Distinct Features:
Personality/Background: Named after both her grandmothers, Lisa grew up in a rather large family setting in the town of Piriwal on the east coast of Mythos Island. Alongside her parents and her three siblings, she also shared her house with her father's sister and her three children, her father's mother, and her father's sickly brother and his two children. Sadly, her uncle died of cancer when she was five and so she didn't remember much of him. Her grandmother, Darana, lived a long and painful life, only accepting the call of her ancestors two months after Lisa's tenth birthday. But she made sure to tell all of her grandchildren, Lisa especially, of their Aboriginal ancestry and the stories that she and the rest of her mob grew up learning from.
It was through these stories that Lisa discovered that her family was protected by a small, spined, four-legged creature that the family called 'Yalmin'. But it wasn't until she started high school and had to move into Argetgarm City with the rest of her family due to job opportunities that Lisa discovered that Yalmin lived inside of her. Or rather, Lisa transformed into a Minmi dinosaur for the first time. When her parents and her aunt saw her in her animal morph, they instantly remembered the stories of Yalmin and started believing that their daughter/niece was a destined protector... though what of, Lisa had no clue. It was with the help of the high school that she was introduced to a Mr Kavic van Wuruhi, a Psychologist and Counsellor who specialised in helping morphers with their troubles or even just navigating their new world. Mr van Wuruhi was able to tell Lisa that she could morph into what is scientifically known as a Minmi and help her in trying to understand why she could suddenly morph when none of her known ancestors had been able to before her. Here it was explained that the morphing gene could lay dormant for generations, but could activate once more due to times of high stress or other such incidents. He also believed that the stress of moving and then starting in a new school (and high school at that) may have been the cause for the transformation despite Lisa seeming to accept how her life had changed. As for the whole protector thing that her family was believing her to be, Mr van Wuruhi explained to Lisa that maybe she would end up being the protector of her younger siblings and younger cousins whist they learnt to cope in the big city and in a new school. Lisa took that advice to heart and made sure that, though not over-protective, she was always there for her younger family members to go to during the rougher times they ended up having as they grew up.
As for joining the Rebels Ancient, Lisa only discovered that they even existed after stumbling across them and the rest of the Rebels gangs while they were playing around with each other on the land behind the Forza Veterinary Clinic. She and her siblings and cousins had been taking a walk with their two dogs when their border collie mix, Stryker, managed to get away from them. Then their eighteen month old Australian Cattle Dog, Amber, got away as she attempted to get the younger pup back to the family. The two dogs ended up leading the family into the mass of morphers and, while half the Rebels attempted to get the two runaways back to their family, the other half watched in amusement in all the antics that were happening. In the end, Lynk Haythen, one of the main Rebels members, transformed into his animal form and practically commanded the two runaways back to their family. At the same time, Lisa had morphed into her minmi form, knowing that the dogs loved to play with her while she was transformed.
Lisa's transformation, witnessed by all, caught the attention of Krillin Fang, leader of the Rebels Ancient at the time. He, alongside the other Rebels leaders made a quick decision to at least talk to her and her family in a more private setting. When he voiced his proposition (and after a few minutes of thought for herself), Lisa agreed to meet with the leaders as long as her eldest cousin was with her at their first official meeting before talking to her parents. By the end of the next month, Lisa had become an official member of the Rebels Ancients, where she continued to protect those younger than her... although that number seemed to have grown considerably due to her acceptance into the gang.
During all this, Lisa was going out with a young lad by the name of Cooper Bergenson. Cooper was a nice boy, and Lisa honestly thought that she would spend move time with him than the six months the two of them had together. But as soon as Cooper's family found out that Lisa had joined the Rebels, they didn't want him to have anything to do with her. This broke Lisa's heart and it wasn't until she had started university, years later, that she was able to open her heart once more to love. In fact it was Lisa who approached fellow writing major student, Luke Stone in a friendship and possible relationship. To her surprise, Luke accepted and before long, the two were in a happy relationship with Luke often spending time on the outskirts of any Rebels gatherings (much to their chagrin) just observing and creating characters for the stories that he wrote... Lisa sometimes taking his ideas and incorporating them into her own works.
It wasn't until Lisa was thirty years old that she and Luke finally got married. The reason for this was because the two previous times they had planned, something had happened to stop the wedding. The first time, Luke's grandfather had died the weekend prior to the wedding and the funeral happened to be the day after. During the time of mourning, Lisa wanted all attention to be on healing after the loss rather than celebrating, to which Luke was extremely thankful for. The second time, Lisa fell into labour with their first son, Lief, the night before the wedding. Luke had to call everyone from the hospital the next morning to postpone the wedding for a second time while Lisa was giving birth to their son just beyond the closed door. Even then, the day that they finally got married (two years after Lief's birth), Lisa was pregnant with their second child, a girl they named Charlotte. Their third child, a little boy they named Erryk, was what they called their special baby. This was because Lisa fell pregnant late in life and, after finding out that she was pregnant again at the age of forty, was afraid that Erryk would be born with health issues (not that she was against looking after him if he did end up having a disability). But her fears were never realised and all three of her children grew up to be happy and healthy, with Lief even gaining the Minmi morph at the age of ten.
