Full Name: Elizabeth Catherine Sherwood Nickname: Lizzy, Lizzy-moo Reason behind Nickname: Only that the latter is reserved to be said by only her brother. Race: Human Gender: Female Occupation/class: Writer / musician Social Class: On the uppermost part of middle working class. She's got money but she doesn't get that much yearly really.
Physical Appearances Age: 21 Age Appearance: A little younger than actual years. Eye Color/Shape/Size: Dark brown, doe-like and soft Need Glasses or Contacts: Needs glasses, so she has three pairs, just in case she looses one of them or forgets them somewhere. (She misplaces a lot of things.) Hair Color/Length/Style: Black, super wavy to the point of being almost curly at the ends and will curl and frizz in the heat/humidity. It is also very long, almost to her knees. Height/Weight: 5'5", 210 lbs. Type of Body/Build: Voluptuous, would be nice and curvy if lost some of the excess weight around her middle area and thighs. Skin Tone/Type: Pale, burns and scars easily, smooth and soft as she is a rather squishy type of person, but rather dry and rough on her elbows and knees. Marks (Freckles, scars, etc.): Smattering of freckles on the bridge of her nose which has since significantly faded with her age, has a few various others around her body. Predominant Feature: Baby round face, and almost gothic natural appearance. Is Healthy: Somewhat, but not really. If and Why: She loves junk food, and tends to be sitting. Having asthma and overweightness compounds the cycle that which is the problem. So she doesn't exercise, or play sports. Used to be in shape but not anymore.
Likes, Dislikes, Personality Favorite Color: Green Least Favorite: Brown Why: Dislikes her eyes, she wishes they could be something more exotic like green or even blue. Favorite Music: Techno Least Favorite: Rap Why: "Badly written poetry sung off key. Period." Favorite Food: Macaroni and Cheese Least Favorite: Anything termed 'rabbit food' which seems to be all vegetables except corn and potatoes. Why: She used to eat anything as a child, but as one grows up taste buds change, although it was her own fault for being an 'overindulger' and easily addicted to things. Favorite Clothing: Renaissance type clothing. Peasant tops and long flow-y skirts. Bellbottom jeans and also hippy clothing in muted patterns. Though she was never really into the bandanas. Least Favorite: Suits or anything skin tight. She likes to hide her body in oversized clothing which in turn makes her appear larger than she really is. Why: Very insecure about her body. Jewelry: Pentacle necklace she is never without or dragon shaped earrings both with a real rare-type of jade stone in it and a smaller amethyst. Other Accessories: Sling bag, made of leather containing paper, pencils and everything very earthy based. She's pro-environment. (So she's got that branch-like looking pencil and a feather and ink set.) She has a string of clay beads with a few bones and feathers tied to them a charm of sorts given to her by a Native American friend. Most Prized Possession(s): The necklace and her gift and the 'pukka' Why: The first, is tied to her as part of her belief system, second the gift was from a parting. Mode of Transportation: BMW Bug. A bright green one! (2004 model.)
Most at Ease When: Playing World of Warcraft or playing music or even doing any several hobbies that she has, or with Linc. Not When: In tense situations, conflicts, near spiders or sharp needle-like objects (With the exception of her needleworks.) Priorities: Working on her next big publishing, discovering the intricacies of social behavior when one is looking for a date. Philosophy: All work and no play makes someone dull, but be balanced. Know that everything you do does have a repercussion upon the earth.
How feels about Self: Complex. One minute she loves being herself and everything is in harmony, but the next instant she hates her body and the overall physical appearance. She denies the fact that it was her own doing that progressed how she looks and it would take herself to fix it with determination. Past Failures:letting herself become lazy and a few other things, minor but perhaps not to her. Embarrassed for Others to know, Why: Very much so. She wishes that she would be seen as a woman who knows what she is doing a great career woman. Expressions: Expressional face, she is like an open book. She can be funny at times, so say her co-workers. A joy to be around. Expletives: Any swear words, but because of this terrible habit she is trying to break herself of it, so instead she will make up phrases like "Oh toast oats!"
