Variations in BioShock

The Splicer model Lady Smith is one of the upper-class matrons of Rapture, but is also a caricature of the stereotypical rich WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant): elitist, prejudiced, shallow. She can often be heard threatening to "send the boy out to give you (the player) a good thrashing," or making bigoted remarks. 

In BioShock 2, Lady Smith has become even more deformed, with large tumors and a growth on her foot resembling a high heel. Her face seems to have further deteriorated. Her nose is missing, she has lost some of her hair and her cheeks are asymmetrical; this is appears to be caused by her splicing while wearing a mask, forcing the very flesh of her face to conform to the shape of the mask. She often speaks about her past life, revealing that she raised at least three children. She seems not aware of her situation, believing herself to have been evicted from her home and living on the streets. However, when aggressive, dying, or while hypnotized, she returns to her old delusions of grandeur. At times, she appears to think her enemies are there to evict her from her current property, deprive her of her last few possessions, or even threaten her children.

Lady Smith wears a simple, versatile outfit suited to a variety of situations. It consists of a knee-length, four-buttoned heavy wool princess coat, pair of strappy, peep-toe heels, fur wrap, and pair of large diamond-shaped earrings. Lady Smith has survived the fallout of both Splicing and the Civil War, but not without some noticeable damage. The left side of her face is scarred, her eye is swollen, and there's a bandage right above it. She has a thin scar on the lower part of her right cheek that runs to her chin. Her stockings are ragged, her right thigh is bandaged, her coat is soiled, it has a tear above her right knee cap, and a hole at her left sleeve's elbow. She wears her hair pinned up in tight victory rolls. Lady Smith can wear a pillbox-style cocktail hat with a fabric flower and veil or a nurse's cap as accessories.

Behind the Scenes

• The photograph modified for the original Lady Smith concept art is based on the mugshot of Tanya Williams, a woman working at the Melody Lane club in San Francisco, arrested in 1942 for "indecent entertainment." The same photograph for Williams was also modified for Diane McClintock's audio diary portrait.
• The name "Lady Smith" is most likely taken from the Smith & Wesson revolver Lady Smith".
