Lucy Sobel

Lucy Sobel was a secretary and co-worker of Rhys Williams at Harwood's Haulage.

She originally moved to Cardiff from Bristol. She first met Gwen at a barbecue in Ely where Rhys and a group of other guys were busking some Kaiser Chiefs music on a bass guitar. Gwen remembered that Lucy had been at least a size 16 at the time.

Desperate to lose weight, Lucy went to a clinic after seeing a flyer at a club. They gave her a consultation and some herbal pills. In her own words: "the weight just melted away".

Rhys bumped into Lucy outside the Indian Summer on the way to a date at the restaurant with Gwen. He asked Gwen if it was alright if she ate with them. Gwen received a text from Torchwood and left without them knowing. Gwen returned later in the evening to find the pair holding hands.

Gwen Cooper was convinced Lucy had feelings for Rhys. After this, Lucy unexpectedly got caught up in one of Torchwood's investigations.

Lucy had brown eyes, flecked with green, and thick lashes. She had freckles sprinkled across her cheeks and the top of her nose. She was elegantly skinny and wore too-tight jeans. (PROSE: Slow Decay)
