BIOGRAPHY:

A bright personality, Liana radiates warmth and friendliness. Always with a kind word to share, she’s a very sociable person; craving interaction with other people as a way to fulfil her desire for affection. She harbors a deep-seated fear of loneliness and thus aims to have as many friends as possible; although she will always hold a select few in higher regard. She seeks pleasure from the simple things in life, like rain, because laughter is important to her and joy should come easy. She’s the type of person who’ll start dancing to music in the middle of the street, with no mind to anyone else.

For all that she wears her emotions on her sleeve, however, Liana holds herself quite close to the chest. Diagnosed with a number of mental health issues, she struggles to let people see her true self for fear of rejection. She tends to let her own achievements or issues slip under the radar as she doesn’t consider them important. The most important thing in Liana’s life tends to be the people she cares about: she’s very loyal and borders on self-sacrificing when their safety is at risk. Due to long-term trauma, she believes everyone will leave her in the end, so she makes sure to relish the time she spends with them.

A Chaotic Good, Liana’s morals are guided by her own principles above all else. Although her intentions generally align with those of the world around her, she’s not afraid to break rules or expectations to achieve her goals: which usually revolve around helping others. She generally tries to resolve confrontations with minimal violence; but don’t mistake her for a pacifist: she is very much capable, and willing, of killing in defense of the people she cares about. Her main fear is becoming too much like her father as a killer, and thus she’ll tend to feel each and every kill as deeply as the last; but she is built to carry such weight. Liana has, and always will, bear these burdens so no one else has to.

Anger is Liana’s biggest flaw. You might wonder how this is when she never seems to get angry; but that’s because Liana knows anger is her biggest flaw and thus, she attempts to avoid it. But Liana carries an anger deep in her very bones, an anger at the world and life and her childhood; and thus, it is an inevitable emotion. While hot and volatile on the surface, this deep anger can become cold and dangerous: when truly angry, Liana has no compassion or morals or mercy. This anger desires pain and suffering; and a truly furious Liana has no qualms about delivering such. This is why Liana works so hard to be kind and compassionate in life: to counter the weight of her anger.

A potentially dangerous enemy, she makes a better ally; but to truly know Liana at her best is to be her friend.

HISTORY:

LIANA WAS BORN AT SUNSET ON A TUESDAY. Loved by her mother and hated by her father, she grew up in a volatile household. Belittled and bullied, her father became increasingly violent after the birth of her younger brother when she was two. Rejected by her only father, she sought his approval over the years, often allowing herself to be abused if only to receive his attention. In equal measures, she sought to escape him and thus a lifelong love of art and music developed. However, shortly after she turned eleven, she became victim to her father’s most violent attack yet; and when she attempted to defend herself, she ended up killing her mother instead.

IN THE AFTERMATH, LIANA BECAME DISTANT AND AGGRESSIVE. Suffering from PTSD among other issues, she often lashed out, trying to hurt people; and even experienced increasingly frequent blackouts and memory lapses. Unable to contain or control her emotions, she turned them inwards instead, and started hurting herself. Rejecting therapy and even medication, her father locked her away in a children’s psychiatric hospital after she attacked one of her teachers. When even that failed, Liana’s last chance came in the shape of a mental health hospital designed for patients like her: located in Japan. With no other choice, Liana agreed.

FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS, LIANA WAS OFFERED THE HELP AND SUPPORT SHE NEEDED to manage her PTSD and anger. Although she resisted the aid at first, her mentor was patient and slowly she started to open up. Taught a mix of martial arts, meditation and music, she began to heal from her father’s abuse and the death of her mother; eventually picking up guitar and photography to supplement her therapy. When her mentor, with whom she was close, fell terminally ill and her progress started to regress, she was prescribed medication and it was a testament to her improvement that she willingly took it. Shortly after her mentor died, Liana was grief-stricken but managed to finish her program and sought to return to America.

AGED 15, SHE RETURNED HOME. Unable to locate her father or her brother, she was placed in the care system temporarily, being fostered by a family with another teenage boy. She returned to her dance and art classes, where she met a boy by the name of Damien, with whom she developed her first relationship. At the age of 16, Liana applied for emancipation from her father but was able to stay with her foster family through this process. During this time, her father was arrested for a number of violent crimes committed through the city, and Liana was eventually outed by the media as his daughter. Subjected to cruel trolling, both online and off, this all came to a head when her foster family’s house was set on fire. Although, no one was injured, except the family cat, Liana decided to move away to protect her family.

AFTER CHANGING HER NAME TO HER MOTHER’S MAIDEN NAME, Liana attempted to rebuild her life, while dealing with her father’s court case, and her brother’s involvement with a gang. Using her skills unconventionally, she tried to bring down this gang and free her brother before he went too far; despite his rejection of their relationship. However, she was forced to give up her endeavour when her proximity to gang activity ended with her getting shot in the shoulder. After recovering from her injury, she decided to move back to the city in which she was born and try to build a brand new life for herself. And this is where our story begins…
