long black hair that's waist-length, dusty pink eyes that many compare to roses and thorns, lisse stands tall even with her shorter stature. the prettiest done nails and cherry earrings on her ears. a hyperfemme's dream with heels as sharp as those sweet eyes that either allure or abhor. she has a fair skin tone with a few beauty spots on her face and a lithe figure. always found in pink or black. from dresses and skirts to hanfu and qipao, she takes pride in her fashion.
often referred to as 'the sweetest poison', lisse is all about charming smiles and sparkling eyes. manicured nails that won't hesitate to claw and scratch the same way she did when she crawled her way to the top. frightfully blunt despite honeyed words and gifted with a keen intellect. lisse carries herself with pride and floral grace. dutiful and resilient. honourable yet vengeful. she's quiet, observant, but knows when to flash her prettiest smile, flirt and wrap someone around her little finger. manipulation tasted so sweet.
known especially for how she clawed her way to the top. special grades are born, not made— she seemed to be the exception. despite her technique viewed as useless, she cultivated it and grew as the sorcerer that she is today; "the second", only to gojo satoru. she chooses to use her newfound position and rank to carve a better place for not only those weaker in jujutsu society, but for women in a society where sexism is tradition.
despite her grace, lisse is known for her pride. a pride that she won't let down easily. she's known to not lower her head, let alone take disrespect. like the lily of the valley, she is beautiful but unattainable. she's not above sadism nor demonstrating her strength. a streak of cruelty is to be expected from a liang.
the youngest heir of china's liang clan, considered another jujutsu society-leading clan and yet, lianli had fallen behind. born without their signature cursed technique and raised with the pressure of being 'the weakest', she pushed herself to grow stronger: to no avail. belittled and pushed around, she quickly learnt the bitter taste of her father's hatred and humiliation. the runt was a name she knew well. liang children are neglected if they are not to standard, and lianli was no exception; her punishments were many and harsh. her only solace was her older brother, shuilin, who treated her tenderly and tried his hardest to help her grow. she admired him as the strongest in her clan, yet feared that she would never grow to make him proud.
when shuilin had convinced their father to let him study abroad at jujutsu tech in japan, she was soon to follow. it was here that she made her first friends in ieiri shoko, geto suguru and gojo satoru. the four became inseparable, but lianli felt ever as insecure surrounded by her strong classmates. she pushed herself further, no matter how many times she fell.
lianli especially grew attached to suguru, the man she would swear saved her. he was the one who gave her the nickname 'lisse', which she eventually adopted as her official name. he understood her insecurities and helped her grow; whereas she always felt small in satoru's overwhelming shadow or meek in shoko's intelligence, still, she would lay her life down for the three who taught her that she was worthy of love.
tragedy struck when lisse's brother, shuilin, gave his life for her on a mission. the liang clan ridiculed her for the loss of their star and she was disowned. this only spiralled her guilt further, to this day, the death of her brother is heavy on her head— if only she were stronger. suguru, once again, saved her by stopping her from leaving jujutsu tech, offering to help her in her endeavour to get stronger. choosing to stay, she pushed herself more than she ever had.
delving into her mother's family and studying the technique she inherited from her, lisse stopped running from the power that was said to be a stain on her name and committed her life to it. discovering that the ability was not only mislabelled { understood to be a weak manipulation over plants }, but far more enigmatic than she could have ever imagined. lisse got to work at writing the book on her own technique. with her brother's loss on her shoulders, and eventually guilt of the star plasma vessel incident as well as suguru's defection— she swore that she would take her happiness in the form of strength: what she had always wanted.
rising through the ranks and clawing her way to the top, lisse stunned the jujutsu world. and after a harrowing incident in which the full extent of her abilities were displayed in pure, raw power for all to see, she was officially recessed as a special grade.
once quiet and reserved, timid and an pushover— but the rose grew thorns. she now stands with the title of 'the second'. the weakest sorcerer was no more.
but strength comes at a cost. it won't cleanse her hands, nor wash away the scars. so perhaps, this newfound pride truly is all she has? what else can she do but prove that she is worthy to everyone else; even if she herself will never feel it?
she would rather walk in late for a meeting because she had a hair appointment. she has a love for self care and such time is very important to her. she takes pride in her appearance.
she's an artist, specialising in pencil drawings. when she finds the time through her endless missions as a special grade, she can often be found having her own personal spa day while doodling in her sketchbook.
she loves nature and plant life, her apartment is filled with different arrangements of pot plants and flowers.
while extremely caring and protective over her students, lisse is known to be more on the stricter side when it comes to teaching. often exasperated by satoru's chaos that contrasts hers when they both teach a lesson.
she has a doberman named cherry. he hates everyone except for shoko.
lisse shows signs and symptoms of ocd, however she has not officially been diagnosed.
she often tells satoru that he 'spoils' the higher-ups and has no problem with throwing them around if they do not respect her.
her frightful ability to manipulate life force is far more complicated than she is given credit for. lisse uses the life force of bio-matter around her, however, she creates a sort of 'loop', actively sustaining the source from which she draws while using the energy into the various subdivisions of her technique. this is incredibly exhausting but she manages it still.
