He is a very unkind child and makes fun of the Pevensies reminiscing about Narnia. He is interested factual study and doesn't think there is purpose in anything that cannot be catalogued or studied. Eustace Clarence ScrubbĮustace is cousin to the Pevensie children and at the beginning of the novel this fact seems to be their terrible misfortune because not only is he a bully but also insufferable and rather a baby. Edmund is forgiving of Eustace because he actually behaved in a far worse way during his first visit to Narnia yet was forgiven and redeemed, and so he wants to give Eustace the same chances. Although he likes Caspian and recognizes him as King of Narnia, he also expects Caspian to recognize the authority of Edmund's older brother Peter who was the first King of Narnia and Edmund does not take kindly to Caspian's flexing of his monarchical muscles. He loves being in Narnia and relishes the opportunity to take part in the voyage and the battle. He is a decent outdoorsman but sometimes lacks the skill of thinking ahead.

Edmund PevensieĮdmund has grown into a fine young man since his first visit to Narnia and his first priority is to protect his sister throughout their adventure, even though she really doesn't need protection. Lucy is kind and nurturing and even wants to help Eustace when he is being insufferable. She is also in awe of him and the mere vision of him in the spell book with a frown on his face prevents her from saying another spell aloud even though she wants to. She sees him far more often than the others. Lucy has the closest relationship with Aslan of all the children and he is the most fatherly of her. Lucy steps up to do the right thing even when it is frightening, such as going upstairs in the Magician's house to find the spell that will make the Duffers visible again. She is loved and revered by the Narnians.

Although she is given many considerations by the others on account of her being a girl, this is really out of manners or gallantry and not necessity, as Lucy is brave and feisty, and just as able to fight in battle as the boys. Returning is therefor somewhat of a dream come true for her. Like her brother Edmund, Lucy, the youngest of the four Pevensie children, has been to Narnia before and speaks wistfully of it.
