Lyssa grew up with many siblings in her family. They always would fight over the smallest things, and Lyssa would always lash out and get her way one way or another. When she started school, she was always getting into fights with other children and screaming at the teachers. It seemed impossible for her parents to find a way to calm her down. Reading became a past time of Lyssa's, and always helped her stay calm when she wanted to. While she was in high school, she had a few partners, but would always be dumped and labeled as "the crazy ex-girlfriend" due to her anger. Graduating high school, she joined Val and Pepper in the succubus group.
