♥ P e r s o n a l i t y :
Hardworking
Patience
Blunt
Ambitious
Easily fascinated
Honest
Somewhat greedy

Due to her background she is used to work in an early age, she knows that if you want something, you will have to work hard for it. As much as Lynnette hates to admit, she is greedy when it comes to money. She knows that money holds a lot of value, and hates expending it away in a futile way. If she borrowed money, she will do her best to give it back as soon as possible, but she will be reluctant to lend money, even for close friends.

She's very patience, rarely arguing with other people. However it doesn't mean that she won't get angry, she just prefer not to show it in front of people. She usually release stress by burying her face on the pillow and screaming. If she's really angry she would spank the pillow.

Lynnette is always trying to act more mature than she really is. She wants to prove that she is capable and independent, however she still childish and insecure. She also has a part of her that likes to be in the spotlight and be spoiled. When she is with problems she insist in resolving things on her own, even if she evidently can't handle it alone. She feels humiliated and irritated if someone takes pity on her, hurting the little pride she has.

She’s the type that likes to be around people, due to the fact that she grown up in a big and caring family. She usually tries to get along with everyone, but sometimes her honest personality tends to annoy people. She isn't the type who will tell sugar coated lies or tell what people wants to hear just to make people like her.

♥ H i s t o r y :
Humble origins
Lynnette was born in a poor family, she has four siblings being the second older. Her father was a humble woodworker and her mother sold some flowers on the street. On the age of five she was already helping her mother to sell flowers, and the more she grew up more duties she had to do. But she wasn't unhappy, as poor as they were they had a home, they would sing and make merry, stealing the moments they could to enjoy the little they had.

Childhood
In her childhood she was a lot more daring, impatience and lazy. She didn't understand why she has to work while the other children were playing, or why she couldn’t have the things she wanted. She would often complain about her duties, saying that live was too unfair for her. One day when she skipped work, Lynnette was walking past a bakery, the smell of fresh bread was delicious, so tempting. She wasn't that hungry, but the baker was busy, not even looking at her direction, the temptation of stealing a bread was huge. Carefully and slowly she approached the balcony, hesitant she took one bread, no one seemed to have noticed. Grinning to herself she took her leave. It was so easy, so much fun, why would her parents work so hard if they could just steal things? Very proud of herself she returned home, her father was angry at her for skipping work, but soon he saw the bread at her daughters hand and asked where she took it. Lynette told about her little adventure stealing the bread, and bragging of how easy that was. Her father was furious, before she could react she felt her father heavy hand hitting her cheek, the impact was so strong that she felt on the floor. “We are not thief's!”. Not saying another word her father took her by hand, led her back to the bakery and made her give the bread back. Of course the baker was not happy, he yelled at her and on her father. Her father never said a word, just stood there listening to the baker never ending rage. On their way home, Lynnette couldn't stop the sobbing, she felt humiliated, sad and angry. Then her father said “You’re better than this”. After that she stared to change, working harder and stopped complaining about the things she could not have.

New skill
Selling flowers on the street was hard, no one would pay attention to a kid trying to sell something they didn't need. Feeling more frustrated day by day, Lynnette thought that if she could call the attention of the passer-by she could sell better. But she didn't sing very well, or knew how to dance gracefully, she needed something different. One day walking around the town she saw some funny looking artist doing some tricks on the street. However people seemed to love it, even she couldn’t look away from them. When the show was over, she asked shyly if she could try to it too, the artist gladly showed her how to keep the diabolo spinning. He would be in the town for some days, and he could teach her some easy tricks if she wanted. After he left the city, she asked for her father to do a diabolo for her, and started training by herself. Soon Lynnette learned the joy of entertaining people, after that she trained dutifully every day.

Leaving home
Lynnette always thought that her father was too stubborn to get sick, but when she was 16 he had proven her wrong. No one was expecting that he would fall sick so suddenly, no more than they were expecting him to die because of it. That was a great loss to her family, no one seemed to accept the fact that he was not there anymore. Lynnette decided to leave home, otherwise she would just be another mouth to feed. Although it pains her to leave her family she also had a great desire to travel around the world. She had her skills with her, so she was confident that she would find a job in a show somewhere. She bid farewell to her family, promising to send money to help. And then her journey started.

♥ M I S C/O t h e r I n f o r m a t i o n:
- Lynnette is fond of animals, except dogs. She doesn't hate them, she's just terrified of them. When she was a little child she was chased by a Great Dane half of the day. Now every time she sees one she wants to keep distance, fiercely believing that dogs hate her. If she must come too near one she starts shaking lightly.
- She doesn't like to shake hands, not because she doesn't like touching people, she is very embarrassed to show her hands. Due to her training her hands are full of callus.
- She has a disastrous bed hair every morning, it get worse if the humidity is high.
- Has a habit of speaking “Ya” or “Yer” instead of “You”.
