Name: Heloise Lacroix
(also known as Thisbe McAdie during the day)

Gender: Female

Race: Human (cursed)

Age: Day: 80 years old; Night: 30 years old

Appearance:
Day: Heloise appears to be an old lady who stands at 5'6" and weighs 145 lbs. Her hair is gray and her eyes are green. She wears eclectic and old-fashioned clothing that is modest to reflect her apparent age.
Night: Heloise is 5'6" tall and has a curvy, yet athletic build, putting her at 135 lbs. Her hair is red and wavy and falls past her shoulders and she has green eyes. She likes to wear makeup, especially lipstick and nail polish. Her clothing seems to be a mix between a steampunk and contemporary style, often wearing jeans with other, more eclectic pieces.

Personality: She is very friendly and enjoys the company of others. She also likes to keep busy and has a feisty stubborn streak that shows up every so often. She has grown very used to being able to do things for herself. She is also very charitable and tries her best to make a difference with whatever time she may have left.

Personality Flaws: She has a bit of a temper and feels the need to constantly keep busy.

Dreams and Aspirations: She hopes to someday fall in love with someone who loves her back despite the curse, but has very little hope of that ever happening. So, she just wants to do as much good as she possibly can do with whatever time she has left as she doesn't know if she could die of old age during the day.

Hobbies and Interests: Cooking, dancing, drinking... otherwise she keeps too busy with her two jobs to really have anything in the way of hobbies.

Heloise's past is unknown, she just showed up in Kaymakli City one day a few years ago. No one knows where she came from, and most don't even know her name, because she is a mute and doesn't bother with writing things out most of the time. She isn't deaf, however. What is known is that she frequents a particular bar in the evening and is a paranormal investigator or ghost buster of some sort. She also only appears after sunset for some reason.

As Thisbe, however, she is known to have shown up in the city at roughly the same time. She runs a shop where she sells various potions. Sometimes the local hooligans harass her and call her a witch, and while that pisses her off, she stubbornly stays.

She took in Broadside as a roommate in her small apartment after working with him on the zombie problem and finding out that he was homeless. The two have since become friends and he has learned some of her secrets, yet he still sticks around.

When the city was nuked, she was at her day job which was too close to the blast site, so she ended up with some weird temporary affects from the potions she was splashed with as well as a mild case of radiation sickness. Broadside checked her into the hospital and stayed with her for the entire time she was confined there, which ended up being almost two months. In the meantime, they planned on a vacation to get them out of the city to relax, with the intention on coming back to investigate the new spooks once they've recouped.

(Note: Heloise regularly uses some potions that are not on this list as they aren't for sale in her store because they are specifically for the use of her nighttime job and she doesn't want to sell them to anyone inexperienced in her field. Mostly, they are just for repairing rips in the fabric of time and space or for dispersing unwelcome spirits.)
