BRIEF BACKSTORY
A war veteran of the Gedoe Liberation war (though she doesn't have any notable deeds from then),She was one of the original members of the Peacemakers sometime after the war,however,the West Side became too crime-infested for the Peacemakers to control.To survive,her friends sold her to the then-new Prostitution Ring in exchange for safety.She lived the next 3 years as a slave,often trying to break out but constantly failing,until she finally obtained an ability of her own.She then massacred everyone who ever slept with her and destroyed the first Ring.During her personal crusade against both the Peace branches across West Side and the prostitution rings,she met Manticore and she quickly found a kindred spirit in him.
PERSONALITY
Lust's biggest trait is how sociable and talkative she is (in contrast to the other Therion members,except Zine).She is extremely talkative during fights against interesting foes,which drags out her fights a lot (a habit Manticore,Grey and HYDE all chide her for);She commonly ends up telling her enemies her entire life story in the space of a fight.
She is fairly simple-minded,making her very cheerful,to the point of being insensitive at times (i.e her reaction when he teammates are defeated/killed)
Despite her apparent friendliness and willingness to talk,she is just as much of a barbarian as her teammates;she always has a smile on her face when she fights to kill.She has a strange tendency to refer to her ability as a sentient person and even called it "Scylla"
She also bears an intense grudge on the Peacemakers for what she feels is hypocrisy on their part.
BATTLE STATS
She was a late bloomer who obtained her ability late in life.She trained her body really hard to make up for it prior to obtaining her power
She has the ability to grow a sharp bone spike anywhere on her body and up to 5 meters around her.She can change it's size and length to an extent. It's retraction speed is extremely fast,but she can only grow one spike at a time or so she claims,to catch her opponents off-guard.
While her ability is often called weak and underwhelming (she agrees),it forced her to keep training to make up for it and never rely too much on her ability,allowing her to hold her own with or without Scylla.
She is also physically fit and highly tolerant to pain.
Signature techniques: Scylla:Orgy Death

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS
+ She refers to Manticore as a kindred sprit;Despite their frequent bickering (mostly over her habit of dragging out fights), they are very close,platonic partners.Lust is casual about it,but she's extremely loyal to Manticore and has been following his dream from the moment they met. She's notably the first member of Therion.
-Lust hated Ashtray Monstro and was more relieved than dismayed of his his fate in the hands of Metalixca.She claimed Ashtray often threatened and insulted her because he was jealous of her position in Therion,despite her being a woman
=Lust forcefully recruited Zine Caymen into Therion due to his ability to make allies via contacts.She isn't particularly attached to him,but does toy with him rather often for his "weakness" . She finds him "cute",but doesn't have a big reaction when learning of his demise
+She heard many things about HYDE,which made her eager to meet the man (she influenced Manticore's decision to attack East Side for that reason); She shows rather superficial attraction to him and constantly flirted with him mid-fight (which both flattered and annoyed him).She came off as especially talkative during their fight.She expressed disappointment when Manticore takes over the fight with HYDE due to her taking so long.
-From the moment they started fighting,Lust started loathing Morphin,for the latter's no-nonsense and pragmatic attitude,which contrasts with her own. Interestingly, Lust never bothered to start a conversation with Morphin and tries to kill her straight off the bat. Lust is particularly offended by Morphin's vulgar language and rude deameanor. From her looks and mannerisms alone,Lust accurately deduced Morphin's origins....
