Lumen Ann Pierce is a fictional character portrayed by Julia Stiles in the fifth season of the Showtime television series ''Dexter''. Lumen is introduced in the third episode of the fifth season as a rape survivor of Boyd Fowler. The character remains for the rest of the season, and leaves following the season five finale, "The Big One". Lumen is first introduced in the third episode of the fifth season, "Practically Perfect", in which it is revealed that she was beaten and gang raped by a group of men, including Boyd Fowler. She witnesses Dexter Morgan kill Fowler, thus becoming a key player in Dexter's life. Dexter rescues her, but initially thinks he has no choice but to kill her in order to eliminate a witness. He eventually decides to spare her life, however. Lumen asks Dexter to help her seek revenge against her abusers, but he initially refuses. After Lumen continues on her own and targets the wrong suspect, Dexter teaches her the importance of knowing a person is guilty before killing him. He entreats her to leave Miami; she agrees at first, but decides to stay after a pat-down at the airport brings back memories of her abuse. She goes out on her own and shoots one of her attackers, but panics not knowing what to do with his body; she calls Dexter, who reluctantly helps her to cover up the murder. That night, she tells him that killing the man brought her a sense of peace that she knows will not last; she believes she will have to kill all of her attackers to get over her abuse for good. Dexter realizes that she harbors a "Dark Passenger" much like his and agrees to help, in part to find his own closure following the murder of his wife, Rita. The two then systematically hunt down and kill her abusers, in the process becoming lovers. She leaves him in the season finale, however, after realizing that she no longer feels the need to kill. Lumen exited the show following the events of "The Big One". ==Development== Lumen was created by executive producer Clyde Phillips for the fifth season of ''Dexter''. Lumen is regularly portrayed by actress Julia Stiles. She originally signed on to appear in ten episodes of the series. In casting the role, producers were looking for someone with a vulnerable side. It was confirmed shortly before production that Stiles was in the final stages of appearance negotiations for a major role in the fifth season of ''Dexter''. Showtime confirmed on June 7, 2010 that Stiles would appear on the show. They originally gave this character description: "She'll play a "mysterious young woman who forms a unique relationship" with the titular character, played by Golden Globe and SAG-winning actor Michael C. Hall." The fifth season finale, "The Big One", marked the conclusion of the season-long subplot of Lumen seeking revenge against Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Miller) and his accomplices, and marked the last in a string of regular guest appearances by Stiles and Miller. Stiles said at the start of her time on the series, she believed Lumen would likely be killed by the end of the season because most characters who have learned the truth about Dexter's double life have ended up dead.〔 The actress said she never predicted that Lumen would break up with Dexter, and she found that scene difficult to perform, due to the level of intimacy the two characters had built up throughout the season.〔 She prepared herself for the scene by focusing on the fact that Lumen was healed and that the reality of the murders she committed with Dexter had sunk in. Stiles said she found Lumen's repudiation of Dexter particularly sad because she knew more about his darker side than anyone else, which meant her breakup was a rejection of him as a person. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lumen Pierce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
