Innocent, calm and tranquil are three words that would describe Eliza, she never gets too stressed or over excited about things. Usually she just bottles problems up inside and eventually they resurface unexpectedly. She often liked to be alone and enjoys spending time by herself, though once you get to know her, she'll enjoy almost anyone's company. Eliza is open-minded and likes to give everyone a chance.

Everything was perfect, the candles were lit around the blanket that he had lain out ahead of time. All of the sudden everything in their relationship seemed perfect, despite the troubles they had. Usually things were awesome between them, but then there were the times... No, she didn't want to think about this right now. She wanted to keep everything perfect. He turned to reached into the picnic basket, it was dark out, Eliza couldn't see much other then the candle light flickering across his features. He gently took her hand. "Will you marry me?" His voice whispered as he opened the small velvet box...
