==Biography==
===Ironheade's Uprising===
When Ophelia brings Eddie Riggs to the settlement, Lita is wary of him, but listens to him explain how he reached their world. She reacts with disbelief at the notion that Eddie's belt buckle was responsible for transporting him into the Brutal Land, as the buckle is made in the image of Ormagoden, the creator of the world. Due to a prophecy that Ormagoden would bring a warrior into the world to either destroy or deliver humanity (Lita sides with the 'destroy' interpretation), Lita, along with Lars and Ophelia view Eddie as the 'chosen one' spoken of in the legend. Although Lita suggests that Eddie must really want to return to his own world, Eddies dismisses her and begins planning with Lars on how to liberate humanity from Lionwhyte and the Coil.
After Eddie frees the Headbangers from the Crushing Pit, he introduces them to Lars and Lita back at Bladehenge. When Ophelia appears, mortally wounded from an unknown escapade, Lars resolves to take her to the Kill Master, a medicine-man who lives near the summit of Tophat Mountain. Lita tries to stop him, believing that Lionwhyte and his troops will be looking for them and that they all need to lie low for a while. When Lars ignores her and sets out for the mountain, she tries to get Eddie to stop him on her behalf, but Eddie dismisses her again, saying he intends to give Lars a ride there instead. Left with no real options, Lita follows them, catching up at the base of Tophat Mountain.
After helping the others fight through Lionwhyte's troops to reach the summit, Lita and the others discover only the Metal Queen is capable of spinning bass strings thick enough for the kind of deep riff able to heal Ophelia. Lita sees it as too dangerous to attempt and tries to stop Lars, asking him to just 'let her go.' Lars accuses her of wanting Ophelia to die, causing Lita to react with some shock despite her obvious distrust of Ophelia. While she argues with Lars, Eddie slips away and manages to recover the bass strings from the Metal Queen's Lair.
===March on Battersmith===
When Lionwhyte attacks Bladehenge later on, Lita is at first reluctant to stand her ground, stating that Bladehenge isn't a fortress. When Eddie has an idea for defending against the approaching army however, she joins the others in preparing for battle. Once the Megastage has been set up, she marvels at the activity of a nearby Fan Geyser, saying the ancient Titans were said to have used a mystical force to power their entire civilization.
After a spirited battle, Ironheade is victorious at Bladehenge and begins their Tour of Destruction to bring down Lionwhyte. When trying to pass through The Cleave of the Impaler, Lita challenges a trio of newcomers who arrive from the other side, thinking they must be Lionwhyte's men. Ophelia rebukes her, as they are working with her to liberate the Razor Girls from Lionwhyte's Pleasure Tower. Eddie further elaborates on their identity, revealing them as Roadies, though Lita is confused by the characteristics he points out, not understanding their significance.
Although Ironheade is able to make it through the Cleave, Lionwhyte has left a banner for them, depicting Lars as a balding potbelly. When Ophelia remarks that they should take it down before Lars sees it, since it would 'break his heart', Lita asks if that is because Ophelia wants to do that herself, again showing her distrust despite the help of Ophelia's Roadies.
Lita assists in the battle against Lionwhyte at the Pleasure Dome and following his defeat, expresses some reservation at Lars' conviction to bring down Emperor Doviciulus next. Shortly afterwards, Doviculus arrives to investigate the disruption at the Pleasure Dome and while Lita and her friends hide, he rambles about Succoria's 'mission' while looking around for them. As he speaks, it seems to Lita that Succoria is in fact, Ophelia, especially when Doviculus produces the blade Ophelia left behind while escaping from the Temple of Ormagöden.
Lars then jumps out of hiding to confront Doviculus, but the Emperor merely impales him with his glaive-like weapon after Lars reveals his position as leader of Ironheade. This spurs Lita and the others out of hiding immediately to try and help Lars, but he dies before they can do anything. Doviculus then departs, leaving the Pleasure Dome to be razed by a horde of Bleeding Death demons.
===Death's Clutch===
Lita boarded Ironheade's bus and managed to escape the tower's destruction, but she unboarded on the way to Death's Clutch to confront Ophelia, who had escaped with Eddie in the Deuce. Lita accuses Ophelia of betraying the army by revealing their location to Doviculus, on the grounds that Ophelia is a tear drinker like her parents and strikes out at her in anger, but her attempt to kill her is stopped by Eddie.
Eddie too became distrustful of Ophelia and left her behind as he headed for Death's Clutch with Lita. Regrouping with Ironheade, Eddie and Lita found the Kill Master trying to heal Lars' fatal wound, but ultimately failing. In mourning, Lita wept on her brother's body.
