Elizabeth (Bioshock)

Elizabeth, also known as Elizabeth Comstock, Anna Dewitt, Lamb of Columbia, Seed of the Prophet, The Miracle Child and Cohen's Songbird, is one of the main characters from the BioShock series.
== Charactah Account ==
Elizabeth is a young woman who has been locked in a tower in Columbia for most of her life, being isolated from the rest of the world and guarded by the mechanical Songbird. She jumps at the chance to escape her imprisonment, but her idealism is slowly hardened as she is faced with a number of truths about herself and the city she is in. 
Elizabeth is gifted with the ability to manipulate Tears, contingencies within the space-time continuum that show possible scenarios which, if tampered with, can enact themselves within Columbia or any universe in particular. Elizabeth is the only person known to be capable of controlling these Tears naturally, and can exploit them to summon objects such as weapons, ammunition, or parts of the scenery, as well as living beings. She can also use these Tears to travel through time and space and so is able to transport herself and Booker to other time periods and realities. Another use for the Tears is to merge different realities together, though doing this is stressful for her. However, her control over her powers is limited by a long-distance restraining device called the Siphon, preventing her from transporting herself out of Columbia.

== Trivia ==
* A promotional image featuring wanted posters name her only as "Miss Elizabeth" and list some of her specific features.
* Although Elizabeth's right little finger is missing a phalanx bone, in the original trailers and gameplay videos, her little finger is seen intact.
* When Booker first comes face-to-face with Elizabeth in the Library of the Columbia statue the book she is holding is the Odyssey by Homer.
* One of the secret photos taken of Elizabeth is adapted from a Eadweard Muybridge series of photographs published in 1887 known as plate 497, captioned "Miscellaneous phases of the toilet". He was a pioneer in using the newly invented camera to study motion. His most well-known work is The Horse in Motion which proved that all four of a horse's hooves leave the ground during a gallop.
* Russian cosplayer Anna Moleva was hired as a model for Elizabeth in late 2012 by Irrational Games for her spot-on portrayal of the character. Elizabeth's motion capturing was done by Heather Gordon.
* After Elizabeth's shirt is damaged enough, one can see that she's already wearing the corset from her late-game dress, which fits with a corset's period use as underwear.  It also explains how she was able to change so quickly as she just had to replace her blouse, skirt, and boots. It would have taken her far longer to lace a corset.
* When Booker and Elizabeth first board The First Lady airship, Elizabeth knocks Booker out with a red wrench at the controls of the airship. This is a reference to the melee weapon used by Jack in the first BioShock.
* When Booker ingests alcohol and becomes "drunk", Elizabeth will comment on his state, sometimes questioning his ability to shoot straight while under its influence.
