deep affection for them all, she turns down the latter two and accepts the proposal of her true love, Arthur. Before Lucy can marry, Count Dracula attacks her while she is sleepwalking outside. Her health declines, and Seward enlists the help of his friend and mentor Abraham Van Helsing. Their efforts to cure her fail, and Lucy dies. She returns after her death as a vampire and attacks children, who dub her the "Bloofer Lady". The suitors and Van Helsing eventually corner her into her crypt and destroy her, putting her soul to rest. Lucy has appeared in most adaptations of Stoker's novel, although they change many aspects of her character. For example, the 1927 stage play swaps her and Mina's names.
