Lacie Benton

Lacie Benton is a character in Optic Ink, and is an engineer for Joey Drew Studios. She works on the Bendy Land rides with Bertrum and Murray.

She is the younger sister of Norman Polk.

Appearance
Lacie has messy black hair, dark green eyes, and dark skin. She changes her hair regularly into different styles, but is most often seen with it in a high ponytail or a bun, presumably to keep it out of the machinery. She wears a dull yellow sweater over a tank top, gray pants, and brown shoes.

She is 5'10 and quite muscular, though her sweater hides that fact.

Personality
Lacie is bright, outgoing, and tough. She's a hard worker, and Bertrum's right hand man when it comes to designing and testing the rides. She faces quite a bit of gossip and rudeness from some of her male employees, but quickly sets them straight. She's soon respected more than their boss for her level head and expertise.

She is unaware of Bertrum's feelings for her, too caught up in her crush on Susie for a significant while post-ink. She has asked him for romantic advice more than once, completely oblivious to his discomfort.

Her parents are unaware of her current job and profession, thinking she works in a bakery. Even Norman doesn't know until they meet post-ink.

Post-Ink
Unique to the rest of the crew, Lacie looks virtually the same after the Ink Machine was activated. She inhabits the Bendy Animatronic, with major parts of her body replaced by metal, most notably her right arm, neck, and cheeks. She is shown to have white pupils, and Bertrum has commented that her eyes glow in the dark.

She is able to alter her mechanical arm into useful tools, but finds the work difficult one-handed. Lacie spends most of her time with Bertrum or Lensey, or looking for her friend Murray by herself.

Trivia

 * She is scared of clowns.
 * She has fought the Ink Demon and lived (though not won).
 * The animatronic still needs to be charged regularly, and Lacie doesn't realize this until she passes out when it shuts down.
 * Lacie is the only person to recognize her brother on sight post-ink, and has offered to try and remove the projector. He refuses.
 * She is shown to be fond of sweets, bringing herself and Bertrum breakfast regularly pre-ink.
 * Tom Boris still has her left arm. Bertrum replaced it soon after they woke up.
 * She is quite possibly the strongest individual post-ink barring the Ink Demon, closely followed by Norman, Thomas, and Allison.
