Lisa Wilbourn

Lisa Wilbourn (born Sarah Livsey), also known as Tattletale, is a member of the Undersiders.

Personality
Lisa can be perceived as being annoyingly knowledgeable and arrogant by those around her. She values her intelligence and perceives any threat to that as a challenge. She is reticent to admit she doesn't know something. She draws a large amount of entertainment from "messing" with people and being unnecessarily abrasive. Additionally, it serves as a method to reveal more information about the target. In private, with people she cares about, she is a more mild person, which is related to her guilt over her brother's suicide. This is also what led her to reaching out to Taylor when initially meeting her.

She describes her role in the Undersiders as "Ops" (although she does a lot of intelligence work as well). She goes in the field rather than simply acting as mission control because, first, Bitch insisted that everyone fight when she originally joined the team, and second, first-hand observation enhances what she can do with her power.

Initially, Lisa struggles with intimate relationships, since her power supplies turn-offs so fast that any possible attraction can be dismantled in five minutes. Later, she views herself as aromantic and asexual, and accepts that it is not a shard influence.

She hated being alone, making sure she was around people even when she was homeless.

After seeing Lisa use her power to break someone, Taylor noted that she could have been a cult leader that would make Heartbreaker look amateurish.

Brian
Lisa and Brian had a recurring argument over the fact that he lived separately from the team, leaving him nowhere to go when he was injured. Given that she can sometimes infer incorrect information with her power, Brian also took to calling her a 'dumbass' on occasion.

Taylor
Lisa was aware that Taylor was a hero even before she met her, but pushed to recruit her regardless. Taylor reminded her of the brother she failed to save.

Aiden
After the events of original story, Lisa takes Aiden under her personal patronage. She is quite protective about him.

Appearance
Lisa is noted as having a particular contrast between her costumed persona and her civilian persona, with a number of details accumulating to throw people off.

Lisa
In civilian guise, Lisa is described as a seventeen year-old girl with dark blonde hair, mildly above average in appearance, with vulpine facial features, freckles on the bridge of her nose, and "bottle-glass green" eyes. She favors a more subdued or traditional style of dress, and makes a habit of having her hair tied back, knotted or hidden in a bun.

Tattletale
As Tattletale, she wears a skintight black-and-lavender outfit. The bodysuit is primarily lavender, with black lines; one horizontal stripe across the upper chest, a vertical stripe slashing down from that, another horizontal line jutting out from halfway down that vertical one, followed by another vertical line piercing that horizontal line. The whole forms a large, stylised "Tt", although it's in such broad strokes that many miss it. Other black lines were present on her arms and legs. There is a barely-visible emblem of a stylized eye on her chest, dark gray on black.

She also wears a black domino mask that hides her freckles and disguises the lines of her face and usually wears her hair down in costume.

Sports a "utility belt" diagonally across her hips with a small gun in one of the larger pouches. Later she gets a hold of a PRT laser pistol.

After being attacked by Jack Slash she had major scarring ala a Glasgow Grin, severing facial muscles and damaging salivary glands. However, after Grue went through a second trigger event he used power copying to use Othala's ability to heal his teammates from the effects of Bonesaw's poisons. This also dealt with Tattletale's scar, she was left with much fainter scars and no damage to the interior of her mouth.

At some later point, she adopted a version of her costume that used the same design but with inverted colours; primarily black with royal purple lines and insignia.

Abilities and Powers
Lisa is best described as a short ranged clairvoyant, or better yet as a pericog  , having the ability to extrapolate an incredible wealth of inference from the smallest trace of data. She needs to have some information about the target to begin with, and her enhanced intuition fills in the gaps in her knowledge, allowing her to crack computer passwords, profile and cold read people around her, and make predictions about the most likely outcome of a given situation, among other things. She's very accurate, although not infallible. She has to consciously direct her power for what she focuses on, refocusing and starting again if she gets useless information. In the few instances where she makes mistakes, she messes up pretty big. She can become mentally overloaded if she tries to take in and analyze too much information all at once. Further overuse of her power leads to severe migraines, a common issue for many thinkers.

