Eliza "Sorbus" Winters

=• Amongst the Night •=

Growing up as a human in Mayville is not a simple task, as hot spot for vampire activity, you always have to watch your back. At 6, Elli lost both her parents to a vampire attack, and with no social services in the reclusive town, she went to the streets. She lived in the tree house that had been built for her in the rowan tree (a tree known for its protective powers in lore, and the reason for her nickname) in her backyard for a year, staying hidden and making as little trouble as possible. A man named Logan helped her on various occasions to find food, clothes, and eventually the Winters family, a single mother and her two daughters who were planning to leave Mayville for a safer life. They moved to Victoria, BC in Canada, as far away from the nightmare town as possible without having to leave the continent, where they were able to live a somewhat normal life.

=• Blades and Blood Magic •=

Knowing the dangers that were in the world, Melanie signed the three girls up for training in various weaponry, letting them decided to continue or not at age 13. Eliza continued, deciding to specialize with the blade because of its finesse and accessibility. On her own time she learned blood magic, an ironic and useful ability that worked as a constant reminder of past life and how fortunate she was to have gotten away from it. At least for the time begin.

=• Dance with Dragons •=

At 19 she started a university course in negotiations, working as a courier on the side to make money. One day she got a book with no address, only a name. That name lead her to google, which lead her to a butterfly collector in Seattle, Washington and her weekend on a plane. On her way to her destination she read some of the book. Most of it was in Korean, but bits and pieces were in other languages, although she only understood french and english. The parts she did pick up talked about dragons, Seoul, Korea, and chaos. When she asked the recipient about the book when she delivered it he only said that she would "Understand soon.".

=• Personality •=

Eliza is a very cheerful young woman who is always ready to help. She is disciplined and shows diligence when working on a job. She is always looking into things and learning about the world around her due to her natural curiosity. She loves kids and would love to have some of her own if she weren't so busy with work that she could go out and find someone to date. That and she doesn't want her kids to have the life she did before she met the Winters. When she gets angry, she becomes cold. Her words feel like ice while her eyes shoot daggers, the kind of anger that makes you feel disappointing in yourself.
