[center][h3][b]Personality:[/b][/h3]
[color=gray]

Cheerful, easygoing and quite energetic, Eliza, or 'Liz/Lizzie' how she prefers to be called, is quite a refreshing person to have around. Despite her strong opinions, she is still a pleasant company. Often enjoying conversation and meeting other people. She greatly values trust and friendship, more so than money or material possessions and is quite loyal to those she considers as friends.

Despite all that, Eliza also can, sometimes, have quite a fiery temper. She is not the type of girl who would back from a fight or stay quiet if someone offends her. She's not your defenseless little girl and has no problems in getting her hands dirty if needed. That said, even if she gets mad with one of her friends, she is quick to forgive, as long as it wasn't anything serious like betraying her trust.

[center][h3][b]Biography:[/b][/h3]
[color=gray]

Eliza spent most of her childhood in the suburbs of Baile Mór, in the island of Iona. When one has no roof over their heads, life is already hard but when supplies, food and most other things aren't as abundant as they were before, it gets much worse... The apocalypse had an... interesting effect on most people. Even though human instincts tells them to gather and make groups in order to survive, most people seem to have forgotten what kindness and compassion is. Focusing only on their sole survival, there were few the good souls that found enough kindness in themselves to help orphans and share what little they had. Being shunned and even chased by some, Eliza quickly learned that she had to do anything she could to survive. Trusting others was a dangerous thing to an orphan, especially when no one cared about her survival and if she didn't know how to defend herself, she was as good as dead. Every day for her was quite literally, a fight for her life... That is until she met Charles, a middle aged mechanic that had a small workshop on a part of the city that was a bit less poor than the suburbs where Eliza lived.

At first, Eliza and Charles' meeting was simply due to curiosity. After finding Charles' workshop by luck, she saw him working on a big block of metal which she soon recognized as the engine of a huge airship. Amazed by both the complexity of it's insides and how such a huge, heavy thing was responsible for making the airships fly, she simply stood outside, hiding herself behind a few wooden boxes while she watched Charles working, afraid he would beat or chase her if he saw her. Without anything better to do, Eliza began to return to that same place to watch Charles work day after day, always hiding and never showing herself. Until the day she found a sandwich neatly wrapped on top of the boxes she often hid behind, that is. Eliza didn't think twice as her stomach was often empty and ate the sandwich in mere seconds. It was then that she saw Charles looking at her from inside the workshop, laughing at how voraciously such a small girl ate the sandwich. When their eyes met, he waved at her, asking her to get closer to the engine she always liked to watch him work on. When he turned it on for the first time since he started fixing it, it made a loud noise as the previously broken engine came to life, making Eliza jump back in fear, which in result made him laugh as he turned it off again.

Soon, Eliza and Charles' relationship, which started without a single word being said by both of them, grew enough that Eliza began to live in Charles' workshop, together with him. Neither one of them remembers how or when Eliza began helping Charles with his job as a mechanic nor how she became so good at it, but her admiration for Charles coupled with her interest in his job certainly were one of the reasons why she was so quick to learn.
Maybe it was luck or maybe Charles saw something on the poor, dirty orphan Eliza was, but he ended up unofficially adopting her. As she grew older, Eliza not only became a beautiful girl, but her talent for being a mechanic became quite clear as she quickly became as good as Charles himself, quickly making the title 'apprentice' inaccurate to describe her. With Charles raising Eliza as his own daughter, the two grew incredibly close over the years and Eliza helped him in his workshop until she became old enough to start her own life.

On Eliza's 18th birthday, Charles gave her a small, portable set of tools, the same ones that were quite expensive, used by the mechanics on wealthier parts of the city, together with a box, filled with a decent amount of money he had saved over the years. Telling her she shouldn't waste her life on such a small workshop, Charles told Eliza that she should take those gifts and go where her heart wanted, live her own life. After a long hug and a heartfelt farewell, Eliza promised to return to visit him before boarding an Airship and leaving.

[b]Equipment[/b]
[b]Weapons[/b] 

Mercureal Pistol - [color=gray]Modeled after a vintage model, it packs a considerable punch, even for a Mercureal weapon. No special attributes other than it's appearance and it's stopping power.
[/color]
Injection Knife - [color=gray] On the outside it looks like a standard combat knife, but it has a small mechanism that uses a cylinder of compressed air that when a certain button, hidden on the knife's hilt is pressed, liberates the pressurized air, expanding inside the wound and causing great damage. It is still an incredibly sharp, reliable and resistant knife though.

[b]Armor[/b] 

Heavily modified scout steam armor - [color=gray] Having removed everything other than the boots, it was made to be as light and efficient as possible by Liz herself. It is quite simple compared to a normal scout model steam armor, having only a belt to hold the small steam cells and the necessary mechanisms, connected to the boots and the steam jets themselves. It offers absolutely no protection or armor other than the boots but it is is more efficient than the normal models due to the lower weight (also because Eliza herself modified them) and doesn't hinder the user's mobility in any way while the jets are not active. It is a bit more complicated to use than normal scout models due to the lack of stabilizing jets, but when mastered, offers much more mobility. [/color]

[b]Accessories[/b] 

Mechanic's tools [color=gray] Most of the times, other than ammunition, spare mercureal cells, compressed air cylinders and her weapons, Liz often carries a small pouch of tools on her belt. Reasonably portable, they are perfect for any type of repair she may need to do.[/color]
