Laketta is a slender black woman, standing at five feet seven inches tall and weighing in at a little over one-hundred thirty pounds. Her skin is beautifully dark, darker than any glancing touch of the sun could ever produce. Her soft-curled, shoulder length hair is dense but yielding, and thick enough to lose your fingers in. Although having a head full of hair, Laketta prefers to wear her hair in protective styles (braids, weaves, wigs, etc.), which allow her hair to grow longer and healthier. She'll usually wear a bone-straight, waist length wig. There's a certain elegance in the way that Laketta holds herself: a good posture, long confident strides and a head held high. She often looks taller than her height of 5"7 considering that she's always wearing heels when she has a choice.
Her eyes are large and almond shaped, the brown of the iris so dark that it almost appears to be black. Her eyes are fringed with long, thick lashes. She has a short, delicate nose and perfectly arched, dark eyebrows. Her face is heart-shaped; she has high cheekbones and a pointed chin. Her lips are full and always covered with a clear lip gloss. When smiling, you can see that she has two rows of perfectly white teeth, a slight overbite present. Laketta often times finds herself applying a full face of makeup before work, therefore enhancing her natural beauty.
When it comes to her fashion sense, Laketta always dresses to impress. Her wardrobe consists of stunning pantsuits, dresses, blouses, and a large number of heels and boots. She likes to look her best everyday, and usually spends about two hours each morning making sure that there's nothing out of place. It's rare to see her in a state of disarray as she believes that she should always look prepared and presentable, especially when she's the most frazzled. When it comes to jewelry, Laketta likes to be a bit flashy. She'll always wear a large pair of hoop or dangly earrings, along with matching necklaces, bracelets, and rings.

Lying
↳ Laketta has been a fantastic liar. Ever since she was a young girl, she'll often finds herself telling tales to coworkers, friends, and family members in order to get what she wants. She is also good at keeping up with the lie/coming up with little details in order to make them more believable. Also helps in her field of work; she sometimes finds herself having to stretch the truth in order to give her clients their best chance.
Language
↳ Growing up, Laketta's mother had always stressed the importance of learning new languages and cultures. While her native tongue is English/Jamaican Patois, Laketta can also speak Spanish, French, German, and Chinese, and is currently learning Portuguese. Knowing many different languages also puts her at an advantage when it comes to her profession.
Emotional Intelligence
↳ Laketta has a talent for reading other people. She can quickly and easily determine the intentions/motives of other people. Even from brief interaction with someone she has just met, she can determine what type of person they are, and most of the time, after getting to know and understand them further, be correct in her assumption.
𝓢𝓲𝓰𝓷𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓮 𝓢𝓴𝓲𝓵𝓵
Manipulation is Laketta's signature skill. As stated before, Laketta is an amazing liar, and often finds herself lying to and manipulating the feelings of others in order to get what she wants. Do not get this confused with pathological lying; her lying is not habitual, and she knows when and where to tell the truth. She can smooth talk her way out of almost anything, and takes pride in doing so.

If you had to describe Laketta in one word, most people would choose terms along the lines of "intelligent", "adamant" or "bossy". While she can't entirely deny any of those, Laketta considers the core aspect of her personality to be
determination. Her intelligence is mostly based on her determination to do well. All through grade school and university, Laketta studied her ass off in order to make it where she is now. A textbook
extrovert, Laketta loves to chat with people (unless she's having a bad day, in which case she still loves to talk, but she leans towards negativity and passive-aggression) and tends to be genuinely
friendly. She does not shy away from talking to strangers.
Aside from being very friendly, Laketta is a
perfectionist who has high standards for herself, and has a tendency to correct people and nitpick. Every now and then, she is
dishonest and manipulative. When in a bad mood, she will sometimes come off as
conceited and
arrogant. Despite all of her shortcomings, there's no denying that Laketta is
extremely dependable. If you ask her to meet you somewhere, she will be there; if she promises to do something, she will do it; if you ask her for help, she will do everything in her power to assist. Underneath the frustrated sighs and eye-rolls lies a person who's kind and
caring at the core. Any friends of hers will be able to see it, even if it's not immediately obvious to everyone else. Laketta is only truly mean when she's extremely frustrated or really dislikes someone. For the most part she's pleasant enough to be around and is usually willing to extend a helping hand to someone.

