Summary:
A seemingly prim and proper maid is the last kind of person you would want behind the wheel of a 450+ horsepower, several hundred thousand CR, rear wheel drive race car. Lynette wouldn't blame you if that is in fact what you were thinking. She has, thanks to indirect influence from her mother, decided to pursue the path of a racer anyways.
At a young age, while sifting through old albums of her parents, Lynette encountered a strange set of photographs depicting her mother. She found out that her supposedly 'lady-like' mother had once been involved in road racing, and judging by the trophies and bottles of champagne in those photos, quite successful. It was ironic that her mother preached "proper" behavior while indulging in a playboy's sport. When Lynette confronted her mother for the reason as to why she was a racer, she stated that a truly proper maid should be prepared for anything.
After spending a few years in karts, Lynette started her first season in a "big" car in 2013, driving in club-level rallycross events. As part of her mother's "ready for anything" philosophy, her family-run team also had her running in small touring cars and open-wheel racers. Although a relatively steady driver in rallycross and touring cars, her results made it obvious that open-wheel was her calling, where she won two events in the British Formula Rookie series, eventually netting her 4th in the driver's standings.
Her big break nearly came in 2015, where she had been scouted by a British Formula C team after an impressive string of race wins in Formula Rookie the year before. She managed to dominate an entire race weekend at Donington, with back to back wins in her third race weekend of the season. That would quickly be marred in the following race at Brands Hatch, where a scarily massive shunt from a brake failure resulted in a suspension arm breaching her car's chassis... and her intestines. Thanks to a very quick response from the trackside safety and medical teams, she survived, but her racing season was over. Had it not been for the emotional support from her friends and teammates, her racing career would have been over from the bullying she got from a certain game developer as well.
Having recovered from her wounds, Lynette is back to racing. However, ever since her shunt that fateful day, she has been far more safety conscious than ever. Not wanting to give up her racing career, she is now looking for a sports car racing team that is willing to prove their "readiness for anything" as much as she is.
Roleplaying Notes:
- Lynette is incredibly formal, bordering on ridiculous. She even curtsies every time she introduces herself, be it in public or to her friends in private.
- In keeping with her "prim and proper" tone, Lynette will never use profanity.
- If the GRL ever has player teams run in the Grand Prix cars, keep her away from them. That shunt she had brings back bad memories for her.
- That shunt also made her really image conscious; she's deathly afraid that another wreck in a GP car will alter her looks in a place far more easily seen than her abdomen. This is one of the things that drives her to switch to sports cars.
- Manley Sue is that "certain game developer"; backed by a still-huge fanbase, he decided to use his popularity on the internet to attempt to bully Lynette out of her racing career.
