Born to the wealthy Belmont family, Elisabetha was put under great pressure to succeed, and carry on her family's legacy. This pressure drove her inwards, into a numb state where she didn't care about anything or anyone. She came out of her shell to a certain degree thanks to the efforts of a mysterious teacher, and her closest servant, Emily, once they were in New York City, as part of her travels around the world.

In the past two years, great changes have taken place for Elisabetha, including the discovery that there are others out there with "gifts", that not all of them are good people, and that there is a better way to go through life than being numb to avoid pain, or trying to end the lives of others to spare them from suffering. She is presently (as of 2009) testing out a prosthetic limb meant to give her the right arm she was born without, and being tutored by a new teacher.

History

  • Elisabetha was never right in the head, but this condition was made worse by the pressure heaped upon her by her parents. Though initially a vibrant and energetic girl, she slowly withdrew from the world around her, spending most of her time with her childhood friend, Emily. As she grew old enough to begin dating, her mother set her up with various suitors, none of whom struck Elisabetha's interest in the slightest. The repercussions of her failure to act how her mother expected her to resulted in her retreating even more, into a numb, hollow, shell of a woman. Emily loved her mistress, and was pained to see her in such a state, so she called a mysterious man who had visited once before, nearly a decade ago, to come help "Miss Eli". The man was, unbeknownst to either Elisabetha or Emily, Elisabetha's real father. He claimed he knew how to resolve Elisabetha's issues, and was permitted by Sarissa, Elisabetha's mother, to take her on a tour of the world, teaching her first hand the pain that existed in the world, and how to end it with her "gifts". That was three years ago. Now she, Emily, and her Teacher have arrived in New York City as part of Elisabetha's "education".
  • After the whole fiasco with Pinehearst, Novak has gone off on a new mission, and Elisabetha has been left in Emily's care. Further, Lee has taken on Elisabetha as a student, and is tutoring her in more practical knowledge than the cryptic lessons that Novak was giving.
  • 2009: Elisabetha has changed greatly. She is closer to being the woman she should have been if her ability hadn't manifested, rather than the emotionless husk she used to be. She has a right arm now, in the form of a prosthetic limb that utilizes robotics that attach to nerve endings, and she is progressing in her studies with Lee. Soon, she hopes to take her GED and go to college. However, big changes are on the way, and things may not work out the way she hopes…
  • 2010: Elisabetha has been captured my the United States government — twice — and they attempted to use her as a weapon to destroy the evidence of their wrong-doings. However, she has survived without accomplishing that task, and is now attempting to regain some semblance of a normal life. Her right arm has been regrown somehow, but her ability is gone.
