## Biography

### Overview

Elizabeth was born into a Baron family that has recently gained its status. She is the only child of her parents and hence the heir to their estates. Elizabeth's father and mother are both mages.

As a mage, Elizabeth possessed mana sense from birth.

### Earlier Years

Elizabeth was born on the 30th of Vartiid, with her father being Baron Clement Beaufort, a mage-knight of Silai and his wife, lady Eva Beaufort. Her birth was a matter of happiness for her parents, who had tried for a number of years for a child and had not succeeded. The girl was known to already be adorable as a child and her parents lavished her with care and attention.

Elizabeth was given the best education her parents could provide. While they personally taught her magic, they also hired a private tutor to teach her various subjects. Elizabeth wasn't the easiest girl to teach, as she could be slow on the uptake at times. However, she put in effort into most of the things she had to learn, even if she disliked it. Elizabeth did throw tantrums occasionally as a child, when things got too hard for her, but she would always apologize to her parents and tutor.

Elizabeth was always encouraged to interact with others as a child and she was given adequate time to socialize and play with others by her parents, who often took her to see family friends. She knows many sons and daughters of various nobles because of such interaction sessions. Some of these people would go on to become her future schoolmates at the Skysword Imperial Academy that she later attended. Elizabeth was tested for elemental alignment when young. Other than a rather high affinity for Earth Magic, she had no other elemental alignments and hence her parents decided to send her to a Mage-Knight training institute rather than an Elementalist Institute.

Elizabeth awakened her Grimoire Spirit when she was about twelve, which is rather average for a mage. Her parents had a metal vessel constructed to hold her Grimoire Spirit once this occurred. Elizabeth started training to use a sword after she acquired her Spirit Weapon, to supplement her magic education and prepare her to entry into a Mage-Knight training institute. She still privately trained in using earth based magic under her tutor, who also gave her the Earth Wall spell. Through referrals and her own performance, Elizabeth managed to secure a place in the prestigious Skysword Imperial Academy.

### Going to Skysword Imperial Academy

Elizabeth enrolled in Skysword when she came of age, since she didn't skip any levels when younger. She had rather average performance when it came to her academic subjects, with her best scores being generally in History, Geography and Literature. Elizabeth's weakest subject was her sciences, although she did relatively well in her mathematics and magic theory. Elizabeth's physical performance was also rather average for the girls that enrolled in Skysword, although she was never the worst in anything.

Elizabeth became known through the school not because of her talent, but because she was extremely beautiful when compared to the various other ladies that attended Skysword. Her name therefore spread around the school, with many clubs and interest groups wanting her to join them. Her appearance and positive attitude made many want her as a spokesperson, although Elizabeth was quite shy regarding public speaking and didn't have much confidence because of her mediocre skills.

## Traits

### Appearance

Elizabeth is known to have long, silky blonde hair that is slightly past her shoulders in length. Her hair is mostly straight, except closer to the tips, where it is slightly wavy. Elizabeth never needs to tie her hair up or style it, so it always hangs around her face.

Elizabeth has reddish pink eyes, which gives her a softer gaze than if her irises were a vivid crimson. Her eyes are beautifully shaped and large, even for a female. Elizabeth's eyes have long eyelashes and her eyes do not slope inwards or outwards. She has double eyelids and fine, thin eyebrows.

Elizabeth has a rounded face, with a small, sharp chin and relatively high cheekbones. Her face, despite its shape, is not actually fat and has an overall slim profile. Elizabeth has a slim, sharp nose. Her cheeks are well contoured and she does not have prominent jawbones. A faint pink blush is always present on her cheeks. She has a small mouth, with bright pink lips.

Elizabeth's fair skin is mostly blemish free, save for a small beauty spot near her left eye. She has the build of a woman who engages in regular exercise, although her body is only somewhat toned and not muscular in the slightest. Elizabeth has a large bust, wide hips and rounded bottom. When coupled with her slim waist and lack of any sagging skin, it gives her a beautiful and voluptuous figure.

### Personality

Elizabeth is a generally upbeat and optimistic individual. She consistently tries her best in all that she does and puts her best foot forward. She tends to look on the bright side of things, although she is aware of her own limitations regarding magic and combat arts. Elizabeth is normally ready to help others and she treats most of her peers with a friendly attitude and with respect. She does not look down on those who have a lower status than her and will accord them respect as well.

Elizabeth believes that constant effort can actually help her succeed in her academia and magic. She has average grades despite studying very hard. Also, Elizabeth's rate at which she masters magic is also limited and she has to put in more effort to get the same results compared to some of her more talented peers. However, Elizabeth has never allowed this to get her down and continues to persevere so she can become a better Mage-Knight.

