Lamia is an Ascendant, a construct who was forced through the Ascension Network’s filtering process via the Punishing Virus and was ultimately accepted by an Agent (special Ascendant with access to the Ascension Network). Ascendants carry the Punishing Virus within them, but unlike most who are overtaken and corrupted by it, they adapt to the virus. Rather than losing themselves, the virus strengthens them, amplifying their physical abilities and granting them unique powers. This delicate balance allows them to retain control and consciousness, transforming the virus from a destructive force into a source of power. The Punishing Virus kills any human it comes into contact with and corrupts machines or constructs, transforming them into mindless Corrupted. To escape the virus, the remaining humans fled to Babylonia, a space station where they seek refuge.

Lamia's body was upgraded when Luna, an Agent of the Ascension Network, used her powers to enhance Lamia’s original frame. Even when Lamia is not sharing Luna's vision in filtering and destroying humanity through Ascension Network process, Lamia still obeys Luna because she feels safer by being on strong side. This upgrade gave her the ability to switch between a humanoid construct form, which she uses on land, and a mermaid construct form, known as her "Dark Tide" form.

Luna's combat skills are limited, so she often resorts to commanding Corrupted creatures to fight for her, while turning herself invisible to escape or sneak attack, or running for her life. Ironically, while she excels at disguises and shapeshifting, her lies are usually obvious, and her perfect disguises make them unnecessary.

Lamia’s mother Laibiya, died during childbirth after being seriously injured in an experiment. Lamia was born in Atlantis, a place that once held her life's purpose, but which is now destroyed and forever lost to her. Her intense desire to survive at all costs is tied to her mother’s dying wish for Lamia to continue living. Throughout her life, she has never experienced warmth or affection from anyone. Lamia loves the ocean and collects rare items from the depths. Raised by unfeeling scientists in Atlantis, Lamia has painfully low self-esteem and is uncomfortable in her humanoid construct form. She stands knock-kneed, hunched over her spear, and stumbles while dodging attacks, preferring long-range combat to avoid danger.

When Lamia transforms into her mermaid "Dark Tide" form (only when she enters the water) Lamia becomes highly agile. Her attacks in this form are rapid, hard-hitting melee strikes. When she enters this form, her spear transforms into a high-tech trident, perfectly suited for her control over water and the weather, much like the mythological Poseidon. In this form her bare slender legs and feet also changes into high-tech mermaid tail, which helps her navigate in the water depths.

Lamia’s upgrades allow her to disguise herself and change her entire body into different shapes, such as that of a girl with disabled legs named Irene. Her body also possesses the ability to shapeshift into other people or create new appearances, which she uses to deceive others. Despite her skills, she prefers to remain hidden and out of sight whenever possible.

Lamia has never been in a relationship and remains a virgin. She is too innocent and fearful of intimacy, avoiding any thoughts related to it. She deeply fears closeness with others and would only engage in intimacy with someone she completely trusts.

She dislikes to be ignored. Even though she’s not good at making friends, she still wants companions. Due to her education and actual mental age, Lamia is not good at language expression or complex metaphors, but this doesn’t mean she can’t tell someone is satirizing her. When Atlantis’ medical director asked her if Lamia wanted to be made into a Construct, she agreed without much hesitation. In this way Lamia was transformered from human girl into a construct, but only years after she became an Ascendant once she met Luna. Having been wandering around the world for a long time, she has learned to protect her fragile heart with lies.

The M.I.N.D. system is a virtual space that serves as the consciousness for constructs in Punishing Gray Raven. It functions as their core cognitive framework, enabling them to retain human-like awareness, emotions, and decision-making abilities despite being androids. M.I.N.D. allows constructs to interact with the world, process information, and manage their combat capabilities. It also serves as a protective barrier, preventing them from being overtaken by the Punishing Virus, unless compromised.

Additional Details: Lamia, like other constructs, has an artificial frame. Despite her mostly human appearance, she lacks basic human needs: she does not feel hunger or thirst, cold or heat though she still requires sleep for her mental health. She cannot feel physical desire or sexual needs, as she lacks the sensors for such sensations, and she does not need to breathe. Yet still Lamia can form deep emotional and romantic connections.
