"Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also - if you love them enough." - George Washington

Appearance
Lisa's hair has been through some abuse through the years. In her first and second year alone,
she managed to go through the entire rainbow with a few repeats. Radish Red, Sunset Orange, Goldenrod, Chartreuse, Cyan, Cerulean and Royal Purple. Her favourite shade by far, however, was a vibrant shade of cotton candy pink. Lisa's natural colour is a pleasant honeyed oak brown, but she despises the stereotype that brunettes have. While although she stands at 5'7 by her sixth year, she isn't the tallest girl around. In her third year she had a growth spurt that added to her insecurities, making her taller than a lot of the girls in her year, but nowhere near how amazonian some of the older girls are. Usually seen with some expensive and trendy handbag on her arm she struts through the corridors with a sense of confidence. Whether she knows you or not, you will be greeted with a amiable grin, which reveals a row of white teeth.
Growing Pains
Throughout Lisa's years in Hogwarts she's come to realise one thing, or so she thinks. Beauty will get you farther in life. It can get you a loving husband, it can get you money. It can even go as far as to get you true happiness, if you are pretty. She's begun to try at that. In the summer of her fourth year her father came into a large sum of money, most of which he shared with his family, being a generally selfless man.
With the new-found wealth and status, Lisa began a transformation. She cut her hair shorter and dyed it back to a dark and refined shade. Buying clothes that more accentuated what she had. Along with purchasing things from high end designers. Alice Roi, Betsey Johnson, Diane von Furstenberg, Gucci, Armani, Prada. All common within her wardrobe, now. A very must in every outfit is an eccentric accessory. She's been seen sporting cheetah print stilettos one day to a bronze clockwork barrette. And while at first she had been known to complain often about the lack of comfort in the accessory, not a peep about has been heard since. All clumsiness having been left to the winds, Lisa's grace has increased while walking in these enormous heeled shoes. Sometimes she even insists on being Elicia, not Lisa.
Pursuits of the Heart
In her first year, Lisa was most struck by, not how amazing the castle is, but by how many good looking students there were. She pursued one in particular from day one. Rufus James Laroux. She attached herself so much to the Gryffindor student that many assumed the two to be dating. However, things were taken much too fast for Rufus and far too slow for Lisa. While she wholeheartedly believes that he did care for her in the same way, things with his personal life didn't work out and he left her on New Year's. She received a letter days later, letting her know that he left the school for personal reasons.
The time passed by and her heart healed. The next that she was presumed to be dating was Reece Samuel Fallow. This boy quickly became her best friend. The two could be often be seen in such close counsel that many assumed they had become an 'item'. But those who judged were quickly reassured that nothing was happening between them. Next in line was a shy Ravenclaw who went by the name of Ryan Michael Bishop. Lisa and Ryan became inseparable immediately. They were often referred as one name. Lisa-and-Ryan. They dated seriously for several months until early in the summer when an incident tore a rift between them. The rift was irreparable and not long after, Ryan left Hogwarts without a word. His workplace, Ollivander's Wand Shop, didn't have a clue what happened to him.
Nearing a month after Ryan and Lisa's hasty split, Lisa found herself Seril Alan Kane. But as most rebound relationships go, things weren't as peachy as they appeared. Seril was often called into the Ministry for work, leaving Lisa to wonder when he would be back. And when he was back, how long it would be until he was called back in. This pushed her to urge him to get into a more serious and committed relationship, something he wasn't comfortable with. After five short weeks, the two split up but assure others that they're still friendly.
After six months, Lisa finds herself comfortably in the arms of Sean Gregory Smith. Oddly enough, this time, she seems to be taking it slowly. If not for the occasional hug or candid kiss, the pair would simply seem to be just good friends. However, to anyone who ask Lisa replies with a blush and a quickly fired line. "He's the next best thing since the wand." If anything's clear, the two appear to be quite happy.
