Elizabeth Milton
Elizabeth is a tender and caring person, but she may have some firm opinions that cannot be changed. However, these can sometimes equate strength of character. She is sensible and patient, and could be compared to Mother Earth in every sense of the word—she can be placid, but also extremely stubborn with explosive temper, although slow to ignite. However, this tumultuous temper is rarely seen, as Elizabeth aims for balance and harmony in her life. She loves nature and desires nothing more than to live in comfortable and colorful surroundings.
Even though Elizabeth is clever, she is not interested in proving herself an intellectual for its own sake, and she will be content to let her friends shine while she provides convivial environments in which to do so. She favors security and heart's ease, thus she will go through life planting and nurturing seeds and will patiently wait for them to take root. This is because Elizabeth is mostly unadventurous, and too much change can be a threat. She is more likely to get into a rut, preferring to preserve the status quo, so that alteration in her life comes slowly or from outside sources. However, whenever new experiences impose, Elizabeth learns quickly and never makes the same mistake twice. Her appeal is luring, mystery, and earthly sensuality and practicality. Her primary challenges are sharing and change.
Elizabeth loves treats and will respond to sweetness and light much better than to anything else. There is passion lying underneath the calm and stable façade, she simply has not unlocked it for the world to see. She is passionate and always tender, seductive and will pamper her partner both in the bedroom and outside of it. Affectionate and sensual, she enjoys the romantic thrill of courtship, but rarely rushes into a relationship. Her relationships may take quite a while to get off the ground, as she carefully thinks about all the ramifications of intimacy with her partner before she commits herself. She is very generous with her partner, and although she is somewhat self-centered, Elizabeth often puts the needs of someone she loves above her own. She does not need as much excitement as other women.
It is difficult to truly anger Elizabeth, as she has a way of shrugging things off that others might react negatively to. She is nurturing and cares for her loved ones in a surprisingly romantic way, given her logical way of dealing with the rest of her life. However, she has her limits, and her loved ones must learn what these are and strive to never push beyond them. The gentle, thoughtful demeanor they have grown accustomed to can transform into a driving force of fury. But, when it comes to attraction, her secret weapon is serenity. There is a composed, peaceful, and patient quality to her that is unmistakable and irresistible to many. Most people sense that she is solid, never desperate, or overly needy—she is genuine.
History
Elizabeth was born in 1912, Grantham, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom to John and Anne Milton. Her father was a local Councilman and renowned author, and her mother a housemaid. Due to her father's position in the community, Elizabeth had the opportunity to attend school. Shortly thereafter, her parents and teachers noticed that whatever the girl read or heard she could recall with pinpoint accuracy. At first they simply assumed that she had an extraordinary memory, but when Elizabeth could rewrite a book she had but read once, suspicion of Witchcraft of possession rose. In 1921, Elizabeth's parents arranged for their daughter to see a priest, and talk. After the session, the priest admitted that he could not identify any signs of demonic possession or works of Witchcraft. Regardless of his findings, the priest reported the session to his superiors by noting "otherworldly memory".
In 1931, Elizabeth was accepted into the University of Oxford. Her parents, especially her father, pleaded their daughter to study mathematics and physics, but she chose another path. Elizabeth's major became philosophy. In 1937, she received her postgraduate Doctor of Philosophy degree, specializing in metaphysics. Shortly after this achievement, the priest that spoke with her as a child came to her doorstep in Oxford. He carried a message, an invitation to extraordinary and meaningful work. The priest revealed that he was a member of the Covenant of Peace, and he had kept his eye on her ever since they met in Grantham.
The following months were to be most interesting, indeed. Due to her uncanny memory and education, Elizabeth was trained and prepared for the Ordinis Sancti Percute in the wake of the Covenant's public display. While her specialization did not include an extensive ordeal of combat training, it did involve a number of heavy subjects such as investigation, decorum, and religious history and mysticism. The revelation of occult entities was not as shocking to Elizabeth as it would have been to a normal person—being a scholar of metaphysics tends to form an open mind.
