Tropes
Appearance
Vixen
Impossibly Low Neckline, Absolute Cleavage - Vixen has one of those outfits that makes you cock your head to the side and ask 'How exactly is she staying in there? I mean, shouldn't gravity be making those suckers pop out?'. Normally, the answer would be yes...yes they should be trying to escape. However, Lorna uses her theater secrets to make sure to avoid most wardrobe malfunctions while pushing up her bust to give as glimpse of her cleavage that leaves little to the imagination. In her mind it helps sell her roll as a 'vixen'. She doesn't really mind being oogled. In fact most of the time she can find ways to use the way her costume fits her to her advantage.
Combat Stilettos - It isn't easy to keep up speed and run long distances. It is even harder to do so with ease and grace in heels. It isn't a skill that came naturally to the foxy hero; it is one that she has developed with practice and patience. Why go to the effort? Lorna feels that the heels enhance her figure and pasture to give her just a little extra dash of sex appeal. On top of that she finds that the heal itself can be useful as a back up weapon if a fight isn't going as well as planned.
Animal Eyes - Vixen sports an exotic set of eyes. The are Golden brown and gold with black slits down the middle. No, the are obviusly not real, but Lorna felt that the contacts added a nice vulpine flair to her look.
Caïssa = White Queen/ Black Queen
Coming as the story progresses...
Lorna
Beautiful All Along - Truth be told, Lorna is a pretty girl, maybe even beautiful. However, she tends to not emphasize any of her features unless she is in costume or going out for the night. Even though she knows she can put on make up to 'be' pretty, she doesn't really see it. Others around her usually do. She doesn't get it.
Personality
Good Bad Girl, The Tease, My Girl Is Not A Slut - As Vixen, Lorna portrays herself as being very sexual. She is flirty in a way that often has her seem like a tease and a slut. While she can be a tease, she really isn't a slut. No, she isn't a virgin, but she also doesn't just fall into bed with anyone. Though she has had a few one night stands, they are far and few between. She is a good girl that is very skilled as playing off the role of a bad one.
Cunning Like A Fox -Lorna is quick, clever, and cunning. All qualities she uses to her asset. She doesn't believe that strength or training without wit are of any use to anyone. Brute force and blind luck can only take you so far.
Silly Rabbit, Romance is for Kids!All Love is Unrequited, The First Cut is the Deepest - Even though she is still young, Lorna has come to believe that all thoughts of Romance are flawed. It isn't that she doesn't believe that love exists, she just doesn't really believe that it exists for her. From her terrible past experiences with her Exes she has learned that 'love' opens you up to be vulnerable, and most likely hurt. It is terrible, painful, and always leaves to her suffering from emotional damage. At times she wonders if there is something wrong with her that makes her so worthless to other and unlovable. It has all added up to a fear of love and romance. It isn't that part of her doesn't still want that, but no part of her wants to suffer the way she has till this point ever again. Thus, Love is something she will probably tend to run away form in order to protect herself.
Broken Bird - Her failed relationships haven't just left her with a broken-heart and Philophobia. She can also be a bit jaded at times. Lorna is nice and wants to be able to see the best in others, but often can't. She often worries that new friends are going to take the path of old. She is worried that a seemingly nice person will turn out to be a real asshat. She really desperately wants to trust, but it isn't an easy thing for her. She also has a wounded ego and low view of her self worth. This leads her to tolerate being treated in ways that she would never allow anyone else to be treated. She will suffer some minor abuse just to not feel nearly alone as she feels like she is. However, she isn't stupid and has her limits. At a certain point she will tell anyone who is being rude to her to go get bent.
Morality and Philosophy
Though Shalt Not Kill - Lorna has never killed and never wants to kill. It is something that she isn't sure she could live with. Her whole fighting style is built around taking down her opponents in non-lethal ways. In a situation where she had to kill or watch someone she loved be killed, she would most likely try to put herself in the middle to take the blow for them. She, after all, doesn't see herself as anything or anyone too special.
Neutral Good - She is more or less a 'good' girl. She tries to do the 'right' thing and doesn't like to see others around her unhappy. However that being said, she doesn't always feel that what is the legal way is always the right way. Laws are an ever changing area of human culture. They are bound to have their flaws in them. She tends to weigh the issues for herself and try to find what is right and what is wrong based on what her heart tells her.