Daredevil or Cautious: Cautious to a fault some times. Even Alone? Even alone, although if it does strike her fancy she might be devilish herself. But that extends to going out to eat at the mall or going somewhere not in her usual routine. Lizzy isn't much with breaking routine, it upsets her. Optimist/Pessimist? Swings both ways. In happy moods she can be a bright ray of sunshine, in her darker mood... well. lets just say if manic describes depression, how about she tends to get into manic moods. It is similar to bi-polar except she has a whole wide range of feelings. Introvert/Extrovert? Introvert all the way. She does become extroverted sometimes, that is if she is comfortable enough. Drives/Motivations: Has lack there of in the physical department. She shies away from really hard things, and doesn't take well to being alone.
Talents: Music, writing which she has made jobs of, sewing, slightly crafty and artsy. Extremely Skilled at: Music and writing novels. Extremely Unskilled at: Math and spelling. Good Characteristics: Jovial, and kind. Very compassionate. Flaws: Can't say no. Clingy, insecure. (Typical Cancer the crab astrology wise.) Drinks What: Not much of a drinker, but at important social gatherings, she is a cheap-a** drunk, but at least she is a happy drunk when content, however does have a temper when provoked. (Luckily that isn't easy even in her imbibed mood.) When and How much? Usually whenever there is a gathering in which alcohol is served legally. Won't take things illegally. Being conservative - a glass of wine usually, but sometimes she may be frisky with a Fuzzy Navel. (A type of mixed drink.) Other Habits: Pill popper. She takes those bogus TV diet pills a lot because of her vast insecurities of her body. She hasn't developed other dietary problems yet however. Hobbies: Her work is also her hobby, but she also enjoys sewing and knitting as much as her music. How Rainy Day Spent? Crafting, or doing work if it is a work day. She doesn't get days off or anything, even if it is snowing out. If there's no electricity even - Lizzy will write by candle light.

Likes, Dislikes, Personality. (Cont.)
If Granted one Wish: To look pretty. Why: She doesn't feel that she does, and with every American seemingly to catch on this bug of being super thin is gorgeous... Its enough to twist anyone's head around. Biggest Regret: To not have found love for just being herself no matter what. Minor Regrets: Letting people walk over her. They are pinprick regrets that are stung for a moment and then disappear. Other times she harbors old hurts like shirts and puts them on occasionally but afterward they go back in the drawer to be worn again at a later date. Greatest Strength: Compassion Greatest Weakness: 'Soft', as not very strong physically but also emotionally, Lizzy can be unstable when her routines have been messed up. Soft Spot: Animals. Obvious to Others? Very. Biggest Vulnerability: To be stabbed emotionally, it is easy. Biggest Accomplishment: Earning her degree. Minor Accomplishments: Getting published.
One word Description of self: Fugly. It is a common combination of fat and ugly. Self considered Best Physical Characteristic: Eyes Self considered Worst Physical Characteristic: 'Fatness' Realistic Assessments? No. Why: The brain-washing culture has small affect over this. Thinks others perceive self: Fugly and smelly. Four things would like to change: Mostly her body shape. And wishing for a husband and child. Would be happy if done? Very. Why: That way she could wrap herself around in a protective shell of routine and happy family life. How does relate to Others: Kindly, and warm. She is generally accepting. Perceived by Strangers: She is a happy person, and she looks adorable, yes she's over weight but it doesn't look bad because she carries herself well. Friends: None too close. Just acquaintances. Wife/Husband/Lover: None Family/Friends like about most: Family - She is kind and giving... and has a great career going for her now. Family/Friends like about least: Family - Clingy, prone to her little mini depressions. They think she should go get that checked out.
Immediate Goals: Publish the next book. Long Range Goals: Publish a good few bestsellers, and be as popular as J.K. Rowling was. Plans to accomplish these goals: Work as hard as possible. How will Others be affected? There'll be no time for anyone else but herself and work, except for her Maine Coon cat - Linc. Will these change? Eventually, she isn't good at keeping long term plans. Reaction in Crisis: Panic. Complete and utter panic. Faces Problems: Hides and or pushes it away while trying to not think about it. Lizzy isn't much of a problem solver. Problems usually runs into: Snags in routines which are easily fixed. Reaction to New Problems: Ignores to the best of her ability. Reaction to Change: Panic like crises. She doesn't like too much of a radical change, small steps for Elizabeth.
