Name: Elizabeth (Eliza) Valaren

Age: 28

Gender: Female 

Status: Mage

Kingdom: Neither

Personality: Eliza is certainly a unique person. She is often told that she is a walking contradiction of herself, and she knows it is true. Generally, she is mild, considerate, generous, selfless, albeit very sassy and sarcastic. She does not trust people easily, but she cares about everyone. Often times people will think her unintelligent because of her tendency to be a but sporadic and unpredictable, but she was actually a genius that just can not keep all her thoughts in order, and she's always using her intelligence to help others.  Often times, she will be sitting quietly and then all of the sudden she will just exclaim the solution to a problem she was facing three days ago (rather loudly), generally causing whoever she's with to become slightly startled. Eliza is a bit of an introvert, having not been around many people when she was young, but she does enjoy the company of people at times and she enjoys conversing with those who share her interests. If she is being quiet around people, then it is safe to assume that she is in deep thought, probably silently judging someone's actions. She is extremely aware of her own morals, and has a strict set of them that she lives by, a code if you will, that is known only to her. If you manage to gain her trust, you will have an ally for the rest of your life. She is loyal almost to a fault. 

However, she has a much, much darker side that she keeps hidden as much as she can, but sometimes it comes out. She has a short tolerance for stupidity, and she is a very blunt person so if you say something stupid she [i]will[/i] tell you. Also, if you betray her, or someone she cares about, and if you ever threaten her in any way, you will see her fury and you will learn why she is one of the most known mages in the two kingdoms. The dark elves fear her, and even the orcs feel uneasy when they hear her name. She is very powerful, despite being young. Underestimating her would be the worst mistake of your life. 

History: Once upon a time in the kingdom of Barradale, the king had a young daughter. One day the castle was sieged, and the royal family was threatened. The king and queen were both killed, and the daughter was taken away in the chaos, kidnapped by rebels. Everyone thought the young princess was killed with her parents, so the search was brief before her cousin ascended to the throne. This is where the story of young Eliza began. The rebels had taken her so that they could sell her. After all, what slave trader wouldn't want a little girl with brown hair and green eyes? Especially one that was a royal. She tried to escape once, but the punishment she received kept her from trying again. Fortunately for her, an old mage happened to be passing by, and he heard her screams. He came, and after much "persuasion", he saved Eliza and raised her as if she was his own daughter. As she grew, it was clear she had the potential to be a great mage. At the age of five, she almost burned their small cottage down because she accidentally used too powerful of a spell. Her adopted father laughed, but the other apprentice there wasn't quite as amused. 

Eventually though, as every teen does, she got rebellious. She thought she was ready to go out on her own, so at age 14 she left/ran away. She did alright for a year or so, but then she fell in with the wrong group of people. Thieves, mercenaries, killers, basically the lowest scum of middle earth. What was worse, she trusted them. Because of her naïve actions, one night they betrayed her she was thrown into prison. She was there for three months before her father finally found her, and allow me to say that three months in a Barradalian prison is not pleasant at all. When he did finally find her, he lectured her and then left her alone in the prison. She had never felt so abandoned in her life. She stopped eating what little food she was provided, and became a bit of a lifeless shell. Why didn't she use her magic to get out, you ask? They had another mage there that was specifically there to dampen her powers, so it would have been useless. She was hopeless and alone, and regretted her decisions. Little did she know, the mage that guarded her was her father. He had followed her the first night she ran away, and he had watched her. The reason he didn't let her out, was because he wanted to be sure she wouldn't rebel again. However, when she broke down crying in her cell for the first time in years, he decided she had had enough. He paid her fine, and took her home. She never tried to go off on her own again until he told her she was ready.
