She does not eat much, but she's not in bad shape. Due to the nature of her enlistment, she is typically issued male uniforms, which she does not mind wearing. Elliot does have a habit of keeping herself and her surroundings neat and tidy. She tends to keep her hair short, typically sporting an ushanka and a long coat when in colder climates. She keeps a number of utility belts and pouches on her person for easy access to her gear.[/indent][/color] [color=#239C89][b]Personality[/b][/color] [color=Silver][indent]Composed, stoic, and precocious. She is often seen as 'cold' at times due to her lack of outward reactions. She’s slow to trust strangers but is generally not unfriendly. Although seemingly apathetic, Elliot is a caring and understanding individual, owing to her upbringing. Methodical, inquisitive, and detail-oriented, she loves discussing technical details about machines and weapons. Her honesty is brutal, and her self-loyalty trumps all of her actions. However, she is known to assist others out of her own inconvenience simply because "she wants to." Though she's only been in the war for two years, she's developed several ways to cope, having joined at such a young age. She has compartmentalized the worst of her experiences in an effort to maintain her sanity. She views the war as a grim necessity, and that fighting in it is her duty-- for her family, for her friends who've died in the war, and for her country. Elliot views her own role as a marksman with pride, though she finds the fact that killing is one of her few talents... concerning, and wonders what she will do when the war ends, only to push that thought aside for the future. Strangely enough, even after everything she's seen and done, Elliot believes that the world is a beautiful place and that its many imperfections make it all the more admirable. Only time will tell if she retains this worldview.

[*] [color=#239C89][b]Countersniper[/b][/color] - Although her diminutive size held her back before, her small profile gives her a certain edge in remaining unseen and in cover. It is because of this that she excels at a secondary purpose: to locate and eliminate enemy snipers. Sometimes, it is as simple as laying traps in spots where they are likely to hide, other times, it is triangulating the angle of their shots to get a bead on their location. [*] [color=#239C89][b]Tunnel Vision[/b][/color] - It is expected that marksmen, owing to their scopes, tend to focus heavily on one task or target, and Elliot is no different. She prefers to work as a scalpel: taking out key targets with surgical precision, but this can be problematic in its own right. Unless told otherwise, she tends to miss the big picture, preferring to take things one at a time. In addition, missed shots and elusive targets irritate her, which may cause her to double down at the task at hand, rather than to step back and reassess the situation. [/list][/color] [hr] [color=#239C89][b]Biography[/b][/color] [color=Silver][indent]Living in one of the middle-class districts of Castleton, Eleanor was born to a small family that got by about as well as everyone else. Her father worked as an engineer in the city's munitions factory, while her mother was a public accountant. Her older brother, Elliot, was born sickly, but attended school and apprenticed as an aspiring watchmaker. The reason why they were working so hard in spite of the relative prosperity in the nation's peacetime is that the family was deep in debt to a bank that had provided the money for a start-up business. Although they were up-and-comer at the time, they were quickly muscled in by rival competitors and lost much of their sales to bigger conglomerates. The now-defunct business was a burden that the family all wished to carry. Fast-forward several years, to when she was at the age of fifteen: the advent of the Great Europan War. Eleanor's brother came down with a disease that required expensive medicine-- an insidious illness that left him bedridden. With no other choice, the family paid for the treatments, even if it would set them back on their debt payments by a significant amount. Though he was still only just recovering, the conscription drive would have left him labeled as a draft dodger if he refused to go, and thus with a heavy heart, prepared to send Elliot to his probable death in the frontlines. Meanwhile, as she reached marriageable age, plans were put in place for Eleanor's betrothal. Although the family had intended for Eleanor to be wed to a gentleman uptown, it became increasingly evident to Eleanor that her prospective husband cared little for the rest of the girl's family at all. As she returned home one night, she noticed a flier plastered against the aging stone walls of the city- perhaps that very same recruitment drive would be the answer to everything. Against her family's wishes, Eleanor called the betrothal off in a rather unorthodox manner. Namely, she disappeared one morning, stole her brother's credentials, and did not return, leaving only a vague note as to her whereabouts. It simply stated that she had left the city to find work and that they would receive some money within the coming months. As they would later find out, it turns out that she had registered for the conscription drive that the Edinburgh military was holding under her brother's identity, which spared her brother Elliot from draft evasion. Eleanor was always androgynous enough to pass as a man if she wanted to, after all. And although she had lied to the recruiter about her name, sex, and age, the documents and reports she had given the man were legitimate. Donning the new name "Elliot", the young "man" was sent to a military base for training. She managed to barely squeeze past acceptable levels in basic training, all the while keeping her true identity a secret. Although often mocked for her small stature and her difficulty in keeping up with some of the physical training regimens, Elliot impressed her instructors and fellow conscripts in the firing range. It turned out that she was quite prodigious with the rifle. Once the training period was finished, she was sent off to the eastern front, to assist in the war effort. It was in the crucible of war that she was truly tested. With her skills and more than a little bit of luck, she managed to survive, emerging as a distinguished sharpshooter, having earned a medal for eliminating an enemy officer at long-range. The girl would spend the next couple of years in the war, her role firmly cemented as a marksman. Assigned mostly to eliminate high-value targets or to scout out locations, Elliot was lucky enough to survive various offensives, in no small thanks to her talent. During her last mission, Edinburgh forces had to retreat, their position having been overwhelmed by the enemy, resulting in massive casualties. Following the dissolution of her battalion in the latest battle against Imperial forces, she was transferred to the 15th Atlantic Rifles to await further orders.[/indent][/color] [color=#239C89][b]Affiliations[/b][/color] [color=Silver][list] [*] Silas Roe || Father (39) [*] Anne Roe || Mother (36) [*] Elliot Roe || Elder Brother (18) [/list][/color] [color=#239C89][b]Relationships[/b][/color] [indent][color=Silver]None, yet.[/color][/indent] [color=#239C89][b]Character Theme[/b][/color] [indent][color=Silver][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L0aJee5p78&ab_channel=yanaginagi-Topic[/youtube][/color][/indent] [/hider]
