Alignment: neutral
Affiliation: self employed, yet currently works with the Teen Titans as an information broker.
Personality: The best way to summarise Willow is to see her as a shy and caring individual, who has a strong motherly side and an even stronger moral resolve. But behind the generally meek nature of her first appearance, Willow has also been known to be very determined and strong-willed, often going to great lengths to get what she wants. She currently resides in Jump City, acting as an information broker to the Teen Titans, though before that she was a member of the "Lost Girls" in Gotham City- a group of burlesque stage performers. During her time there, Willow was taught to regard being a woman highly, in a sense making her a feminist in nature.
Love interests: Willow was raised to value femininity and feminisms as a whole, so she did considers herself as asexual as men were ususally treat with suspicion in her former home (The Lost Girls.) Though after spending a extended period of time travelling with the mercenary "Ghost" Willow finds herself developing feelings for him.
History: As a 1.5 generation character, Willow makes her debut appearance in my headcannon as a member of the “Lost Girls.” She is a young adolescent child, around 14 years of age, who works as the musician within the group. But in the Teen Titans universe, she is around 17 years old.
Originally being the daughter to Aldric Lieben, an upper-class German construction manager, who had moved to Gotham in hopes of making his fortunes there; and Katarine Lieben, a frail lady who often remained indoors due to poor health. Willow grew up playing within the walls of the house and it was soon revealed that she had musical talent in which her parent strongly encouraged. She began on the piano, but later found a love in the violin. Because she was from an affluent family, she was taught by private tutors and as a result her talent bloomed.
When Willow was 8 years old, her parents died under mysterious circumstances during a family holiday to Metropolis. Her Uncle, Nardo Lieben inherited the vast family estate and became the sole guardian to the young girl. Though it was always suspected that Nardo had some involvement in the deaths, as he was always jealous of his older brother, it was never proven. Soon after moving into the home with his young son Körbl Lieben, Nardo became fearful that when Willow grew up, she would claim onto the family estate. In an attempt to stop this he became emotionally and physically abusive to her, leaving her with a permanent fear of men in general and the inability to talk. (This was due to the mental abuse, he actually made her believe that she had to be seen and not heard.)
Willow eventually ran away from the abusive home and found herself at the mercy of the "Sewers King," very quickly becoming one fo the "dwellers" that resided there. Many of the other, younger children saw Willow's quiet disposition as something to attach to and Willow became a motherly figure to many of them. She eventually escaped the Sewer King's clutches when the Jokerette freed them. (The Jokerette is the head of the Lost Girls, and Willow connected to her. As a result of this, she followed the young woman back to the club, and became a member there.)
Willow then spends the next several years as a member of these "Lost Girls"- a group of young adolescences who are taken in by the Jokerette in an attempt to keep them off the streets. As a burlesque group, they preform in a number of ways to entertain their guests, and use chemical compunds such as “Euphoria” to get the greatest high from their well paying customers. Willow ended up joining the odd troupe of girls as a musician, using her talent on the violin to act as a backing act for the older girls. (Considering her age, Willow wasn't allowed to become a main act until she was 18, but she left before then and never really revealed herself to many of the paying customers.)
After a series of events that lead to Willow being kidnapped, she decided to leave her home and travel. Jokerette hired the young mercenary "Ghost" AKA Kean Mustang to protect her on their travels. The only reason he was called in was because he was "gay" and was therefore uninterested in Willow (Jokerette feared for the girl travelling on her own, and being the strong feminist character she is, Kean seemed the perfect matchup for Willow. It's pretty complicated but I strongly believe that the Jokerette wouldn't just hire anybody to protect a member of the Lost Girls, it had to be someone who would never think of hurting Willow ^^") Unfortunately Willow was never made aware of these reasons, and naturally treat Kean with suspicion. They eventually form a bond when she is attacked by as unknown foe calling themselves "Karma" and Kean rescues her, proving he is worthy of her trust, and later feelings of affection.
She is currently residing in Jump City, using her knowledge gained under the Lost Girls to be an efficient information broker. The Titans don't trust her, due to her past and the Lost Girls not necessarily being a "legal" group, however her information proves to be valuable and she is slowly gaining their trust.

I've been a busy girl o.o
I thought it was about time I cracked open my tablet and tried drawing again, I'm actually rather pleased with the outcome! (Recognize the drawing? Yeah I decided to stick with an older image xD) Willow has seriously been needing a bio for a while now, and throwing together this quick one was pretty fun :3 there's a lot of information missing in her history, but there is a reason for that! The Lost Girls phase is undergoing development, and I don't want to say anything until it has been finalised! So apologies for that ^^"
Willow Lieben (c)- me
The "Lost Girls" and Jokerette (c) DerbyMask (I do not recall the deviant art name for the lovely lady for owns Jokerette, all I know is that Derby has used her quiet a few times, and that she's a primary member of the Lost Girls. If the name is given to me then I will be more than happy to make edits to this and give her the proper credits she deserves!) Xx
