      DESCRIPTION:
        → Sexy. Drop dead gorgeous. Enchanting. These are just a few of the words that Lisbeth has heard over the years to describe her. She is abnormally tall for a woman, standing at about 6' without heels on. Depending on her shoes, that could vary rather widely. Her height is only accented by her long, powerful legs that look so delicate and feminine upon initial inspection. But when you look closer, you can see the tension and muscles that they are comprised of, just like the rest of her body. She is no delicate flower by any means.

There are her curves, but those aren't things that she exactly likes to dwell upon hm? Yes, she has a lovely rack, is there anything else you'd like to contribute to the conversation? No? Then get out. Her voice is worldly, as if she has spoken to many people, has sung, has cried, and has lived. Yes, that is another excellent addition to her description. The way that she carries herself is of one that is familiar with how to be elegant and proper, whom has brushed shoulders with the elite in a country.

She keeps her black hair long and flowing except for the bangs that frame her face, accenting the oval quality of it. While her features and hair color point to her asiatic descent, her blue eyes are quite striking as they gaze upon you from out of her pale skin. She hardly wears much make-up, and even if she does it is only for special occasions that require it. She does have a tattoo on her back in a deep red the color of roses but with a dash of purple thrown in. It is in a circle that has four triangles pointing out like a claw. So three of them are on top of the circle and the last is alone and in the center at the bottom.

CHIMERA FORM:

So when she's in her chimera form (which is rare), her scales are a crimson red with black diamond bands that have cream centers. Her belly is also the same cream color. Her scales extend over most of her body, and her legs transform into a serpents tail so she is a Lamia. She also gains two pairs of arms so she has six total.


        PERSONALITY:
        → "Yo-ho~ She will call in a playful, yet coy sort of voice. Playfulness is a huge part of her nature. Whether thats flirting (fake, real, or friendly), easy jokes, it doesn't matter. She likes, no thats a lie, she loves to have fun. If there is no fun going on, she'll just have to make it, won't she? Oh and don't be too serious about it hm? She truly doesn't mean any harm! Unless you've done her wrong. Then thats an entirely different matter! Then she'll make you suffer a painful death that may or may not be slow. Depends on the crime, and how she's feeling.

Despite this love of fun, Lisbeth is a very mature individual whom may as well act like she's twice her age. Responsibilities are first and foremost to her. Responsibility to friends, work, family, home life, etc. She puts them all before herself on her priorities list. You could say she has a tendency to be the 'mom' of a group of people. When push comes to shove though, she does realize sometimes she does have to watch out for herself too.

There is a certain effect that she has on a room, it is as if you can tell there is a shift in the air. Her presence is very commanding, but not overwhelming or intimidating (unless she need/wants to be intimidating). You know when she is there, and it draws people in. Or at least so far as she's observed. Often times she ends up the leader of a group, remaining calm and level-headed no matter what the situation might be. Danger is no stranger to her. In fact, she somehow embraces the darkness that life holds.

She is smart and observant as a whip, and is an advocate for being blunt as opposed to sugar coating things. As friendly and warm as she can be, she can be just as distant and cold. Some have even wondered if she was unfeeling and a heartless bitch. She likes remaining a mystery to folks, it keeps things interesting.

        LOVE:
        → Snakes
        → Doing what she wants
        → Fun!
        → Reading
        → Deep reds, purples, and gold
        → Dressing up (costumes, fancy clothes, whatever)
        → Japanese maple trees
        → Pineapple cake
        → Music (Especially the cello)
        → Dancing

        HATE:
        → Incompetency
        → Self-Pity
        → When she feels weak or helpless
        → When she misses those who have already passed on. It's stupid and pointless, why does it happen?!
        → Manipulators
        → Misogynistic bastards
        → Judgemental people
        → When freedom is restricted


        DEEPEST SECRET:
        → She became a chimera because of the death of her husband, Martin Holmes. She was rather specific about what she wanted.
       → She took revenge for her husband.



        HISTORY:
        → Lisbeth was born Lisbeth Persephone Truong to two delighted parents in New Orleans, Creta. What you must know first and foremost is that her parents didn't necessarily follow the straight and narrow path. In fact, both of them had their illegal jobs besides their legitimate ones. Her father was a low but respectable position in a Xingese mob, and her mother owned a fetish house. On the outside, her father was just a prominent business man in a company, and her mother was a manager for a fashion company. You can only imagine the life she had growing up.

So right off the bat, Lisbeth knew the law. She understood what was right and wrong, and just how to keep surviving in the topsy turvy world. She learned how to use her charms and smarts to stay ahead, or to get what she wanted. But everyone always complimented on what a sweet child she was. She didn't go out of her way to beat up kids, she waited until no one else would answer a question in school, and she excelled at volleyball and track. She even modeled for her mother's company a few times.

As if it weren't obvious, her parents did have some odd quirks. Like the fact her father wanted to retain one of the oldest traditions ever, arranged marriage. Thats right, Lisbeth had an arranged marriage. It was on her sixteenth birthday that this was announced to her, and you can imagine the shock that she felt at this. She made all the arguments (What if we don't love each other? What if he's cruel? Why are you doing this? Don't I have a say?), but to no avail. It was going to happen whether she wanted it to or not. It was probably one of the few times she felt some kind of discontent towards her parents.

