* -- viola lisbon (eliza dushku)

viola lisbon ,

this is viola! she's a nineteen-year-old montréal native who hasn't exactly had the easiest life. her mother is karen lisbon, a housekeeper for the very famous and the very bitchy actress/singer desdemona proust – who is also, unbeknownst to viola, viola's half-sister. karen, on the other hand, knows that mona is her daughter, which is why she took the job as her housekeeper. viola and mona's lives could not be more different; in fact, karen put mona up for adoption because she knew that she couldn't give mona the life that she deserved; she wasn't ready for a kid. she kept viola, however, because she couldn't bear to give up another kid. so, viola pretty much grew up underprivileged and in a pretty crappy neighborhood, forced to learn life's lessons from her peers while her mother worked to keep the family off the streets. she's rough around the edges, a chain smoker, and a petty criminal. she hardly graduated high school, but she nonetheless did – however, she doesn't have a job.

she hates mona proust for treating her mother the way she does, and would probably hate her more if she knew mona was actually her half-sister. she's single.
