Elizabeth Abbot

Elizabeth Abbot is a Player Character in KC By Night. She is the daughter of famous fashion designer, Nathaniel Abbot. She works as a model and up-and-coming designer herself, seemingly having the perfect life. Perfect career, perfect fiance, perfect home, perfect everything. But hidden beneath that perfection is a beast, born into Clan Toreador.

## Mortal Life

Elizabeth (Liz) Abbot was born in Montpellier, France to famous fashion designer Nathaniel Abbot and model Amélie Abbot. They moved to Kansas City, MO shortly after, where they lived as a somewhat happy family, though her father wasn't around much. She and her mother were close, though died when Liz was seven years old, leaving her with a father who was always away.

Despite her father's physical absence, everything in her life was decided by him. Her modeling career, a majority of her friendships, and even her engagement to fellow model, Carter Brooks. Liz had tried many things to try to reclaim her life without confronting her father, whom she's always been afraid of displeasing. She turned to stealing, taking precious art from others in the dead of the night and keeping it for herself.

Working alongside a man named Marcus Greene, she would often volunteer at the *Nelson Atkins Museum of Art* in order to acquire information on specific pieces and their whereabouts to make it easier to steal in the future. Liz grew talented in the art of thievery, but hid those talents behind the mask of a model.

## Embrace

Elizabeth had met up with her fiance, Carter Brooks, at *The* *Melting Pot* for lunch. There her father, Nathaniel Abbot, surprised her after being away in Dubai headlining his clothing line with some investors. He wasn't meant to be home for another few weeks, but she was happy to get the chance to see him, and didn't question it. At lunch, Nathaniel told her that he got the three of them invited to a party at Shirley and Barnett Helzberg's house that coming Friday, January 1st. He informed her that many past and currently powerful people in Kansas City would be in attendance.

On the night of the party, Elizabeth got a personal tour of the Helzberg's home by Mr. Barnett Helzberg himself. She also met several people, one of which being Charles Dawson, an architect who claimed to have worked on the newest wing of the Nelson Atkins museum. Elizabeth, knowing that there wasn't a new wing, became curious of Mr. Dawson, wondering why he would lie about such a thing. He wasn't old enough to have made the newest wing. Later in the night they got talking, and Charles invited Elizabeth to come with him to see a "beautiful view", not giving her anymore details. She declined and went to speak with her father, who was incredibly drunk at the time. While they spoke, she became extremely dizzy and was unable to control her actions. She got in her car and drove to *One Kansas City Place*, got into the elevator and rode up to the top floor where she once again saw Charles Dawson.

Charles Dawson, who turned out to be a kindred in Clan Toreador, used dominate and forced Elizabeth to stare out the window for a total of 7 hours before he killed and embraced her. The following night, the night of her first Elysium, he had someone drop her off at the coterie house. He hadn't explained anything to her. She was just dropped off, covered in blood, and expected to party the night away without screwing up.

## Relationships

### Carter Brooks

Elizabeth and Carter practically grew up together. They both entered the modeling world at the same time (around age 13), and quickly became friends. They went to the same private schools and started dating in high school. It was fun at first in Liz's eyes, but their relationship became dull and almost unbearable as they got older and Carter's modeling career began to really take off. Elizabeth felt trapped in the relationship, and it only got worse once they got engaged after her father requested it. The engagement was called off after Elizabeth was embraced and considered "missing" for over a month.

Carter Brooks was temporarily ghouled by Elizabeth in an attempt to save his life after fellow coterie mate, Kate King, lost control of her beast and almost drained him completely. Though the situation was quickly taken care of with the help of her sire. She ended up cutting ties with him, though she plans on keeping eyes on him just in case something were to happen.

### Charles Dawson

Charles Dawson is Liz's sire and is currently grooming her to become the next Toreador Primogen. They have what she calls a "complicated relationship". Neither one of them seemed to like the other at first. Liz felt that he abandoned her right after her embrace, as he had someone drop her off at the coterie house, leaving the explanation of what she was to a couple of fledglings. Then, only when she was taking too long to figure out what to do about the situation with her father did he step in and start taking some responsibility. Recently though, he's been a bit nicer to her. There's a long way to go before she forgives him, but perhaps these are steps in the right direction.

### Ian McIntosh

The two haven't spent that much time together, so they don't have much of a relationship. Though they have spoke fashion and business on a few occasions, and really seemed to hit it off then. Elizabeth admires Ian's tenacity and determination for success. She sees him as an asset that will strongly benefit the coterie and herself in return. So she tries to be as gracious as possible to the new member.

## Clan

Liz is a part of Clan Toreador, and is currently the youngest of them in Kansas City.

### Lineage

* Elizabeth Abbot
* Charles Dawson
* Vanessa Villanova

### Feeding Preference

Liz is a Bagger predator, meaning she procures cold blood rather than going out and hunting. Though she's incredibly secretive with feeding this way, as it's not exactly the usual Toreador way, so she often feeds on the most fashionable and beautiful kine when she can't feed alone.
