ESSENTIALS
• Name: Elisabet (Eh-LEES-abeht) Locke
• Nickname: Lisa
• Age: 25
• Social Class: Artisan Noble-by-marriage
• Occupation: Distills fruits, plants, and flowers into oils that can be used in soaps and perfumes. Luxury goods for nobles mostly.
APPEARANCE
Looking at her it's both easy and difficult to understand why Lock 'married beneath himself' though you would do well not to repeat that in her hearing. Lisa's pride and joy is the wheaten gold hair that she takes meticulous care of, brushing her waist and often left to hang unless she is working in the distillery. She is tall for a woman but still inches shorter than her lanky husband, with a body far more solid and full-figured. Nobody could call Elisabet fat yet her luxury trade does provide her with a bit more income than the average family; birth gave her the hips and bones though her bosom is a bit smaller than one would expect on a girl so round-bottomed. Pale cornflower eyes fit a pale-skinned face to complete the most oddly pretty of artisans.
She also almost always smells faintly of apples due to her access to the merchandise.
PERSONALITY
Elisabet's main personality feature is a logical, orderly mind that loves to 'mess around' as she'd put it. She just loves to experiment and discover new things whether it be a new scent combination for the soaps and oils her family's shop puts out or a new social situation with a different group of people. Combined with the good-natured, jovial personality of her husband this can sometimes make for an awkward pair until you see them together and you realize she's just as open. In fact sometimes she's uncomfortably so with a bit of a lack of brain to mouth filter that can get her in trouble when combined with temper.
Her temper is not unusually easy to trigger it's simply that she does not hide it as well as others might depending on the issue. Her lack of tact does sometimes cause a bit of trouble for her smooth-tongued husband and she's trying to learn to keep her mouth shut. It just doesn't always work so you can guarantee that if Lisa is thinking about something it will probably be aloud and vaguely uncomfortable for the people around her if the subject is controversial or strange enough.
ABILITIES
Having grown up in the distillery as well as having developed a deep love for the process, Lisa is rather good at making perfumed oils for the noblewomen. It's her pride and joy that she touts around town with her smelling faintly sweet and tart like an apple.
Lisa is also an accomplished gossip.
HOBBIES
Studying to combine new scents, learning new techniques to make her aromatic oils, fussing in the kitchen, anything that allows her to experiment and play with new things. Poor Lock has to actually eat her creations though she does her best to not give him anything too strange.
Family: A Noble Sword whom she often hears was nothing short of a miracle from both of their families, though each family has a different meaning. His is full of long-suffering sighs with sideways looks and hers is happy for her good fortune. Nonetheless Elisabet loves her husband and they both have quite a jovial marriage despite their differences.
There are several stories and a few ribald jokes about how they came to be married for Lock barely knew Elisabet for more than a week when they were bound together in matrimony. Stories range from an inebriated proposal (though he would never say such a thing in his wife's hearing) to a business proposition to a joke taken very seriously to the most radical of stories: That she's really Touched and is using mind control on him. Lisa will not stand for hearing the third and Lock would simply strike down that last rumor as soon as it comes up. Thankfully nobody gives any credence to that one.
Lock enjoys the stories and it keeps Lisa's name being bandied about town which is good for business. She doesn't truly enjoy the joking about her marriage but well...it doesn't hurt anything in the end.
