Balanced dieting and running 3 miles every morning never hurt nobody, is what she always says. She is borderline obsessed with keeping up appearances. Running a successful fitness & fashion blog means she always must look her best even when sweatpants and ice cream are calling her name. You’ll never catch her in public bumming out since even her workout outfits are all top brand. She is half Vietnamese half French. 5'8 weighing in at 130 lbs. She keeps her dark brown hair wavy and long. Defined cheekbones and eyebrows, Eliza is a case of hard worked natural beauty.

She is usually friendly and outgoing while maintaining a formal tone to those who aren’t as close to her. She enjoys helping others and because of her nature as a self-claim "guru" doesn't mind helping people out when it comes to fashion or fitness. Eliza is also passive when it comes to tension and would rather go on a run than confront a fight about dirty dishes. She's never been in a romantic relationship with a guy or a girl (an area of her life that she's trying to figure out) and is oblivious when someone is trying to hit on her. Because she's self- conscious, Eliza puts herself down but tries hard not to let others know that she is [/indent] [hr][hr] [color=f6989d][center][h3]History[/h3][/center][/color] [color=f6989d][b]Biography|[/b] [/color] [indent]Eliza Nguyen grew up in a small town where everyone knew each other. Born to a Vietnamese father and French mother she was raised under the pressure of academic excellence along with a younger sister. It was because of this she developed bad eating and sleeping habits that took a heavy toll on her body. Stress eating was the only way she could cope with trying to be a perfect child. Unfortunately, her peers didn’t take too kindly with her appearance as she didn’t fit society’s impossible standard of “beauty”. The outcome of this was severe bullying throughout middle and high school. Even her younger sister joined in the taunting. Eliza became severely self-conscious and fell into depression. It wasn’t until she got away from the hellish town and went to college did she aspire to quit her habits and improve her health and body. She became so self-absorbed with becoming fit that she cut out her past life completely. After graduating college with an exercise science degree, she disconnected herself from the small town and her family. Eventually she opened a blog titled “Strength and Love” that focused on the fitness and fashion aspect of her life garnering a reasonably large number of following. After a while, she moves to Suncrest to accept a personal trainer job with a top-level gym. Doing everything in her power to leave what she considered a shameful past behind and try to leave a more positive impact on herself and others around her. [/indent] [color=f6989d][b]A Memory|[/b] [/color] [indent]Towards the end of senior year Eliza opens her locker to find it trashed with spoiled food and slurs written all over. Pictures of the incident collected on social media and the few friends she had were too embarrassed to associate with her. Later finding out that her younger sister who was a Sophomore at the time, helped orchestrate the cruel prank. It ended up being a trigger in Eliza’s life to leave everything behind and start anew. [/indent] [color=f6989d][b]Struggles|[/b] [/color] [indent]Eliza is still too self-conscious about herself and runs away from her past even if it means losing her family. She has not yet figured out what she truly wants to do with her life; career or romantically. She was too busy transforming herself to even consider dating. But at the moment she is struggling whether or not the possibility of being bisexual. In terms of experiencing bullying, she tries hard to never come in contact with those who have bullied her in highschool. She hasn't spoken a word to her younger sister ever since she left the hell hole.[/indent] [color=f6989d][b]Family|[/b] [/color] [indent]Father: Thanh Nguyen; hardworking man who immigrated from Vietnam to America to pursue a better life and works hard owning a restaurant to ensure the success of his two daughters.
