elysa is just a big squishy soft earth witch that is afraid of everything and lets her sister drag her out to too many crazy things. she comes from a blended family of her mom, her half sister, and her half sister's mom after their dad died of ~*mysterious*~ circumstances pushing the family to move to portland. she's idealistic and sensitive and tries to believe in the best in people and spends way too much time hiding outside in the woods with her books!
