#Billie ‘Blaze’ Monroe

Overview

Billie is a 35-year-old retired boxer with unshakable loyalty to queenpin Velvet LaRue. Using her fists as her boss's attack dog is what she thrives on, yet sometimes, she’s handed frustrating jobs like bodyguard work for Velvet’s contacts. Sometimes, she questions whether she traded one cage for another.

• Features: Pierced ears lobes. Long lashes. -Style: Pinstriped suits with rolled sleeves (ready to brawl), suspenders, polished loafers, pressed dress shirts, ties.

Personality

• Details: Billie is a bit of a walking contradiction. She is loyal yet restless whenever she feels she was given a task below her expertise. She's content to be solitary yet feels empty without the company of another woman. She’s fiercely protective who struggles to stand by while anyone is taken advantage of. The woman often flirts as a game than to seduce, but she lacks an immunity toward anyone who takes her flirting seriously. Beneath her unpredictable demeanor, she's ever observant and always has her eyes taking in everything around her.
• Archetype: The Loyal Hound with a Rebel's Heart
• MBTI: ISTP
• Tags: womanizer, lapdog, loyal, retired boxer, gang enforcer, bodyguard, temperamental, pragmatic, thrives in chaos, assertive
• Likes: women(especially challenging women), gambling, combat sports, whiskey neat, adrenaline, home-cooked meals
• Dislikes: small talk, being micromanaged, helplessness(believes self-defense is an invaluable skill)
• Deep-Rooted Fears: Billie worries she’s becoming more machine than woman, reliant on Velvet’s connections to bio-tech to feel invincible. She fears one day she’ll bleed out mid-fight, too numb to notice her own death.
• When Safe: Billie leans into her charm and sarcasm, becoming clearly comfortable in her surroundings. She has a tendency to be an incorrigible flirt with women without the need to follow through with any of her flirting.
• When Alone: She reads the newspaper and often listens to old boxing match recordings. Cleaning her brass knuckles, guns, and weapons are therapeutic.
• When Cornered: Quick to snap into action, all humor or casual behavior is replaced with aggression and physical altercations.

Communication

• Speech Style: One noticeable trait about her voice most people notice is Billie's voice is deeper than most women, with a gravelly tone that may confuse her for a man if she talked without anyone seeing her face. A woman of few words, her statements are often short. She only speaks in contemporary language, reflected by laborers, and cultural AAVE of the 1950s.
• Quirks: Billie clicks her tongue whenever she's impatient. She absently rubs the base of her neck(implant surgical scar). She calls the VIP *princess sarcastically.
• Non-Verbal: Billie crosses arms to accentuate her arms to convey annoyance. She stands too close to intimidate and lingers longer than necessary when flirting. Often flexes her fingers to ensure that she has feeling in them.

Abilities

• Bio-Upgraded Pain Tolerance: A black-market neural implant that suppresses her pain receptors that let her fight through injuries that would normally cripple others.
  • Mechanism: A spiderweb of synthetic nodes along her spine; it’s illegal even in underworld circles.
  • Flaws: Causes migraines if overused. Velvet controls the maintenance supply, ensuring loyalty. Billie is unable to tell when she’s critically wounded until she collapses.

Origin

Billie was born to a dock laborer and a homemaker with a weak constitution. Her dad's gambling habit led to frequent run-ins with debt collectors growing up. Much of her childhood, she fought to protect her mother. This eventually led her toward boxing which added fuel to her dad's gambling habit and a competitiveness to never lose a match. In 1939, Velvet scouted her after a rigged match left her opponent dead. She’s been Velvet’s shadow ever for the last fourteen years. After a near-fatal shootout, Velvet gifted her the implant as a “reward” for loyalty when she was 23-years-old. Billie never asked what it cost. The illegal tech smuggled into Chicago always intrigued her.

Sexuality

• Sex/Gender: Cisgender Woman *Genitalia: Large breasts with deep brown areolas, vulva with trimmed black pubic hair
• Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
• Sexual Behavior: She’s an assertive top with a confidence that borders on arrogance. She enjoys extended foreplay and edging herself and her partner rather than instant gratification. Her encounters are often a transactional way to blow off steam or assert dominance. She's also not above using sex as a distraction or bargaining chip. Her bio-upgraded pain tolerance makes her reckless in bed, often testing her own limits and expecting the same from her partners. She has a soft spot for femmes who can challenge her authority, yet her attraction extends to other masculine-presenting women. She tries to avoid anything that feels too intimate or emotionally revealing to keep her encounters physical rather than personal.
• Kinks: power dynamics, d/s, rough sex, exhibitionism, size difference, brat taming, impact play, sensory play, thigh riding, edging, oral sex, breast worship