Family, History Hometown: Semi-suburbs. One could say the middle of the arm. Cape Cod 'n the Islands. Education: Religious mostly - for that she resents her parents a little bit, however when she got older she got to choose where to go, so she went off to a trade school and college. Got a Bachelor's in English with a minor in Music Religion: Wicca, formerly Catholic. Finances: Based upon book to book, She's always had a healthy cushion and never needed anything or lived beyond her means. She learn how to cope as less is more especially for the environment. Spending Habits: On herself next to nothing, or anything important she would consider. Does What too Much: Play online games/ video games in general, tends to procrastinate. Too Little Of: Serious writing. Lizzy, has too few books written from her mother's tastes. Where Lives: In a condo in her hometown. She's never moved. Wants to Live Where: California, but knows she's too lazy and too secure to really get up and move away from her parents and family, to which she doesn't mind so much.
Mother: Emily Mary Sherwood (Vaughan is her maiden name which she took back up after divorcing the father.) Relationship: Very close. Almost inseparable they are two peas in a pod. Father: Alcide Theodore Sherwood Relationship: Mother divorced after brother was born, so there really isn't much of a relationship to speak of. Siblings: Brother - Solexus Thomas Sherwood How Many? One Birth Order: About a few hours younger. Relationship with Each: Solid, even if it was the terror-twin titan fights that started at a very young age. They didn't get less violent until the age of 10 or so. Children of Siblings: He hasn't gotten married yet, but he's still got his lures out for 'The One'. Extended Family? Unknown Close and Why: N/A Have Children? One on the way - unknown to her. She needed an appointment but never got there as she was wisked away to another world.
Most Important Person in char's Life: Linc, her cat whom she dotes on like a child. Why: He's the constant companion of Lizzy. Anything Else?: See RP Below. (When I get it up there.)

Rakshasa - Rakshasa, Hindu mythology by Wiki // Rakshasa, fiction by WikiUnfortunetly Encyclopedia Mythica did not have much elaborations for Rakshasa. I would base the Rakshasa on the Dungeons and Dragons visage. Though not have nearly as powerful shapshifting abilities (If at all.) Just magic, since Rakshasa are demons. But why a Rakshasa? When I first got into Dungeons and Dragons, I really, really loved tigers and werecreatures. Weretigers even, so any monsters that were even remotely cat-liked I adored. (Of course I had discovered Dragons too but there are ... in my tastes too many dragon based Changed characters running around a the moment.) I looked up Rakshasas, and they had an interesting mythos but I had soon forgotten them. When I found this place I immediately thought of Kirin which are a little too draconic. Perhaps I may quest for a second character later on. Remembering my roots I rediscovered the Rakshasa. They were demonic entities by the Hindu mythology with a wonderful catty twist to them from 'DnD'. Why not have something in the Changed truly change to something Demonic? The opposite attitudes from a softy, squeemish woman to a bloodthirsty reversed handed demon-tiger-manthing demanding sacrifices for worship would be interesting. Will there be a shred or two of humanity left in Lizzy? Will she even give birth to demon babies? (As she was pregnant when wisked away to this world!) How will she work on a day to day basis with her hands reversed? (In DnD, Rakshasa had the palm part of their hands where the back of the hand be, and vice versa. So her thumbs would be sticking out instead of in like regular humans.) Picture of a DnD Rakshasa -

Never roam alone. The Pukka - A mini crystal skull. After going to one of her favorite shops for herbs and such she found this truly unique statuette of a crystal skull with glyphs on them and decorated as if it came right out of a Hindu shrine of some sort. Lizzy doesn't know anything about the Hindu or their culture, but... sometimes things seem to call out to her. She heeded this 'call' despite the chills it made flow down her spine as she looked upon the skull. Besides she was still in a slightly unstable frame of mind since the... 'accident' as she terms it since she has totally ignored the problem or potential problem that may occur.
