Character 7-2: Starting Point / Backstory

Elyk
Here are the words for our next character:

Lobster
Bitch
Maid

Using these three words as a prompt, come up with a backstory fitting for a Killing Game character. What are they like? Where are they from? What kind of things do they do? What experiences have they had?

If you do not wish to contribute a full backstory you can just give pieces and we can collectively build up the character together.

Fun With Despair
A maid who has been employed by numerous billionaires and public figures as both a housekeeper and bodyguard. Trained in the lobster style of martial arts, she dual-wields tongs as her weapon of choice. Using them like pinchers, her fighting style involves keeping opponents at a distance and honestly just being generally annoying. Her grip is solid iron though, and once she has her target in her grasp, she can easily break their arms (or whichever unfortunate part gets caught) like twigs.

Until recently, she has never had an employer longer than a year though despite her skills, due to her awful disposition and problem with authority. Much like her cooking-utensil claws, she tends to verbally snap at anyone who so much as looks at her the wrong way. Especially other women, who she tends to not get along with.

GBA
Covert assassin who doubles as an expert maid for various rich and powerful figures in the business, always impressing them with her signature dish of lobster thermidor. She is not employed to have emotions, and assassinates her employers targets with cold and merciless swiftness, her weapon of choice being a potent poison she develops known as the "blue lobster's blood". As she is outwardly very cold and distant due to her constant suppression of emotions, many unassuming bureaucrats and other figures attending the parties of her employer would often describe her with one word: "bitch". One in particular described her as "cold-blooded, with a biting attitude as sharp and gripping as the tightest lobster's claw."

The Kindest Weapon
A household cleaning maid by day for upper-middle class families in rural Maine, waitress at a lobster restaurant during tourist season. She is hardworking and kind, but acts rude due to constantly being tired from overwork. Don't call her a bitch, please. She's just had enough of people's nonsense and is going to snap.

Elyk
Originally a resident of rural Maine, this character had a humble beginning. She entered the workforce as a household cleaning maid for upper-middle class families and as a waitress at a local lobster restaurant. The latter of the two was exceptionally busy during the summer tourist season.

She is very hardworking and can be kind too if you earn her respect. However, her no nonsense personality often gets in the way. She is very quick to butt heads with customers and employees. It wasn't long before her short temper lead her to lose her waitress job, leaving her with only maid work. Customers frequently described her as a bitch. Thankfully her home cleaning job required little contact with clients. She worked while they were out of the house and they always returned to an impressively tidy living space.

As her talents as a maid grew, so did the prominence of her clients. In just a few short years she was cleaning the homes of wealthy public figures. One of such figures was the owner of a world renowned lobster fishing company. He hired her to provide cooking, cleaning, and daycare service for his children. The kids were not fond of her bitchy attitude and complained to their father.

After three strikes she found herself still employed, but relocated to the owner's largest lobster fishing vessel to teach her some discipline. There she picked up the lobster style of martial arts. Self taught and self designed, this style involves dual-wielding tongs like pincers. She fights at a distance using her quick footwork to harass her opponents. With the tongs she has a vise-like grip, and she can easily break the bones of anyone unfortunate enough to get caught.

Once she had returned from the sea she found even more success in her work. The extreme training improved her temper, meaning she could act more professionally before snapping. Her combat expertise qualified her for work as a bodyguard as well. Her signature dish is the lobster thermidor. She now is employed to various billionaires and public figures. Even with her improved demeanor though she struggles to stay with the same family for more than a year.
