Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace - Characters & Cast

Her primary motivation is to spread the love of Jesus and fulfill the mission she believes she has received in her dreams: to help the "sad man," Edgar. She is driven by an unwavering faith and a pure desire to bring hope and healing to those who are suffering.

Lucy does not have a traditional character arc of change; rather, she is the catalyst for change in others. She begins the film as a deeply faithful and compassionate child and remains so until the end. Her journey is one of fulfilling a divine mission she believes she has been given, even in the face of her own mortality. Her steadfastness in her beliefs and love is what transforms the world around her.

Initially, Edgar has no motivation and has given up on life. As Lucy's influence grows, his motivation shifts to wanting to be worthy of her faith in him. He becomes motivated by the possibility of forgiveness from his family and the hope of a future he never thought possible.

Edgar begins as a hardened, hopeless criminal, estranged from his family and resigned to his fate of dying from kidney failure. Through his interactions with Lucy, he undergoes a profound transformation. He moves from cynicism and despair to hope, forgiveness, and a desire to reconnect with his family. Lucy's selfless love breaks down his emotional walls, leading him to accept a second chance at life.

His main motivation is the protection and well-being of his daughter, Lucy. He is concerned about her illness and her interactions with a convicted criminal, which drives his initial resistance to her friendship with Edgar.

James, Lucy's father, starts as a protective but skeptical parent. He loves his daughter deeply but struggles to understand her spiritual experiences, often dismissing her visions of Grandpa Jackson as an overactive imagination. His arc involves moving from skepticism to belief, as he witnesses the undeniable impact Lucy has on Edgar and eventually comes to accept the reality of her spiritual connection.

His motivation is to watch over and guide his beloved granddaughter, Lucy. He acts as a messenger and helper from the spiritual realm, ensuring Lucy can fulfill her purpose of changing hearts before her time on earth is over.

As a spiritual being, Grandpa Jackson doesn't have a personal arc of change. His role is to guide and support Lucy. He serves as her confidant and spiritual mentor, helping her navigate her mission. His consistent presence provides a tangible link to the film's spiritual themes.
