Elizabeth Wilkes

(With hair down)

## About

Elizabeth is an Italian-American girl who is known to sow chaos and get into trouble wherever she goes. She has Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). She suffers from frequent severe nosebleeds and has a distaste for anything and everything "boring."

## Appearance

Elizabeth has curly dark brown hair that is almost always tied up in pigtails. Elizabeth has blue eyes, freckles, and a tanned complexion. She wears an orange sweatshirt and denim overalls with large pockets (for holding all their junk!) It also wears black and white striped tights and no shoes. Elizabeth is somewhat taller than average for a kid her age, though she normally slouches or sits in awkward positions making it hard to judge her real height. It is common for Elizabeth to be seen with a couple colorful band aids scattered around her face, arms or legs.

## Personality

Powered by an undying, ever intense curiosity driving her, Elizabeth will go anywhere and everywhere and especially places she shouldn't be. It doesn't take no for an answer, and if they want it, she'll find a way to get it. She's always looking for new things to see, collect, and do and hardly ever sits still. Most definitely a thrill seeker, and she most definitely gets in trouble frequently for her wanderlust. Crafty and a natural escape artist, Lizzy has broken out of numerous straight jackets and can outrun most grown adults, which is only the start of their more problematic behaviors. It has a terrible temper, and will lash out, stomp her feet, or bite (yes, literally) when upset.

Overall, Lizzy is a strange child.  Not just in it's behaviors, but also just as she is. Lizzy tends to be seen hiding a lot, though really not out of fear, though its unclear why she does it otherwise, but she's always observing anyone around her when she does. She also talks a lot about nonsensical things, yet acts like they make perfect sense. Lizzy even tends to act a bit feral, with the aforementioned biting as well as hissing at people unironically when mad. While Elizabeth gets along well enough with others around her age, she never quite seems to fit in or connect properly with them. She's socially inept and more often than not prefers alone time rather than time engaging with other children, despite an obvious desire for socialization. Lizzy describes herself as "not quite human enough to belong anymore," as reasoning for her ostracization from her (very few available) peers.

## Biography

Touched by a cosmic power at the age of 8, they have been gifted with the ability to travel between the current and other planes of reality (see Dimension 2). This is a skill Lizzy has been working hard to master, and the more time she spends in a world other than her own, the more it has begun to rub off on her, leaving her with occasional abilities that effect the world around her, though she has no idea how to really control these. (It can levitate itself, produce visual/audio disturbances to others, as well as distort the world around itself when emotional, such as misshaping solid objects with a look, as well as demonstrating general telekinetic abilities.) Elizabeth, when first gifted this power from the energy of a dying eldritch entity she encountered in her dreams, went on to use this ability carelessly and accidentally invited some entity she shouldn't have into her world. Blinded with panic and the inability to see the entity properly for more than a brief glimpse, she ended up stabbing her mom with a kitchen knife trying to attack the creature, killing her. Panicked by the realization, Lizzy stumbled back and knocked over her birthday cake on the kitchen counter, the small colorful candles distorting from her abilities and melting into a large pile of wax that quickly engulfed the nearby curtains and rest of the house in flames. When recovered from the house fire, her explanation and following psychiatric test deemed her unstable, and Elizabeth was committed to the children's psychiatric facility her father worked at.

For the following 2 years, they were given various medications and tests and suffered a lot of abusive behavior at the hands of poorly trained staff. At the age of 10, Elizabeth escaped and has spent the past year up to her 11th birthday wandering between dimensions and realities exploring, as well as trying to find her way back home more recently.
