Elizabeth Joan
Age 18 Birthday January 20, 2002 Gender Female Pronouns She/Her Orientation Heterosexual Faction Chimera Class Nurse Rank Caretaker Occupation Idol (Singer) Hometown Bass City, Arciel Current Residence Bass City, Arciel (* travelling as needed) | Tell us a little about yourself. How would you describe yourself? "Motivated." [...] "Ah, sorry, I was under the impression that this was a brief interview? How long do I have?" [...] "Excellent. Well. I see myself as an entertainer--given my career path that shouldn't be too much of a surprise. But I also want to be seen as...'inspirational' sounds so haughty to say aloud, but it's true. I would like to give people drive and inspiration, I'd like to give them a positive feeling through my music and work with my team. And of course through my side-job working at the Bass City Pokemon Center." [...] "Heheh. I know, who would pick nursing as a side-job to being a singer?" Why are you interested in the class you've chosen? "My father was a doctor before me, and when I agreed to move back to Bass City he got me a connection with the local Pokemon Center. I'm not untrained--but I'm only really doing this because it was a quick connection and it looks good to the press..." Laughter. "And because it helps people! What do you take me for?" In truth, Elizabeth isn't doing it to "help people", but only to keep her father happy enough that he continues to support her financially until she has enough money to pay her own way. It's not a bad job, but it's more time consuming than she'd like, and doesn't have as wide a reach as her singing. It's a job, but it's not a career. Why are you interested in training in Arciel? Why not another region? "I was born and raised in Bass, until my parent's divorced and my mother moved to Cherry Town. With all the bouncing between here and there, I just got too attached to the local scenery to wander very far." [Short answer:] She has friends here. [Long answer:] She has friends here, and is petrified of the thought of trying to create similar bonds anywhere else. She hates distance between herself and those she loves and does as much as she can to avoid it, including staying in a region she finds...well... What do you consider your best attributes? They can be physical, mental, social, or anything else. "My dazzling charm and quick wit. Hah. No. The best thing about me is undoubtedly my singing voice. I was called a natural talent growing up, but I've also had more than my fair share of singing lessons to hone it to what it is today. On top of that, I've done ballet and a number of other styles of dance through the years to increase my strength and flexibility. It's very helpful when on the stage, or even when I'm working at the clinic and just need to lift a particularly heavy Pokemon. Not something I would have thought I'd be good at, but, well, I'm not going to complain?" What do you consider your worst attributes? Be honest, now! "I had a horrible habit of holding grudges. It's gotten a lot better the older I am, but I was awful in middle school and well into high school. I did more than a few 'filled the locker with shaving cream' pranks on people I didn't like. But again, I'm learning to forgive and forget nowadays. I think I'm doing rather well at it." Bullshit. Elizabeth is just as vindictive as she was as a child, but now she's even better at exacting revenge, if only because now she's smart enough to avoid being caught. She also has a nasty obsessive streak that kicks in around people she likes a lot--usually just the PNG girls and her boyfriend--but that doesn't stop her from manipulating them when she feels like they aren't going to go along with whatever she's planning. One might even say those closest to her are most at risk of getting a taste of her ire, if only because she cares so, so much about them that her anger soars when they do something dangerous...like ignoring her. What was your childhood like? How was school? "It was...hmm..." [...] "It wasn't unpleasant. I was going between Bass City and Cherry Town every few weeks, which complicated things when the schoolwork didn't line up and made making friends difficult. I was lucky to have had friends before the move that were--and still are--loyal to a fault. They kept my head above water in the years of feeling disconnected from everyone else." "My parents divorced when I was about seven years old, but because of how messy the custody battle was I wound up missing too much of my second year of elementary school. I had to retake the year...and then retook it again when my...emotional state was too fragile to keep up. Things improved over time but it wasn't until I started doing online schooling instead of going to public school that some things became easier. I could take my curriculum with me whether I was with my father or my mother, so my grades stopped suffering." How is your relationship with your family? "My parents are amicable now, but growing up?..." [...] "...my mother is the very definition of a 'matron'. She's very stern but not unfair. Always doting but never too lenient. I believe a lot of my talent comes from her in one way or another--she's a beautiful singer, though more theatrical than me--but some time after marrying my father she gave up on singing and dancing and decided to just be a mother. She's a good mother." "My father isn't too different from her. He had a lot of plans for me that he's had brewing since before he even met my mother, and for the most part they were for my good? Like, putting away money for the best school, planning on getting a pedigree starter...it was never selfish, but it didn't give me much room for my own plans. He was happy that I had friends but not that we were planning on making an idol group. He saw it...sees it, I suppose, as childish. It's the one thing I can't see eye-to-eye with and probably never will." "I recall them always arguing over my future, and it drove them apart. There was more than just me...it was what I remember clearest. Pleasant, isn't it? They're better apart--and with me as an adult--than they ever were. I don't think they'll ever be friends but at least I'm not being fought over anymore." What do you like to do for fun? "Do you know that saying 'if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life'? I