| Description

|
xxxxx Elizabeth is a red skinned woman of 6'3" in height, with a relatively slim and yet still muscularly defined build. She possesses horns and a small tail, something she has had since birth. It is unknown if the tail can support her weight though. She seems to weigh about 190 pounds, judging by her build. She also has claws, that is, nails that are much sharper than normal nails, and act as such. Her eyes are also completely golden, including the sclerae, and seem to glow in low-light, though this may just be a reflection of light. She also possesses long wings, similar to those of a raven, making her look more similar to a fallen angel.

xxxxx Well known around the Evolve cafe pre-Freaktown as she regularly stopped to get tea there. At least, well known by some members of the staff. While she does not stop around as often as she used to, she is still a regular of the cafe. She may also be known to members of the Morlocks, as she has become a sort of welcomed-in member of their little group, given shelter after the events of Freaktown, though who she knows and how much is unknown.

| History
|
|
xxxxx Born in Salem, Massachusetts, Elizabeth's parents were horrified by her mutation. The obvious physical traits set her out from the others, and there was debate of whether or not they'd raise her at all. Despite that, her mother states that even if she 'saw her as an abomination to god', she was still going to raise her child. Elizabeth's father left, unwilling to raise an obvious mutant child. Which is strange, considering both were mutants, and should not have been prejudiced against the obvious mutant child. It is instead more likely that Elizabeth's father merely saw the circumstances under which his child would have to live, and was not willing to suffer through that for her benefit, despite Elizabeth being the one who would truly suffer.
Elizabeth's mother did the bare minimum to raise her, giving her slop as food, which only served to provide the barest of nutritional value, and left her with complications that were noticed by CPS and her teachers at school, who, surprisingly, despite her obvious mutant status, decided to actually step up and do an investigation. Finding her mother guilty of child neglect after a months long investigation, she was separated from her, and placed into the foster care system at the age of 12. She made easy friends with the other girls, but soon lost them due to her own behavior, too focused on her own self preservation to be nice to these girls. A year later, her wings mutation manifested, and she was unaware of how to control it. This only made finding a foster home a bit harder, and although she did eventually find several, many were unwilling to work with this uncontrollable mutation and the violence that was directed at their home for openly adopting a mutant.
While many of these foster families were supportive, much more so than her biological family, they simply were not equipped to handle a mutant child of her caliber. This caused Elizabeth to lose any sense of family, something she is still searching for, a found family that will provide for her, but also allow her to provide for them.
With practice, Elizabeth managed to control her mutation, and this came all too late for any foster families, as it took her six years on her own between families to get it down. She aged out of the foster system and was left on her own (albeit with some resources) to make it in a world that hated obvious mutants such as herself.
She survived for several years on her own, bouncing between simple jobs that kept her out of the public eye, though she struggled to find anything at all, even though she graduated high school. College wasn't for her, so that limited her options. Most jobs wanted at least a bachelor's degree, and nothing of the sort interested Elizabeth, wanting more esoteric jobs. She was briefly a tarot reader, a stocker at a grocery store, she tried art for a bit but never got anywhere, and even went the musician route, but again, never found success. Eventually, her search took her to New York, vastly shortening the travel time by flight, though it left her without energy for three days, in which she slept in an alleyway. Frustrated with her lack of success, she took to saying screw it, and living on as little as possible, surviving thanks to mutant friendly establishments. She's currently unemployed, but now has a bit to make it if need be, thanks to mutant friendly communities and establishments giving her donations.
Post Freaktown crisis, Elizabeth was left traumatized, and struggles to pick up the pieces of herself that were left on that day. She doesn't have the resources to seek therapy, and struggles to find mutant-accepting support groups that may offer free counseling.

xxxxx Elizabeth possesses the ability to fly, in which she sprouts wings and, well, flies. Her wings resemble that of a raven, with feathers, not like a bat's, which do not have feathers. They are exactly 25 feet in length, or four refrigerators, if you cared to stack four refrigerators next to each other. Currently, Elizabeth can fly for about four miles continuously at low speed due to the increased effort it takes. Her top flight speed is about 25 miles per hour, the same as a raven. Using this speed, she can cover about 100 miles of flight time before needing rest.
She also has claws, well, nails that are sharper than the average human's. They extend slightly past her fingers and toes (though not at a dangerous level for herself), and can be used to attach herself to walls by sticking them into a wall. For this reason, she doesn't usually wear shoes, and if she does, they're thin boots, only protective enough to protect from debris on the ground.

xxxxx Being that Elizabeth has done, well, basically everything, she is skilled in tarot reading, has a proficient understanding of English, Italian, and Arabic (mainly from her time as a grocery stocker, she had coworkers of Arabic and Italian background and wanted to make an attempt to communicate with them). She is also a talented violinist from her time trying out a musician career, but it was a secondhand violin and was unfortunately destroyed when she fell down some stairs. She has a slight proficiency with drawing, but has not gotten to practice in some time, and preferred portraits, which was an easy way for her to make money.

- Taylor from Evolve. He often made her tea, though she never got to know him on a personal level. While kind-hearted, she never attempted to make conversation with him. He also welcomed her into the Morlock tunnels during the Freaktown crisis. She has him to thank among others for saving her life.
