That struck a chord in a child's eyes and knew they had become poor. Feeling the pain from her father's financial worries, she tried giving her allowance back to bring back her father's happiness.<br/>But her father wasn't always kind. There were times where she hid from his madness and from the hostility in his eyes. Only then was she truly worried for her safety and her sisters. <br/>Her mother... well, that's all that can be said about her. Elyse recalls a few times where she called out for her, but she never came. When Elyse turned eighteen, her mother fled with her two sisters. There were only a few moments where she spoke with her siblings, but as days progressed, so did their distance. <br/><br/>A few months later, Elyse was invited into a company called Heavenly Desires Cosmetics or more commonly known as HD Cosmetics. Of course she was hesitant at first afraid it being too-good-to-be-true scams or pyramids. However, after doing enough research and speaking with other consultants that sell the products, she was sold that it was truly legit. If she worked hard enough to put in those efforts, she would be rewarded every quarter for making those numbers. This was going to be her salvation to get away from her angery father, she thought.<br/>A few years later, she did just that and now has a steady, growing flow of clientele, including a regular buyer - Grace. Not to mention her favorite customer; she seems to love trying everything!<br/><br/>Ever since she can remember, there wasn't ever a time where she feared anything, not even the night itself with all its creepy crawlers lurking around that time. She always felt safe, and if she was lost, she seemed to always know where to go after "consulting" with a higher power. This usually led her to people who needed help along the way, like Amelia. Her father had passed away and was in a depressed state. Elyse was there to lift her spirits, so to speak.<br/><br/>One night after her shift at a local jewelry store, she waited for the bus to take her home since her beat down car was spending a couple days at the mechanic's, a truck went by only to do a full "U" turn and park across from her. A drunken man exited the truck, staggering here and there toward where Elyse sat. Her heart began to beat faster as she knew no good could come from this. The stinking man sat beside her and placed his hand on her thigh. A force came from within almost instinctively and tapped the man on the forehead with her index finger. The alcoholic writhed and shouted in pain which gave her time to flee the scene.</span><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>True Believer's Abilities</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> Eylse' faith protects any home from the paranormal, making it difficult for a force to invade.  She can release herself to a higher power, and let her belief be a guide to where she is most needed. Holy Touch is her last ability in which case her physical touch is painful to things that are sensitized to pure hearted things.</span><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Reputation</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">As an artist of many talents, Elyse has easily picked up on music, drawing and painting whether it's faces or interior design. She put her coloured talents to good use when she was recruited at age 18 for Heavenly Desires Cosmetics and has climbed the ladder quickly with her friendly, social nature. <br/><br/>She is also known for her singing in a church near by.</span><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Writing Prompts!</strong><br/><br/><strong>1. Your character had a one night stand. Do a write up on the morning after.</strong><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><em>No. This wasn't right. What had she gotten herself into now? </em><br/><br/>Elyse' eyes opened slowly to the aroma of breakfast in bed. Her stomach growled at the wafting scent and automatically sat up in bed ready to eat when her blanket fell away from her chest. <br/>Her naked chest. <br/><br/>Elyse' eyes widened and quickly dashed her hands for the blanket to cover herself. All the while her mind racing for answers as to how she got into this predicament. <br/>"What's the matter, dear?" There stood a woman wearing nothing but an apron, her perfect breasts nearly popping out; she wore it so tight. Elyse couldn't help but think how cute and beautiful she was in it. <br/><br/><em>No! What have I done!? </em><br/><br/>Finding herself compromised in a dilemma of morality, Elyse moved the tray over carefully enough not to spill anything on the empty space beside her. She shot out of bed with a sheet covering herself, looking for her clothes. <br/>"Honestly, hun, I've seen everything already." The nameless woman jested and sighed as soon as Elyse found her clothes and started getting dressed. "I guess this means you won't be staying?" <br/>The woman was right. Besides, the holding the sheet was slowing her down. "I can't stay, Merelyn. You work soon anyway, and I have to get to an appointment I'll be late for." Elyse let her down easy. Though it wasn't at all untrue, there was something picking at her to leave and had a feeling no one should be in this house much longer. "What are you doing? Get dressed!" She threw Merelyn's clothes at her.<br/>"Alright, alright! Sheesh, what's the big deal if we're a tad late?" The question was rhetorical, more like thinking out loud. She obeyed Elyse' orders and blew a kiss to her before they went their separate ways. </span><br/><br/><br/><strong>3. Your character has just been handed a bill that they suddenly realize they can't pay. What do they do?</strong> <br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">"You did what!?" Elyse shouted at the boy-man across from her. She couldn't fathom what he had done with the money they saved for rent. "You went and bought an Xbox!? What made you think there was money for that!" Elyse ranted on, completely livid he wasted her part of the hard earned money on such a machine. Though she may love games as much as he, she made too much progress in little time to get distracted by such a thing. Money was more important, especially now.<br/>She doesn't even have enough people on her clientele list to support herself, let alone someone else yet.<br/>Uh oh. Here comes the water works. <br/><br/>"Aww, don't cry." Was all he could muster as his character shot a Vietnamese soldier.<br/><br/>"Are you serious! You can't even look at me and say that!" Fire was fed, she knew she had to do something to fix this idiotic situation. But what? She didn't have what is due in her savings account, especially since the due date is tomorrow. She wanted to puch him out. Give him a nice Kasumi KO from DOA. But no, she couldn't do that. It would be wrong even though it would satisfy her much more than an orgasm could give right now.<br/>Oh yes. Her entire being was fuming with clenched fists.<br/>And then a great calm swept over her, like inside the eye of a tornado. She left without another word or slamming the door. <br/>It was time to go to work. <br/><br/>Time passed as Elyse came home, exhausted. Nick looked behind him and saw what was in her hand. "Nice! What did you do? Go pimp yourself out?" <br/>Elyse didn't say anything. Just stared at him as she walked by him to her room and shut the door. She hid the money in a hardcover book until it was time to pay the Landlord. She spent the whole day looking for clients, hosting a couple parties and made just enough money for rent. Thankfully she didn't need to take out a loan and pay back the interest. However, she has full intentions of placing interest on her half of the money Nick stole from her.</span></div></div><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Who Elyse Knows</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Grace</strong>: A wonderfully, fond regular client that she sees frequently.<br/><strong>Amelia</strong>: A fast friend of Elyse' and also a client.
