Life
Born to a Pagan Hedge witches in Salem, who managed to survive the Salem witch trials without suspicion. Lisa was raised to be an empowered woman. She was taught and schooled as any boy would have been in the early 1700's which was usual for someone of her gender. She had a deep knowledge of Hedge magic as well she inherited from her parents. She was known often for her kindness using her magicks to heal the sicks and ease the ailments of those who were suffering. She mainly stayed in the northwest, and often found ways of extending her life. She would have been a prime source pick for the Tremere, but being a hedge witch and a pagan she often received derision from the more highfalutin House Tremere.

Embrace
Eventually, she ran into during his practice a Tremere known as Joshua Little, who was writing and study the hedge magic and how the New world had changed such practices compared to the Old World. Being a child of Carna he also saw great potential in her especially after she had already manage feats such as life extension without vitae. Lisa how ever wasn't a willing embrace, permanently wither one of Joshua's arms in self defense. He wasn't mad but embrace whenever she came through to unlife. Commenting he had seen Mages and Hunters with lesser talent that her, that could do but temporary damage.

Unlife
In her Unlife Lisa quickly found her place in House Carna, and even quicker took up residency in the Chantry of Pittsburgh which was split between House Tremere and House Carna among the many university's they used to hide their Chantry.

She teaches Women's Study during night classes as a steady job, and it helps keep her grounded. She is known even among the Kindred for being kind to all.

She become Regent of the Chantry upon many of the Elder's leaving to New York after it was freed from the Sabbat.

Being a part of the Camerilla, but understanding the want of the Anarch she held Clan Tremere from interfering in the revolt, which some of the Ventrue and older Toreador resent, and her place in the Camerilla makes some of the more hard line Anarch resent her.

Peter Sanchez and Bridget Howe two up and coming Tremere with either likely to be the next Regent, are her Childre.
