Elizabeth | Persona 4 Arena

[elevelvetor]

heyyy guess who's reapping... soon...

PLAYER: Bella
CHARACTER: Elizabeth
CANON: Persona 4 Arena


AU NAME: Elizabeth Velveteen
AU AGE: 18
AU OCCUPATION: Freshman in college, probably??
BLURB:

○ Originally born into a fairly average family, but became an orphan due to an accident that befell her parents when she was very young (around 5 or 6).
○ She ended up coming under the care of her immediate aunt and uncle, but family musical chairs started because of family quarrels—both of the divorce and normal politics kind—and she ended up being passed through different family members a lot. As a result, she didn't stay in one place for too long and changed schools frequently, thus never really making—or rather, keeping—any friends her own age.
○ She wasn’t entirely friendless though; Elizabeth found some stability in MMORPGs and other online activities, and was able to maintain friendships online with greater ease than in her busy home life. She also made a habit of reading a lot, finding solace in fictional characters—who also did not leave her, even if she moved around.
○ She also discovered theater and acting! And joined it at every school she came across, provided they offered it; she loves pretty much all kinds of plays, but musicals are her favorite to act in since she gets to go all-out.
○ Elizabeth recently arrived (that is, at the beginning of the year) at her last and final stop in her house hopping journey: Ferid's home (subject to change since Ferid's not technically apped to the game anymore, uhhhh? But if I can keep it I will, Peace is still 100% fine with it). It's her last and final stop because she's technically an adult and it was her last year of high school, so.
○ She's not ungrateful though; she helps out at his florist shop from time to time to demonstrate that. And get some money to set aside.
• Basically, she's got difficulty connecting to people irl due to moving around a lot and uses MMORPGs, RP, etc. as a type of escapism to combat her intrinsic loneliness. Which she kind of perpetuates herself by not being able to get close to others and form bonds, whoops. She's naturally a cheerful girl who likes to leave some sort of impression, and tends to turn up her charm eccentricities to eleven as a result... so she does things like quotes/refs plays in public, gesticulate a lot and be very grandiose with people she's not super close to.

And less c/p'd (and sort of edited to reflect the fact she's graduated by now) from my app—

○ PROBABLY GONNA GO TO UNIVERSITY, she likes drama so maybe majoring in that. Not entirely sure. Literature (academia [screeches]), psychology/sociology, etc also in mind. Or maybe nothing at all for now!! Who knows. I'm taking subject suggestions.
○ Probably... still works at the florist shop... She'd be interested in looking for a job closer to Recollé University though, since she'll be living in the dorms. (Ophelia's Lament is in Tisse, okay, that is a bit away.)
○ Honestly I can't think of anything else. Buddy of mine suggested she play in gaming tournaments so that seems like a pretty fun idea so maybe that too... we'll see.

LOOKING FOR:

○ Pretty much anything tbh. She plays a lot of MMOs so that could be a fun time
○ Specifically though, hit me with that roommate stuff. She'll be staying in the dorms so!
○ FELLOW THEATER NERDS...
○ People who RP, she talked about starting an rp group on Retrospec last time she was here she'd still be down for that.
○ I'm really not picky aside from no romance/assumed friend stuff since she's not really the type of person to have genuine friends unless they're online, because online friendships are less transitory to her than offline ones.
○ SO LIKE IF YOU WANNA BE ONLINE BUDDIES that's cool. that's sick. do it.

OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: I DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO DO A WORKSHOP COMMENT WITH ELIZABETH BEFORE SO I'M DOING ONE NOW that's basically what this comes down to, hahaha.

[sotenbori]

i've been carrying the last fantasy torch in your wake

[elevelvetor]

OH NO... thank you so much, we should defo do shit with that

[true_noir]

Oooh, she'll have fun seeing her again. Their last thread was interesting. Mind you, they probably haven't had contact since, so I don't know that they'll really have pre-existing contact other than the little caterpillar ride.

Unless you would like to assume some sort of contact afterwards, they can simply run into each other again at the TDM.

