ELIZABETH RHOSLYN VATICAN
Elizabeth Rhoslyn Vatican | Sixteen | Straight | Seer of pain/distress | High School Student | Willa Holland[/color][/font]
And I don't want the world to see me[/color][/font]
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.[/color][/font][/center]
[Determination] Eliza will fight till it kills her in order to do what she feels is right. She will do anything to save someone including put herself in grave danger. It doesn’t matter to her what might happen to her well being. Once she sets her mind to something she will follow that drive to the end.
[Insight] Eliza is gifted, well more rather cursed, with the ability to sense the pain and distress of people near her and feels the exact same pain that they are feeling as if it is happening to her. Because of this she will do anything she can to help stop their pain.
[Smarts] Always good in school and eager to learn proved to be a big help to Eliza. She is retains information well and picks up on things rather quickly, she absolutely loves to learn and though she doesn't look it she is a brainy girl. She knows Romanian, English, French, German, Spanish and Latin.
[Genuine] Once you befriend Eliza you will pretty much guarantee a forever friend. Eliza is never fake and never pretends to be anyone that she isn't unless it involves protecting her secrets. She is one of the most absolute people you will ever meet.
[Considerate] There aren't many things that Eliza will do without considering the well being of others before hand. She cares deeply about the well being of others and will do her best to help them out.
WEAKNESSES
[Human] Eliza is only human despite being a practicing witch as well. She can be killed in any way that a normal human can be killed as of right now. In the future it is possible that it will become harder to kill her by normal means.
[Her Past] There are many things in her past that she selects not to talk about. These are memories that still haunt her and affect her daily life. But it isn't like she is talking so most people won't even know.
[Health] Eliza is not exactly the picture of health. Due to some past traumas and other issues in her life she is rather thin and some classify her as anorexic. She also suffers from other medical issues.
[Determination] Although it is a strength it is also a weakness. Eliza is an extremely determined and strong willed woman and will not take no for an answer. If she has a plan and no one else will follow then she will go alone. It doesn't always result in the best results but she will try no matter what.
[Children] Eliza has a soft spot for children and if a situation involves them she is known to make rash decisions and not think things through. She will risk her safety to save the life of a child.

When everything's made to be broken
[/i][/color][/font]I just want you to know who I am.[/color][/font][/center]
Coming from Romanian descent gave Eliza the olive/tan skin tone that she adorns through all seasons. Her eyes range from a grey blue to a very vibrant icey light blue depending on the way the light hits them and her mood. Her hair falls halfway down her back in thick golden brunette locks. She can generally be seen wearing jeans and a plain old t-shirt but she also enjoys summer dresses and occasionally will dress up. She sports her own style and is sometimes mistaken for one of the popular girls just because she knows how to mix and match and is rarely seen wearing the same outfit twice. Partially due to genetics and partially due to her strict diet her build is slim and slender. Some see her as beautiful but that is to be expected as Romanian women are known for their beauty, but she does not see herself as so. The only piercings she has are one in each ear. She has one tattoo on her left wrist of a rose.
PERSONALITY
Complexity is only one word to describe the person that Eliza has grown into. As a young child she was always caring and devoted and hard working which did not leave her in her growth but she did develop into someone much more. On one side of her she is one of the nicest and sweetest people you will ever meet. Willing to drop everything to help someone out and make sure that the people around her are well taken care of. Completely devoted to those that earn her trust and an unfallable friend until the end. Even though she is only a teenager she is more mature and more levelheaded than many of her same age group.
It is not easy to earn her trust as she is a fairly hesitant of trusting just anyone and does not like to give herself to others. Once she earns a friend and believes in their motives then she will stick by them for as long as they stay true to themselves. She may be an infallible friend but that does not mean that friendship clouds her judgement. If she sees someone going astray she will do her best to right their path and if that fails then she will disengage herself from the realtionship and move on. Years of hardening her personality against anyone that might hurt her has made her into a strong person. The walls that she builds up against people are incredibly hard to tear down and it is not often that she is willing to let someone in to stay. Whether it is a fear of being hurt or a strategy of staying safe depends on your point of view.
On the other hand if Eliza is ever wronged by someone then her wrath can be terrible. If your hurt her then you will probably escape the worst of her attack. But if you hurt someone that she loves then she will not stop until she has exacted revenge on you. If you ever lose her trust then it is impossible to get it back and she will shut you out completely without so much as a second chance. Whereas most people believe that everyone deserves a second chance, Eliza believes that everyone deserves one chance and once they breech that then they deserve nothing. Some see her as too hard and at times even cruel but that is just who she is. She isn't too concerned with whether or not people like her, she is who she is and nothing can change that. Despite her tough exterior she is shy and tends to keep to herself and stay out of trouble. She likes to be a peacemaker but will play the role of judge if she feels she must.
LIKES
[Peace] Because when there is peace around her she is also allowed to have peace. So long as people are not in pain she is able to sleep and eat and function like a normal human being, which she fully and truly enjoys.
[Books] Reading is an escape for her and it gives her the opportunity to expedite herself into another life other than her own. When you are as outcast as she is being able to escape is a valued gift.
[Swimming] She is avid about swimming and will do it any chance she gets. Of course she avoids joining the swim team even though she would help improve their odds of victory because she doesn't work well on a team. But still in her free time she does spend a lot of time at the pool.
[Children] Because they are innocent and curious. She enjoys watching them learn and enjoy the world around them. So many people forget how to really live as they grow older but children know exactly what to do.
[School] It is one of the only things she really understands. School work that is, she hates the rest of school except that work. Homework is easy because it all has a correct and incorrect answer meaning it is black and white, not gray area like most other things.
DISLIKES
[Heights] She doesn't know why but ever since she was young the idea of being high above the ground made her feel uneasy and when forced into situations involving heights she tended to get dizzy and quesy.
[Being Indoors] Because it makes her feel like she is stuck and confined. She doesn't like being forced to do anything especially if it invovles being torn away from that which makes sense to her.
[Populars] People that think they can do whatever they want because no one should be able to just walk around and take as they please. It goes back to her childhood and being taught that something is not earned with nothing.
[Hurting Others] The idea of causing hurt but when it is necessary she will do so. It is not her wish to bring pain to anyone but she also will not just stand by and watch destruction.
[Spiders] Who knows what it is but those nasty eight legged creatures give her the willies.

