HISTORY: Lorraine Lynn Malden was born as one of a pair of female twins on July 2nd, 1944 to Christopher and Susan Malden in their flat in New York.  Susan wanted a baby girl and Chris wanted a baby boy. Neither decisions were really set in stone, it was just a friendly opposition, but that's why the new bedroom ended up being neutral colors. They already had two boys, so they were armed and ready to handle another boy but instead they got two healthy baby girls. It was her mother's goal from then on to try and get her and her sister Scarlet to act the girl, to clothe her in dresses, and for her to have tea parties and so forth. Her two boys already were a handful and she felt it would be nice to have a very well behaved daughter. Though it became quickly apparent over the years that Lorraine, who preferred to always be called Lor, was not going to be the girly girl she had wished for very much at all.

Lorraine did make for some allowances to her mother in doing a few things a girl should do since it ended arguments rather quickly. But she always favoured the boys, desiring to get rough and dirty, then to play with dolls, etc. In school, she made all the right grades but she always seemed to manage to get into trouble for sticking up for somebody else. This her parents found rather frustrating but seeing as her father was a cop, they weren't entirely surprised that she desired to protect others. She also has always looked a little younger than her age -- with the added bonus of having brown hair instead of her family's general blonde, and with her being somewhat of a loner, even as a child, she was an ample target for her multitude of classmates to pick on. In the second grade, her sister marched up to Lorraine on the playground and announced, in front of everyone, that not only had she seen Lorraine picking her nose, but that she'd eaten it. Smiling to the chorus of laughter at her little lie, Scarlet Malden went on her way.

Her best and only true friend ever since early childhood was a boy, James Silver. The two were always as thick as thieves and had all sorts of fun times together. Before he went off to war they lost their virginity to one another, and she didn't know it, but that night was the last time that Lorraine would ever see her beloved friend again. That wasn't the first loss she would have that year however, as her father Christopher died in a car accident soon after, throwing her mother into depression and her two older brothers (William and Randolph) were also drafted. Her twin sister Scarlet got into dealing and doing drugs soon after that and was forced by her mother to leave the household, moving off to her own place. After what she had put Lor through in the past year (abuse, bullying, etc) though... well, she could rot there for all she cared.

A year later, when the Beatles entered the scene and she discovered them, she became obsessed to the point of Beatlemania. Finally somebody was talking and singing to the masses about thoughts that she had so often in life! And they were very attractive men as well as clever! At this happier point in her life, her mother decided that it was time to finally marry a man she had been going out with for quite some time after her last husband's demise. His name was Daniel Parson and he had two daughters around Lorraine's age; Claudia and Judith.

Note: This is from a Sherlock roleplay I did once.

James Moriarty observed her snap back into reality as if her mind had been drifting away on some sea of dreams and fantasy but his voice acted as if it were a sharp knife and sliced right through her hazy thoughts. He watched her study his face and the entire rest of his frame almost questioningly, her cheeks that had been so pale a minute before now tinted dark pink and near red as if she had applied blush to them. His own dark optics hinted excitement and even a tad bit of jubilation since he had been noticed by her. Jim also observed that when she spoke her greeting and question to him that her words sounded hinted with a certain small level of anxiety and it was almost as if she fancied him already the way she gazed and gawked. He ran his hand and fingers through his short, ebony hair for a moment and continued to grin charmingly, determined to make as good a first impression upon her as he could which he must seem welcoming, friendly and attractive to do properly. So he decided to do so and to start it off he must reply to what she had asked him just a second ago.

"I don't believe I need anything in particular at this moment." Jim glanced towards the chair he had just been offered by her and squeezed up a quick smile, grabbing his mug of hazelnut coffee and moving places. Once comfortably seated, he proceeded to read over the noir type. It seemed it was a resume' and it also seemed that this woman had been in the army... and a sniper in the army at that. Lord, he really could use somebody alike to her on his side! Perhaps she'd find a new job tonight as his sniper and perhaps it had been the fact she could not find a job that she had looked so down and discouraged when she had first walked into the shop. There. Most likely he had already put two and two together about what she'd been up to earlier. Now he would probably just needed to coax her to join him. But how?

Something out of his own mind quite quickly answered the mental question of his: with charm of course! Oh that would be just too easy! Most women he had met in the past had been easy to seduce and fascinate. "Thank you very much for this kind motion of yours." He smiled at her, eyes twinkling almost as much as the emotion expressed plainly and openly on his visage. Then he decided it was time to go down to business. "I see your resume' here and I presume you are out searching for a place to work? I have a job I could offer to you because seem just the person for it and you're... quite beautiful too." There. This was bound to be a piece of cake to do.
