Lucinda Miller, "The Bad Seed"

Lucinda Miller is a supporting character on Devious Maids. As an accomplished sculptor, Lucinda spends her days molding clay in her father's house, all because she missed out on the opportunity to mold a life, thanks to Kenneth making her give up her daughter after she was born. Although, she did still have a young woman in her home... the trouble is, it was her father's second wife Didi, whom Lucinda finds no trouble in calling a "gold-digging whore". Ultimately, this broken family is put back together upon hiring a new maid, who reintroduced Lucinda to a part of herself she thought was long since lost.

Lucinda Miller, "The Dark at the Top of the Stairs"

Spanked until the age of six, Lucinda is told by her father, Kenneth Miller, that if she is good then there would be no need to punish her. This leads her to start doing all of chores and learn to not sass back; she becomes the perfect child. However, at the age of 15, she falls in love with a boy who gets her pregnant, something that greatly upsets her father. He ends up making her give her newborn daughter up for adoption, something Lucinda is never able to understand the reasoning for. From there though, she pursues a career in art and becomes a sculptor. Since she was forbade her child, she wishes to create something beautiful in another way; however, this never does fill the hole in her heart that came from the loss of her baby. ("The Bad Seed")

After obtaining a master's degree, Lucinda finds work as a sculptor in New York, and even starts making a name for herself. However, she soon learns her mother has passed away, and so she moves back to Beverly Hills to care for her father. Because of this, it ends up with her clashing with Didi, the woman who her father eventually remarries to, for she is half her own age and an apparent gold-digger. Despite her own thoughts about Didi though, Lucinda agrees to put them aside whilst she cares for her father... even when that involves ignoring all the painful memories she has from growing up.
