Biography
Elizabeth was born to a middle class family. When the Great War broke out her father went to fight and her mother went to work in a factory to aid the war effort. Elizabeth went to live with her uncle at an all boys military academy in the mean time. Shortly after, her mother’s factory was bombed her uncle became her guardian. Though he loved Elizabeth, he did not go easy on her because she was a girl. She enrolled in the academy and grew up there. After graduating, she joined the 1st American Volunteer Group, Air Corps division (the flying tigers) as a drop medic. Her squadron was sent to the pacific. There she stayed doing her duty until she discovered her commander was selling the 1st AVG’s services to the wealthy. Her commander organized a mission with the intent to run American forces away from Axis forces. Elizabeth convinced her squadron to disobey his orders and meet the enemy head-on. The 1st AVG was outnumbered severely and the Squadron was decimated. Elizabeth was labeled a traitor and so she went AWOL to get more evidence of treason for her commander. When on her way to Chicago to meet an informant, she saw a large dog fight in the sky involving the Airship Isabella. When the Isabella crashed, Elizabeth investigated the site for patients. The Isabella, quick to leave Xion kept Elizabeth aboard but appreciated her skills as a medic enough not to throw her to the aether.
