 NOTE WORTHY Fear/Phobia One: She despises being underground in any sense. A basement, a cave, metro subways, etc. The origin of this dates back to when she was still a human and was kept in a crude underground room for the entirety of her lifespan up until she was rescued at the age of seven. This concept of entering such an underground area opens up the possibility of never being able to leave again, never being able to see the sky again. It horrifies her. If she must go into such a place she'll try to put on a strong face/mask but chances are you'll be able to tell something is wrong and she'll be holding onto the hand of whomever is an ally very tightly with a constant slight trembling. Fear/Phobia Two: Claustrophobic. A smaller elevator, etc. Once again, the origin dates back to before she was turned being kept prisoner by a human man. When Elsie would displease him in any way she would be shoved into a long narrow dirt shelf in the wall that was usually used for keeping food or beverages chilled and there she would stay for lengthy periods of time. If she currently finds herself in a small area her mind catapults back to those times of being confined, restricted in movement and struggling to breath. Especially in elevators she'll keep her eyes closed and focus on her breathing to get through the experience. Other than that, this is the more powerful of the two phobias and does have a chance in paralyzing her. ACQUAINTANCES Elsie will come across as an innocent adorable little girl. She has spent literal years worth of hours of her life practicing facial expressions and tones of voice. The average person will not be able to see through her act. She knows what she's doing. An off aura from her or "something isn't right" vibe is logical from someone that is exceptionally sensitive to such things. A psychic individual could also probably tell that she isn't sincere in her actions. But please don't have your character take one glance at my girl and magically know she's a sicko. Kay? Fair enough? Awesome ^0^ She raises her tone to be higher and softer. She'll bat the eyelashes. Use a limited vocabulary. Cute is the word overall. FRIENDS The childish act that was mentioned in the ACQUAINTANCES section has honestly become habit so even after you become friends with my little child she will mostly still act the same. It's not that she doesn't trust you, it's just hard to turn off sometimes. However, with that stated, if she trusts you she will allow that mask to drop as well. You'll see her for who she really is. You'll see an apathetic being whose vocabulary grows tremendously more impressive and at times much more crude. To be in this category sincerely from her end you need to know that she's a sociopath and not hate her for it. This will probably work well with other people of same mind. You like killing people? So do I. <3 From there you may conversations about preferences in murdering or share stories. This is the girl that influenced Elizabeth Bathory to bathe in the blood of virgins to stay eternally youthful. She's got quite a few goodies under her belt. ENEMIES These people she has no problem lowering the mask around. Most likely if you can say that you hate a physically appearing child then you know something about what she really is. Now again, restating from the FRIENDS section, acting childish has become habit so she may do so regardless. But overall she will have no issue dropping that charade through out the duration of conversation. If you are a legit enemy of hers you most likely fall under one of the following circumstances: 1) she has tried to kill you in the past but has not yet succeeded 2) she has killed someone that you care for and you aren't a fan of that 3) you've come to know of her sociopathic tendencies and aren't a fan 4) you're a hunter or "monster hater" thus hate her just for being a vamp 5) ~~~ (more to come as they occur to me) You are not limited to those mentioned above. They're just some ideas to throw out there. Though sincerely if you're an enemy of hers and you aren't dead yet because of it, it might be because that either you are too powerful for her to take on or that she just finds you too much fun. Especially those that are more emotional in their actions. She finds emotions fascinating since her own are so diluted naturally. If this is you she might like to keep you alive just to play with you. Torture you more or less. VICTIMS Well, first, I'm sorry for your loss. But on a serious note, your character will not be placed into this circumstance without your permission. If you're interested in this sort of plot be sure to give me specifics. What is my girl allowed to do to your child? How do you want to be harmed and how? Is nothing allowed to happen to their beautiful face? Etc The last thing I want to do is accidentally disrespect your character or you as the member. I'm very understanding and, honestly, very professional. I know, lame. But I am who I am LOL She likes killing people. What can I say? And she's not against mixing it up. One may be drowned. Another may have all of their fingers cut off and work her way up the arm until the person bleeds out. (Thus why you, as the member, have alot of sway in how things go down.) Once you're her victim you are hers. You are her property in her mind. She will do as she wants with you. Expect torture. Due to her childish physical stature and assumed age she appears to not be able to do much in manner of brute force. However as a vampire one of her abilities is superior strength, coupled with her superior speed, she's nothing to sniffle at. SUBORDINATES (AS COVEN LEADER OF LIBITINA) Congratulations! You are a member of the Libitina Coven. All around, she isn't cruel to these people. I know, surprising. She doesn't command complete control over every single detail of their lives. All around, as long as you don't bring unwanted popular attention her way (thus allowing hunters to know that she is a serial killing vampire for instance) you go along with your life and make her proud. Worth knowing though she will act like a child regardless of this arrangement. Coupling her charade with her natural influence over her vampire followers she will enjoy being cared for on occasion when she doesn't feel like tying her own shoes or fixing the bow on her dress.  |
" From her side of things I see her thinking of their relationship as frenemies (what the crap is a frenemy? a friend/enemy combination that an American co-worker taught me today). Pretty much people that insult, poke fun at, give each other crap but at the end of the day Elsie would prefer he stay alive rather than end up dead. These are people that banter and from Elsie's side of things at least, will enjoy that banter. Also, if Elsie can help it, they'll only be running into each other in public places (wither she is successful in doing so we'll have to see of course). The reason behind this is the fact her greatest strength is her child appearance. If a little girl starts crying and screaming "Help! This man is hurting me!" your character, who is supposed to be blending in, is going to get alot of negative attention.
