Description
Ursula Leichenberg is a recent college graduate who moved to Los Santos in early 2021 to be a writer. As a first attempt, she became a founding member and writer for the news organization LSBN, under Ron Otterman. She also created a blog, Brimstone and Bloodshed: Tales of Los Santos, which hosts short stories about the residents of Los Santos, often skewing toward a darker, realistic viewpoint. The blog also shows some news stories from her former work at LSBN.
She is a self-professed wrestling fan, having a lot of knowledge of the career of Mick Jhonson. Ursula has a strong network of friends and acquaintances around Los Santos, but is partial to several, including the 4EQ crew, who work underground as The Stable.
Ursula is most noted for her dry, deadpan delivery of everything she says, often citing that she has a condition called "resting sarcastic voice." She has extremely low self esteem, low self-confidence, and is extremely blunt and honest with everyone around her.
Major Occupations
LSBN
Under the guidance of Ron Otterman, Ursula, Dillon Dubbs, Louie Panlin, and Felix Volk formed LSBN officially while standing in the City Vault. As the core members of the organization, each headed up their focused area, with Ursula acting as the Head Writer/Editor for LSBN properties. Ursula's reports for LSBN were often big breaking stories on court cases, big events, or editorials on things she has personal issues with, such as attacks on the media and police brutality. Ursula was often seen in the company of her fellow news people when not training others how to do the news. She tended to keep a lot of criminal contacts while working at LSBN, even aiding many of them with helpful advice and alerts to major crimes happening around the city. She never snitched except when media lives were threatened... or if she was drunk/high. When Ron took vacation, he left Ursula in charge, who panicked and delegated a lot of work to Felix Volk. Ursula was fired from LSBN on August 30, 2021, after an attempt to become CEO for reasons that vary, depending on who is telling the story. While she was working at LSBN, Ursula owned a news van with the license plate OTTERVAN (an homage and inside joke with Ron).
Deputy Mayor
Learning of her firing from LSBN, Abdul ALRahim offered Ursula a Deputy Mayor position under his leadership. She accepted the offer on September 5, 2021. Since then, Ursula has worked in many sessions and meetings with the mayor and the other deputy majors, performing such tasks as business license investigations, understanding tax disputes, and offering support for other legal issues for Los Santos residents.
Sea Witch Publishing
In late September 2021, Ursula began an independent startup company called Sea Witch Publishing. She intends to use this company as an engine to publish and sell her stories written on the Brimstone and Bloodshed website. The first such book published in paper form was The Infinity Killer, which was Ursula's earliest work after arriving in Los Santos and is a revisiting of her story of executed serial killer Finn Harlow.
Ursula's second self-published book was Assorted Tales, a compilation work consisting of several other stories selected from her repertoire, including The Capricious Woman, The Racer, The Delusional Man, and The Ginger Stranger.
Her third book published under the Brimstone and Bloodshed banner is Darkwoods, Part One, an anthology of the past deeds of Kenneth Jesperson (aka Mr. Smiley) in Los Santos. Ursula collected a lot of information on the subject by spending long periods of time with him, observing and interviewing.
Thrive Wellness Center
In December 2021, Ursula created another startup company called Thrive, a private therapy firm operating out of Pixie Plum's office. The mission for this company is to bring therapy to the masses of Los Santos, something which Ursula has wanted to do for a long time.
Burger Shot
In the summer of 2021, the Ursula system was hired at Burger Shot, originally while Eris was in control of the body. She has worked regularly at the establishment ever since, quickly climbing the ranks to shift manager and then to hiring manager under Shelly Smith. Initially, Eris was the sole alter working at Burger Shot because it was a "fun" job which matched Eris's personality, and Ursula despised the work. Gradually, though, Ursula warmed up to the job as she also began to see the Burger Shot team as an enjoyable group and that her work there was appreciated.
Maldini's Pizzeria
In the early months of 2022, Ursula was hired at Maldini's Pizzeria in the wake of a shakeup at Burger Shot which at its height shut down the entire franchise, leaving Ursula looking for a new source of regular income.
Jeweled Dragon
Ursula was hired to help procure rings and necklaces for the Jeweled Dragon. When Mr. K announced the opening day, she saw that he would need preparations for things like employee salaries, registering items, how to handle repairs, and more business aspects. She helped him organize the shop and get it ready. In return, he named her CEO, putting his trust in her to hire resources, train them, and keep the store going. In the opening week, the Jeweled Dragon earned more than $8 million.
