Lottie

Important Background

 * Age: On-record as 24, actually 27.


 * Immigration to Babylon: 1897
 * Joined Order: 1897
 * Job: Cabaret performer. Order informant.
 * Born: Cleveland, Ohio.
 * Says she was born: Marseille. Brooklyn. London. Casablanca. Depends when you ask.
 * Got her start on the stage under an assumed name in Chicago; actually garnered real success in Paris.
 * Married a wealthy British industrialist and arts patron in 1895; immigrated with him to Babylon; divorced in 1897, shortly before joining the Order.
 * Holds high-profile salons--which at the end of the day function as much as wild parties as anything else--in the club she performs in, on a monthly basis.

Appearance

 * Fashion forward, even clothes obsessed; daring in many ways.
 * Tall; dancer's build.
 * Dark brown skin.
 * Favors long, dramatic, expensive coats.

Personality

 * Deceptive. Somewhere between a great liar and a compulsive liar, and seldom finds scruples about any sort of fraud, deception, or manipulation.
 * Absolutely a social person by nature; the life of the party.
 * Very smooth, conscious of the roles she's supposed to be playing at any given point.
 * Full of energy; always on the go, running here and there. Frequently late for things. Has to run to catch the elevator or the street car a lot.
 * Acts on impulse; a frivolous shopper and spender; spontaneous.
 * Ambitious. Courageous. Seldom afraid, likes to take risks.

Asset
Lottie is well-connected, and she drops any particularly juicy bits of information that she comes across into the Order's ear; she keeps a thumb to the pulse of - if not the whole city, at least a decent cross-section of it. Connections to the wealthy and powerful let her occasionally send favors in the right direction. Being a good liar - and good at being unobtrusive when she needs to be - also help her get her hands on secrets and information of any particular interest.
