I bury my wounds by the riverside
and as hard as you might find
Ladybird is by turns flighty and flirty, threatening and violent. He's difficult to pin down; fickle yet full of laughter, excellent at his job and yet with no real pride in his work. He's been an assassin since he was a young boy, raised by a woman who was once the best, who cultivated Ladybird's reputation with precision so that in time she could retire and he might take her place. He did perhaps too well; with no childhood lessons on relationships and no shows of genuine love he killed his master when he was barely 14 and took her place a long time before she'd ever expected it. When he's working he goes by Lady, or Lady Bird; people have assumed the space in his name as an imaginary title and he's fine with it. Largely the infamous assassin Lady is believed to be a woman. This makes Lady's job a great deal easier, when strange handsome men are overlooked in favor of scanning female partygoers. Lady learned to paint when he was young for a job and it is one of the few hobbies that genuinely delight him, but he has of course integrated it into his work as well. He always leaves a card pinned to whatever victim he's killed, a bird hand-painted on either side. It's the only way to reliably identify a mark as his, since he kills in a variety of ways.
He doesn't mind not taking public credit for his kills; he enjoys his job only because he's good at it and he likes the feeling of being accomplished, but he's never been one for the limelight. He's working in Zenobia right now on Xiomara's behalf and he hasn't minded it so bad. She wanted a different touch from her magicians' usual handiwork, but Ladybird's been hired for longer than he initially expected and has taken to living in the castle with Roisin, Vannamayil and the witches. He hasn't minded it; it's been years since he had a companion for more than a few days. They probably mind it a little, since Ladybird has a habit of being mean as hell to everybody and their mom, but it hasn't bothered him much. The assassin's mood really varies on the hour; he's flirty a lot, playful and coy and then liable to get surly and snappish an hour later. If he ever truly loved someone he would discover a soft spot he buried a long time ago, when he was really young, and realize that he could be gentle; but until then he remains firmly convinced that true affection is something he simply cannot imagine. He has absolutely no loyalty and would doublecross almost anybody to get what he wanted. He's ambitious with his work and always wants to be better, faster, quieter.

I shoot to kill no prisoners survive
I cover trails that I've left behind
