[Anyone who's ever faced some degree of abuse can see it immediately on Elizabeth's face and in the set of her shoulders. She keeps to her reading, avoids physical contact with everyone when she can, and never, ever, talks about where she's come from. Even talking about her powers is a struggle, given her history.]
[In the past year, she had been more or less tortured in a brutal attempt to control her powers and make her obedient to Zachary Comstock-- a religious fanatic desperate for recognition from the US government for his work in producing human weaponry. And he'd started with his own daughter.]
[That isn't to say that Elizabeth never converses with anyone. In some ways, she's eager to experience life outside of the captivity she was raised in, but her experiences so far have taught her that she trusts too easily and that her powers have ensured she will go through life being feared by everyone. Her situation seems grim to the point of futile, but when she was given a chance to have a semi-normal life away from Comstock she took it gladly and gratefully.]
[But that had been the easy part. Now she's moving awkwardly from her dorm room to breakfast to classes to lunch, and so on, day after day.]
[Action]
[Usually Elizabeth can be found reading on the grounds (outside, after having spent years without means of going outside, is always her preference) or trying to catch up on popular culture in one of the common rooms. Movies, music... she's seen next to nothing and so she misses so many jokes the other students make. Elizabeth is nothing if not determined to move forward, at least.]