It should be noted that although Lisa's ability allows her to extrapolate information, she finds extrapolating information about people very difficult. At one point she tells Skitter: "Reading people with my power is hard, reading into their motivations or emotions is harder" although she seems to make up for this limitation eventually. Still her passenger drives her to try and reveal secrets. Her power developed over the course of the story but she continued to struggle with headaches. Following periods of intense headaches she was unable to use her powers.

Like Taylor she has inexplicable finesse with a gun. At a much later point she was even able to accurately read lips.

According to Glaistig Uaine Lisa hosts the "negotiator" shard.

Equipment
Lisa keeps files and charts on many threats. Her computer files are kept in quadruple variations with multiple inaccuracies between them, Her inherent power allows her to intuit the correct information from it.

Background
Near the time that Sarah started high school, she noticed her older brother only spent time with her because it was his duty. She stopped accepting his attempts and they drifted apart. She began to resent him for acting like a brother than not being a real brother, being the popular kid, and being the favorite child.

Eventually, Sarah started noticing something going on with Reggie. He got increasingly distant until he committed suicide. She mentioned that she had noticed something going on to her parents and they started blaming her for his death. To Sarah, it seemed like she was in a pressure cooker and that everyone knew that she had known something and hadn’t spoken up. She triggered in her sleep, dreaming about it, about a year and a half before the start of Worm.

Her father caught on and started to use her power for the family's benefit. It became too much for Sarah and, eventually, she stole some of their money, ran away from home, and changed her name to "Lisa Wilbourn".

Later, Lisa traveled to Brockton Bay. She used her power to drain the accounts of several rich men while making sure she covered her tracks. She then went to a clothes store and inspected some clothing. She sent an employee running after telling her that her boyfriend could be cheating on her. She was then apprehended by a Boardwalk "Enforcer" who took her to a nearby alley where Coil called her and said that he would like to "buy" her services.

Lisa met with Grue, Bitch, and Regent at the Train-yards. She was told to get a costume by Grue after revealing she didn't have one before offering to serve as their contact. Bitch refused and told her that she would have to 'get her hands dirty' if she wanted an equal share. She agreed.

Story Start
Lisa arrived with the other Undersiders and got off Bitch's dog. When Grue asked what happened to Lung, she told him what insects Skitter had bit Lung and said that he wouldn't feel so good tomorrow. She then told them that Skitter was shy before alerting her teammates to the fact that someone was coming. She got back onto one of Bitch's dogs, asked Skitter her name, and then told her that she should get out of there before they left.

Later, a 'Tt' left a message in the Connections section of the PHO message board for Skitter saying that she owed her a favor and would like to meet. When Skitter replied back, asking for proof of her identity, Lisa sent a reply a few minutes later and offered to meet with her.

Lisa later went with Brian and Alec to meet Skitter. She made a bet with Alec on if Skitter would come in costume or not and won. Then, after Brian introduced himself, she did so as well before giving Skitter a lunchbox containing two thousand dollars. She said that Skitter could take it as a gift for saving them or the first installment in the monthly allowance as a member of the Undersiders. She then told Skitter what she had done to Lung before Brian stopped her.

Once Skitter agreed to join the Undersiders, Lisa asked Brian what they were going to do. She suggested that they go to their place and, if Rachel was there, fill her in. She asked Skitter if she wanted to change in a normal alley before descending the fire escape. After Skitter came down and introduced herself as Taylor, Lisa pulled her into a one-armed hug before they left.

When Taylor expressed that she was jealous of their place, she told her that it was her space too and then showed her the rooms. She suggested cleaning out the storage closet and turning it into a room for Taylor and groused about how Brian had ruined their nine hundred dollar couch by bleeding all over it. When Brian joked about her 'knowing everything', she said that she did and told Taylor about her power.

Post-Leviathan
Like all the Undersiders, Lisa took over a territory, and helped plot against Coil. She setup her territory in a shelter. Essentially hidden in plain sight, this allowed for better information gathering and a place for her mercenaries to operate.

Tattletale assisted Skitter in locating a runaway that was part of the merchants.

