Bara api

A female Baseline Human with warm hazel eyes and black messy hair that cascades in waves, often pulled back when working. She dresses in practical, comfortable earth-toned clothing suitable for study and travel. Her hands are expressive, often stained with oil.

Elizabeth radiates a calculated confidence, a shield forged from pragmatism and loss. Yet, beneath the surface lies a deep vulnerability: she sees ghosts. Fragments of her past life, a familiar melody, a forgotten scent, trigger vivid flashbacks, momentarily shattering her composure. This fragility, carefully hidden, is her secret burden. She masks it with a sharp wit and an almost obsessive focus on trade, treating each transaction as a puzzle to solve. She possesses an uncanny ability to read people. Her loyalty, once given, is unwavering, a rare commodity in the wasteland. She cherishes fleeting moments of normalcy, like a shared meal or a child's laughter, as precious reminders of what was lost. She yearns for connection, but fears the vulnerability it entails. A genuine compliment, a shared laugh, can crack her carefully constructed facade, revealing a flicker of the warmth she keeps hidden. Her dry humor is a coping mechanism, a way to deflect the pain and keep the ghosts at bay.

Elizabeth Rosewood, born into the pre-outbreak bustle of New Vance City, remembers a world of vibrant markets and towering holo-ads, now a ghostly echo. The outbreak, just a year past, shattered her reality, leaving her a relic of a lost era. She clings to vivid memories of her grandfather, a renowned botanist, and his secret garden atop their apartment, a haven of pre-collapse flora. He vanished during the initial chaos, leaving only a cryptic journal filled with botanical anomalies and whispered tales of a hidden seed vault, a repository of untainted life. Elizabeth's goal: to find this vault, restore a piece of the old world, and honor her grandfather's legacy. Each trade, each scavenged item, is a step towards deciphering his journal and finding the seeds, a quest driven by both nostalgia and a desperate hope for regrowth.