ChildhoodLaketta was born in Kingston, Jamaica to Wilhelmina and Joseph Alazhari on December 1st, 1989. Like most Jamaican households, the Alazhari family had a very strong bond. The extended family - grandparents, aunts, uncles, nannies, and even neighbors - were all involved in Laketta's upbringing. Although very strict, however, Laketta's parents could sometimes be very fun-loving and encouraging. They pushed her to do her best, academically and athletically, and took responsibility very seriously. Since the age of five, Laketta had been expected to do chores daily, all while maintaining an A average. While school was in session during the week, Laketta was not permitted to watch television, play games, nor leave the house before completing
all of her work. Wilhelmina and Joseph pushed their daughter to strive for perfection because nothing less would be acceptable.
By the time Laketta was twelve, she'd grown into a fine, mature young lady. She was the top in her class, the captain of her football team, and never broke any set rules or boundaries. Even at that young age, she knew exactly what she wanted to do in her life and how she was going to achieve it. Everything was going smoothly, that is, until that one Thursday night.
Laketta's mother, Wilhelmina, had gone on an overnight business trip, leaving her and her father home alone. Well, they
were alone, until Joseph's "little friend" came over for a late night visit. Apparently, her father incorrectly assumed that Laketta was asleep. He brought his friend up into the bedroom and shut the door before having intercourse on her parents' bed. Because her bedroom was right across from theirs, Laketta had no problem sneaking across the hallway and cracking open the door.
They didn't even see her watching them. The next morning when Laketta woke up, the girlfriend had gone and her father had made breakfast. The two of them ate in silence, Joseph reading the newspaper and Laketta's mind spinning. They sat like that for a good while until Laketta finally brought up what she'd seen the night before.
Of course, Joseph begged for his daughter to keep the secret from her mother, which she'd agreed to under one condition: he had to promise to throw her a large party for her thirteenth birthday. Eager to keep his daughter's mouth shut, Joseph obliged, and so did Laketta. The longer she kept the secret from her mother, however, the more she started to hate her father, and the easier it became for her to manipulate him. day after day, month after month, Laketta used this piece of information to easily get what she wanted from her pathetic, cheating father. Laketta loved the feeling of having some sort of power over someone, and pretty soon her lying and manipulating expanded to more than just her father.
Young Adulthood As soon as Laketta turned eighteen years old, she was out of the house and into the real world. She'd been accepted to Northern Caribbean University on a full scholarship, and majored in Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Law and Political Science. Because of her rocky relationship with her father and her parents' split, Laketta decided to cut all communications with him and his side of the family. She'll call her mother every now and then, but does not talk to her as often as she should.
After Laketta earned her Bachelor's, she went on to law school and became licensed at the age of twenty-five. Fresh out of law school, she landed a job at a well-known law firm. It was around that time that she got a call from her aunt, her father's sister, informing her of her half-sister. Apparently, the girlfriend that she'd caught her father sleeping with other women way before Laketta had caught him, and ended up getting one of them pregnant. When she was told that her father refused to even meet the girl, Laketta decided to give her a call. The two of them instantly hit it off, and eventually decided to get an apartment together.
Recent EventsNow, at the age of twenty-seven, Laketta lives in a two bedroom apartment with her younger half-sister. She has also been dating an older man, Hampton Brown, on and off for the past year. The two of them met at a club that Laketta's best friends forced her to visit, and instantly got along. Within a couple of weeks, Hampton becamse Laketta's very first long term boyfriend. The only reason that they are now broken up is because Hampton can get a bit
too violent when he's intoxicated.

- Howard, Laketta's on and off boyfriend, is constantly calling, texting, visiting the apartment, etc. in a desperate attempt to get his girl back. Every now and then, however, his sweet and charming calls/texts will turn into malicious threats and taunts. She keeps three locks on the front and back doors in fear that he'll show up one night in a drunken rage. She'll sometimes even look over her shoulder when walking in public, worried that he'll find her.
- Laketta's father will eventually try to enter his daughter's life once more, which will bring back a lot of old memories. Will also cause problems with Janelle.
- She is given an extremely tough case. The client she is defending refuses to open up about the murder that he is suspected of committing, leaving her with only a few minor details that even she can't stretch in the court room.