At first she really didn't want to ever meet this boy, whoever he was. This was her life, she should be the one to choose something as important as this! And she was only sixteen for heavens sake! It wasn't until she was twenty that she met him for the first time. Ironically, it was at her work. Even more ironically, she had no idea who he was, and he didn't know who she was either.

His name was Martin Holmes, and they met while she was working at a cafe as a waitress. He had been reading No Exit by Jean Paul Sartre, and she commented upon it. They chatted for a few moments before she got shooed away to do serve a couple of people. He was there for three hours, and she took time when she could to go back over to talk more. He soon became a frequent customer, and they always found time to talk to each other. By about the third visit, they had the others number. Oh the irony.

It was a Saturday in March when her parents told her that she was going to finally meet her husband-to-be, and that she would behave during dinner. Pfft, right. Bring him on. Someone should have been video-taping when she came down the stairs once their guests arrived, only to freeze and point at the same time he did to the other. Their jaws dropped and they both shouted, "It's you!" Well, after that, she wasn't so sure that this arranged marriage was going to be so bad.

And it really wasn't. They were married in September, and she had never been so happy in her entire life. They both finished college, working their respective jobs (both helped in her fathers company or some such), and then they looked at each other. What did they want to do now? Things were starting to get a little dodgy around the homestead with cops and tensions with wars that they held no interest in. Her parents were the ones that ended up answering that for them when they suddenly announced one day that they were going to move to West City in Amestris. Martin's family was also going to move.

So they packed their bags and left behind the only city and country they had ever known to move to this land of a harsh language, but a certain serenity to it. The young married couple moved into an apartment together, Martin got a job as a detective like he wanted, and Lisbeth became a model. Yes, her mother was her manager. This was when Spade first entered her life. Spade came to West to investigate a particular case, and ended up working with her husband on it. The two got along rather swimmingly, and she was no exception. The couple became close with the distinctive playboy, and even after the case was done, they stayed in touch. Sometimes when Lisbeth would get modeling work at Central she would get to see him. When you know it gets better, however, of course its going to get worse.

It was when Martin began working a very particular case when she was 26 that the trouble began. Of course things led down a darker road than they initially expected, and it cost them. Lisbeth had almost been kidnapped (her martial arts training when she was younger came in handy then), and.... it cost Martin his life. She had been at home, prepping the couch for their movie night when the knock came that would shatter her world. They told her that he had been poisoned, but they weren't sure how. He had a rather particular neurotoxin in his body with no clear way as to how it got there. The investigation was 'on-going.' She demanded to see the body, they told her no. She was never fantastic at listening to rules.

So she snuck into the morgue that night, unable to accept that this was happening to her. Her husband.... dead? No... No there was something! There had to be something, what weren't they telling her?! She found him on the slab, cold and lifeless. If not for the tinge of blue he had, he would have looked like he was just sleeping. She put on gloves, a mask, and made sure her hair was tied back before examining him. She almost missed the puncture mark completely in his neck, and that was when she knew that it hadn't been some bar drink or snake. Now this was personal.

After doing some digging via her parents contacts, she found a branch of the government who was creating chimeras, and she told them she wanted them to make her one. And she had very specific instructions. They were dubious at first, but they didn't question her and went through with it. Soon enough she was a mix of a snake and a spider. There was an odd mishap in how many arms she had in her transformed state, but it wasn't that big a deal. Her goal was now that much closer. She was going to kill those bastards who took away her Martin.

After much searching, Lisbeth did find those men. And she did make them pay. What she didn't know is that they were related to the Yakuza, specifically the Yamaguchi-gumi. Thankfully for her, they were lower on the ladder and not very well known so the likelihood of possible repercussions was rather low. But now that her revenge conquest was completed, what to do... Spade. She called up their old friend and caught up with him. Apparently he hadn't been having such a hot time either. He suggested that she join the military, it was what he had done. So she did just that. And you know what? She doesn't regret the decision at all. She can keep an eye out for her family, she has a sense of structure that had been missing from her life, and it allowed her to try to move forward in a new avenue of life (and bury herself in work). Due to her talents, she asked to be moved to South City upon its reconstruction. They were much appreciated, and she knows her husband would be proud of the work she has done. She just wishes she got to see Spade to thank him for his help.

Holy boobs. Just an idea, but you might want to extract and put separately that picture of her whilst in Lamia form - for simple ease of access if nothing more.

I'm intoxicated with exhaustion at the moment, but I'll look over this proper tomorrow morning when I'm not feeling lethargic as all hell. Looks good. Boobs.

APPROVED

Holmes is right down Spade's alley. It scares me a little, but oh, does it pave the damn way for him! I'm picturing that they met through her husband and detective work (since you do know I hope that Spade is a detective). Also, because Spade went to college in Creta so he could have known her husband through that.

She began to have a family there?? Maybe she joined the military because she ran into Spade in the morgue and he suggested it? She could be at Central under him and they are good friends or something? But as of recent she hasn't seen much of him and when she does, he's all frazzled and looks like he hasn't slept in a week?

For some reason, I'm picturing them making jokes like her calling him Sherlock or something because he makes fun of her last name. XD I don't know for some reason I can just see it.

Also. Mako. If her family is connected to a Xingese gang thing, then Mako will know them. So maybe the Yamaguchi-gumi were the ones to kill her husband or something?? It creates PLOT. *_*

Rolling rank...
