## Biography

### Early life (1567-1581)

Elsbeth's House, House Pecarom, has been cursed for generations to be haunted by the Curse of Seven whenever a generation bears seven children. As the youngest of the seven siblings of Countess Acelina and Count Gillard of Pecarom, she is the only one out of the siblings who has never known their parents' love, for she is a daily reminder that they failed their one task, to prevent the birth of seven children.

Still, she grew up loved by her older siblings, especially her older brother Alexander who has always felt responsible for his little sisters. He frequently got into fights with their parents, trying to get them to stop being so cruel towards them, for it wasn't their fault that their family was cursed.

She was also the last of her siblings to start attending school and due to her history with her parents, she had difficulties making friends and stuck to her siblings instead.

### Snowrose Academy (1582-1587)

After taking the entrance exams for the Snowrose Academy, she had a consultation with the former headmaster and was advised to join Lodge Evermist, which she accepted gratefully. Over the years, she had watched as each of her siblings started to fall victim to their curses and despite trying to overcome it, her loneliness eventually led to her desperately seeking connection to other people, triggering the Curse of Silver, which manifested in her befriending as many people as possible, but never having a true connection to anyone, because she didn't share her feelings and thoughts with them.

That was until she met Leviathan in her third year and slowly started to get closer to her. However, their close friendship and her growing feelings for her were still not enough to make her change and leave behind all the shallow friendships she made throughout the years. The thing that ultimately allowed her to lift the curse off herself was the heartbreak she faced when Leviathan confessed to her that she was a Dragonborne. Scared of what people might think, she immediately stopped talking to her and spent the last few years of school pining after her. Due to the heartbreak, she couldn't stand being around the same shallow people anymore and despite being lonely, she finally reflected on the last few years and became aware of all the things she did wrong.

### Early Adulthood (1588-1595)

Elsbeth was the last of the siblings to graduate from the Snowrose Academy, yet she was the one who opened the family's second official business, Impeccable Potions, a potion shop in Crownsquare. She hired her older sisters, Ninette and Varina and the three of them co-owned the potions shop from then on. They were also in contact with their other sisters who were now the owners of the Iron Tailory, however they had all lost contact with their eldest brother who had gotten caught up with his wife and his children and was the only one out of them to still be haunted by his sin.

One day, while working, a familiar face stumbled into the potion shop and she immediately recognized a hurt Leviathan. She confessed to her that after graduation, she had been taken into captivity and that the ministry had experimented on her. She had only escaped due to the kindness of a servant. Elsbeth immediately took care of her wounds and finally confessed to herself that she couldn't live without her soulmate any longer, and she invited her to stay with her and her sisters at their cottage.