When everything feels like the movies
[/i][/color][/font]Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.[/color][/font][/center]
Lilith and James Vatican were married at a young age and started havin a family soon after. Their first child was born only one year after they were married and they named him Henry. A year after Henry came Genevieve. The couple stopped having children for a few years after this and focused on their life as it was. Five years later they had unplanned twins whom they named Elizabeth and Esmeralda, identical twin girls. The family was happy despite the two unplanned children the family was making do and was living a good life. But things don't ever stay good forever.
That isn't to say that Elizabeth lived a bad childhood. Quite the opposite she lived a very good childhood up until a certain point at least. She was raised as any normal child, excelled at school and showed a talent for swimming and a way with animals. She was generally shy throughout her life but was never one to cause trouble like her older sister. Her twin was as alike to her as anything in the world. Both girls spent a lot of time together growing up and were inseperatable. The only difference between then two of them was that odd things seemed to happen to Eliza when people that were near to her got hurt, while Esme was normal. She usually kept this as hidden as she could and so no one thought it odd.
Whenever her twin would get hurt Eliza would feel the same pain, but it wasn’t limited to her twin it was any part of her family and even people in town sometimes. As she got older the intensity of the issue heightened and it got to the point where she would scream in pain and agony and agony and become violently ill. She hid this as much as she could but people in her family were starting to notice despite her best efforts. Eliza knew that despite her close knit and understanding family they would not understand what she was going through, what she had discovered. During this time her sister and her started to drift apart because of all the secrets.
When Elizabeth and her sister turned fifteen, Elizabeth experienced the worst pain she had ever had in her life. With that pain came an image, am image of pain, agony and death. She saw her sister die, a man had stabbed her right through the stomach and that was the last day that Eliza ever saw her sister, Esmeralda Vatican alive. After this her parents were terrified by the pain she was seemingly in and she was sent away to a hospital but the doctors there could find nothing wrong and so she was sent to a mental hospital where she remained for one year before she escaped. During her time in the hospital the doctors ran many tests and did numerous experiments to discover what had happened to Eliza. They found out nothing.
The time spent in the hospital was the worst in her life. They treated her like a common lab rat and finally she broke free and ran for her life. But she knew nothing of where she was when she escaped because the hospital she had been sent to was in California. But Eliza did discover that every time she someone near her is in pain she will feel their exact but also vomits horribly and experiences excruciating headaches even after the person is saved. This is why she is so skinny along with the fact that she has been on the run with little to eat for well on a month now and that since her sister died she has been in a deep depression unwilling to talk or eat or do much of anything really. After many weeks of running she heard talk of crazy occurrences in Sunnydale, California and so she made her way there and that is where she is now.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT I hope that Eliza can become a help to the slayer(s) and offer them a connection with other people that are suffering or in pain that need help. Maybe someone could take her in? She is lacking a family and friends right now. [/SIZE]

Eight Years | None | Witch/Seer
From a different site but my style is usually the same. Hope this works :]
The store was pretty empty, a few people here and there with their adorable little kids. Couples with toddlers, pregnant women with their men and by themselves. It was saddening for someone like Eliza that wanted nothing more in the world than to live her own life and have a family that loved her in return. It was then that she heard two rather young and high pitched voices begging for the attention of someone older, a brother or father maybe? Eliza didn't bother to pay much attention to the matter, she turned slightly at first and saw the back of a rather large boy holding two toddlers or young children, twins probably. Eliza was just about to turn and leave when she heard a voice behind her.
English was her third language so it didn't come that easily to her, she had to really think before she spoke sometimes. She had only been in the United States for a week as it was. In a thick Romanian accent she turned to him and looked up, he was very tall, towering over her five foot seven inch frame. What kind of help do you need? she asked rolling the english words off her tounge like they were difficult to speak. As a young girl she had learned Romanian first and then French because they were similar. Before her mother died she had started learning Latin, German and Russian but after the death her father cancelled her tutors and put her to work in the house.
Eliza hoped she would be able to help this stranger at least a little. He looked like he was at his wits ends trying to control the two children, one of whom wouldn't stop pulling his hair and the other was talking like a motorboat, a million miles a minute about some show. Eliza couldn't help but giggle, she remembered helping raise the children in her household, not all of whom had made it into later life like her and her sister. In total Eliza had one older brother that was deceased, a younger sister that was here in Foxford with her, two younger half brothers that were in Romania still and another younger sister that had died at only three years of age. It was odd letting this stranger see her face though, for the past four years of her life she had worn a mask, that was the law in Romania. Anyone over fourteen and unmarried must wear a mask when in the presence of anyone except her immediate family. Here she was just a normal girl...well trying to be one.
