Name: Elizabeta Héderváry
Country of Origin: Hungary
Gender Depends on the day
Age: 24
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 145lbs
Appearance: Contrary to her disposition, Elizabeta consciously displays her femininity like the other weapons that adorn her body. She has learned that her curvaceous form can be just as useful in a fight with a member of the opposite sex. Her style of dress is anything but conventional. On occasion Roderich has attempted to have her dress more "appropriately" however for the time being she is uncomfortable under layers of sumptuous fabric.
The copper tresses that cascade over her shoulders reflect her unrestrained nature. Occasionally her companion will tuck a flower into the corner of her ear to try and soften her appearance. She usually humors him this. Otherwise, her person is decorated with accents of her ethnic heritage. Gold and silver bangles hang from her ears, neck, and wrists. Their jingling will often announce her arrival.
Crew member of: None yet
Status: None yet
Pet: Roderich
Personality: Elizabeta was raised to think of herself as very much one of the boys and constantly had to work hard at proving she could be one. The gender confusion of her youth has left her with unresolved tension between her masculine and feminine sides. She has demonstrated interested in learning how to be more feminine but doesn't always get it right. More often than not she returns to the habits of her youth.
She is quick to anger if someone tries to get physical with her or pick on people she cares about. She is relentless in a fight and won’t walk away unless she’s lost or badly beaten. However, her tough, masculine demeanor shows wear around the edges when dealing with others, especially when it comes to her partner, Roderich. She also has a soft spot for children after having helped out with her siblings.
History: Born the eldest daughter of 3 to Roma parents, Elizabeta was raised as a boy to compensate for the lack of a male child. Her father dressed her accordingly for the first 10 years of her life. She spent much of her life travelling and struggling to help her family make ends meet. Because of her upbringing, she blossomed into a young woman who wasn’t sure what she wanted from life. She was discouraged from taking jobs she had grown up doing and was dissatisfied with and unqualified for marriage. An unwed woman was looked upon as bad luck for the community and before long left.
The world was not welcoming to a young gypsy woman. She scraped by as best she could to make ends meet, eventually resorting to petty theft. However, karma caught up with her one day as she tried to steal from a young, upper class gentleman. He was able to take something very precious from her. Rather than keeping it and turning her in, the young man decided to blackmail her into staying around. Trying to tame a shrew turned out to be more difficult than he had imagined, especially when a series of difficulties threatened the life to which he was accustomed. Now, Elizabeta and her companion, Roderich Edelstein, have taken off together to regain what they have both lost.
((I apologize for parts that may seem vague. I have to do a bit more plotting with Roddy’s mun and she’s busy this weekend. It will be fleshed out later.))
Did you read the rules? Who is a Beastie?: My mom, jk. Wait, no. I am not. But she does enjoy rum like that Sparrow bloke.
