Even when she was a baby, Elizabeth was said to be a fighter. Christopher said to his doctor that his daughter was a tough one like her mother. She also seems to be calm and happy. Ben says like her paternal family she is resilient.

She is also seemingly intelligent as she was able to use her magic to turn Kai's car on and off, despite still being a baby.

It seems that Elizabeth has gained one of her father's traits of doing whatever they can to protect their family as she is always offering to help save those she cares about and considers family.

## Relationships

### Christopher Chamberlain

"*Once upon a time, there was a king who fought a war for the most precious treasure in all the kingdom... his beautiful little princess. But, victory came at a price. Allies lost... New enemies made...And so, the king stood alone. Happily ever after, it was not. But, sometimes, even the worst endings are not really endings at all. And, you should know, my littlest witch, that even when all seems burnt to ash-- in our story, there is always another chapter to be told.*"
—Chris to Elizabeth

Christopher is Elizabeth's father and it is shown various times that Christopher strongly cares for his daughter. He then learned that she will have a daughter. As time passed, Christopher grew concerned that because he never had a loving mother in his life, he would not know how to be a good father to his daughter, but eventually that faded and he grew to love the child deeply and is dedicated to protecting her at all costs. This is shown when Genevieve kidnapped Elizabeth, and tried to kill her. Christopher was there and fought for his daughter, and got her back. Christopher made a promise to himself and to Elizabeth that she (Elizabeth) would grow up safe and loved.

He is not giving up on being in his daughter's life quite yet. His love for his daughter brings out the best in Christopher, best seen in his reconciliation with both Kai and Ben. With the child being born, Christopher is becoming the man he used to be. After some time apart from his daughter she returned home. However he remains paranoid as he worries about her safety.

Elizabeth and Chris' bond remain strong during the rest of the series until they were separated due to Christopher sacrificing himself to save his family. But Elizabeth's memory of him was kept alive because of her grandfather telling Elizabeth about her father such as his loyalty to his family, his love for her and his interests that she now shares with him. They were reunited after three years and, despite some initial nervousness on both sides, they shared a lovely day together, it showing just how alike they are. Christopher shared stories from his long life, Elizabeth showed him her magic when she healed a butterfly and they painted together.

Apart from some of the bad things he's done Elizabeth knows what Christopher is and isn't afraid of him. She knows how powerful he is and, because of that, she believes he can keep bad things away. Once he promised that nothing was going to harm her Elizabeth hugged him. Despite their time apart Elizabeth calls Christopher 'Dad', showing that their bond is still strong.

Because of her grandfather telling her about her father Elizabeth deems Christopher her 'fairytale prince'.

### Malachai Chamberlain
