Lamia

## Backstory

She had always been objectified. She had always had to deal with the sorry excuses of people that wished to put her down and ruin her spirit. From her childhood with a father that just wanted to marry her off for the dowry, and a mother that saw her as nothing more than a burden. Throughout her growth with corrupt adults that only saw her as an object to be polished, writing off her ideas of providing those with nothing a chance at a better life as just foolish dreams. To when she finally had a chance to be free of them and work towards what she wanted, but to be cast down by those she thought as friends.

She still tried to continue on, hurt and betrayed, but not willing to give up. She had built a sort of wall within her mind, to protect herself, though they could only do so much. Her work towards that bright place, a home for those that need it, company for any that want it, and love for those that stay, went on. A little shop of oddities and ends became her home during that time. Eventually she became friends with the group of workers at the store, having spent so much time together. She loved them dearly, and would stop at nothing to protect them if need be. She took the retort and harsh words of the nearby town, one full of hateful and ignorant men, wanting nothing more than to keep her friends from those troubles. One day, a group that had been increasingly growing violent towards them took it too far. She wasn't there to stop the ambush on one of the girls, and when she discovered her, feel into a blind rage full of sorrow. Though the girl had survived she had been scarred, no longer able to walk. Mikka searched long and hard, wanting revenge on the attackers more than anything, to never let them harm her or those she loved again. When she started to lose hope, doubt of actually of being to protect anyone from those cruel words and harsh punishments, something seemed to beckoned to her. A ornate mask had appeared, promising to provide protection if she would just grab hold...

"Let them try their luck against us!"

## Bio

Mikka hasn't lived in Lasoa long, but her current business, White Lamia, is succeeding well. She sells all sort of oddities, from crystals and old books to intricate clothing and abandoned 'talisman'.

She has a slight difference as well, given the second identity that seems to shine through when the mask is worn.

* Lamia is in of themselves, not the same person as Mikka. Though they hold the same body, they are two separate identities. Lamia, their previous name unknown, came about to protect Mikka when she was younger. A system. Though that is what they do, they are quite the opposite when it comes to what they both want to do. Lamia has no will or want to protect others that aren't themselves, though Mikka often convinces them to do so. Lamia is often in the back, only really allowed up when the mask is worn. Though they could rather care less about others, if given the time and effort, will try to do little things and protect them without the input from Mikka.