have to agree with it. I love to sing and I love to dance--it's freeing and it's awe-inspiring if I'm doing it right. Even just listening to songs makes me happy. I'm really into all forms of musical expression. When I'm not in the studio or at the clinic I'm listening to whatever new albums are available online." [...] "But just between us, I have a weakness for conspiracy theories and creepypasta stories. I will stay up all night reading them if nobody's there to stop me, heheh. I even have some of my favorites printed." What are your feelings on romance? [...] "I-I, um, I'm not currently..." Mumbling. "Is this really an important question? It doesn't feel like an important question. Please ask something else." [...] "NOW." Eliza is currently in a relationship with James "Jamie" Wilson . After the two met during her (second) repeated year of elementary school, his incessant attempts to make friends with her eventually won her over. Over the years her feelings became romantic, and she told him the Halloween before he began his Pokemon journey that she wanted to be his girlfriend. However, their relationship is on pause while they're in separate cities. Eliza is scared of what distance does to people, and while she's still utterly head-over-heels for him, she doesn't want Jamie to feel pressured to talk to her or anything like that while they're apart. She's also fed him a lot of lies. He believes she's even younger than he is, and hasn't realized the obvious flaw in this with how old her "friends from Bass" are. She's also involved him in some of her less-than-good ideas... ...like everything involving Chimera. What are your goals for the future? Short-term and long-term. "Short term, I'm preparing to get my RN and continue to work part-time at the local Pokemon Center. I'd like to get enough money from there and from my singing career to be completely independent, which I'm not. There's also a few people I really, really want to see..." "Long term I want to be a professional singer. I might keep up the nursing stuff in the background, just in case things fall flat--see, I can be realistic?--but I would rather make a living doing my favorite thing with some of my most favorite people. And...there's...other things I'd like to accomplish. Like maybe...g-...getting married?" Mumbling. "Not that I plan on rushing into that, or even want to have a family yet, but it would be...nice...I think." "There's also...something I want to see again, that I lost a long time ago. Something that just...made the whole world so clear and beautiful for just a short amount of time. I really, really want to see it. I don't know how I'll do it but I just...I can't get it out of my head. Hahah..." [...] "...can we cut that part from the interview? Thanks." If you could be a Pokemon, what species or typing would you choose and why? Mumbling. "I don't know if it had a name..." [...] "I mean, Dark/Fairy, obviously. That's the whole idea of the group name isn't it? We're cute and devilish. Heh. Personally I think I'd make a neat Dark/Psychic myself but the only one of those I know of is the Inkay line. And, uh, thematic typing aside, they're just a little too strange for me. Especially Malamar. Nooo thank you." What do Pokemon mean to you? "I don't really have an answer for that. I know a lot of people say they're their life, but...look, most of my patients are Pokemon. I think that puts a strange perspective on the whole battling scene. I'm not going to say it's bad, but I see a lot of seriously injured 'mons come through. It can be dangerous if people aren't being careful. Having to treat those Pokemon and deal with the trauma of just seeing them in that state...if I'm being honest, it makes them more human to me." "But then the question becomes 'what do humans mean to you'?...I don't think there's an answer to that, either." Anything else you'd like to tell us about before you go? "Make sure to check where and when the next Pixie Nightmare Girls concert is. We'd love to see you there." |
Appearance
Height 5'05" / 165cm Build Slender--Ballerina Muscles Hair Color Naturally Green Eye Color Hazel | It's easy to see why Elizabeth can pass for somebody younger than she is. Her body doesn't seem particularly developed, mostly due to the amount of stress put on it by her ballet training. Still, she is slender with strong legs and excellent posture. Her hair has a brilliant emerald-green color, and is cut longer in the front and shorter in the back in a rather dramatic A-line bob--though the front reaches all the way to her chest, which is quite longer than a "bob" should be. Her eyes are hazel, leaning more on green than brown in brighter lighting. Elizabeth likes to match the style of whoever she's around on a particular day; peppy and bright colors when with her band mates, wild and eccentric when with her boyfriend, and calm and sterile when around her co-workers. Alone and at home, though, she almost exclusively dons t-shirts and pajama pants. With musical notes on them. Aura Eliza's aura is almost entirely silver, and covers her body almost like a second skin. It ripples when she sings and swells when she dances, moving ever so slightly behind her like an after-image. Around ones she loves and her mood improves it shines with streaks of yellow and blue and white. But around those who she dislikes--or whenever she's angered--her aura becomes more her shadow than her double, growing taller behind her and darkening to a gray-tinted green, like her hair. The worse her mood gets, the larger the "shadow" becomes. |

She has a hard time falling asleep until she has hit the point of absolute exhaustion. While she has medicine to help with this, she dislikes how deep a sleep it puts her into, and she avoids taking it unless she has a show or a hard day of work tomorrow. Five years ago, during the Ultra Beast invasion, Eliza saw...something. Whatever it was was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. While she knows it was an Ultra Beast--and thus incredibly dangerous--she is obsessed with finding it again. Unknown to her the object of her obsession was a Nihilego who flew too close to her window. It was driven back before it could do any harm, but Elizabeth... ...well, let it never be said that she was a rational woman to start with... Pokemon
