Lisa Hobbs, aged 14, is a sickly young girl who was born with an illness that slowly eats away at her ability to move. 

She knows a little about her mother's past, but Natalia tries to keep it hidden to prevent Lisa from suffering. Lisa knows nothing of her father or how she was conceived, or of her grandparents who disowned Natalia not long after she became a delinquent. For Lisa's whole life, it's been just her mother and her. Lisa used to be able to walk and run as a child, but as she grew older and the illness grew stronger, she slowly lost the ability to move her legs, resulting in her being in a wheelchair. Her teen years have only made her illness worse, as her death slowly creeps closer. Lisa knows she doesn't have much longer left, and has accepted her death already, but she worries about her mother. Natalia has been in denial over Lisa's illness for some time, refusing to acknowledge that it is close to claiming her daughter's life. Lisa worries what will become of her mother once she passes on, and remains strong for her sake. But the one thing Lisa truly wants is to see her mother's true emotions. Not once has Lisa seen her mother cry, always being shown the mask Natalia wears to protect herself. Before she finally does leave this world, Lisa wants to see her mother's true emotions, so she knows she truly will be missed when she leaves.
