Using this ability drains her, causing her to be exhausted, physically weak and vulnerable. Because of this, it is not an ability she uses unless she has no other choice.<br/><br/>*Persuasion- she has the uncanny(though admittedly not supernatural) ability to convince others to see her point of view<br/><br/><br/><strong>APPEARANCE:</strong> Standing at just over 5 feet 7 inches tall, Elodie has a statuesque build that is naturally slender though maintains some curve due to her inability to take part in most athletics. She does however watch her diet closely and so is not necessarily out of shape or unhealthy in appearance. Her skin is a dark ochre and both her eyes and hair are Black in color. She is seen in long flowing dresses mostly casual in style and either barefoot or in sandals of all kinds, favoring the gladiator sandal type. She wears hoop earrings often, and styles her dark hair in either a loose bun or hanging free. While her gaze is sharp and penetrating, belying her cunning intellect, her smile is warm and as soft as the curves of her face. <br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong> Elodie can be thought of as boring, because she is neither impulsive or confrontational by nature. But a more accurate description would be 'peaceful'. She is a consummate negotiator, able to see the truth from both sides and find a way to what is best for the situation at hand. Calm and rarely angered, she is nevertheless quite a force to be reckoned with when her anger is at long last properly stoked to action.<br/><br/><strong>CHARACTER BACKGROUND:</strong> Elodie May Reed was adopted in her infancy by a couple who both worked for a major pharmaceutical company as microbiologists in the theoretical research division. Due to their high profile positions, Elodie grew in affluence, in spite of her birth circumstances. Born sickly, with a severe lung infection, much of Elodie's childhood was spent in a hospital room or quarantined within the  sterile environment her parents had crafted for her bedroom within their large home. Unable to fit into a regular school setting because of her intensive healthcare needs, Elodie spent the first eleven years of her life homeschooled by the best tutors money could provide. Unable to play outside because of a permanently weakened lung capacity, she turned to books. An especially bright mind, Elodie soaked up the knowledge she was offered voraciously. Because of this, by age eleven she had graduated from high school and by 16 had graduated from a local University with a law degree, taking her bar exam the following year. For the entirety of the year after, Elodie worked as a public defender, specializing in representing minors. It was in this work as a minor herself, that she earned the blessing of the Goddess Themis, for her particular devotion to the ideals of justice and the common good.<br/><br/><br/><strong>FACE CLAIM:</strong> Courtney Eaton<br/><strong>WRITER:</strong> AbyssDruid</div></div>
