(http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b39/devoniezdollz/elliquiy/ShortPixieHaircut.jpg)<br/>(Keira Knightley)<br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Elena Bryant<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>21<br/><br/><strong>Sex:</strong>Female<br/><br/><strong>Physical Description:</strong>When people see Elena many of them take a second look; not because she's exceedingly beautiful, but because there is such character in her face. You can tell that she enjoys her life immensely. She has lovely honey-brown hair that she keeps in a pixie cut and startlingly dark brown eyes. She is incredibly thin, with small hips and breasts - if not for her feminine face, she would often be mistaken for a child or a young man.<br/><br/><br/><strong>History: </strong>Elena is the younger child of a local couple. She is an "Autumn child;" her mother was 42 when Elena was born, and her brother, Thomas, was 20 and in college at the time, so they're not close. Her father died 4 years ago, and her mother has moved to Seattle to be closer to Thomas.<br/><br/>Elena is studying archaeology at the same school where Stephan teaches and is honored to be chosen by him to work on some local site digs.<br/><br/>Her small stature hides her strength. She holds a yellow belt in TaeKwanDo and teaches self-defense at the campus women's center.<br/><br/><strong>Psychical Description:</strong>Elena has a form of ESP known as Psychometry, that is the ability to gain information about an object by holding or touching the item (kind of like Johnny Smith in The Dead Zone). She is careful to always be able to back this information up through careful research and documentation; she uses her ability to "point" her in the right direction. She has managed to hide her ability from everyone for years, although Stephan himself has called her track record for being correct "uncanny."
