❱❱❱❱ APPEARANCE
Eliza is a rather small and young looking lass, even for her youthful age. Standing just above five feet tall, Eliza appears very skinny despite the short stature she already stands at. This causes her to have a very lean and frail appearance. Eliza’s skin is a fair color with a hint of soft pale complexion. With her overall build and stature, Eliza appears very feminine and girly. Some might even go as far to say that she seems weak and frail. Eliza seems rather frightened of her surroundings most of the time and is rarely going to not be cowering in the face of danger.
Upon first glance, one would immediately be greeted with a strikingly bright blonde head of hair that falls and curls ever so slightly around Eliza’s shoulders. Always seeming to get in her way, Eliza’s golden locks are always kept in a very pristine and styled manner. The bangs of her hair, usually styled to either side often droop into her pure cerulean blue eyes after a long day of play with her friends. Eliza meticulously likes to perfect her appearance, always keeping her hair styled with a slight natural curl and accessories like bows and headbands. Along with the beautifying she does to her hair and face, clothing is an important factor in her fashion as well. Preferring dainty and girly clothing, Eliza finds herself wearing an assortment of sundresses or plain t-shirts with flowing skirts. Enjoying longer socks and shoes, Eliza most commonly wears a pair of boots of various colors with socks reaching up to her knees or thighs.
When she speaks, the ears of listeners are graced with a soft and elegantly articulated voice that sounds airy and almost whispery. Often soft spoken and reserved while around any others, it is easy to overlook or disregard the quiet voice of Eliza. To describe Eliza’s mannerisms, the words whimsical and timid would come to mind. She shies away from any sort of conflict, and finds herself frightened and intrigued of many things that many believe to be constructs of her imagination. It is not uncommon that Eliza is seen with an almost blank expression upon her face. It is as if she doesn’t seem to understand what is going on around her, and appears out of it. Her bright and rapturous smile always seems to radiate an air of happiness, as if infectious to those around her.
❱❱❱❱ PERSONALITY
Eliza has always had two truly distinct moods that every scenario she finds herself in often fit into. Those moods are most easily characterized by either a radiant smile or a flow of tears. This happens because little Eliza is one of the most fragile beings in town, but she can also be very ecstatic and overjoyed with happiness. It is very uncommon to see Eliza in a neutral mood for she always comes up with something to be happy over. This abnormally happy personality is what some believe to be a coping mechanism of Eliza’s. With her parents separated, and Eliza in between households and parents, most would think there would be very little to be happy about. So Eliza decided to be happy about everything.
With a father living in the northern and richer sides of St. Stephens and a mother in the poorer conditions of the southern side of St. Stephens, Eliza finds herself moving around the small town quite a bit. This causes Eliza to be randomly absent on certain days when she would usually play with her friends. This awkward scenario was caused by a recent divorce in the Andrascik family. Eliza was never truly told the reason for the event, but she can only assume that monetary disputes are what caused this complete shattering of her family. With her brother, who she adored and put on quite the pedestal, leaving three years before this divorce, Eliza has found all her solace in her friends. One friend in particular, she has always seemed to go to and rely on for help in any times of need: Felix.
Felix, also known as Felicity has quite the history with Eliza. Having known each other as acquaintances for quite a long time it was not until five years ago that the pair truly became close. One particular event sparked their friendship and it all occurred at a simple and run down convenience store near the south side of St. Stephens. Seeing each other within the store by random chance, Eliza didn’t approach Felix at first. It wasn’t until she saw him attempting to pocket some of the store’s snacks that she attempted to intervene, making her best, albeit completely incoherent argument as to why he shouldn’t do that. After Eliza finished her idiotic monologue, it was then that Felix took her to what he claimed to be a sufficient reason to explain his thievery. Along the way, Felix explained he had found a box of kittens that looked hungry and he was unable to procure food in any other way. Eliza goes through another long winded rhetoric about how stealing was wrong in hopes her lackluster way with words gets through to her acquaintance. When the two arrive back at the box’s location, the box had vanished. Feli throws a fit at the sight, becoming enraged. After a long bit of cowering, Eliza attempted to calm Felix down, starting the blossoming of a great friendship. Felix has now become a sort of protector to Eliza, and she in turn has become a voice of peace in his life.