Martial Pacifist - it isn't so much that she is a 'picky eater' as she has personal diet morals. Lorna considers herself a pescetarian (no that isn't a religion). While she will eat dairy, eggs, and Seafood, she doesn't eat any other kind of meats. Lorna loves Veggies and fruit. In the past she been accused of eating like a 'rabbit'. She just laughs it off. She also laughs off people that tell her that she doesn't 'need' to diet. It isn't about the weight of her body, it is about the weight of her conscience.
Combat and Skills
Mixed martial Arts - While others may have more fighting styles than she does, she really does have a nice little mixture of martial arts and is always up to learn more. She's a quick learner, but is otherwise limited to human limits. Beyond that she is quick and agile; this allows her to bounce around quickly between her targets and strike swiftly before moving out of harms way.
Le Parkour - It is common knowledge that the fastest way between any two points is a straight line; As the crow flies. Unfortunately for Lorna she doesn't have flight as a super power and doesn't have the money to afford any type of air craft. Parkour works for her though. While she can't leap and flip her way over everything, the skill does make travel time quicker for her. It has also had the benefit of improving her dexterity, reaction time, and endurance. Plus, it is wicked fun!
Smart People Play Chess - Lorna's father taught her the game at the age of three. Mr. Fox pushed her and never let her win because of age or skill level. Eager to please her father she pushed herself until she could eventual beat him. In high school she was on the chess team. To date she is the only person, living or dead, that can (and always does) beat John Mathias at the game.
Quirks
Not a Morning Person - Nope, not at all. It isn't unusual to find her sleeping in till around 11am. She can do earlier, but begrudgingly and with ample amounts of coffee in hand. This isn't because she's overly lazy, but she's a night owl and tends to keep late hours.
Sexier Alter Ego - Lorna is pretty, but she's shaped Vixen to be quite a vamp. In the beginning it was just because the 'misfits' wanted to use her to the team's advantage as rape bait, but now she keeps the image because she knows sex sells.
Background and Events
Bully Hunter - From a young age Lorna was very anti-bullying. This was due to her attachment to Ellis and his ability to attract them. Ever since she could make a sloppy fist and strike out at 'evil' she has been putting in the effort to protect the weak. This doesn't stop at Ellis; she generally doesn't like to see anyone get pushed around or abused.
Prank Date, The First Cut is the Deepest - For Lorna what took place with Lark was a step beyond a prank date. It was a prank relationship that broke her. Very few people know exactly how wounded Lorna was by this affair. It set her up to be a little paranoid with the people she was with. It also earned her the reputation in High School for being a slut; Which is odd, because Lark was the first and last person she had sex with until her college years.
The Casanova - Rook was charming. Perhaps too charming. His suave act pulled Lorna in, but it blew up in his face once she found out that he was pulling the same routine with other girls. Not only was she going to let herself be taken in as a fool any more, she also wasn't going to let him do the same to the other girls.
The Peeping Tom, Stalker With Crush, Attempted Rape - Lorna's relationship with Hunter was a complicated one. She rebounded into him after things went to hell with Rook. It wasn't really a long relationship and she never had sex with him. After a few weeks Hunter started to get possessive and clingy. Lorna felt like he was reading her emails and texts and couldn't shake the feeling that he was following her. Feeling freaked out by his behavior she ended the relationship. Only he didn't want it to end. He continued his odd behavior claiming that he loved her and they were meant to be together. In some ways she felt bad for him so she humored him and allowed him to remain her friend. Her mistake. One night he walked her home from a party to try and force himself on her once he got her inside her apartment. Things where looking bad till she grabbed a wine bottle and broke it over his head. With him knocked out she called the police and Hunter was arrested and sent to prison for attempted rape.
Boxing Lesson - The episode with hunter put her on edge and not without reason. Feeling jumpy and afraid she decided she wanted to be able to take care of herself. She sighed up for kick boxing lessons that lead dominoed into her learning other fighting styles and eventually becoming a hero.
Hipster,Attention Whore,True art is Angsty - Fed up with Males in general, Lorna decide to try her luck with the ladies. It turns out that it went just about as well as all her other relationships today. Demali lured her in and got her hooks into her, but it was a very emotional relationship. The other woman was selfish, pretentious, and often over dramatic. Lorna would end the relationship only to be pulled back in again. It was a wild yo-yo back and forth till she found Demali in bed with Rook. At at about that point she decided to walk away for good. Lorna has kept in mild contact, but only enough to not be considered a bitch.
