Character Name: Eliza Flowers
Age: 19
Species: Human
Character Description:
Age: 19
Species: Human
Character Description:
Long red hair, pale skin, and big sparkling brown eyes. 5"6. Quite skinny.Weapons:
When in uniform, she pushes the very definition of what she can get away with, with very short skirts and high heeled shoes (which she only gets away with because it's one of the things about her that least irritates Wright, and that's saying something!).
When not in uniform, she tends to wear short skirts again but this time with heeled boots or trainers. She also owns far too much pink, but apart from that wears anything fashionably.
Standard police baton.Skills:
No firearms.
An extremely skilled typist, capable of typing at over 100 wpm. She's also very good at English, composing and writing reports, phrasing and sentence structure.Special Abilities:
She's probably the worse recruit in recorded history with a firearm, making sure to complete three steps before ever firing a weapon. Firstly, she shuts her eyes, secondly, she looks away, and then thirdly she screams and pulls the trigger. As such, she's been banned from using firearms.
She's surprisingly vicious with a police baton however, in the way only non-physically intimidating people can be.
She's one of those people who completely and inexplicably causes things to break that she uses. Usually a reason for this can never be found. Things she uses just seem to go wrong.History:
She also has the ability to completely miss the point of anything if it's not made entirely clear. Sarcasm is not a good idea around her, and she's very difficult to insult because she can't usually tell that you've insulted her. If she works it out though, be prepared for tears.
Born and raised to a happy family in Bellepheron, she lived a happy but sheltered life. She was aware of the strange going ons in Edgehaven, like most people, but didn't think they were as bad as everybody described, because she didn't think people were really that 'nasty'.
She went to Bellepheron university at the age of 18 to study English Language, and despite being very good at the subject, she dropped out after finding the university lifestyle not to her liking. (People were out late drinking and then shouting at each other!).
She spent some time looking for a job, and saw that the Edgehaven police department was expanding. Liking the idea of joining the police, she applied and came over to Edgehaven.
Captain Wright described her as 'probably the worse recruit he'd ever seen or would ever see' at first. Not only was she naive and dense, and therefore completely unable to pick up on clues like a good copper should, she seemed to believe exercise was something other people should do, failed the impromptu fitness test Wright set up, came closer to hitting him than a target with a firearm (even though he was stood behind her) and never shut up about things he really wasn't interested in.
Then she asked to demonstrate her typing skills, and given by this point he found it funny, Wright let her. And then he realised he'd just found somebody who could write all the reports for the station, and never have to write one himself ever again.
Despite the annoyances, he took her on under probation. He assigned her to Sergeant Mortymer, who he told to make sure she could pass a basic fitness test before she was allowed on full time. Whether or not he did this because Eleri had been nagging him about his feet on the desk recently or not is entirely open to debate.
Personality wise, Eliza (or Ellie, as she prefers) is bubbly, perky, talkative, girly and excitable. She likes fashion, she really likes jewellery (especially the Beaumont line...), she's proud of her pink smart car she likes to drive everywhere, complete with playboy bunny accessories and pink furry dice (when she hasn't broken it, at least) and she's totally naive.
She also has absolutely no idea of any reasons why she might not get on with the rest of the EHPD...
