Why/Biography (can be separate): Elizabeth grew up in London, England. She had an older brother who was 4 years older than her and a younger brother who was 3 years younger than her, and her parents were both obsessed with their careers. Her mother was a fashion designer, and her father was the CEO of a muggle company. Her mother designed dresses for muggles and witches alike. Their businesses flourished, and Elizabeth and her older brother, William, were often left alone at home, along with their younger brother Ami. Will took care of her, and she cooked for him. They were best friends, and they didn't mind their parents constant absence so much.
Her parents often took vacations alone, leaving the kids at home, though they sometimes took family vacations once a year. For their anniversary, they were going to Paris, France. They were in a car accident, and they were killed on the spot. So Elizabeth, at the age of 14, was an orphan. Her brother was 18, so he took care of her, and they lived in their parents house together with their younger brother, Ami, who was 11. Her brother never dated anyone, for he didn't want them to take away his time with his sister. Time moved on, and Will eventually found a girl he liked. He brought her home to meet Elizabeth and Ami, and the two girls hit it off right then. They were 16 and 20 at the time.
Their parents money allowed them a very comfortable lifestyle, both in the muggle and wizarding world. His girlfriend was a witch, also, one of pure blood, and they were engaged a year later. Elizabeth was 17 at the time, and the two girls worked together to plan her wedding. Elizabeth had gotten her mother's talent at designs, and she designed her wedding dress. They sent it to her mother's company, and they created it for her. A lot of money was needed to pay for it, but they had plenty. Besides, Elizabeth had gotten a generous amount for her work. When she turned 18, the wedding took place. They went home, she with a sister-in-law, and her brother with a wife. Will's wife, Rachel, was right at home, and it was a peaceful time.
Soon, Elizabeth decided that she wanted to pursue a career in the wizarding world. She had always been rather exceptional at Defense Against the Dark Arts, and she decided she wanted a job teaching the subject. So she learned even more, reading books that were forbidden and rare to find. She learned about the Dark Arts, thus to learn better ways of defending against it, and fell in love with the subjects and everything it involved. Once she was 23, she left her brother's house to pursue her dreams, much wiser than she had been at the age of 18. She was determined to find a job, and so she began her search.

Personality: Elizabeth is a very headstrong girl. If she wants something, she'll get it, no matter what it takes to do so. She doesn't give in, but she isn't foolish, either. She uses her head and thinks before she acts or speaks, and she is highly intelligent. She will flirt with men, but she isn't easy. She is quite a mystery until you get to know her, as she will seem interested one minute and uninterested the next. It's just one part of her that is always confusing to people.
She isn't shy, by far, and she won't hesitate to call you out. She is a leader, and she will gladly punish a student if they do something against the rules. As a teacher, she will assign quite a bit of homework, but she is a more hands-on teacher than a by-the-book teacher. She knows how to have fun and keep the students interested at the same time. She loves to have fun, smile, and laugh, and she does so quite frequently. She is an interesting person, and far from what people would expect of her. She isn't some airhead blonde, but rather more of an intelligent woman. She hates stereotypes, and she will gladly squash any rumors about herself with ease.
Physical Appearance: Elizabeth is a very beautiful woman. She doesn't brag or anything, but she knows she isn't ugly. She has dirty blonde hair that falls in waves if she doesn't dry and straighten it. Her eyes are a rich, chocolate color with flecks of green in them. Her lips are a deeper shade of pink, and she has a very small frame. Her body is very fit, and she has a nice, flat stomach. She is cut, and she has the 'perfect legs', as some would put it. They aren't chicken legs, but they aren't huge and flabby. They are in between.
Her hair seems a little highlighted. It seems to be darker, dirtier blonde with some richer highlights, which is mostly due to the sun. She stands at about 5'7" and weighs about 124 lbs. She is rather athletic, and she loves to swim, thus her great body. She isn't shy to wear somewhat revealing clothes, but she isn't a slut, and nor will she dress as such. She tends to avoid jewelry, but she will wear some on certain occasions.
Other: She goes by Liz to her friends. Her students must call her Professor James, though...
