*cracks knuckles* For the headcanon ask…

1. She loves spicy food, to the point of cheerfully adding Scotch bonnets to the ingredients pile if someone else is cooking. (Roy is the only one who can eat anything she does. After years of eating whatever was most affordable, Roy’s tastebuds are slightly tougher than boot leather.)
2. She can charm anyone. It’s not sex appeal, although that’s an easy hook that she can use; she is just very very good at making people feel comfortable or interested or safe.
3. No-one gets to see Lisa Snart putting on makeup unless she wants them to know that at the current moment, they’re less important to her than getting her makeup right.
4. She is a lot meaner than her brother - I’m not saying her behaviour is more extreme, but she’ll show small cruelties well before he does. It’s a safety check. If she can be mean to you and you don’t push back, that means she’s still in control of the situation, even if you threw her for a loop. (This is not the best way to check, nor is it conscious; it is also the near-entirety of her motivation in Joyride.)
5. She’s not scared when Len’s around. Things will be as good as they can possibly be when Len’s around. Mick is almost as good.
6. She’s very good at letting other people make assumptions and running with them. She doesn’t usually do it, but she can totally pull off the kind of thing that Tara does in this clip from Leverage.
7. That said, I don’t think she likes it at all. It is much safer easier to not need to rely on people to decide to do the thing you need them to do, and simply make them do it. Len is not the only control freak in the Snart family, is what I mean to say.
8. She is also very good at picking up on people’s moods. She avoids being the den mother of the Rogues by generally not caring about their moods unless someone really needs managing, and she’s got a pretty high threshold for “that will sort itself out” before she starts to manage.
9. She has not lost a drinking contest since she was seventeen. Yes, sometimes she cheats. But she wins.
10. You know that perfectly dry possessed clarity you have when you look at the world and you aren’t mad anymore because none of it is worth you giving it the attention to actually be mad but you are completely out of fucks to give? That’s what it’s like inside Lisa’s head. The world, as I said here (links to a fantastic Twitter thread), has used up all the second chances with her a long time ago.
