What happened to Lucy Stillman

assassins-creedassassins-creed-series

It has been a while since I've played Assassin's Creed 1, and I'm trying to refresh myself on the plot as I play the newer games. I've come across something that's been bothering me. I could swear there was a scene where you see that:

Lucy Stillman's left ring finger was partially amputated, similar to Altaïr.

This was a memorable moment from the game, and caused me to draw conclusions about Lucy that are important to the plot. I am now playing AC Brotherhood, and during certain scenes I can clearly see that:

Lucy has all of her fingers!

Did I remember wrong, is this a glaring plot hole, or is there some plausible explanation?

Having had this question, I did some research which I thought I would share.

In AC 1 you do see this scene

Where Lucy flashes the Assassin version of "the shocker". Lucy Shows Bent Finger

Although there is some speculation, it is commonly held that:

Lucy is only bending her finger in this picture. Pictures even from AC 1 clearly show that she has all of her fingers. Lucy Has Her FingersThis makes sense since she had plenty of Templar oversight and it is a very hard trait to hide. Also, since you later learn that the hidden blade no longer required the amputation in more modern times - it would have been a very extreme way to show loyalty (which is exactly what I thought it was - but in retrospect this makes more sense).
