Elise Rigby

Background
Elise Rigby always knew she was different from everyone in her family and spent most of her life trying to hide who she was from them and everyone else around her. At a young age she could do things that no one else could, move things without her hands and even had premonitions of things, although, they did not always come true. Elise tried to keep these things to herself, knowing that she would probably be cast out if these things ever came to the surface. Though rarely spoken about, on at least two occasions, Elise was forced to talk about what she had seen; both times to warn family members about bad things to come, which actually did happen when they refused to listen to her. She tried to stop them from happening, but each time she was too late. She had not yet learned how to harness her powers, as much as she had wanted to save her family members, she just hadn’t be powerful enough yet. Elise was blamed for the unfortunate accidents and was also said to have cursed them. Elise and her family was run out of town and they came to the only place that they knew was safe, Emerald Cove. Elise was confused and hurt as to why they had to leave. Her only saving grace had been letters that spoke to her about everything she had been going through, almost like a guardian angel and now she didn’t have that anymore. No one else in her family seemed to have these problems but she did. They were forced to tell her about who she was and just who her mother had been. A half-blooded child of Norse and Pagan origins, she was a creature unlike any other. Elise’s life has been turned upside down but she has no other choice than accept her fate and learn from the only witch she knew: her mother.

Personality
Elise is outgoing, curious and careful. She’s like a beam of light upon the people she meets but she knows when she’s hit her limit and knows when to back away from an explosive situation. She’s cautious with people due to not knowing how to control her ability but for as many times as she’s been hurt and betrayed, Elise likes to know how people function; how they work and what makes them tick. But sometimes, getting to close to the flame only means that she’s going to get a bit burned.
