Brief Summary: A one-woman kaleidoscope of qualities not normally found in one person. For example, she's a qualified scientist yet accommodates many beliefs lying outside scientific orthodoxy, particularly with regards to healing and healthcare, her primary field of interest. She can be mystical or rational, passionate and spirited or calm and analytical... in fact, she can be anything she wants to be! Not least, she knows how to be great fun to be with, and has one of the most infectiously sweet laughs I've ever heard. One of my most fascinating and beguiling friends.

Best Masseuse (US)
Best Source Of Advice Re Diet, Health, Nutrition
Best Designer of Home-made Birthday Cards etc.
Most Creative Dress Sense
Best Singer Of Excerpts From Musicals (esp. Fiddler On The Roof)

Other Notable Achievements & Honours: Lupin has a strong interest in diet, health, nutrition and fitness, and is the best walking advert for her expertise that she could possibly be. She easily passes for about ten years younger than she really is, without even trying, and if she wants to she can pass for up to 15-16 years younger. She also has the most creative and brilliant dress sense of any woman I know. Give Lupin 10 bucks to spend at a thrift store, and she can make herself look better than an A-list actress on Oscars night.

Best Party Trick: Definitely her one-woman recital of Fiddler On The Roof. Better than the original.

Known Weaknesses: Sometimes prone to losing keys.

Catchphrase: "Have you seen my keys?".
