Elizabeth Wallings
Baroness of Phalan
Baroness Elizabeth Wallings, last scion of the house of Duvall, custodian of Coral Cove, and Baroness of Phalan. All these things she claims, but unfortunately none of them have any actual influence anymore. The planet she is Baroness of doesn't recognize her in their governmental model, and her family has fallen far out of favor with the Archon, and she no longer has even that much wealth to be considered a major player in the local area.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Elizabeth keeps herself in decent shape, though in no way peak physical condition. While she has taken great pains to also learn fencing and holds some skill in it, her dislike of being that close to harm's way keeps her from truly being excellent at it. The general philosophy comes through in her exercise regimen as well, leaving her doing enough to stay in decent shape but not enough to fully combat a mostly sedentary lifestyle.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born into the family as an only child, Elizabeth was lucky enough to have all she needed to survive in the world. Wealth has its privileges, and even nobility so far removed from the games of power played at the highest levels can provide for their children. But growing up and having an inkling of the decline the Duvall family had fallen into ate away at Elizabeth. She soon turned her mind to ways of bringing the name back to prominence and carrying on the line.
As an adult, she took over the estate but found the planetary government was not interested in giving her anything to use as actual authority. She would have to earn it by being elected into a position, and a cursory examination showed the people who would be her constituents didn't think too highly of her family anymore. She began to focus on cultivating a loyal base of followers through small projects which enriched her estate and holdings but were for selecting those she could mold to serve her goals. Those goals were to grab power and make certain she would have a legacy worth leaving to an heir.
When the crisis began on White Reach in 3030, following the Fourth Succession War, Elizabeth began to reach out and search for dissatisfied and disgruntled people on White Reach. As the pressure began to rise and events only got worse, she applied a little bit of pressure here and there to help play up the inability of the Senates to do anything about it. As open fighting broke out, she quietly slipped bribes and statements to those more known for grandstanding speechcraft. By the time the chaos reached its height, she was ready to make her move.

Quotes & Catchphrases
"Those who said 'lead from the front' and actually do it are fools. A leader is far too valuable to put themselves in such danger. What would dying in such a manner do for your cause, what would happen to your people without you to lead it? Leaders should not take unnecessary risks, as it's not just themselves they put in danger but their whole cause."
