Description
Color refined rendition of Stacy Lovejoy from "Blackbird Bluegrass"UPDATED PROFILE:
Stacy Lovejoy is a former stage magician and Ricochet Kneivel's bounty hunting field partner. Orphaned when she was 8 years old (her magician parents died in a mysterious explosion), she was raised at a local military academy who later served in Afghanistan when she turned 21. After two short years of service, she quitted the military to pursue a career in show business as a stage magician in the Las Vegas strip. It was there when two events happened that change her life forever: desperate for paying her apartment's mortgage, she borrowed money from her manager, who secretly happened to be a loan shark for the Mafia. Second, she discovered she has hidden powers inherited from her parents in a stage accident, she after consulting with a witch doctor at the nearby Indian reservation, later learned to master and control her powers. After finding out that her manager was gunned down by an overzealous Mafia clan, she was blamed for murdering him and was forced to pay the family their dues. After years on the run, she returned to Las Vegas to strike a deal with a rival crime family in order to pay her pursuers. After a botched assignment gone bad, she bumped to a disgruntled bounty hunter, ex-Navy SEAL Ricochet Knievel, which led to a series of chain events that persuaded Stacy to join his motley crew of bounty hunters.
Stacy is selfish, anti-social and a bit greedy. Yet her over-inflated ego is matched by her renewed sense of justice and honor, though still driven by money. She randomly gets into arguments with Ricochet, especially during capturing bounty heads. Despite not seeing eye-to-eye with Ricochet, she somehow looks to him as somewhat of a foster brother figure and turns to him in times of emotional stress and pain. She also has a knack for being a slouch, having poor hygiene and constantly messing up her quarters with her spare clothes, frustrating Ace Johnson to clean up her messes. Her favorite hobbies includes gambling: especially playing poker, betting on horse races and roulette; picking fights with the local hooligans, and walking around public in sexually-themed dresses and lingerie. Her favorite foods are Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwiches and broccoli cheese soup.
Inheriting her genes with her sorcerer parents and as a result of years of training and discipline, especially during her time as a stage magician, Stacy is a master is chatting powerful spells and phrases, each with properties depending on situations, whether summoning powerful tornadoes, or healing a wounded comrade. She also possess levitation, disguise and teleportation abilities. She is a trained weapons expert and expert markswoman thanks to her early years in the military and is a black belt in Karate. She carries a Glock 19 pistol and a retractable baton hidden in her jacket's inside pocket. Her mission vehicle is a 2006 Ford Mustang coupe highly modified by Ace Johnson and is equipped with harpoon guns, an passengers-side dashboard laptop computer with wireless internet connection and smokescreen dispensers.
She has a long lost younger sister in criminal sorceress Melissa Ravencroft.

As usual, a pretty nice bio. Unusual to have magicians in a "spy-type" universe
But a little problem with anatomy : her right leg should probably start a little higher on her torso, and "end" higher as well
