Somebody's been in a toon mood again! In particular; I've been thinking about fleshing out the company and world around Ms. Inkwell - so to that end, I was thinkin' of another employee of Big Business Inc! In this case - the head of the legal department, and a personal acquaintence of Ms. Inkwell - Ms. Leading.
Ms. Leading often introduces herself with a business card - and this is perhaps the most adequate way of doing so. Set beneath the intricately-embossed name of "Ms. Monica Leading" is a litany of terms any reputable legal practitioner would find appalling; but Ms. Leading embraces wholeheartedly as part of her nature. "Shyster, Charlatan, Pettifogger, Forger, Cheat," - and buttoning this is the simple title of "Attorney at Law." Ms. Leading is the very image of an unscrupulous lawyer. Formerly of Leading & Associates, with said associates being false identities of she herself, she was scouted by Ms. Inkwell as a prospective defense attorney for Big Business Inc; and her particular skillset has elevated her to the very head of BBI's legal department. Ms. Leading isn't simply willing to go against conventional practices of law; rather, she's eager to do so - and doing so is an instrumental part in any victory she achieves in the courtroom. She's a skilled and instinctive liar, and is willing to do anything to obscure the truth of a situation as a means of either winning a given case or simply disrupting a case in such a capacity that it gets thrown out, and her client gets to walk away scot-free. Lies are in her nature - and it's in such deception that her power lies. Through passive lying, actively-targeted attempts at character assassination, and forged evidence - she's able to alter others' minds and bodies for her purposes.
In smaller-scale cases, she manipulates perceptions of events with vivid mental imagery; displaying to parties such as a jury or judge what she wishes them to see. This is emboldened by her more profound power - the ability to corrupt and twist others to her liking. Her attempts to devalue, degrade, or twist a person's image through her manipulation has tangible effects - often targeted toward plaintiffs as a means of swaying the jury away from their side and toward her defendants, or rendering prosecutors unable to make a case against her. To this end, she turns harmless victims into thuggish brutes, skilled and driven lawyers into meek simpletons - and when courting business outside of BBI, Ms. Leading isn't above twisting a prospective client in her web of lies so as to make them as sleazy and eager to bend the legal system to their desires as she is.
