General

Lynnette Li is a teacher at Hoover High School in charge of class 4 and some English classes. She's noted to be a severe and strict teacher who's unpopular with students and hostile even toward outsiders. She was noted to be especially cold toward fellow teacher Robert Whitaker, with some students speculating this workplace bullying contributed to his suicide.

Lynnette began teaching at Hoover High School as an intern teacher when Robert Whitaker was in 12th grade. At the time, she cared deeply for students that had been left behind by family, other teachers, and the system in general, and she gravitated toward Robert for that reason. Later, she had to treat him more coldly as there had been ill-natured rumors about the nature of her visits to his home. Though such speculation persists, Lynnette claims to be happily engaged and not interested in involvement with a coworker.

Story

In reality, after a drunken night in which she'd confessed to having feelings for Robert, Lynnette lied about being engaged in an effort to break off the budding relationship in a way that wouldn't hurt Robert, since any relationship that began while one was a student and the other was a teacher would destroy both their careers. Lynnette's insistence that she was happy with her false engagement and didn't want anything in her life to change, together with another student's blackmail, would eventually lead to Robert Whitaker's suicide. Upon reading Robert's true feelings for her in a discarded attempt at a love confession, she realized she might have lost her chance to be happy and regretted her choices.
