Lady Soot

One of the Master Detectives dispatched to Kanai Ward. Her Forte is Carnivorous Autopsy. She is known for her upbeat disposition and her natural sweetness. She’s just as quick witted as she is quick on her feet, which is rather fast.

Appearance

Lady is a woman of average height and her build is a bit slender. Her skin is a warm ivory color and her eyes are bright pink, with her irises designed to look like a peppermint swirl. She has three long lashes on each eye, possibly eyelash extensions. The rest of her eyelashes are long, but are shorter than the extensions she wears. Her hair is caramel brown and medium length, stopping at her shoulder blades. It is styled in a half up, half down style as she wears a ponytail in the back, which is held in place with a pink bow.

Lady’s attire consists of a pink corset minidress, the skirt and bodice of which are decorated with a white lace design. The bodice of Lady’s dress is decorated with a white lace trim and has a small red bow in the middle, and the corset of her dress is a lighter tint of pink, and is tied in the back with a red ribbon. Underneath the skirt of Lady’s dress is a short, white petticoat with a white lace trim, and her dress is held up by pink spaghetti straps. Over her dress, Lady sports a white capelet sweater with an off-shoulder neckline, and is held in place with a white and pinkish-red button which looks like a peppermint. On the left side of her sweater’s neckline is a badge for the World Detective Organization. The cuffs of her sweater are rather long, as they cover part of her hands. Lady wears sheer white stockings and she sports red mary jane shoes, which have gold heart buckles as fasteners and little bows in the back. The soles of her shoes have two slits in them in order to retract the built in roller skates they have.

Personality

Lady is a very lively and energetic person, and has been shown on several occasions to be unable to sit still. She is often shown to talk very fast as well, thus adding onto her energetic and hyperactive nature. Due to how naturally quick she is, she is seen as a bit crazy by her peers. To kill time, she bakes all sorts of baked goods to share with all the detectives in the Nocturnal Detective Agency. Along with this, she herself has a rather strong addiction to sugar, often being depicted with candies and cookies as snacks, often consuming sugar to wash over the taste of anything bitter.

Despite Lady’s friendly and happy nature, she is adamant on not receiving help, especially during investigations. She states that it’s nothing personal, and it’s simply a preference to her. When Yuma tries to see how her Forte works, Lady eventually caves in, and she shows the horrible side effects of using Carnivorous Autopsy. Knowing how bad the side effects are, she actively tries to make sure no one else can see her in such a vulnerable state.

Forensic Forte

Carnivorous Autopsy — One drop is all that is needed to consume, being able to tell the cause of death, mode of death, manner of death, and state of health through the taste of blood.

Lady’s Forte can gather information to the cause of death for a victim by consuming the victim’s blood. However, she uses her Forte as a last resort due to its side effects. When she uses Carnivorous Autopsy, she faces hallucinations, which are but not limited to: watching the victim’s carcass moving, auditory hallucinations, feeling the physical pain the victim went through. These hallucinations always cause Lady to have a panic attack after using her Forte.

History

When Lady was a kid, she was homeless and alone, resorting to eating fresh roadkill she found or digging through trash in order to survive. After a certain amount of years doing so, she was found by an old lady who owned a café and was taken in. As a way of showing gratitude for being taken off the streets, Lady insisted she work for the old lady at the café, learning how to bake and clean in the process.

During her time at the café, Lady found a pair of roller skates and came up with the idea of providing a delivery service for the café. It was during one of these deliveries that the café had burnt down five minutes after she left, and she also managed to gain semblance of her Forte while investigating what happened after the fire.
