Lia Lin-Shan

Lia Lin-Shan (リア・リンシャン, Ria Rinshan) works for the Martillo Family as a waitress at The Alveare. She makes a brief cameo in the anime when she greets Isaac and Miria, and later in episode 14 playing dominoes with Firo Prochainezo, Isaac and Miria, Ennis, Maiza Avaro, and others. She is the sister of Fang Lin-Shan.

Appearance
Lia is a women of half Chinese and half British descent who dresses in a red cheongsam with gold trim. She has black hair tied in two buns at each side of her head. She is slim and described as physically attractive.

Personality
Lia is a little child-like in her gestures and mannerisms. She's not above teasing Edith in a joking manner, but she is clearly kind and readily willing to help when her friend is in need.

Plot
In 1930: The Rolling Bootlegs, she and Seina prepared food for the celebration following Firo Prochainezo's promotion. She attended to the patrons upstairs in the speakeasy while the Martillo executives partied downstairs.

In 1932: Drugs and the Dominos, Lia plays an important role when she hides the black leather case containing drugs distributed by the Runorata family for Roy Maddock and Edith (on Edith's request). She gives the case to her younger brother for safe-keeping, since the door to her room does not have a lock.

Trivia

 * Lia is not totally fluent in English, and she speaks with a heavy accent.
 * Her father was British, and her mother Chinese.
 * Like her brother, Lia is an extremely good cook, and her cooking along with Seina's is the reason many of the Alveare's customers become regulars.
 * Lia lives in a room on the first floor of a small apartment block in Little Italy. Her room does not have a lock.
 * It is not confirmed whether or not Lia drank the Cure-All Elixir at the party in 1930. While she was present when Szilard invaded the Alveare, it is possible that she escaped with the patrons before Szilard opened fire (and thus we have no way of knowing if she was gunned down). It was never stated outright that she drank the elixir at any point. While there is a waitress from whom Firo orders food from at the Alveare in 2002, the narrative doesn't specify if the woman is Lia or not.
