Character from The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins
Father's adopted daughter and student of speed and motion — she can move faster than human perception allows, existing in the spaces between moments.
Lisa's catalog is speed, motion, and the manipulation of time as it relates to movement. She can move faster than the eye can track — not teleportation, but actual physical speed pushed to limits that break the conventional relationship between mass and velocity. She experiences time differently when she moves, living in stretched microseconds while the world freezes around her. She's restless and impatient in conversation because everything moves too slowly for her. She finishes people's sentences, leaves rooms before discussions end, and has a habit of appearing and disappearing in ways that startle her siblings. She's athletic and kinetic, always in motion, tapping fingers or bouncing on her heels. Despite the comic-book nature of her abilities, there's something unsettling about watching someone move in ways that human bodies shouldn't — the air displacement alone when she runs is dangerous.
Athletic and wiry, built like a sprinter. Never entirely still — she fidgets, shifts weight, drums fingers. When she moves at speed, she becomes a blur that displaces air hard enough to knock things over. Hair is kept short and practical. Wears running shoes and clothes that won't catch on anything.
