Backstory

Lapirsara, a young and attractive woman, who was taught by her Master Chai to combat malicious spirits and mortals alike. A few years back, during her high school days, alongside her best friend, Mina, their high school  was plagued with malicious spirits that were causing their fellow students to commit suicide. While, thankfully, the spirits were handled by the trio of Phukong, Boon-Mee, and Dorothea, the situation traumatized Lapisara and, thus, she wanted to learn to combat spirits in the future. After finishing her high school education and before making her plans for college, Lapisara sought out an individual by the name of Chai. Chai was a Cambion Thai man who was born to a human father and demon mother. While nervous to meet the Cambion, because Lapisara wasn't too fond of demons, regardless if they were half-human or not, Master Chai was the only person recommended to her in Bangkok who could teach individuals to see and combat spirits.

Lapisara went to meet Master Chai at the temple owned by his father and requested him to train her. Master Chai first refused Lapisara but after the girl's constant pestering, the Cambion gave in as he struck Lapisara in the chest, which stopped her heart from beating and caused her to die. Fortunately, his intention was not to kill her permanently and he performed a technique to bring her back to life seconds later. The reason behind his action was because there are only being three ways to see and combat spirits. The first is being born with the natural ability to see and touch spirits. Those are individuals known as Spirit Touchers. The second is being blessed by a spell at a young age that permits one to see spirits upon hitting puberty. And last, temporarily killing a person in order for them to gain quick access to the Spirit Realm before being brought back to life swiftly. This allowed an individual to gain the ability to see spirits and to combat them.

Upon waking up in Master Chai's resting quarters, Lapisara noticed a mirror next to her. She looked into it saw that her eye color changed from brown to sapphire. Shortly afterwards, she found Master Chai meditating. Lapisara asked him what happened to her. She learned that he killed her in order to give her access to see and combat spirits. Lapisara freaked out at first, but once she calmed down she realized that this was what she wanted. The woman then asked Master Chai when he could start training her to combat spirits. The man told Lapisara to go home and if she was genuine to return the next day at 12 noon to start her vigorous training. 

Lapisara returned to the temple the following day, and Master Chai began the woman's training. Less than a few months later, Lapisara was able to perform devastating kicks and maneuver her body like a whip. These techniques allowed her to exorcise evil spirits and fight against evildoers. A year later, Lapisara was a proficient fighter and exorcist, yet her personality remained the same irksome woman that she was since childhood. Fortunately, Master Chai didn't allow his student's behavior to interfere with training, and Mina, who was Lapisara's best friend since they were children, was used to Lapisara's whiny and naggy demeanor. Lapisara even tried to take on a femme fatale persona. The problem was she couldn't maintain it well since it was not her genuine personality. Nonetheless, the young woman was thankful to have the tools to combat the things that once haunted her.

TRIVIA

1. Lapisara's attacks are named after flowers, particularly ones found in Thailand.

2. Lapisara is influenced by the character Luong from THE KING OF FIGHTERS series.

Unlike Luong, who is a true femme fatale and a confident woman in her mannerisms,  Lapisara puts on an act. At the slightest inconvenience, her facade is shattered and the whiny personality comes out.

3. Lapisara had to be killed since she didn't possess the natural abilities to combat spirits nor was she blessed by a spell at infancy to see spirits.

4. Lapisara has an ahoge (an exaggerated cowlick hair style common in Japanese anime/manga).

5. Lapisara doesn't hate Phukong, Boon-Mee, and Dorothea, she simply doesn't like them.
