Part of her gift is that she can not only see the trapped spirits who can not pass over, but converse with them. She can learn what caused their death, what unfinished business they may have, and even attempt to resolve it. Her power also allows her to pull a displaced spirit along for the ride if their unfinished business can only be resolved elsewhere. Thus, with this gift, she aims to always be on the lookout for those who need her help. [color=BA55D3]Habits:[/color] Stares off into space as if a ghost is present even if one is not.

In truth, that was a cruel lie spread by a fake psychic in the same town and caught on like wildfire. [color=BA55D3][b]►[/b] [b]Secrets[/b][/color] Elsabeth has, on a few occasions, pretended to use her gift in exchange for money. While she is not proud of it, there are often cases where a haunted house is simply old and drafty. Thus, she will go inside, pretend to help the ghastly figure move on, and then blame the noises on the damage done to the house by the prolonged presence. She views it as providing a service; still, these clients get the peace of mind that they won't be possessed in the night, and she still gets a piece of bread for her troubles.

She does not control the dead, but she can act as their final advocate and even petition them to assist her if a situation grows dire. For the most part, these spirits tend to reside at the place of their untimely demise. They grow cold, dark, and distant the further away from their death year they get. Their speech can be erratic and hard to understand. Yet, with the full application of her gift, she can provide a calming presence to them. Often, to be seen and heard again after centuries is enough to calm even the strongest tempest. And if that is not enough, her power can at least soothe them. While language barriers can exist, she finds that her repertoire of languages and an innate ability to get the gist of what they’re saying allow her to figure out what they want and how to help. To truly do this Elsabeth has become a great listener, and an even better detective. Often, most spirits who linger had died a terrible, sudden, and traumatic death caused by someone they knew. If she elects to help a spirit, she will begin to research their story, their death, and see if she can figure out how to help them pass. One area that this ability can fall short is if too many spirits in an area notice that she can speak and understand them, and all try to talk to her at once. A few spirits at a time is manageable, but often she’ll accidentally have hundreds trying to get her help at once. It’s unmanageable at best, and mind breaking at worst. As such, she will need to make smart decisions when it comes to large groups of spirits.

Death was a constant companion during her early years as strife, conflict, and disease ran unchecked through the Irish countryside. The memories she was able to cling to of her parents paint them in the warmest of lights. They ensured she was fed, clothed, and even taught her to read and write. She was given ample space to be a kid in a land filled with sights that should have robbed her of a childhood. Up until her tenth year of age she didn't face a struggle her parents couldn't overcome. Elsabeth learned shortly thereafter that death was truly the grand equalizer of us all. A sickness, unlike any before, spread unchecked through the village. The people's faces grew pallid as their bodies became frail. In the earthen streets, many stayed, with outstretched hands, begging for help and assistance with the pain that filled their bodies. Eventually, this disease came to her house. Both her mother and her father stayed in bed more than they came out, and eventually they never rose from them again. At least, not with their bodies. As the rest of the village died outside their home, Elsabeth stayed inside, and her parents' spirits provided enough comfort during this traumatic time as her Enlightened ability awakened for the first time. Eventually, when the food stopped flowing to the nearby city, a patrol was dispatched, led by her favorite uncle, who discovered Elsabeth, frail but alive, and promised that he would take care of her from here on out. As she was led to the waiting horse, she looked back and watched as her parents were finally able to cross over. That moment was comfort in the midst of the chaos of her witnessing the trapped souls of all the former villagers who begged and pleaded for help, unable to see each other, and unable to be seen or heard by the soldiers. The next five years were spent where education was her primary pursuit. She learned various languages, to the surprise of her teacher. In truth, this was done so that she might have a better chance and speaking with the spirits of the departed. Even in this city, the sheer number of spirits was overwhelming. Still, she took the education in stride and practiced what she could with her Enlightened ability. On her eighteenth name day, she left home with a note left on the table explaining the situation to her uncle and why she had to go. The note suggested she would first travel to England to find training with this ability, before returning home. In truth, she returned to the sight of her former village, where only ruins remained, and spent the next week helping the remaining villagers pass over as her parents had done previously. In the years since, she has had to stay one step ahead of her uncle's forces, who seek to return her to her rightful place back home, where she is expected to marry and continue her family's legacy, while also earning what she can helping those who can afford to pay, and still helping those who can not. While she knows she means well, she has accomplished so much more than she ever could have in that cage. Every town she enters has a time limit, and it grows shorter by the day. As such, Elsabeth seeks aid in continuing her work.
