Lucy Belmont is 19. She hasn't lived with her parents for three years. It's because of the rules for the Mate Bowl.

The Mate Bowl is a series of three events. The first is seeing how long you can survive in the wild. The second is how you use your resources. And the third is fighting.

I only did this because I was forced. I will win because I will survive. ~Lucy
