Lux Cassidy is a fictional character and one of the protagonists of the CW television series Life Unexpected. She is portrayed by Britt Robertson. The result of a teenage pregnancy, her parents, Cate Cassidy and Nate Bazile, gave her up for adoption. However, she has a heart problem which meant that she was never adopted and was entered into the foster care system, unknown to Cate who was told that her baby would be adopted. Lux was reunited with her birth parents whilst applying for emancipation.

Storylines

Lux Cassidy was born in September 1993 as the result of a one-night stand between her parents, Cate Cassidy and Nate Bazile, during their winter formal when they were teenagers. After she was born, Cate put her up for adoption, with Nate believing Cate had had an abortion. Lux was born with a congenital heart defect and spent the first few years of her life in hospital due to various surgeries she needed. Lux was never adopted and was placed in foster care.

In season one Lux is introduced as fifteen, nearly sixteen, years old. She tracks down her birth parents Nate Bazile and Cate Cassidy, in order to get them to relinquish their legal rights so she can get emancipated from foster care. Lux is refused emancipation by the court and is instead placed into the custody of Nate and Cate temporarily. Eventually, Nate and Cate are granted permanent custody of Lux.

In season two Bug asks Lux to marry him but she turns him down. Bug then breaks up with her. Lux then begins a secret relationship with Eric Daniels, a teacher at her school. Lux is diagnosed with dysgraphia.

The final scene of the series takes place two years in the future and shows Lux giving the valedictory speech at her graduation. She and Jones are dating.
