Eli

Eli's Current Reference

A 30 year old doctor who appears a few days after you first move into Crop Haven, Eli works in the Clinic as an assistant to Doc. Their diary is located on the desk in their bedroom.

## Personality

Not one for friends and more one for work, Eli is a serious and sometimes cold individual who prefers to keep their secrets close to themself and not freely share them with others. They stick to themself minus for a select few others, and have little interest in expanding that bubble unless pushed to. With workaholic tendencies, you're more likely to find them at work than at home or even enjoying holidays as a regular citizen of Crop Haven.

Though it may be hard to open up their shell, Eli is capable of opening up with time and softening considerably for the ones they care for. They especially have a soft spot for children, knowing a gentle touch is much better in those cases.

They've spent much of their life travelling rather than settling down in one place, although not for lack of trying. Throughout their life, something has always come up that required them to move, whether it be Rande's appearance or something else. They aren't too keen on sharing the exact details of those 'other' things, but are looking for a place to finally stay for good.

## History

Eli prefers to not speak of their past freely, though they will readily share some aspects of it. They've known Rande since they were young, and knew they wanted to be a doctor from an early age. They don't keep in touch with any family other than their uncle, who raised them, and was the inspiration for them becoming a doctor. After a misunderstanding with Rande, they chose to move away, and moved several times after this to get away from him. It seems they never could, though, even after coming to Crop Haven...

## Relationships

### **Rande**

Rande and Eli have a complicated past- One with early beginnings. Eli has moved several times over their life in an attempt to get away from the pirate captain (or so they claim), whom they've known for most of their life. They ended up in Crop Haven at some point, after learning he was banned from the kingdom (which is something he doesn't exactly care about the details of). The reasons for this are simple: Eli confessed to Rande when they were younger... Except Rande somehow didn't ever pick up on the fact it was romantic and Eli, after realizing this, decided it would be easier to just leave and never meet him again than live with this one-sided embarrassment. This was rather futile, however, as they ended up meeting him time and time again anyways.

Eli doesn't seem to harbor any real ill will towards Rande- Simply embarrassment. In fact, if you were to ask them their feelings on him, they would admit to still having a soft side for him. It's just that looking him in the eyes after that kind of misunderstanding is a little too much.

They're one of the few people to call him by his full first name, Randevous, rather than his nickname or title.

### **Doc**

Although Eli is technically his senior in both age and experience, they work as an assistant to Crop Haven's main doctor. The two get along in a... Different way, with both usually pointing out the other's bad habits and pushing for the other to do better, while they themselves don't make any significant changes. Their relationship is decent nonetheless.
