Elizabeth
NAME: Elizabeth (She doesn’t know)
AGE: 7
SOCIAL CLASS: lower class
PLAY-BY: Isabelle Allen
BLOOD STATUS: half blood
EYES: Bright and blue, often filled with fear.
HAIR: Long, blonde and straggly as she has no brush to tame it.
SKINTONE: Very pale.
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 109cm and 43lbs
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: none
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Beth is very small for her age. Small and underweight because she doesn’t get enough to each. She has a pretty little face and lovely long blonde hair- which could be beautiful and soft if she were able to wash or brush it. Her face is often marred by a frown, and her eyes shine with fear and sadness much more often than they do with happiness.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: Survival. Against all odds Beth is still alive, she lived on the streets for months before visiting Blakes orphanage where she occasionally goes for food and a bed if it is especially cold. She is too afraid to stay there for a long period of time. Terrified that people will get sick of her. Elizabeth can forage for food that no one else wants and is very good at making herself invisible when she doesn’t want to be seen.
WEAKNESSES: She is very small and young, despite being street savvy she is unable to protect herself from those bigger than her. She is too afraid to trust people, believing that they might turn her away and abandon her at the first opportunity.
STRENGTHS: She has managed to make the best of the situation she is in. She survives and keeps going when it would be much easier to give up. She forces herself to maintain a happy attitude to the world if she is seen, despite seeing other children being happier than she and longing or what she has. She misses her mother, but as a result of her upbringing she’s a fiercely independent child for her age- which is something that she deems as a strength, though many would say was a weakness.
QUIRKS & HABITS: When she has bursts of accidental magic they are usually very strong and triggered by anger. Beth does not get angry often, but when she does she can’t control herself.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Beth is a quiet child, quiet and quietly optimistic, she does her best to stay hidden and in the shadows where no one sees her or bothers her. She misses her mother often. She had never known anything other than what little they had had, and the life she has adapted to on the streets. Beth is quiet because she has always been taught to be invisible. Seeing her was bad for business. She is good at being invisible. The only time she fails is when she gets angry. So angry that she can no longer control her common sense and lets it all go.
BIRTH PLACE: Hackney, London
PARENTS: Victoria Potter (pureblood) and Thomas Gendry (muggle born)
SIBLINGS: n/a
OTHERS: n/a
PET: n/a
CHARACTER HISTORY: Elizabeth was born to Victoria Potter and Thomas Gendry in the shelter of an Inn in the early hours of the morning on a snowy December night. Unplanned and unwanted, Beth did not have the best start in life. Victoria, a mother at sixteen and disowned by her father for having a child out of wedlock- and with a muggleborn!- she had nothing. She had not even managed to finish her education. Thomas had never planned to marry Victoria, they were merely ‘having fun’. A common muggle term if ever there was one- in the opinion of Victoria’s father. Regardless she was sixteen years old with a newborn baby and without to knuts to rub together. She was alone in the world and completely lost, but when the bright baby blue eyes of her daughter stared up at her from the ragged blanket the Inn-Keepers wife had wrapped her in Victoria knew she had to do her best by the child.
Honestly she tried. But no one wanted to hire a peasant girl with a child out of wedlock. Times got harder and the winter was long. Victoria made a decision to do something that she had never imagined she might have to do. She turned to prostitution. To feed her child, to put a roof over their heads- even if that roof was a brothel. A few years passed by and it was ok, Beth grew up knowing that she was not to be seen, but to be quiet and never talk to any of the men who came in and out of the house. There was always a warm bed for her to sleep in and food on the table, she was a happy enough child. It was late December, shortly after the child turned seven. Mummy started being unwell. Wasting away. Dying. Typhoid. The seven year old was distraught. Her mother died painfully while the child watched and could do nothing to help. Gone were the days of food and a warm bed. She was turned out into the cold told that if she wanted a bed then they always had one in the work house. Beth had heard stories about the work house and knew never to go there. They were horrible places and it was better to try to fend for yourself.
Beth managed- against all odds- to survive the winter. She would occasionally- on the worst of nights- go to a place she had found… an orphanage. That was what she was now, after all. An orphan. But she was too afraid to stay for longer than it took for her clothes to dry, to have some soup in her belly and a sleep where it was dry. She much preferred the safety of going it alone.
