Personality: Eloise can be very childish, or child-like, more appropriately. She'll often do things like speak in the third person, use baby-talk, or even pout when she doesn't get something she wants. She can be a bit stubborn at times, when she's made her mind up to do something, but she isn't completely unreasonable. When she gets comfortable with someone, she can tend to act a bit bratty, though this is usually more playful than outright bratty. She's typically fairly reserved around people she's only just met, however, being scared of how people might react to her personality, or just what they might think of her. Despite her shyness, she's more than willing to go out of her way to help people when they need it, and she is generally a nice person. When it comes to those that she's comfortable with, Eloise is generally very playful and affectionate, and is selfless almost to a fault, doing her best to make those around her happy. Eloise has a special fondness for animals, especially cats, and if given the opportunity she would keep one around her at all times. In fact, Eloise usually goes out of her way to pet any animal she comes across, and always finds something to like about every animal she meets (except spiders). She can be easily frightened, this being the reason for her dislike of spiders in particular, and this even plays into her shyness a bit. Despite this timid nature, however, Eloise is fairly independent, preferring to make her own choices rather than just be bossed around.

When it comes to working under a 'leader', Eloise tends to be impulsive and even mildly oppositional from time to time, depending on the leader. She's willing to admit when she makes a mistake, but that doesn't always stop her from making them in the first place. As a leader, Eloise is caring and almost motherly towards her subordinates, but she has a bad habit of hesitating too much and not being willing to make decisions that would cause her people to get hurt, even when it would be necessary to accomplish their goals. In general though, Eloise prefers a position of partnership, without requiring a leader at all. In combat, Eloise aims to restrain or incapacitate, rather than kill, and always does her best not to have to hurt someone more than absolutely necessary. Eloise doesn't really tend to plan things out particularly well, and she'll start to panic if she does something wrong simply out of impulsiveness, berating herself and losing confidence as more mistakes happen, but if given a sufficient shock to her system, she can pull herself out of this 'slump'. When lives are on the line, there's a 50/50 chance that she simply clams up due to all the pressure, or knuckles down, becoming extremely serious and goal-oriented. When she becomes goal-oriented like this, she holds back a bit less, simply doing everything in her power to make the badness go away. If this is the case during a fight, after the violence ends she usually collapses and clams up, similar to how she would have acted under pressure.
Likes:

• Animals. Eloise is likely to even shove past someone in order to go see the cute puppy over there.
  
• Sweets. Pretty much anything sweet. Really. Like, candy, pancakes, birthday cake, whatever really.
  
• Strong people. This has to do with her indecisive nature; Despite her desire to remain independent, Eloise loves being around strong, goal-oriented people who look after her. She especially likes those that can put up with, and even tame, her bratty nature.
  

Dislikes:

• Spiders. She doesn't really fear spiders, but despite her love for animals in general, these little guys are excluded. Just... Way too creepy.
  
• Raw Vegetables. These are basically the opposite of sweet things, and as such Eloise is strongly opposed to them.
  
• Heat. Eloise does really, really well in the cold; but not so much in the heat. Environmental heat makes her feel tired, and can even put her in a fairly bad mood.
  

Motivations:

• Making people happy. Eloise loves to help others and do everything she can to cheer people up when they're down.
  
• Protecting her friends. Eloise works hard to be strong enough, and brave enough, to keep her friends safe. This includes animals.
  
• To become as good a mage as her mother. Eloise's mother was once a very powerful ice mage, and seeing how her mother was able to defend her friends, as well as Eloise herself, motivated Eloise to follow the same path as her mother had in life.
  

Fears:

• Darkness. Eloise has never really liked the dark, but if asked it'd be very difficult for her to explain why.
  
• Being alone. Eloise, despite her independence and shyness, has always felt the need to be around others.
  
• Mistakes. Particularly her own. Eloise is already self-conscious enough without having actual proof that she's doing something wrong.

Hair: Long, strawberry blond hair. Usually kept in twin tails.

Skin Tone: Extremely pale, almost like porcelain.
Appearance: Eloise has an almost child-like appearance, not surprising considering she's only 16, but still far more petite than you'd expect from a girl of her age. She enjoys wearing frills, lace, and lots of different dresses depending on the occasion. She wears ribbons in her hair, and tends to emphasize her child-like physique on purpose, seeming to enjoy that aspect of her appearance more than anything else. She prefers blues and purples, but that's by no means the extent of her wardrobe. Her eyes are her best feature, due to their somewhat unique, and rather pretty color, as well as their soft and innocent nature.
