==Publication history==
==Characterization==
Of everyone on the team, Louise is the one who is most likely to be singled out as genuinely insane; for example, in "Desert Rats" Louise flays a terrorist to death with his own knife, and in The Eleventh Movie, she brutally maims an arms trafficker, preserving his remains as food for her dogs. Not only that, but roughly 75% of her dialogue also consists of chewing several tons of scenery per minute, her more lucid moments coming during slower scenes. One can tell when she's about to go postal when her eye starts twitching and she starts talking slowly (sometimes in a chillingly serene tone), in which case, one should immediately pray to whatever god they worship; she also has piercing dark-red eyes (which are not natural, and are the result of how angry she was while undergoing the Project Hercules process), which Jenny declared a "deep crimson flag" upon first meeting her (Jenny's concerns were immediately vindicated by Louise naming her dogs after notorious serial killers); said eyes will even glow red (accompanied by a distinct audio cue recycled from the sound made by the Mammoth Car from Speed Racer), signifying that she's either done toying with her quarry, or finds what her next victim has done to be truly reprehensible. The team once attempted to subject her to "powerful Adlerian therapy" to help her psychosis; every therapist they tried ended up committing suicide. She also enjoys giving her victims deaths she considers especially humorous (such as forcing one victim to breathe helium until they die, so her last words were in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, as well as fatally lobotomizing a depraved kids' show host with a rusty ice pick), All things considered, she lives up to her surname, and is considered the Token Evil Teammate. Despite this, Louise is fully aware of her psychosis, once saying she joined the team to stop other psychos from killing and destroying with reckless abandon; she is perfectly capable of rational thought and having a civilized conversation when off-duty, and lives in constant fear that she may one day go too far and have to be put down like a mad dog. Her area of interest is military history.