Manipulative Bastard,Psycho Psychologist - In attempts to work out all her issues Lorna started to see Dr. Hugo. She felt like she may have been making progress, but after a few months of therapy she somehow let him talk her into bed with him. It wasn't something she was proud of and she kept it to herself with a vow that it wouldn't happen again. She kept seeing him in order to work out her issues, but the 'affair' kept happening and she couldn't explain why. Normally she had more will power to resist than that. Feeling uneasy about the whole ordeal she started skipping her appointments with him and finally stopped making them at all.
The Rock Star, Groupie Brigade, Amicable Exes, You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry - Strangely, her relationship with Wyatt started out to be even more therapeutic than her stressful therapy. Resisting him at first she was taken in by his charm and laid back attitude. They actually worked really well together romantically. However, Wyatt was on the road often with kidnap Karren and didn't seem to want to quit his habit of enduing the groupies. This started to wear down on her self-esteem even though he swore up and down to her that they meant nothing and she meant everything. Then he picked the wrong groupie and things kind of went to hell for him. Lorna tried to stick by his side, but couldn't cope with how odd the situation had become. Breaking up with him they have stayed good friends. She just couldn't be in a relationship with someone that could be so volatile and dangerous.
Character and Motivations
It Amused Me - Her reasons for learning to fight were stated as above. Her reasons for becoming a hero, at first, were a little more simple than that. Ellis was putting together a rag-tag band of heroes and asked Lorna to join them. With a shrug she pretty much said "Sure, why not? Anything for you, Ellis." That is how it all started. After that, in the beginning, she kept at it partly because it amused her and partly because she knew being a real 'hero' brightened Ellis' life.
Never Be Hurt Again - Then there was the part about seeing people hurt. She could related to the pain that the people she was helping where going through. Maybe not exactly, but she knew what it felt like to have others try to take advantage of you and cause pain. After he trials with Hunter she'd made a vow to herself (one that she hasn't always managed to keep) that she would never let anyone hurt her again (emotionally or physically). After she took up the mantle as Vixen she vowed to try not to let others be hurt again either.
Relationships
Friends with Benefits - While she prefers not to have Romantic Relationships, she does have a few sexual ones. It is usually people that she trusts and that she knows won't mind if she can't fully commit to them. At the moment she only has two, with a few that are off and on.
Manther/Ellis Hobbes
Childhood Friends, Like Brother and Sister, Platonic Life Partners, Fat Best Friends, You Are Not Alone - Lorna really couldn't say enough in praise of Ellis. He has been her best friend probably since she could push herself to crawl after his heels. Some people may think it is sad that the only person she considers a 'real' friend is her cousin, but she thinks it is special. Not everyone gets to have a best friend built into their life from the beginning. All her feelings for him are platonic, but she really thinks that he is the only person she would ever think of marrying (if it were legal). There are no romantic or sexual feelings, but he really is the only person who can continuously make her smile. Neither of them had school days that were free of harassment from other children, but Lorna made out better than Ellis did. This lead to her being rather protective of him. She has never been afraid to fight for him. Growing up together he was more of a brother to her than her real brother was. Mostly because there is less of an age difference. Lorna has never judge Ellis, but she is super proud that he is working so hard at self improvement and finally shedding his 'baby pounds'.
Colosso
Friends with Benefits - Formerly; The sex was amazing enough that this relationship evolved into Michael's first real romantic relationship. However, it wasn't soon that she learned that they would be...
Better as Friends - While the sex was good and they got along great, they didn't really have 'that' much in common. Lorna still adores Colosso and wants him to be happy, but she knows that nothing romantic between them would work. At the moment she's trying to push him to ask out his assistant, Honey Huckabee.
Metro Moth
Courtly Love, Lady and Knight - Since she's in another relationship at the moment she's asked him to be her 'knight'. The person who she could trust to defend her honor and keep her safe from making bad romantic decisions.
Unresolved Sexual Tension - It could be a one way pull, but Lorna does feel dawn to Alex. It makes her feel kind of twitchy. Despite her reputation she really doesn't sleep around much, but she will admit to having fantasied about him before and really wanting to know what it would be like to spend a night or two with him.
