To begin telling the story of Lisette one must start with her parents; an important part of her life as well as the beginning of her. The reason her parents need to be touched on has a lot to do with the woman’s character and how she came to be the way she is now. Lisette’s mother fell madly in love with her father, who was an American stationed at the Bordeaux-Merignac Air Base with the United States Air Force. He was brutish, aggressive, hot tempered, young and ambitious; whereas Lisette’s mother was from a prominent French family, with airs and graces, poise and political correctness… needless to say their whirlwind romance was far from sanctioned. After Lisette’s father left France and returned to the United States, he promised is beloved that he would return for her; less than a year later he had… they eloped and ran away to the US, ending the relationship Lisette’s mother had with her parents and siblings.
When Lisette was born, she was the second child, her mother and father going on to have a total of five children. Her family life was no different from any other American family, she was born and raised in Boston, Mass. and enjoyed a life filled with stories in French and tales of her father from the war, their parent’s unsanctioned elopement and the passion that still ignited their marriage many years later. She was raised to know of her heritage: learning French, eating French foods, studying both American and French history; even though she would likely never meet the other members of her mother’s family she learned who they were and remembered their birthdays, even if they had no desire to be a part of her life. To this day, Lisette only has contact with one member from her mother’s side of the family, her cousin Samuel.
Lisette knew from a young age she wanted to be a writer, she wanted to write articles for magazines or newspapers and travel the world bringing beauty. It had been her desire since she was old enough to read; so when she became old enough to understand that not all beauty lay in nature or architecture, Lisette became interested in fashion. There was so much to learn about the vibrancy, vitality, grace and beauty that was the fashion world. So, with that in mind, when Lisette was 18 years old and freshly graduated, she high tailed it for New York City after being accepted into NYU as a Journalism Major. After obtaining her BA in Journalism, Lisette decided to continue her area of study by applying for a low level/intern position at Vogue magazine (at age 22) and work her way up the ladder while subsequently earning her MA in Journalism with an emphasis on Magazine Journalism.
At age 24 Lisette graduated from NYU with her Masters and was given a promotion at Vogue to one of the many assistants to journalists. Slowly but surely Lisette has worked her way up the ranks and is now the first assistant to the Editor and Chief, with the hopes of applying for the next Fashion Journalist position that opens up. She’s spent five years with the company so far (3 of which with her MA) and is working diligently in hopes of gaining the position she desires within the next year.
Lisette has always been a passionate woman, the burden of her mother’s French blood and knack for loving all the wrong people; or perhaps the correct person and it being against the rules. Regardless, Lisette was raised to allow that passion to help her, let it drive her; in turn she became an ambitious woman with desires, aspirations, and the attitude to back it up. Lisette became bold, assertive, strong willed and tenacious to a fault; she has always had a way about her, an inner poise and sophistication that was only heightened by her ability to be persuasive when the time came and the need arose. She has always been a bit withdrawn from the party life, finding her ambitions to be far more important than cheep shots and lost nights. She’s maintained only a few long standing relationships and doesn’t really let many people close enough to her to cultivate serious friendships or romances. She can be cunning, clever, and perhaps even a little bit ruthless when she needs to be but never at the betrayal of her honesty or integrity, as she holds those above almost anything else. Lisette can be a bit hot tempered, a trait she garnered from her father, and offensive; when she becomes angry things like politeness and gentility tend to go out the window, which can lead to her being rather rude seeming and even a bit aloof. Beneath all the stone cold determination and almost blind ambition, there is a softer side to Lisette, though few actually see it; buried deep down, hidden beneath layers of “to-do’s” and “forgotten ideals” is a soft, sweet, compassionate, and caring woman. It just takes a great deal of hard work to see that, to get past the cut throat attitude, the sights set on success and the unrelenting, almost obsessive determination that is Lisette’s outer self.
