personality ( 5+ lines )
Eliza is incredibly curious about the world around her, easily enchanted by even small details. Despite the fact that Eliza acknowledges her dependent nature, she is incredibly resilient. This trait is exhibited whenever she is faced with a dire situation. Rather than backing down, Eliza channels her emotions within herself to find a solution. She is imaginative, and when she is in distress or has to overcome a difficult task, she usually escapes into another world, pretending to be someone else who is fit for the role.
This stemmed from having to entertain herself when alone. She has a great love for the arts, whether that be singing or writing or acting out plays in her head. Her greatest love however, is for art itself. Painting and drawing and sculpting things.
She is so unwaveringly trusting and kind to everyone she meets. There had been many times she had been going through something and when people had treated her with cruelty, it made everything worse. So she decides to be caring to everyone and believe what they say. She will deal with the let down if it comes.
Often when people tell her that she needs to be less gullible, she doesn't let it affect her. She simply says "You shouldn't make a flaw out of something because others are cruel".
She feels bad if she hurts someone's feelings, whether intentionally or not. She loves to help others and whenever she sees that someone is upset, she does her best to cheer them up.
That's the thing. Eliza doesn't get scary angry, she gets devastatingly disappointed. She brings people down with calm retorts and downcast eyes. Whether or not it's intentional, it is very effective on anyone who has wronged her. She often uses the same method when someone hurts her friends. She only lost her temper with someone once and they are still afraid of her. The outlet for the temper she doesn't show is fencing, a talent picked up from her father.
Overall, Eliza is a sweet but gullible girl, who is doing everything she can to reimmerse herself back into the every day. She thinks she is doing a rather good job of it too.

backstory (5+ lines )
Eliza was born to a single mother, Catherine, living off the wage of a maid. Though they were not very rich, they were happy and oh so very close. The family Catherine worked for let her bring Eliza to work with her as long as she behaved, and it was as if her little self knew she needed to be quiet because she didn't cause any trouble. The family grew close to both of them but the master's son, William took a fancy to Catherine. He did something radical and asked for his maids hand in marriage, but don't think he had all good intentions. He set about making both Catherine and Eliza more fit for upper class society. In reality he wanted a wife he was always going to be superior to. When Eliza turned 14 William began talking about suitors and whatnot but her mother insisted she continue her reading and learning for a bit longer. She delayed it 4 years, to the anger of William. The selection came around however and well...now we're here.

winning strategy
She doesn't really have one??? Really and truly she doesn't want to win, she wants to go home to her mother.