Post-Echidna
With the removal of Coil she was effectively the power behind the throne that Skitter sat on. With the abdication of Skitter to join the Protectorate she would take her orders from Grue at least nominally.

Sent a letter to her former boss and current friend while they were in prison.

Survived being targeted by the Simurgh.

Post-Timeskip
Took care of Brockton bay. Welcomed Weaver when she came to visit.

Provided ops support when fighting the The Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand.

She realized the source of superpowers just before the End of the World.

Gold Morning
At the meeting about the event she fills in the rest of the gathered parahuman leaders about what they faced.

She and her team were instrumental in the ending if the event, though not in the way that other parahumans were instrumental.

Early Ward
In the two years since Gold Morning Tattletale secured her position as a power player. She even lent favors to certain groups to gauge their potential. She convinced The Wardens to leave 'Hollow' Point alone when the villains moved in.

When the restored Victoria Dallon came to 'Hollow' Point for a visit, the villains there contacted Tattletale, who passed on a note saying 'Turn around and fly home, Glory Hole'.

Later on, she met with her in New Brockton. Tattletale tried to encourage Vicky not interfere with 'Hollow' Point. As it meant she would be tapped as a resource. When Glory Girl asked if she regretted her role in Amy Dallon's fall from grace Tattletale tried to avoid the question. Later Tattletale and the Undersiders came to Hollow Point to discussed a proposed offensive option against the Fallen, she discovered the surveillance Victorias team had and told them to leave while they could since she was about to share their location with her clients.

She was later part of this concentrated attack on the Fallen during the Mathers Compound Assault. Strangely she seemed to have ducked out during the attack, likely because of Looksee's attentions.

Post-Goddess' Takeover
Lisa and the Undersiders went on the run as they were being targeted by March.

Lisa assisted Breakthrough in tracking down Cradle. Unfortunately, she had her body dismembered by him and her head was taken as a hostage.

She was rescued from Earth N.

Post-Time Bubble Pop
Victoria went to Lisa for help when she discovered an incriminating diary that had been written in her name. The two went on a detective mission, and ultimately figured out that Teacher was behind it.

She was present during the assembly of the second team aiming for Teacher's stronghold. Through Kenzie, she got a look at all the raw data Teacher had been collecting on everyone. Lisa consoled Kenzie immediately after Swansong's death.

Post-Attack on Teacher
Tattletale agreed to Antares's deal with Deathchester. She gets accidentally pulled into the dream room of Rain's Cluster together with Breakthrough. She was able to snipe the initial devices of tinker-guardian, successfully bluffed it to reach Cradle, and took some knife-wounds from him to protect her wards.

Seeks out The Negotiator in Shardspace. Agrees to cooperate with The Wardens after the incident and is left in supervision of Lookout.

She was overseeing the second Shin crisis alongside the Wardens and helped to control the situation.

The Ice Breaks
Lisa was alongside The Undersiders and Breakthrough during the oversight duty of Titan Oberon and Eve. During the battle of titans she stayed with the rear group and made some guesses about the inevitability and fatality of this kind of situations. She stayed at the Wardens' camp for the remainder of the battle. Once the majority of capes had withdrawn from the fight she insisted on another, last push to cover for Eve's retreat, saying that it will be a "draw" option, that will minimize the losses.

Tattletale continued to assist the Wardens during the continuation of the crisis.

Lisa directed Breakthrough to the Contessa's seat of power inside the Shardrealm.

Faced with Lookout's mental breakdown Tattletale decided to put Kenzie to sleep with her medication.

Tattletale stayed in the Wardens' HQ and skipped the initial engagement with The Simurgh together with the majority of Undersiders. However, they were dragged into the battle after Simurgh captured The Mathers Giant and went after Dinah Alcott.

After Simurgh was driven out of the Wardens' Complex, Tattletale confronted Victoria Dallon about her mass murder plan. She also brought in Semiramis to remove Victoria's recent wounds.

Lisa had not infected herself with the parahuman plague.

She welcomed Victoria back at the Wardens' Complex.

Ward Epilogue
Tattletale continued working with The Wardens' in an attempt to differentiate herself from more troublesome villains.
