Lisa

Born to a couple post-war, life was never easy for Lisa. Mornings consisted of beatings and verbal abuse from her mother, and hunting in place of her liquid-spined father. It was dull work, boring and wasteful.
As she grew older, her father began to teach her how to make weapons. Mostly, it was just pipe guns and the occasional handmade rifle to sell to the few who came by their secluded cabin.
As she tells her few customers who care enough to ask what happened to them, the 'shadow man' taught her how to make people scream, using her parents as examples.
Personality
Compared to other raiders, she is far more disciplined than most of them. No lust for mayhem or random partying, no addiction to drugs, no charging into battle with little more than a tire iron. No, she fights as though she's hunting an animal and doesn't want to waste her bullets - short bursts of fire, changing weapons based upon the range and so on.
Of course, this discipline goes out the window when she finds someone who she wants to torment. She will happily incapacitate them, cover their bodies with scars over a period of several days, break their will and only kill them once she's gotten the maximum enjoyment out of their screams.
She does have her vices, of course - she enjoys some alcohol every now and then, and calmex is very useful for repressing the urge to kill a fellow raider. She also is happy to have sex for fun, and isn't opposed to letting loose every once in a while.
Her strengths include weapon maintenance, creation and modification (raider style weapons for creation, ballistic weapons for maintenance), focus, logic and survival.
However, she can be very subject to her desires and emotions at times, cannot work on energy weapons or armor to save her life and is terrible at cooking. She also almost never empathizes with others due to her past trauma.
