- Appearance:
Lou is an older lady in her mid to late 60's, with a slender yet wiry frame that speaks of her former agility and training as an intelligence agent.

The years of being a covert operative and her self-imposed isolation have contributed to a hardened expression, rarely showing warmth or empathy. Lou's body language is guarded, her posture always alert and ready to defend herself. The scars of her past are visible, both physically and emotionally, adding to the aura of a woman who has long lost her faith in others.
SOCIAL INFORMATION

These aliases served to protect her true identity and facilitate her infiltration into criminal organizations and enemy territories. Each alias was carefully chosen to suit the mission at hand, providing her with the necessary cover and backstory to operate unnoticed. A few examples of aliases she may have used:
Ariadne Vale: This alias was used when Lou needed to infiltrate a smuggling ring on Nar Shaddaa. "Ariadne" symbolizes her ability to navigate complex webs of deception, while "Vale" hints at the secrecy and shadowy nature of her true intentions.
Isabella Thorn: When tasked with gathering information from a corrupt politician on Coruscant, Lou assumed the identity of Isabella Thorn. "Isabella" represents her skill in beguiling others, while "Thorn" signifies the hidden danger beneath her seemingly innocent facade.
Evelyn Blackthorn: In order to infiltrate a secretive cult on a remote planet, Lou posed as Evelyn Blackthorn. "Evelyn" portrays an air of elegance and sophistication, allowing her to gain access to influential circles, while "Blackthorn" implies the hidden thorns within her personality that make her a formidable adversary.
Selene Frost: During a mission to gather intelligence from a high-ranking crime lord, Lou went by the name Selene Frost. "Selene" evokes an aura of mystique and lunar allure, representing her enigmatic nature, while "Frost" symbolizes the cold, calculating persona she presents to the world.

- Loyalties & Wealth:
Lou remains loyal only to herself. Her jaded and cynical nature has left her with a deep-rooted mistrust of others, making it difficult for her to form lasting connections or alliances. She has long abandoned any sense of loyalty to organizations or causes, having experienced betrayal and disillusionment throughout her life. Living remotely and detached from society, Lou has distanced herself from material possessions and the trappings of wealth. She values her independence above all else and finds solace in a minimalist lifestyle. Her meager living arrangements consist of a small, sparsely furnished dwelling hidden away in a remote location, away from prying eyes. The simplicity of her surroundings reflects her detachment from materialistic desires and her focus on survival and personal freedom.

She views relationships as transactions, leveraging others' skills, resources, or knowledge to achieve her objectives without any genuine concern for their well-being.
Lou's lack of attachment to wealth or material possessions is a deliberate choice. She prefers to remain agile and adaptable, free from the burdens of wealth that can tie one down and make them vulnerable. Instead, she relies on her own wit, resourcefulness, and the skills she honed as an intelligence agent to navigate the galaxy and survive on her own terms. While her isolation and lack of loyalty may paint her as a dark and self-serving character, it is the product of a life filled with disappointments, betrayals, and personal sacrifices. Lou is a survivor who has learned the hard way that in a galaxy of uncertainty, the only person she can truly rely on is herself.
