History
Date of Birth: May 7th, 1960
Home: Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Family: Jacqueline Hanson (parent; father unknown, no siblings)
Awakening: Preordainment (poor single-family household, mother a maid for a rich family estate, the Dunlaps; Elisabeth also became a maid there, and she envied the wealth and lifestyle, and even fell in love with the son, Allen; the family blocked the romance, so she fucked off to college, hoping to make something more of herself; while there, a professor who was Verbena sensed her potential as Wyck and lured Elisabeth into "extracurricular studies", and through the witchy rites, helped stir Elisabeth's Avatar), 1979
Mentor: Ellen Blakely
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (though a sharp apprentice, her darker Resonance and destiny drove her apart from Professor Blakely and she sought her own path, first finishing university)
Comrades: Jack Doyle
Key Event #1: Personal Tragedy (she returned to Boston to rekindle her romance with Allen, but her own mother opposed and sabotaged the romance, so she left home and decided to travel abroad)
Key Event #2: Personal Tragedy (in Tuscany in Italy she fell in love anew with a talented artist named Araldo Rosetti, but Toreador vampires Embraced him)
Key Event #3: War (she fell to the warpath, letting her blood witch primordial Avatar govern her; she crusaded against the Kindred out of spite, accepting mercenary contracts from Sleepers to rid them of the local "monsters" only enough to cover her costs)
Key Event #4: War (it got too dangerous to stay in Italy, so she returned to Boston again, and discovered Allen had been ghouled by the Kindred of that city, Kindred who sought to purge the local Verbena coven, too; she tugged her old flame with the wealthy heir and vindicated herself of Boston, clearing out the coterie of Kindred and Allen himself, before fleeing west—with Professor Blakely's begrudging gratitude in the form of a talisman token)
Key Event #5: Awe & Wonder (Elisabeth settled in Kansas City, where she met Jack Doyle; their mature romance blossomed and they even started a family--two sets of twins: James and Andrew, then Zoe and Constance)
Key Event #6: Personal Tragedy (Jack's old rivalry with the Giovanni vampires brought the undead back into Elisabeth's life, but this time far more brutally, using mafia war tactics, including a car bomb that seemed to kill Elisabeth and all four kids, leaving Jack in miserable fury; in truth, she survived and used her talisman to escape to Horizon with her slain children; there a flash of desperate inspiration fueled her mastery of Life, and she literally resurrected her dead children)
Transition: Shift in Purpose (the process took years even though it felt like mere minutes; however, once her children were safe and secured in Horizon with trusted fellow Wyck, she returned to the Tellurian, rejoined Jack, and began a path of bloody revenge against the vampires)

Weakness
Whimsy of Woman
Elisabeth is pure Wyck, purer than most, in her magickal way's most frightening and wonderful and divine aspects. She is a primordial powerhouse of love, sex, motherhood, blood, and vengeance.
Likelihood of Corruption
Very low.
She's too savagely pure to easily corrupt.
