Character permission
Name: Elissa
Race: Morganian
Age: 37
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 143lbs
Birth place: Morgania System; Morganian Homeworld
Appearance:
Often when a species is renowned for their beauty it is normal to see them showing off their form in revealing clothing or clothing that punctuates their natural looks. It would be odd then for someone like Elissa who was born into the Morganian species, a species known for their beauty to show any other kind of behavior than one would expect. Elissa though was raised to be modest, by a mother who in her own time was a singer that often wore revealing clothing.
Elissa is often seen keeping her pure alabaster white skin covered in clothing that also keeps her figure covered as well. Most of her clothing are simple cool and soothing colors of blue, greens and turquoise. Long sleeve turtle neck tops and either long skirts or slightly baggy pants make up the brunt of her clothing options. All of which have been hand picked by Elissa to keep herself covered and prevent distractions.
The only attention she seeks to draw is that of ones attention to her eyes and face. Her hair, which is the color of freshly fallen snow, is worn down so that it both frames her face and cascades over her shoulders and down her back. Elissa once had her eyes compared to an icy blue lake that one could be easily lost in. The natural bright deep blue draws attention to her face as it is, however she has coupled that by the selective use of makeup. Her eye liner and eye shadow respectively are a softer shade of blue, helping the deeper blue of her eyes be drawn out. To this end, to capture further attention to her face, her lips are often clad in a soft blue lipstick to keep attention on her, rather than allowing for leering looks at her figure.
Personality:
Ever since she was a young girl, Elissa has always seemed to have a cheerful and caring nature, something that has continued to stick with her into her older years. She has often been compared to being a motherly woman, looking out and caring for those that she can help. A mission that had started when she was a child and she aided a small bird back to health after it had run into a window of the family home. This caring attitude is what has caused her to grow into a loving woman.
Her childhood didn't only just hold a caring and cheerful nature, it also held an inquisitive one which has proceeded through out her years. Her intelligence having been nurtured and fed over the years by caring parents, though that intelligence was also coupled with a health dose of cautiousness which saw her through the more troubled teen years that many beings have. It was this dual combination that she still uses today that has kept her out of trouble both now and in the earlier years of her life.
Elissa however continues to seek out knowledge when she has the free time to do so. Her years though have frequently begun to grow more caring in their scope, mainly from her work to aid those civilians displaced in these troubled times, while remaining cautious as she runs a corporate organization centered on the production of items meant to help the civilian population.

Bio:
Love left a mark on her life, which had its own start due to love. Her father was a struggling young artist known as Dace. He would often spend his days painting the deep blue oceans and the rolling fields that his home was situated near. He came from a well to do family, though he had years earlier decided to leave that life style. Feeling that it just wasn't for him and the more peaceful and honest life he had chosen better suited himself. Dace found it a struggle, though he learned to cope and live without the servants and found a new freedom to his life.
Her mother, a loving and caring woman in her own right, was often called a jewel turned to physical begin. Eleanor was a singer whose voice was said to have been able to charm the stars out of the very night sky and could coax the gems out of the land beneath. She was a popular singer, though she found her own life to be troublesome at times and had often thought of leaving it behind. Half of her life though was spent behind a bar, being groped and having cat calls hurled her way, she still never once let such behavior ruin her own cheerful attitude.
It was Eleanor that first found Dace, having run across him as he was trying to barter one of his paintings for some food. Dace having run out of any money had to properly pay. After being turned away for the third time, Eleanor offered to pay for him, a gesture that Dace would spend the next many months attempting to repay by doing every little odd job he could think of. He had even taken up a job at the same cantina Eleanor worked at just so he could be closer to the woman that had helped him.
Slowly, as they spent more time together, their feelings for one another would begin to develop and grow further. It was Dace that would convince the owner to allow Eleanor to sing on stage, at the cost of picking up her shifts so she could achieve a dream she had since she was a child. In turn when her singing brought her more fortune and fame, Eleanor never forgot that it was Dace who had helped her first, which drew her to aid and support him in turn with his artistic endeavors.
In due time they would have a child together, their first, though not only. Elissa was born not too long after Dace and Eleanor had wed in a simple ceremony. Even at such a young age it was clear that her mother's personality was copied in the little girl. When a loud thud one morning woke the house hold, it was Elissa that found the injured bird on a windowsill and would spend the next few months taking care of it. She nursed the small song bird back to health before letting it go so it could return to its own family.
Elissa's desire for books was also caught in these early years when she would grab at anything with words and pictures that she could read. Her parents would constantly be bringing new books home for her to read, or would find her rushing to the books each time they went shopping. While many children would beg for some shiny, bright boxed, sugary food stuff, Elissa was always begging for a new book that she had yet to read. Surprisingly enough, after she finished each book she would often hand them out to her friends, or other children so they could read it as well. It was this simple action as a child that would continue to grow as her desire to care for others grew with her.
