Long Answer

Maddie starts the other students calling Lucy “Cleaning Lady” to mock the behaviors that stem from her OCD. Lucy prefers the nickname “Lightning Girl,” and Levi suggests that as others get used to the things that make her special, they will start calling her “Lightning Girl” instead of “Cleaning Lady.” (Various chapters)
Lucy loves pi and uses it to comfort herself. But reciting it in her head is time-consuming and sometimes gets out of her control. This means that her love for pi has a good side and a bad side. (Various chapters)