Billy Needs an Organ - Life is complicated. A Heroes life is dangerous. When Metro Moth was tortured and almost beaten to death she made sure he made it out alive (with help of course). However, when the knowledge that he only had one kidney and it was failing, Lorna didn't hesitate to volunteer her parts. She'd give up anything she could to save his life. Now he has part of her with him till the day he dies. If that isn't love, then what is?
John Mathias
Red String of Fate - Lorna isn't sure if it is something either of them has control of, but when she's with him she just feels like it is the most natural fit in the world. It seems like it was just 'meant to be'. The question still remains if this is the case or if he is actually a False Soulmate?
Love at First Sight - Most people are surprised to learn that Lorna didn't actual meet John in Millennium City, but rather on a trip to Chicago. She'd been sitting in the Art Institute sketching out a picture of Cupid and Psyche when he came up to her and told her she was going to allow him to buy her a cup of coffee. There was a strange mixture of charm and disgust that she couldn't mistake for anything else but love. However, she let him in and allowed him to buy her that cup of coffee. She really never expected to see him ever again. As far as she was concerned having a talk and a mocha couldn't get her and her foolish heart into 'too' much trouble.
Dance of Romance - The second time they met they did share a dance. He was so charming that she couldn't help but be swept away by him. He is sharp, focused, and graceful. After they talked a bit they leaned that both of them were taught to dance by their mothers as a relatively young age.
Pair the Smart Ones - The thing that hooked Lorna was that for the first time she felt that she could open up and talk to someone about any subject. It isn't that she thinks other people are 'dumb', it is just that it is rare for her to feel comfortable letting on to the truth of her genius level intelligence. In their talks about everything from art to science, religion to world events to whatever she's found it very easy to feel a connection to him and work past her love phobias.
Possessions
Leonberger by L.A. Shepard
Big Friendly Dog - Lorna's Dog Oberon is a Leonberger. At 164 pounds he out weighs his mistress by 20 pounds. He is a BIG dog with a mean bark. However, he is really super friendly as long as he doesn't feel that Lorna is being threatened. He is laid back, most of the time letting others do as they will around him. This huge dog has earned a few nicknames. She sometimes calls him Obi for short, This has lead to her cousin calling him Obi Wan, and on top of that Lorna's Aunt calls him 'Ronnie'. Most of the time he can be a lazy dog, but he does love to run and play. His favorite game is soccer. He will tap the ball around with his paws, play keep away from others, and try to get it to the goal. She feels bad for keeping him cooped up in a little apartment, but she wanted a big dog to help make her feel safe and to help with the loneliness. Taking some pity on him when she will be gone for more then a few hours at a time she has made arrangements to let him stay with her Aunt.
Significant Sketchbook - It isn't really one significant sketch book, but rather a series of them. When she can she likes to carry a sketch book with her because she never knows when something will catch her eye or she will be hit by a wave of inspiration. Lorna fills the books from back to front usually with multiple sketches on each page. Old books never get thrown away when she's done with them. They get indexes of what is in them put in the front and shelved in her apartment. Art is a way of escaping for her and it can calm her down or give her needed time to think. Unfortunately, she has not yet discovered a way to carry a sketch book with her fox costume. There is just no where to put one.
Profession
Drama Club - Lorna was raised in the theatre. Some of the first steps she ever took were on a stage. It is a part of her life she never grew out of or moved away from. She has either been on or behind the stage since she could remember. She did acting classes as a kid In High Schools he was in drama club and involved in some way with all the plays the High School put on while she was a student there. In College it only seemed natural that she should major in Theatre. Over all her time she has experienced different aspects of the Theatre...her favorite two have always been costume design and acting.
Textile Work is Feminine, Impossibly Cool Clothes - Though she loved the way it felt to be on stage, in the end she elected to go into wardrobe and costuming instead. It just came easily for her. She can design, make patterns, and sew costumes (and outfits) with ease. It is the way it feels to create something. It gives her a feeling like she is creating art. Her talent gives her a bonus. It allows her to keep her job even with her knack for missing work on short notice. She is in demand. She may not be the best costume designer in town, but she is one of the bests.
Do It For the Art, Starving Artist - Lorna isn't exactly starving. She makes enough money to get by, but not really much more. After rent, utilities, food, and pet care costs she really has almost nothing left. There is rarely more than an extra $200 in her bank account at any one time. Despite how painful her bank balance is, she wouldn't give up on her 'art'. It makes her feel more complete than any amount of money would.
