Lucy selfish?

The Lucy who was risking her life to save Loke, whom she barely knew. The Lucy who still attacked a Thunder Lacrima even after running out of magic power (which increased the chance of her not surviving it). The Lucy was willing to trade in anything she had, including her life, to free Aries from Angel's rule. The Lucy who agreed (insisted more like it) to be Cana's partner in the S-Class exam to help her remain in the guild and sort out her problems with her father. The Lucy who refused to leave Natsu's side in the fight against Kain even though it looked as if she'd die there. The Lucy who, after almost being killed in Naval Battle, only thought of how her loss reflected on the guild.

That Lucy? Yeah... totally selfish...

And what do you mean "suddenly introduce Lucy"? She was the very first character shown in Fairy Tail. And she's chosen as the story teller, if you will, because being the newcomer she's best suited for prompting the introductions and explanations. Nobody would have any reason to tell Natsu, who's been in the guild for more than ten years, who the other people are, how the S-Class ranking works, what's up with the 2nd level, ect. But the newcomer Lucy wouldn't know all that, so someone explains it to her and in the process the readers also learn about it, right in the story itself, rather than having another scene with the disembodied story-teller voice.
