A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.

In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

CHARACTER
Name: Elizabeth
Canon: Persona 3 FES/Portable
Timeline: A couple years after she’s left the Velvet Room (So technically during P4, when her sister mentions her)
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A

Personality:

(Elizabeth is from the male play-through, all dates completed.)

To start, Elizabeth is woefully naïve to the world of the protagonist (Minato) and takes many things too seriously. She’s also completely oblivious to many social customs and often leaps before looking. This doesn’t apply entirely to everyday life though, merely new experiences of which there are many since she doesn’t live within Minatos’ realm. In the Velvet Room, she behaves responsibly and keeps to her duties in serving as Keeper of the Compendium and as Igor’s assistant, though not as diligently as her little brother. Even after all the ‘dates’ she goes on, she continues her duty in the Velvet Room instead of pursuing a potential relationship with Minato.

She’s constantly cheerful, finding joy and fascination in even the most simple of tasks… Like putting almost one million yen into three water fountains to make a wish. And then forgetting to make a wish, it was that exciting for her, literally. This also implies that she’s very generous. She doesn’t easily believe something is superstition alone, assuming that the coin offers that others made were not sufficient enough to pique the “fountain spirits” interest.

Elizabeth tends to be quite empathetic as well, comforting Aigis after Minato is gone and the android is still grieving. It’s not clear in ‘The Answer’ about Elizabeth’s feelings, in fact it’s not shown at all (since it can be played independently from ‘The Journey’) but she was grieving as well since she had come to love Minato.

She also sought desperately to find the true meaning to her life, something that she was destined to do since the moment she set foot in the Velvet Room, as are all guests and residents of the mysterious room. Elizabeth went so far as to ask Minato to fight her at the top of the (bonus) dungeon, Monad. She was defeated however, something only her sister had only ever been capable of doing, and did not find the answer she was seeking. She did learn, however, that only she can find the answer to her life and was still quite thankful, presenting Minato with one of her prized possessions: a bookmark, again showing her generosity and the depth of her feelings towards him.

The young attendant isn’t at all shy, having no problems with starting to dance in the middle of public and grew excited at the thought of karaoke or the arcade and even attempts to convince her master to turn the Velvet Room into a club.

And she definitely lacks a clear understanding of our world, assuming that escalators test a persons wits and pitfalls test a persons strength. Like her brother, she can tell the secret ingredients in food just by the smell… And then takes the saleslady for the takoyaki seriously when she claims that the food will “-make you smile so wide, your cheeks will fall off!” and assumes normal citizens can’t buy takoyaki very easily. She then proceeded to take Minato around to every food place in Iwatodai Strip Mall and eat more than seven meals, ending up surprised when she found out he couldn’t handle so many meals.

On a date to the Naganaki Shrine, Elizabeth discovered the slide and jungle gym there and thought that the playground equipment worked as a way to teach children how the world works. And then ended up getting stuck in the jungle gym and attempting to balance on a bar. She learned just how much fun she could have, especially when with Minato.

Mostly, she just looks too deeply into things and attempts to make them seem more important a task or event than it actually is during her first forays into the world of Minato and the rest of SEES and she learned a lot, glad for each one and likening them to valuable gems. Mentioned earlier, she’s naïve to the ways of the protags worlds, but she claims to be quite aware of the meaning behind going into a young mans room with him.

First Person:

Oh. This is different. It’s certainly not where I was going, this place won’t help me at all.

I’ll have to go back, I won’t be able to free him--

[She pauses as she takes note of the watch.]

Well, what have we here? A watch?

Hmm… I don’t recall watches ever doing this before. Such a quaint little device. Is anyone watching this video?

Third Person:

“Persona!” Elizabeth shouted, smashing a card drawn from a thick tome. Nebiros, the general of Hell, heeded the call of the golden eyed woman and attack the looming figure of Erebus. Behind it, a stone figure was suspended in the air, the soul of the young man she had come to release. The danger to herself was minimal, Theodore and Margaret could assist Master Igor if anything were to happen to her.

Nobody could help Minato though. So long as Erebus attempted to make contact with Nyx, Minato could never be freed. And Erebus would never stop existing. There had to be an alternative, some Persona that could seal Erebus as well.

“I won’t let you hurt him! Even if I must spend an eternity fighting you!” She spent so long trying to get here, to help him. She left her duties as attendant in the Velvet Room for this task. She held her own, well enough, against Margaret once. She could handle Erebus for a time, bond her powers with those of Minato’s friends to save him.

And then a thought struck her. What if… She gave her own soul to act as a seal, if that didn‘t work? It would free him, exactly as she had set out to do. As much as she had come to care for him, it was a risk she was willing to take. Otherwise, she would act as a second seal with him, if he could not be freed.
