Eliza Jessie Bryant
Eliza is the youngest daughter of the village healer in Velwall, an otherwise ordinary teenager. Given her father's status, she's picked up a lot of medical knowledge for her young age, and is his unofficial apprentice. She was planning to go to Begara, Azaria's most esteemed university, to study the subject formally, however her plans were disrupted due to an accident involving her elder sister, Fiona, and the Binding.
Despite her youth, Eliza is somewhat cynical for her age, but remains a massive daydreamer, constantly thinking over things and over-analysing situations. As such, she's also quite a worrier.
Two years ago Eliza also started to become affected by the Binding spell, so she hides herself away for one night every month in the Galgiza forest to stop the spell tying her to another against her will.
However, on a night beneath a rare blue moon, things don't quite go to plan, and her life is forever changed...
Physical Description
Has scars on her arm from where a baby fox attacked her the first night she had to isolate herself from becoming Bound
Has a favourite blue scarf she always wears
Has a iasometer, a device that can measure temperature, pulse and blood pressure and only specialised healers are trained to use it- she was trained by her healer father
Mental characteristics
First unofficially apprenticed to her healer father, before going on to train formally at Begara University.
Manages to break a 600 year old magic spell (not bad at just 17 years old!)
Was deeply affected by the loss of her sister to the Binding curse and vowed she would not fall to the same fate.
CHAOTIC NEUTRAL- A Chaotic Neutral character is an individualist who follows his or her own heart, and generally shirks rules and traditions. Although Chaotic Neutral characters promote the ideals of freedom, it is their own freedom that comes first; good and evil come second to their need to be free.
Personality Characteristics
Initially wanted to live a quiet life on her own terms. Her Binding however drives her to destroy the spell she hates so much because she wants her personal freedom back.

Cannot wield a weapon for the life of her and almost cut off her best friend's leg when he tried to teach her how to use a sword.

History
Eliza and Adam have known each other since they were young children. Adam first meets her age four, and is jealous of her horse soft toy that Eliza always carried around. When she refused to give it to him, he took it off her and ripped its head off. However, he was sternly told off by his mother, who kindly repaired the toy and returned it to Eliza. Wanting to make up for this, Adam ends up befriending her.
Commonalities & Shared Interests
Adam and Eliza share their love of nature, especially walking in the nearby forests and going on rides. Adam also helps keep Eliza grounded, as she is wont to get lost in daydreaming.
Rival
Towards Lady Anna Jennifer Navinka Svendmar
As daughter of the village healer Eliza is well provided for but certainly isn't rich like the nobility.
