She is strong willed and incredibly arrogant, to the point of narcissistic tendencies. To her, she is always right and the sooner everyone else  gets that, the happier everyone else will be.  She's honest, to the point of brutality at times. Perhaps her main redeeming quality is her loyalty and the lengths she will go for allies, but especially friends and those few who have made it to family.  She loves them and her order.  She will serve both to her dying breath, not matter the collateral damage it may cause.

== Background ==
Lisa is a force to be reckoned with. Her strength lies not only in her unwavering determination but also in her unyielding arrogance, bordering on narcissism. With an unshakable belief in her own infallibility, Lisa expects everyone to fall in line with her perspectives, convinced that embracing her truth will lead to collective happiness. Honesty courses through her veins, sometimes to a fault, but she is not limited by it. When the situation demands, Lisa can tap into her cunning and deceitful nature, although it goes against her inherent disposition. However, her main redeeming quality lies in her unwavering loyalty and the depths she will plumb for her allies, especially friends and those few who have become her family. Bound by a fierce love for her chosen ones and an unyielding dedication to her order, Lisa will serve them to her dying breath, even if it comes at the cost of collateral damage.
Lisa was orphaned at a very young age, both her parents dyeing from a plague that swept through the keep in a particularly bad winter. In fact, in Glinan's Hold at least half of the adults died that winter.  There was not only a food shortage but also a plague that swept through hold during the coldest of the winter months.  The knights were the first to give their food to the women and children, often striking out of the keep to hunt in an attempt to bring back enough food for everyone along with other things like fire wood.  Many died as the winter grew worse and worse at the high elevations of the hold.
 
Left without parents, Lisa grew up being a ward of the keep like so many other children.  A few years after that horrible winter, the Knight of the [[Souls Templar]] stopped into the hold to rest there. Seeing so many orphaned children, the Knights struck an agreement to take in as apprentices the orphans.  Though it was not customary, one of the Knights in particular grew fond of the young Lisa who seemed to have an affinity for his horse.  Knowing that his horse was prone to disliking others and he often had to care for the animal himself rather than let grooms do so, he took her in as his stable girl.  The young girl had a lust for knowledge and would soak up whatever the Knight would say to her - he was a Knight through and through without any knowledge of how to raise a young girl.  Deciding that he instead would raise her the only way he knew how - to be an aspiring knight of the order.
 
When she was just beginning to really grow up, he taught her the sword and shield, she took to both quickly learning them faster than any of other apprentice he had ever seen. She had a fever for the high ground and for being on the right side of things, though this worried her Knight he could do little to discourage her attitude. It did not help that her skill with the sword was only paralleled by her skill with magic, quickly earning her a reputation as a person one should not cross.  In her early career as an aspiring Knight she was known to have a deep fire of a temper that burned slow and long when lit.  She was only granted her knighthood once she was able to control her temper and find different ways to work through her rage than just lashing out and attacking those who angered her.
 
In the following years she quickly rose through the ranks, mostly through trials of combat where she would challenge someone of a higher position and win their spot through defeating them.  Most of these were not battles to the death, only a singular one was, and that was to take over as the head of the order as Grand Mistress, taking over for the former Grand Master of the order.  During her years as the head of the order, she has surrounded herself by people who temper her strong arrogance to be diplomatic where she cannot. As a force to lead she is unparalleled, her one weakness is her need to be right.

Lisa does not ride a standard horse, though she can.  Instead she summons from the Aether the form of a spectral steed, this advanced magic took years of practice to master and is a variation upon other summoning spells.  She owes her ability to summon the steed due to her strong affinity with horses, the steed she summons has become hers and carries its own personality rather than just being a generic summoned mount.
Lisa possesses a unique and awe-inspiring ability to summon a spectral steed from the depths of the elemental plan of fire, a feat of advanced magic that took her years of dedicated practice to master. Unlike a conventional horse, this ethereal mount is a manifestation of her deep connection and affinity with horses, granting it a distinct personality and identity beyond that of a mere summoned creature.


The mount has a strong affinity with fire and is partially the form of a fire elemental.
The spectral steed that Lisa summons is a remarkable entity, bearing the flickering essence of fire within its form. It embodies traits reminiscent of a fire elemental, radiating an aura of warmth and intensity. Flames dance along its hooves and mane, lending an ethereal glow to its spectral presence. The horse and its fiery nature perfectly complement Lisa's own passionate spirit, forging a powerful bond between rider and steed.
