Career

Born in Mexico City, Lawless moved to the United States with her family at a young age and was later naturalized as a U.S. citizen. She began hormone therapy and trans-focused performance work before entering adult film, debuting around 2014. She won Best Hardcore Performance at the 2015 Transgender Erotica Awards and was nominated at the same ceremony for Ms. Unique, followed by AVN nominations for Best Transsexual Sex Scene in 2016, 2017 and 2019 and for Transsexual Artist of the Year in 2017; she was also nominated in the same period at the Transgender Erotica Awards and XBIZ Awards.

Signature: Repeat AVN Best Transsexual Sex Scene nominee across three separate ceremony years (2016, 2017, 2019), anchored by an outright Transgender Erotica Awards win in 2015.
