IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Elize Lutus Age: 12 Canon: Tales of Xillia Canon Point: End of Tales of Xillia Species: Human Gender: Female Orientation: Elize spent a lot of time in seclusion, and though her journey with the others helped her open up to people, her idea of attraction isn't very well developed. She has a crush on Jude, but she doesn't have much basis for it other than the fact that he was her first best friend. But she does have a dream to get married some day. Her preference is for guys. She probably wouldn't understand being married to another girl.
History: A lot of Elize's early memories have been forgotten. Only when she returns to a familiar town does she begin to learn about her past.
Her parents were killed when she was very little by a bandit, and she was found and sold by a woman who turned over orphans to laboratories that were studying the technology of Boosters. Elize was a specimen they were particularly proud of, as she had a closeness with her Booster 'Teepo' that no one else had managed to come even close to.
In the early stages of the game, when Milla, Jude and Alvin first encounter Elize, it's in the small town of Hamil, where she was told to stay in a shack in the back of town and never leave. It's because she leaves that she meets the party on their first crossing through Hamil. Jiao, who looks out for her on a number of occassions, is the one who told her not to leave the shack, and protects her. The villagers do not treat her kindly after all. There are a few who try to befriend her, but the general consensus is that she should be shunned.
When the party finds her the second time, it's at the mercy of the townspeople. And it's for that reason that Jude asks she be able to come with them - at least until they can find her a better home. However, she and Teepo prove to be more than dead weight when they show what they're capable of, and she ends up tagging along with them for the long haul, with the exception of one short break in which the party separated for a short time after Milla's supposed death.
The group travels to destroy a large Spyrix known as the Lance of Kresnik. Though their enemies change a few times. They fight the Rashugal army for it, only to have the other army stand in their way - desiring to use it. They maintained their own stance and resolved to destroy it.
However, when the issue of a thing known as the Schism came to the forefront as well as the knowledge of a second world - Elympios, their focus shifted. They sought to find a way to protect both worlds - people and spirit alike by destroying the Schism by defeating Maxwell and promoting the use of not Spyrix - which kills spirits - but a new thing known as Spyrites, which does not. Though the concept was in its infancy, they saw it as the only way to help both worlds, and even when it pit them against the Chimeriad and Gaius, they fought for their beliefs... and won.
In the end, they all went their own ways, but kept in contact regularly with letters.
Elize came to live with a friend they met on their journey - Driselle. She gave up Teepo, putting him to sleep, and began going to school and making other friends her age.
Personality: At the start, Elize was a shy, awkward girl with next to no experience communicating with others. The only 'friend' she had was Teepo, a pink and purple talking doll. It seemed at first that the two were completely different. However, the truth is that while Teepo may have it's own way of saying things not unlike a personality, Teepo is notedly used by Elize often as someone who says the things she can't or is afraid to. Because of her timid personality, Teepo is often the one to dish out insults or cruel words when she has those kinds of feelings towards others. However, she doesn't always agree with the way he says them, which denotes a certain amount of emotion gets lost in translation from her feelings to the things that come out of Teepo's mouth.
While she lacked experience with others or communication skills, that by no means meant that she lacked a desire for them. It was exactly the opposite. Elize was very happy to meet Jude and the others, and became very attached to the idea of having friends and getting to be good friends with them.
She's always nervous the first time she meets someone. But she's also filled with a great curiosity about people. When she gets to know them, she likes the idea of getting to know little things about them like what kinds of food they like. Her speech can often times be found to have stuttering or a pauses in it, but it's improved a lot through her experience with her friends. She's shy and speaks softly, but her confidence has improved. While she still wouldn't brag about anything, she knows that she can be useful somehow to her friends and she believes that her place is with them.
Elize hates liars, and she's not incapable of being mean or holding a grudge. It's less malicious than it is the result of her taking her hurt feelings out the people who she blames for that. Examples include her treatment of Alvin, who betrays the party on multiple occasions and the way she treats everyone after they refused to help go after the memory piece of Teepo's that was taken from the doll. For a long time she does nothing to hide her dislike of Alvin, calling him a big fat liar and generally being rude to him personally and through Teepo. After the incident where Teepo's memory was lost, she became detached and angry at everyone. They were her friends and she blamed them for their inaction, because at the time she couldn't understand their reasoning. She let her hurt get the worst of her and she said a lot of mean things that she later regretted.
While she is still young and makes the mistakes and misunderstandings that a lot of young children do, she also has her own kind of wisdom. It's a simple wisdom, not necessarily linked to smarts as much as it is to emotions. She speaks what she feels a lot, and manages to find a lot of answers that way.
She also enjoys doing "girl things" like going out shopping.
When told stories of a scary nature, she can be a bit naive in believing things that are obviously told just to mess with her, such as the tale that wyverns snack on the souls of little children. Her reactions are usually entertaining in that she gets skittish and jumpy.
The girl is quick on her feet.
Elize is strong in the sense that, while she may be fragile, she's full of determination. Even if she gets knocked down or gets confused and isn't sure what to do next, Elize always tries her hardest to get back up and keep moving forward. She also has a great deal of heart, being the first to sit down with Alvin after all of his screw ups and be willing to try and understand him as well as offer him her friendship again. If you open up to her on an emotional level, even if you screw up - she's likely to show at least some sympathy. She also understands the feeling of being alone, with no one else on your side - and tends to take the side of those who have no one else in their corner.
Abilities: Elize is a master of abilities called artes, and performs a wide range of them with the assistance of her best friend Teepo - a booster. She's capable of performing strong artes and melee attacks. Her weapon is a wand that prioritizes the strength of artes, as opposed to physical. By itself, they are just differently decorated short sticks meant to help people channel mana and make their attacks even stronger.
When linked with someone, her partner ability is 'Teepo Drain', in which Teepo takes energy from enemies and converts it into HP and TP for her linked partner.
Other: At the end of the game, Elize puts Teepo away in a box - a step towards independence - a sign that she wants to learn to speak for herself and grow a little stronger still.
Third Person: From inside the shop, if you glance out the front window for a moment, you might catch a blond head of hair and then a small face peering in from the outside. Elize had come shopping with her family, but they had gone their separate ways, each having their own things to buy. So Elize had shyly been browsing from the outside, different buildings that caught her eye. This one, however, it was the smells that really caught her attention. With at least an hour remaining before she needed to meet up with her family again, she decided to check it out for herself.
It was a cute cafe with adorable interior design and a lot of delicious smells coming from the inside. It was fairly busy, and full of different customers chatting away or enjoying their orders. Elize heard her tummy rumble and decided to step inside the Honeybee Cafe and get a little something to snack on.
After she was handed a small, cute bag with her pastry, she looked around anxiously for a place to sit. Sitting by herself was pretty much out of the question. So she rocked on her toes, took a deep breath, and gathered her courage to find someone friendly looking that she might be able to sit with.
"Um... excuse me. Do you mind if I sit here?" Her eyes shift a little, nervously, but she stands her ground, a small smile on her lips. If she wanted to make new friends she would have to be the one to reach out.
OTHER Housing Request?: I'd like it if she could be in a house close to her canonmates but it isn't necessary. Did you read the rules and FAQ?: Yes Would you like your application to be unscreened?: Sure
