Noire

At some point Fonda dies of lead poisoning that she gets from those colorful makeups, leaving Luci all alone. Lucilia escapes from the circus and moves to live on her own, gets an edgy haircut and falls into using drugs. Losing the direction of her life has lead her to act all tough and dangerous.

Oh god, so many of my characters are smokers (especially females??). Don't smoke people, it's only cool in fiction.