By the time she was a grade schooler she had already far exceeded many of her teachers expectations in what she could read. A parent teacher conference would later have both Dace and Eleanor agreeing that Elissa should be placed into advance classes to help nurture and care for her needs as she continued to grow. Her new classes would open up new doors for her, though it was always the books that were her true desire. Elissa never seemed to ever want for a book, often having many of them to choose from when ever she wished to read.
Her schooling would excel and proceed rapidly, seeing her graduating early at a young age. Elissa though merely took it as a means to allow her time to do what she wanted most, which was to help people. With all the studying and schooling out of the way, she took that time to form support groups. Helping to gather food and hand them out to the more needy families, while also helping those children in need to gain access to better education. When she finally reached the age of adulthood she was ready and wanting to see what the Galaxy beyond the Morganian homeworld had to offer, what she would see though in a troubled galaxy would shock her.
Before she left for her Galactic Tour, as she liked to call it, she said her farewells to both her mother and father. The two most important beings in her life that had supported her every decision. The one condition that they had to set their foot down on however was that Elissa not travel alone, which even after all her fusing and complaining, she accepted. After a hug and a smile from both Dace and Eleanor, she was on her way. Leaving the Morganian homeworld to see what was out there.
Elissa was so focused on helping people that she had never really thought about the possibility that she couldn't or wouldn't be able to help someone. This realization would first strike when she arrived at a small refugee colony in the Outer Rim. She found many people needing help, many that were sick or displaced do to a larger galactic conflict that she had not known about or thought was possible. Many of the refugees she tried to help were small children, often reminding Elissa of herself at their age. Many with smiles, their parents trying to keep them from seeing the bad in the galaxy. Others though often had tears in their eyes and roars in their stomachs as their own parents were either lost or had simply abandoned them.
It was the sight of the infants though that struck her heart the hardest. Seeing the small children without a parent or guardian as they barely clung to life. Her most life changing moment being when an infant died in her arms. Elissa spent the next night crying, unable to even see clearly due to the tears that blurred her vision. For her though it was a defining moment that changed her attitude towards what she wanted to do. She had planned to go out and help people, though it was that moment that Elissa realized she too would need help to even begin helping others.
Just as she had done as a child, Elissa began to call on others to aid with the refugees and civilians that had been injured and displaced due to the conflict. She called on those of an average lifestyle, and even got herself threatened once or twice when she called on those with a lavish lifestyle to help. Elissa didn't want to stop at just a small group, she wanted a larger one, and as her work continued to grow, so to did that organization.
It had started off as a small relief group, set on the goal of aiding refugees and injured civilians by providing food, water and medical aid. It would grow larger in time with each successive achievement they made, either by raising a large sum of credits, or supplies. In turn they began to get donations from beings which would be used to keep their group growing.
When Elissa had started out she couldn't imaging how successful she would become. Growing a small simple relief group into a large company that she directed. Elissa had even drafted up an internal memo for the company, which hired displaced civilians and refugees to work for them, while offering them affordable housing with low rent rates. Elissa was happy with her work, though she always new that more people would need help, and she would be there with Galactic Life Solutions to offer that aid.
RP Sample:
It was a quiet moment in the meeting room before a gravelly voice spoke up, the elderly man attempting to stop some form of loss that he was claiming to have. The problem was where he was sitting and from whom he was sitting across. Hearing the man speaking on the terms of some old contract and stating his intent to leave it behind brought out a small bit of anger in her. Elissa though was smart enough to keep it under wraps and controlled. She had also been cautious enough to foresee such an action and merely drew up the contract that had been signed.
"Sir, it would appear that this is your signature on the contract correct?"
A simple yes was all that was heard from the man across the table.
"Well then, it would appear we have a problem as well."
The man's eyebrow rose filled with inquisitively at what the problem could be. It was simple, he would leave his agreement and the contract was nothing more than an empty promise he made for a tax cut. Elissa though wasn't happy at all, though the contract was on her side, even if the man decided to bring the law into it in the end.
"This contract states that you would up hold your side of the bargain. Providing to Galactic Life Solutions a steady supply of foodstuffs from your personal land to be used in our production of disaster relief supply kits. It also states that should you decided to drop the contract, you will not only owe the foodstuffs that would have been provided during the fulfillment of the contract, you would also lose a hefty sum of credits to reimburse Galactic Life Solutions for any loss in revenue and production."
A haughty gasp filled the meeting room before the elderly man grabbed at the contract. Grumbling that Elissa would get the foodstuffs before he threw the papers down on the table and stormed out. A small smile crossing her lips as she stood up and touched the speaker on the desk.
"Please send in the next appointment."

I really do like this character. She's unique, and I hope to see her around the site soon. (I know my senator would be interested in making her acquaintance). Good luck in your tweaking. And if you have any questions or comments regarding my review, just ask.
