VESPER LYND
Age: 27
Personality:
Vesper is smart and calculating, she comes off as cold and sometimes controlling, but it is to hide her insecurities. She has always come off as a forceful person, working harder and more aggressively than others because she thinks that people will not take her seriously as a woman. She tends to come off as very abrupt or harsh, giving her almost an air of mystery.

She describes herself as a 'complicated woman', but is really no different than most women, especially when in love. She is easily used to gain things an enemy way want of her when it involves those she cares deeply about. Even though she can be used in such a manner doesn't mean that she has given you her trust. She is wary of those she doesn't know, unless she is encouraged of their trust.

Vesper can prove to be a skeptic and watch things very closely, although she has a somewhat fragile view on violence, she doesn't particularly like seeing it or being involved in it. It bothers her deeply. She adjusts to new situations quickly and thinks on her feet. It has come in use in the past, when Bond was poisoned and she rushed to his aid after he didn't return, it was her arrival and quick thinking that saved his life.
History:
Vesper Lynd was born in Surrey, England in 1981. She came from a fairly well off family. When Vesper was eight her parents died tragically. Her father, being an influential lawyer, hit hard time and sunk to depression. In this depression he thought he was saving his family by killing his wife and then himself, forcing young Vesper to live with her grandparents. She was a loner for a few years until her teen years. She became active in school, taking a particular interest in languages and mathematics. She worked hard, showing her grandparents that she was able to jump straight into university, instead of a two-year college to start off.

She was accepted into the University of Greenwich, much to her delight. There she proved to be a hard-working student, not interested in activities as much as getting her work done, still she had a fairly active social life and a tight-knit group of friends. She met her first serious boyfriend at the age of twenty-three while finishing her degree. He was French-Algerian as he came to England to study. The relationship lasted and persisted and he told her of plans of marriage, giving her a necklace as a promise ring of a sort as they went into the real world, with Vesper as a young accountant.

Things turned ugly when a deal made between her boyfriend and an organisation went wrong. They took him as a hostage, torturing him and in his pain, he revealed the young British girl he loved and her profession. They hoped to use her position to extort money in return for his safety, thus placing her opportunely as the liaison from the Treasury to the MI6 in an operation to bankrupt terrorists.

Vesper never counted on things to happen as they did. At first she was appalled by Bond's ego and worked with him unhappily. She warmed up to him slightly after he comforted her after a brutal fight, where she believed a man's death was on her hands. After the poker tournament, Le Chiffre (having just lost), kidnapped both Bond and Vesper and tortured both, in which, Vesper agreed to give them money and information in return for her boyfriend's and Bond's safety. The head of the organisation, Mr White, put an end to the torture and let them go. She didn't leave Bond's side through much of the time he was hospitalised, their mutual dislike becoming a blossoming romance.

They looked to start a new life together, Bond leaving the MI6 to be with Vesper. While on holiday in Venice, the money was handed over to Mr White, but the men locked Vesper in an elevator. As the building started to crumble, she resigned herself to death, knowing that she had wronged her new love and they would never let them live happily as long as she lived. Believing that she had died, Bond left.

She had lived or barely managed to, her heart weak and her breathing shallow. Vesper spent about two months in a coma-like state before coming around. After that she went through therapy, physical and psychological, as a precautionary for any damaged caused by her accident. Following the events, Vesper sought out M and the rest of the MI6 when she had found out that Bond left England. It lead her the US and more specifically New Orleans.
