The cold city breeze tangles her brown hair.
This is why she leaves it long. So when she is committing another crime and the adrenaline is at its most with the blood of her veins burning, her hair falls beautifully and rebellious. Just as Lisse Merritt is.
Her family was the typical American family you see in the movies, all blonde, eating blueberry pancakes and having a trophy wife. Plain boring with no sudden turns and no spontaneous things. So when the blonde genetic predominates it is obvious the brunette girl doesn't belong there.
At least when you paid attention to genetics and genotypes.
It seems Thalia Merritt wasn't the best mother someone could ask for, but being fair, Lisse Merritt wasn't the best daughter either.
Just having 11 years and not knowing a thing about the real world, the family that appeared to be nice and charming threw her to a orphanage with no such things as goodbyes and good-night kisses. However, a eleven year old that was rude and introvert wasn't a foster family fantasy nor any human for the record.
Just at the young age of twelve she climbed the wall that was in the middle of her freedom and jumped to her new life. Full of knives, guns, diamonds and stereotypical black outfits.
Six years later she is about to steal Gold & Stone Jewellery Store and about to bump in the man she last expected to be after Diamonds.
