Looks:

Style: In the office, she wears pencil skirts and button up blouses with her hair pulled into a tight bun. She looks rather stern and bitter which is fine by her. She wants to be taken seriously when at work. At home or when going out she's in jeans, boots, and depending on where she is, either a v neck t-shirt or sexy top (usually a low cut halter or corset). She will add a jacket (leather) if it’s cold or if she just wants to feel more intimidating.

Possessions: A pack of cigarettes, bottle of vodka (though this is kept in her loft), and mace. Though she usually ends up punching the person in the face before she can use the mace.

Voice: She has a very sultry voice most times except at work when it sounds more intimidating. She has a noticeable Russian accent. Luisa is not afraid to get loud. Though…she normally is anyway.

Personality: Luisa is a very blunt, tough woman. She isn't into anything girly or dainty: clothes, attitude, music, ect. She took after her father in this way. She doesn't like anyone weak and often criticizes American men, who she believes are pathetic due to all the stereotypes she hears about them.(fat, lazy, can't do anything themselves, ect) Luisa is very dominant and will do whatever it takes to be on top. (This applies in the bedroom as well). She’s determined and once she sets her mind to something she won't stop until she succeeds.

Luisa dislikes and is confused about the idea of love. She sees love as an emotion for fools who aren't strong enough to take care of themselves so need to rely on someone else. However, she is fine with one-night stands or having a friend with benefits. She just doesn't understand the need to get emotionally attached to someone. But really she just hasn't found Mr. Right. (Most men are too intimidated by her.)

Despite her scary and how mature she comes off, Luisa has a soft, more childish, side. Whenever she feels lonely or sad, she'll go up onto the roof of her building and if she's lucky will see a star to make a wish on. Luisa does not let others close enough to learn of this habit of hers. She is embarrassed by it and believes if others knew of this they wouldn't take her seriously.

History: Luisa was born and raised in Aniva, Russia. Her father began teaching her law when she was 5 in hopes she would follow in his footsteps and become a prosecutor at his law firm. Because she spent so much time with her father, Luisa became a no nonsense sort of girl. She had a serious outlook on life and took her studies and life very seriously. Her mother tried to get Luisa's sensitive side back but to no avail. Luisa hardened her heart and decided that it’s best to be strong and not to let others in too close. Because of this, she didn't have many friends when she was growing up. This made her rather lonely. Yes, she as a hard ass, but Luisa still longed for the company of others.

She spent her free time alone, reading books and studying or going for stroll when she got tired of being in her room. It was during these walks where she would wonder if she was on the right path. But she would always quickly push these thoughts out of her mind and return to her studies.

Luisa has a younger sister named Nina. Nina was everything Luisa disliked. Girly, dainty, sweet, and in her eyes: weak. They often clashed and very rarely ever got along. To Luisa's joy, her sister became a model so their paths rarely crossed anymore since Nina was so busy with her career. Nina didn't hate her older sister and vice versa but they were too different to ever become close. This saddened Nina who always secretly looked up to Luisa.

As she got older, she started to make her own choices and to her father's dismay began studying to become a defense attorney. Her father and her got into a huge argument where she swore she wouldn't return until she was a top-notch defense attorney so she could beat her father in court. So Luisa packed her things and was on the next flight to America. She rented an apartment in New York City, NY and started working at a small law firm. Luisa quickly became a top attorney at the firm and hopes to one day take it over and make it her own. She was then able to buy a loft in a more upscale part of the city. And that is where she is now. Slowly working her way up to the top.
