Season 1
Lucy Elaine Saltzman is a demigod daughter of Ares. She moves to Mystic Falls, Virginia with her biological uncle/adoptive father (and vampire hunter), Alaric Saltzman, and her biological cousin/adoptive sister (and witch), Spencer Saltzman. She starts out mid-semester at Mystic Falls High School and attracts the attention of Jeremy Gilbert. With their friendship growing with each passing day, keeping her secret gets harder and harder, until Jeremy finally figures it out.

With everything out in the open, Jeremy and Lucy grow closer together. Jeremy proposes that by the town's celebration of Founder's Day, Lucy will agree to be his girlfriend, and he tries to prove himself right. However, when the day of celebration comes, evil and darkness comes with it.

Season 2
Picking up after the dark events of Founder's Day, Lucy is busy recuperating in the hospital and is visited by her Satyr protector, Phoebus, and the two other resident demigoddesses of Mystic Falls; Nichole Donovan (a daughter of Aphrodite) and Cassandra Fell (a daughter of Apollo). Everyone else is at the wake of the late Mayor Lockwood and the mysterious Katherine Pierce returns to Mystic Falls, intent on driving a wedge between the Salvatore trio Damon, Ava, and Stefan.
