Growing up in Hockessin, Delaware, little Lucy always knew she was destined to have her name written up on the marquee in bright lights. She made her acting debut on the Delaware vaudeville circuit, charming audiences from across the mid-atlantic. Yet this stage wasn’t nearly big enough to contain Tokkan’s starpower, and as soon as she was old enough, she hopped a train out west, heading for that city of dreams: Hollywood, California.

With her good looks and glamorous charm, it wasn’t long before Lucy found herself cast in a major motion picture. Her turn as the lovelorn Yolanda in ''[[Midnights of the Clockwoman]]'' had movie-goers weeping in the aisles and critics raving in the streets. Her follow-up role playing a struggling urban explorer mother alongside child actor [[Morrow Wilson]] in ''[[Sweet Turnip in Savannah]]'' netted Lucy her first Olscar nomination. Further star turns in such classic films as ''Turn Back the Clock'', ''Wise is the Midday Sun'', and ''Midnights of the Clockwoman 2: Yolanda’s Revenge'' cemented Tokkan as one of film industry’s biggest stars.

Despite currently being 35, Lucy dresses and acts as if she is from the golden age of Hollywood. She wears slim 1940s dresses, carries long-stemmed cigarette holders, and calls most everyone “Dah-ling.” To some she appears grayscale, but most believe that it’s a trick of the light in the strangely lit [[Tastycake Stadium|Tastykake Stadium]]. Fans have long theorized that she somehow time-traveled from the past, but her friends insist that her anachronistic mannerisms are merely “commitment to her aesthetic.”

==Joining the Pies==
 +
Tokkan’s first exposure to the Philly Pies came during the 20XX Emmy Awards where she witnessed a 36 minute acceptance speech delivered by [[Ruslan Greatness]] for his titular sitcom [[My Roomie Ruslan|''My Roomie Ruslan'']]. Notably, ''My Roomie Ruslan'' did not receive any Emmys, nor was it nominated for any. Tokkan, after having won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Dr. Andrea McCoy in ''Horse Hospital'', met with Greatness at an after-party to discuss her recent audition for a heretofore unknown role in an upcoming Blaseball film. Tokkan refuses to publicly reveal who she will be playing, but many fans speculate either [[Jessica Telephone]] or [[Jaylen Hotdogfingers]]. A visibly intoxicated Greatness gave Tokkan an open invitation to come play for the Pies to research for the role.  After officially being cast months later, Tokkan visited Tastykake Stadium in a personally tailored Pies uniform, ready to begin her professional career.

Ironically, Tokkan officially joined the Pies by complete accident. When invited by director [[Eduardo Woodman]] to guest star on an episode of ''My Roomie Ruslan'', Tokkan flew out to Philadelphia to film the episode after Season 20 Day 21’s game against the [[Baltimore Crabs]]. When she arrived her car was accidentally rerouted to Tastykake stadium where she was escorted to the Pie’s locker room. The cause of the rerouting is unknown, with fan theories ranging from simple (the whimsy of the [[Philadelphia Philling|Philling]], the inherent chaos of [[Philadelphia]]) to the complex (GPS bugs, scheduling error). Once inside the locker room, Tokkan, thirsty from the flight, drank from a leftover can of SKATE JUICE. Doing so made her eligible to join the team as the Pies rules state  ██████ ███ █████ ███████ in Non-Physical Law. The fax machine activated, spitting out her name and swapping her instantly with Pie’s pitcher [[Tiana Takahashi]]. In the confusion, Tokkan began pitching and proved to be surprisingly talented at distracting batters with small talk.
