At first I didnt want to post this one, since I made it basically as a character concept, and a lot of the background elements are traced, or at least heavily based on photos.
Age: 42
Occupation: archelogist, explorer, victorian laura Croft
Likes; reptiles, precious stones, natives that does not chase after her with swords/try to eat her/sacrifice her to a volcano god.
dislikes: Tea, other archelogists, natives that chases after her with swords/try to eat her/sacrifice her to a volcano god.
Lila Burner is mostly a footnote when it comes to victorian explorers. It was somewhat remarkable to be a female explorer in that era, however, the fellows of the Archeological Society agreed that her gender was next to irrelevant, they certainly didnt want to be the one telling her she couldn't join, not after that time she knocked an alligator unconscious with the paddle of a canoe...
Her fellow archelogists found her methods sloppy, but effective, she was remakably good at finding (and dodging) ancient, mysteriously still functioning death Traps. The morality of her actions could sometimes be quesitoned, however, at least the pieces she recovered ended up in a museum (most of the time, anyway).
She published er research under several pseudonymes, which is part of the reason she is mostly forgotten, except by the more dedicated feminist history proffessors. However, she did inspire the name for the Burner kick, a particular kind of kick which allows you to boot someone in the head without giving him the oppertunity to peek under your skirt.
According to records, she had a brief affair with a disinguished archeologist, name unknown, but they broke up when on one expedition she rescued a boa cosntrictor and insisted on keeping it as a pet. She disappeared fro public view shortly after this photograph was taken, during the expidition to find the Rudbeckian Diamond. Her last recorded words was, translated to modern idioms, "ka-ching!"
