identifying features • Elodie was not graced with a lot of height. She stands at 5’-3” but often wears heels to help make her look taller. The girl claims her legs as her best feature, next to her arms – so they’re frequently highlighted. A firm believer in color, Elodie isn’t often seen in what she dubs mourning colors. If pants are involved, it’s either jeans or leggings. A formal pair of pants like slacks feels too uptight to her. Long cascades of brunette-turned-strawberry-blonde hair sit in perfect waves. Elodie likes to keep it down to frame her face, as she can be self-conscious about her jawline.

dislikes • her biological father (a strong hatred), litter, meat (is vegetarian), rethreading sergers
strengths • oil painting, strong swimmer
weaknesses • her family, banana split sundaes (the more whipped cream and cherries, the better), tropical drinks
dreams • to meet her bio mom, travel the world, inherit the shop, have a gallery show
fears • not meeting her person, something happening to the shop, early death
overall personality • Elodie is the opposite of her moody, flat-faced twin. She always has a big smile on her face, looking to meet people and make friends. A social butterfly, Elodie likes being around people - but never the center of attention. Even if it means just going to the bar and not even talking with anyone. She likes the idea of being around folks. Of course, she loves her downtime too - and will escape to hear the waves to calm herself down.
Despite her idea of a long-term commitment - Elodie is in her sleeping around phase. There's a thrill to her of finding someone, sleeping with them, and then possibly never seeing them again. She knows that it won't last forever, but she is allowing herself some fun to hopefully find the person who she wants to spend her life with.

overall history • Perry and Elodie were born to Patrick and an unknown woman. Patrick, never took the fatherly role, leaving his children to be taken care of by his mother, Marina. Growing up, Perry tried his best to connect with his dad, often leading him to steal things to get the approval of his father. It never worked. Birthdays were always missed, and Perry was left disappointed.
Elodie got over the fact that her father was never around, something that Perry often looked at her oddly over. Maybe it was because she realized she didn't need a father and plenty of other non-blood family people in her life. Of course, there were times she wished had her dad for the daddy-daughter dances. But in the end, Elodie realized she didn't need to waste her time on a person who forgot she existed.
It was hard to watch her brother struggle, but she wanted her own life, too. Like the namesake of her grandma's shop - Elodie took to the water as a coping mechanism. Being able to escape the outside world, and drown out the pain she felt. She found free diving and mermaid performances after watching a troupe come through when she was young. It wasn't something that came naturally to her, but with rigours training - Elodie achieved her goals of freediving and becoming a mermaid. While she isn't traveling extensively with her performance, it gives her enough cushion cash.
Other than her performance art, Elodie loves working at her grandmother's shop. She teaches sewing and repair work to beginners and intermediate stitchers. She tends to keep busy, mainly because she likes it. Her relaxation time is often spent at her easel or lounging on her back deck listening to the waves.
Elodie is happily renovating a seaside cottage, a recent purchase from years of savings. She is hoping to find her person soon but is happy with flings and short terms at the moment.