[elevelvetor]

I like to play a lot of things by ear, so I think running into each other again at the TDM sounds perfect!

[true_noir]

^_^ Remind me - which florist did she work at? It wasn't Enchanted Blossoms, was it? I vaguely recall she worked for a different place.

[storytelleroftime]

Scoots over Theater you say?

Yeah uh, if you want to have two theater nerds who hide trust issues behind eccentricities and gradiose flamboyance then uh... would totally be up for CRing with Liz.

Also tbh Liz is my fav velvet sister personality wise.

[elevelvetor]

MAGILOU... Heck yeah, give me that CR, that's actually super swell.

Also same but don't tell the other velvet sibs

[storytelleroftime]

Wow, thanks.

Yeah these two will be uh... something. That's for sure. I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad something, I hope good.

[livingdeadgirl]

yeyeyeyeye let's get this rp going

also ami's probably picking up last fantasy over the summer so there's that!

[elevelvetor]

HECK YES look at all these cool people hitting up this mmo and rp shit. tbh between liz and ami they're gonna have the best retrospec rp group, i'm already calling it

i mean... aside from the fact it'll probably be the only one so by default it's the best... anyway

[sonofpatriots]

Since Elizabeth is into drama and acting, maybe there's a chance she ran across one of Adamska's Oscar nominated movies? Sons of Liberty would likened to a spaghetti western but with strong anti-government and complicity themes.

[elevelvetor]

a spaghetti western with strong anti-government and complicity themes... it's definitely something that would've caught her attention, just because of how incredible that sounds! so yes, definitely a chance there

[sonofpatriots]

Excellent! I plan on making excerpts of this particular "film" so everyone can have some concrete information about it for reference.

"We're not tools of the government or anyone else---" Totally diving into heavy Metal Gear themes now!

Tell me, has Elizabeth ever thought of acting on film and not only in theater?

[youraffection]

AHHH I didn't get to poke you the first time but I LOVE ELIZABETH BLESS YOU FOR PLAYING HER

Yosuke could be an online buddy. He's not a hardcore gamer but he does like to play and I enjoy having him get his ass kicked by awesome girls.

[elevelvetor]

SHE'S MY FAVORITE PERSONA TO PLAY TBH, THANK YOU FOR BEING EXCITED ABOUT HER

and ooh, sounds good! ...i should have definitely asked this of anyone else who did online stuff but what's his username. is it stupid. is it something she can make fun of, because she probably would

[youraffection]

SHE IS THE BEST so you have excellent taste

HIS USERNAME...well his instagram name is y22k because he think's he's edgy. (YosuKe + 22 for his birthday) I'll have to think about his gamer ID, though, because it could definitely be something she could poke fun at, I'm sure. HE WOULD PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO IT THOUGH. Image is important

Re: Elizabeth | Persona 4 Arena

[truedetective]

yes hi please I missed elizabeth!! build on what they had?

Re: Elizabeth | Persona 4 Arena

[elevelvetor]

LATE BUT yes totally, absolutely

[alitaba]

slams in here late without starbucks

so Futaba and Elizabeth being mmo friends delights me

[elevelvetor]

this... is also a thought that delights me, oh my god? i hadn't realized how much i'd wanted it until now. what kind of classes/jobs does Futaba usually main, Elizabeth's definitely a "magic user or bust" kind of girl unless some other class has nicer looking armor/cash shop items/whatever (because we all know mmo life is about that "gotta look good" life)

[seizedtheday]

like a bolt from the blue, eh? I want to say her main is a pretty casual (max tiered) heal/support but her alt is like the most buffed out Warrior you could imagine.

[complementing]

ah I'm so excited for you to bring Elizabeth back!! I was hoping we could just build up their friendship again like we were doing before, their caterpillar conversation during that week of being tiny was very cute

[elevelvetor]

ahhh yes, sounds good!! i still feel super bad that i dropped the ball there... but i'd be delighted to keep the friendship train going, choo choo motherfuckers

[complementing]

No worries, life happens! Heck yes choo choo, I hope the two of them can go on pseudo dates eventually laughs
