LISA "LOONY TOON" ROTH.

DOSSIER.

BIOGRAPHY.

trigger warnings: parental death, accident, drinking/alcohol abuse

☆    Lisa was born to quite a normal family. Upper middle class. Nothing special, really. She dreamed of being a fashion designer like her mother. Everything was fine. She had a good amount of friends in high school. She went to college. And then, one day, it all went wrong.

She got the call while she was in English class. Her mother was on the phone. And she was sad. Lisa could tell she was trying to keep it together.

Her father had been in an accident. He was in the hospital. Lisa went back into class, collected her books and claimed a family emergency, which it was, and immediately drove to the hospital.

The doctors did everything they could. But it was too late. They couldn’t save him. Her father died at 7 PM on November 18th.

For a while she could go on, pretend everything was okay, go to her classes etcetera. But after a while, she couldn’t. She broke down.

And sadly, Lisa turned to not so good coping mechanisms. She started going to more parties, and paying less attention to her grades. Eventually she dropped out of school, which leads to today.

She’s “working at a nightclub that was called The Avenue. The barman used to call her little Lisa Loony Toon.” (L.I.F.E. G.O.E.S. O.N. by Noah and the Whale lyrics). No one knows her real last name. No one knows her story.

She’s just a hostess/burlesque performer at a nightclub. She still has her unhealthy coping mechanisms that involve drinking and one night stands.

Yet deep inside, there’s the old Lisa, waiting to come out.

The question is, will she let her?

Will Lisa eventually land on her feet and no longer be swallowed by grief?

(Arc 1 ends here, Arc 2:)

It takes a while, but she will. After saving up a ton of money from her performances, Lisa goes back to college and studies fashion and business. She designs as well. When she graduates, she becomes a fashion designer and entrepreneur. She starts returning her mother’s calls again. She gets sober. She comes out the other side, stronger. But she’s still got “deep brown eyes that have seen it all.” (more L.I.F.E. G.O.E.S. O.N. by Noah and the Whale lyrics). Oh well, life goes on. And she is determined to go on with it, and to live it to the fullest.