One of Eliza’s most defining traits would likely be her whimsical outlook on the world around her. Completely convinced that things like magic and monsters exist, Eliza is quite the proprietor of false stories and tales of a vast variety that detail her encounters with such subjects. Whenever something can’t be explained or Eliza for one reason or another cannot understand, she will jump straight into a new and completely incoherent magical explanation. It has become a mixture of novelty and annoyance to her friends, because Eliza can be very stubborn when it comes to this belief and the storytelling can get quite repetitive with the consistency and bulk of her imagination.
❱❱❱❱ FAMILY
Lukas Andrascik, 47 – Lukas is the father of Eliza. Living on the richer side of St. Stephens, Lukas is rather well off. Though, whenever someone asks about what he does, the only reply Eliza seems to formulate is that he ‘works with technology’. Lukas is no doubt the most laid back member of the Andrascik family. He has always cared greatly for his children and pampered them to a certain extent. Eliza always appears to be in a good mood around her father. This is often because of how much he puts up with her constant blathering and overactive imagination. Lukas is definitely the more supporting parent and he is the parent that currently takes care of Eliza full time. Lukas appears rather lean and slightly young for his age. He sports a full set of black hair and it appears the only feature Eliza took from him was his fragile build.
Sophia Antalovich, 45 – Sophia is the mother of Eliza. She lives in a small, two bedroom apartment on the south side of St. Stephens. Quite contrastingly from Eliza’s father, Sophia struggles for money and finds herself working long and stressful hours. This leaves her in a very tired and often stressed out manner when she finds time off of work. As an accountant for a local business in St Stephens, her wages are low. Sophia’s affection for her children is often an off and on thing that depends greatly on how her mood and her day are. Rarely do they fight, but sometimes it appears that Sophia is too tired to worry about Eliza. This greatly depresses Eliza, who wishes her mother would be more happy all the time like her. Eliza tries to help her mother out as often as she can, but it always seems that Sophia wishes to appear self sufficient and strong, so she often denies Eliza’s help.
Jakob Andrascik, 24 – Jakob is Eliza’s brother and the original giver of her nicknames. He was always rather playful around his sister which led to the two developing a very close relationship. Eliza learned to rely on Jakob, but when he left on a full ride to a prestigious college, Eliza was left alone. Jakob was always a realist in comparison to Eliza. He worked hard throughout the end of his high school years and has been what some would call a genius ever since. He also has a much more solemn side that Eliza seems to be missing.

Due to her vast imagination, she tends to make quite interesting stories and with her talented way with words, writing is a number one talent of hers.
♆ AstrologyWith such an overactive imagination and skewed visions of reality, Eliza hasn’t left everything to her mind. Sometimes she grows curious enough to do her research, and thus she found the world of astrology. It wasn’t long before Eliza became infatuated with the ideas and theories based around celestial bodies and their meanings. It is not uncommon that Eliza will bring up her knowledge of the stars as if to give insight on a current situation, whether those around her care to hear it or not. Signs of planets, stars, constellations, and all of their meanings have been meticulously memorized so Eliza can know exactly what does and does not pertain to the current situation. Astrology is often one of her main sources of guidance.
♆ ObservationShe is such a quiet young lass, Eliza is. Despite her often blank expression and dazed state of daydreaming though, her mind is constantly at work taking in everything around it and analyzing it, albeit it is analyzed in a very illogical way. Incorporating all her senses, Eliza has great perception in any environment. This assists her in spotting things before others or recalling things that the average person might forget. Small features she can pick out while speaking with others have often assisted her in conversations as well.
♆ AdaptationEliza is very comfortable around others much more so than she is when she is alone. This leads her to flock to others to avoid being exiled in a way. This mentality has granted her the uncanny ability to blend in with a group. In attempts to maintain order or stay on people’s good side, Eliza is extraordinarily empathetic. This assists her in understanding and maintaining relationships with those she chooses to be around as well as assisting in helping Eliza go unnoticed in larger venues with many crowds. She may not like to be out of place, but to help cope, she has learned to find a place or at least pretend to do so if it comes to that.
♆ MentalismThe daintiness and airheadedness of Eliza only extend so far. When it comes to street smarts or book smarts, she may be lacking, but inside her head, Eliza is always analyzing, contemplating, and discovering. She has a knack for understanding how things work, and in particular, Eliza understands how people work. This talent of hers likely developed due to Eliza’s subconscious need to fit in and be around others. She has grown capable of subtly influencing conversation and interaction with small tricks and she also tends to be able to pick out small details that others wouldn’t see giving her insights into how her conversational partner thinks and acts.
