Hobbies:
Urban Geocaching — Urban geocaching takes Lennox on scavenger hunts throughout the city, as she searches for hidden treasures and secret locations that many would overlook. Armed with a GPS and a keen eye for detail, she scours alleyways, old industrial zones, and forgotten spaces between towering buildings. The excitement of uncovering something hidden right in plain sight offers a satisfying sense of discovery. Whether it's a small trinket left by another cacher or an abandoned space turned into a cache, each find adds to the thrill of the search, making the city feel full of possibilities waiting to be uncovered.
Rock Climbing — Rock climbing offers a physical challenge that keeps Lennox grounded and focused. Whether indoors or scaling outdoor rock faces, it requires strength, technique, and problem-solving skills, all of which Lennox thrives on. Each climb presents a new puzzle to solve, forcing her to carefully plan her next move while using her body in ways that keep her engaged and active. The rush of reaching the top is always rewarding, giving her a sense of accomplishment that sticks with her long after the climb is over. The solitary nature of the sport also offers her time to think, recalibrate, and clear her mind of any distractions.
Gardening — Lennox has cultivated a small but thriving indoor succulent garden, a quiet space where she can tend to plants that require minimal attention but still offer a sense of growth and reward. She enjoys the careful attention needed to maintain her collection—monitoring light, watering schedules, and the occasional pruning. The hardiness of succulents appeals to her, as these plants are resilient and forgiving, much like she is. There’s something soothing about watching her plants slowly spread and flourish in their little pots, and the calm, peaceful atmosphere they create in her apartment serves as a welcome contrast to the more chaotic elements of her life. The simplicity of the garden is a form of self-care, giving her a quiet space to unwind while feeling a small, tangible connection to the life around her.
Virtues:
Introspective — Lennox often spends a lot of time in her own head. She tends to think deeply about her cases and personal experiences, analyzing every detail, no matter how small. Though some may perceive her as distant or even cold, her introspection allows her to connect dots others might miss. It's through her quiet reflections that Lennox finds clarity, often contemplating larger issues such as justice, morality, and the world's responsibilities to its most vulnerable. While it can sometimes lead her to overthink or become caught in her own thoughts, her self-reflection keeps her grounded, and helps her grow wiser with each passing day.
Tenacious — Lennox has been through a lot in her life, but she refuses to let anything stop her from achieving her goals. Her persistence is quiet yet powerful—she doesn't give up easily, no matter the challenge. Whether it's fighting against the darker sides of human nature in her work or surviving the trauma of her early years, Lennox digs in her heels and pushes forward. She doesn’t always display her strength in loud or obvious ways, but her resolve is unshakable. When obstacles arise, she meets them with determination, knowing she will keep going until she finds a solution, no matter how long it takes.
Protective — Though Lennox may appear emotionally distant to some, those she cares about know that she is fiercely protective. Whether it’s a loved one, a vulnerable stranger, or someone caught in a dangerous situation, she’ll go to great lengths to keep them safe. Her protective instincts run deep, and though she’s not always one to express it verbally, her actions speak volumes. Lennox will put herself in harm’s way if it means shielding someone from danger. Her loyalty is unwavering, and she’ll stop at nothing to ensure the safety of those she feels responsible for.
Flaws:
Cynical — Years of hardship and exposure to the darker side of life have made Lennox jaded. She’s skeptical of the idea that things can always improve, and she has little faith in the goodness of most people. Her strong sense of justice is matched by a profound lack of trust in the systems meant to uphold it. The world, to Lennox, is often a place where things don't work out as they should. She doesn't believe in happy endings, and even the most well-intentioned efforts often seem doomed to failure. This view makes her dismissive of the idea that people can change, and she often doesn’t expect the best from those around her, even as she fights for what’s right.
Guarded — Lennox struggles to show her emotions, often keeping them tightly locked away behind a wall of stoicism. She’s deeply introspective and tends to deal with her inner turmoil alone, never wanting to burden others with her personal struggles. Though she cares deeply for those close to her, Lennox’s reluctance to open up can make her seem cold or detached. She keeps others at arm’s length, not because she doesn’t care, but because she’s learned that it’s safer to remain emotionally distant. Her difficulty with vulnerability makes it hard for her to form deep connections, and she often pushes people away before they can get too close.
Impatient — Lennox has no patience for inefficiency or delays. When things aren’t moving as quickly as she’d like, she becomes frustrated and can act impulsively. Whether it's in her work or her personal life, she’s constantly driven by the need to see things done right and done fast. This urgency can lead to mistakes or risk-taking, especially when she feels like time is running out. She has little tolerance for red tape or bureaucracy and can become dismissive of anyone who doesn’t share her sense of urgency. Lennox values results and prefers to take action immediately, sometimes overlooking the smaller details in her rush to make progress.