Elizabeth thinks it is important to have friends, and will make an effort to connect with others that she has to spend a lot of time with. She can be quite trusting at times, but other times she may be a bit shy. She tends to prefer non violent modes of interactions. Elizabeth is known to dislike fighting, but sees it as a necessity in some situations, because of her education and upbringing as a mage-knight.

Elizabeth is easily embarrassed and flustered over things such as her relationships or the way she does some things. She is known to get evasive and shy if questioned about several matters that she considered private, but will not snap at others because of it. Elizabeth is also known to blush easily if she is teased by others and she doesn't do a good job of concealing what she is thinking about.

As Elizabeth only had combat simulation in Skysword Imperial Academy and she didn't actually kill people before, she finds killing enemies difficult at times. Elizabeth would prefer not to kill if she could avoid it and she doesn't feel at ease if she is to take lives.

## Abilities

### Innate

As a human, Elizabeth is strongly attuned to magic and mystic powers. She is naturally able to cast spells with an increased efficiency. Her innate elemental alignment is towards Earth based spells, allowing her to use Earth based magic via spell spirits.

Elizabeth also has the human ability to recast her last used spells for reduced cost. She can also generate ranged attacks by swinging any kind of weapon. However, Elizabeth's mana pool is not very large and this can impede her spellcasting.

Because of her attitude and her own training, Elizabeth is able to move for prolonged period and does not get slowed down even if she is hurt.

### Foundational

As a full fledged mage, Elizabeth has mastered the use of mana manipulation, allowing her to freely control and expel the mana in her body with minimal thoughts or conscious use. She has three vitakinetic channels, allowing her high resistance to poisons and diseases.

Elizabeth has no issues with reinforcement and is in fact quite proficient in it. She can perform both static and dynamic reinforcement, although she still has some way to go before she can bring out the maximum strength possible for her body.

### Physical

Elizabeth has practiced some swordsmanship, as she was trained in the Skysword Imperial Academy. Her skill in the area is more than adequate for dealing with most basic threats, although she wouldn't be considered a true magic swordswoman given her still limited skill in the area.

Elizabeth is also able to react fast to threats and avoid them using her reinforcement in conjunction with movement and her special magic, given this was part of her training. She is also able to perform basic unarmed combat with some efficacy.

### Magical

Elizabeth has the ability to use a dimensional storage, hence she doesn't have to pack items into a bag or similar for transport. She has an innate alignment with the Earth Element and is able to cast multiple earth based spells because of this.

Elizabeth knows an attunement method which allows her to rapidly draw mana into her body if she is not in combat and able to focus. This has ensured she is always topped up between battles and she has no issues with casting spells as long as she is allowed adequate rest.

### Non Combat

Elizabeth has some abilities that stem from her natural advantages which are not useful in combat:

* As Elizabeth is beautiful and innocent in appearance, she tends to get better prices with male shopkeepers

## Spirits and Equipment

### Spirit Sword Penthesilea

Penthesilea is Elizabeth's Grimoire Spirit. She grants Elizabeth the ability to double the parameter of anything she targets, for a proportionate mana cost. Hence, Elizabeth cannot target parameters that are too high or the doubling cost will be prohibitive for her. She also cannot stack the doubling on itself to achieve exponential power increase.

Penthesilea's metal vessel is an arming sword.

### Sunsinger Oriole

Elizabeth owns a Sunsinger Oriole as her Spirit Beast. This is a bird that is capable of emitting a powerful healing field that can constantly ease the pain and regenerate the health of everyone designated by Elizabeth. The bird itself is a flying creature that can flash across short distances as a ray of light, allowing it to be used as a scout, although Elizabeth doesn't do this.

### Miscellaneous Spirits

Elizabeth, as a skilled earth elementalist, owns multiple earth based spirits that she uses to support her allies in combat. She has the following spirits:

* Earth Wall - A spirit that causes a wall of Earth to erupt from the ground, creating a protective barrier from attacks. Elizabeth has modified the spell so she can turn the wall into a rolling boulder with a second use of mana.
* Earthen Barrier - A floating wall of stone, Elizabeth is able to use this to protect from aerial attacks. She can also use the spell further to send the wall flying at the enemy for heavy impact damage. Elizabeth can also change the coordinates of the wall freely.
* Shattering Rocks - Elizabeth sends multiple stone bullets flying at a target. The stone bullets will fracture violently on contact with what they are supposed to damage, releasing shrapnel explosively to stagger the opponent. Has a minor area of effect.

Elizabeth also owns a water spirit to produce clean water and a flame spirit to start fires.

### Equipment

Elizabeth wears light armor when travelling, because she requires some help in mitigating damage that her body takes if she is hit by attacks. She has multiple sets of clothing in her Dimensional Storage and can change accordingly to fit the situation. As a student of Skysword Imperial Academy, she has both their daily and formal uniforms.
