At the table

Voice

Her voice has the slightly dry edge of someone accustomed to speaking over household bustle, with a little breath caught at the start of questions she cares about. She articulates clearly when giving practical advice; under stress her words speed up and arrive in clipped, useful fragments. She does not naturally whisper when angry, but speaks more sharply and directly.

Elizabeth speaks in clear, practical phrases shaped by household work: she notices what needs doing and tends to name it directly. Her questions often arrive with a small qualification or a hypothetical preface when the subject is personal. Her word choices are more precise when discussing fabric and etiquette than when discussing fear.

Speech patterns

Begins personal questions as if they were about someone else: "If a person wanted to say hello, would that sound foolish?"
Asks William to judge small details, then challenges his answer if it is too blunt.
Uses specific observations about clothing to ease into more difficult conversations.
When frightened, asks practical questions in quick succession rather than describing what scared her.

How to play them

Elizabeth warms to people who answer her questions without laughing at them. She will readily discuss clothing and manners, then cautiously test whether a visitor can be trusted with her more frightening story. Mentioning William or offering to help her rehearse a conversation makes her more forthcoming. Mocking her crush or her account of the Reflection closes her off.

Goal

Find a way to speak honestly with the boy she likes and learn whether the face in the window was truly the Reflection.

Motivation

To be taken seriously without losing the closeness she has with William, and to discover what she saw before fear turns into rumor.

Secret · GM only

Appearance

Elizabeth is a fair-skinned, ashy-blond girl with clear blue eyes flecked with small brown spots, like grains of toasted spice scattered across the irises. Her hair has a dry, soft-looking texture and usually escapes its pins in wisps around her temples. She moves with quick, precise steps, turning her shoulders sideways through crowded rooms as though slipping between hanging dresses. She smells faintly of lavender sachets, wool dust, and the warm iron used to press clothes. Unexpectedly, she keeps a collection of beetle shells in a tiny box and can identify several by touch alone.

Clothing

A carefully mended blue-gray wool dress with a narrow waist sash, a cream blouse, and practical shoes kept clean at the toes. She wears a small brass pin shaped like a beetle, more for her own amusement than fashion.

Body language

She turns toward whoever is speaking with her whole body, then keeps her hands busy with a cuff, ribbon, or loose thread. When she is uncertain, she presses her thumb against the side of her forefinger and watches the listener's face for a reaction. She takes care not to stand directly in front of a dark window.

Personality

13 traits and drives

Elizabeth is candid about practical things and evasive about the feelings that matter most. She can confidently advise someone else on manners, then stumble over a greeting when the boy she likes appears. In good spirits she is curious and quick with playful corrections; when embarrassed she becomes brisk and busies herself with a task. Fear makes her attentive rather than helpless, though she may fixate on small details to avoid naming what frightens her.

Alignment
Neutral good

Quirks

Arranges buttons or coins into pairs while thinking, then becomes mildly annoyed if someone disrupts the pattern.
Taps a fabric seam twice before saying whether it will hold.
Keeps beetle shells in a little box and labels each one with the place she found it.
Practices greetings under her breath using different levels of formality, then pretends she was counting stitches.

Habits

Offers unsolicited but usually accurate advice about collars, hems, and whether someone's outfit suits the occasion.
When excited, she begins arranging nearby objects into neat pairs without noticing.
Before entering a dim room, she checks windows and polished surfaces from an angle.
When embarrassed, she changes the subject by asking someone else a practical question.

That William will dismiss her account as childish or become overprotective.
Making herself ridiculous in front of the boy she likes.

Wants and needs · 4

To be treated as capable and trusted with difficult truths.
A chance to speak with the boy she likes without an audience.
A way to understand what she saw without being left alone with it.
Reassurance from William that concern does not mean he thinks her foolish.

Combat

AC 10 · HP 5 · 30 ft.

Elizabeth avoids combat. She tries to put furniture, a doorway, or a stronger ally between herself and danger, then calls for help and escapes. If cornered, she uses whatever is at hand to make an opening, not to pursue an opponent.

Languages
Common
Civilian, not a trained combatant. Ability scores use a D&D-style six-attribute scale; combat figures are custom low-threat values rather than a claim of a particular edition's stat block.
Quick-Eyed. Elizabeth has advantage on noticing changes to clothing, posture, and small details in a familiar room.
Reflection's Glimpse (custom): In dim light, Elizabeth once saw the Reflection's face in a dark window. She cannot call it forth or control it, but recognizes its outline if it appears again.

Actions

Hastily Raised Sewing Shears. Melee Weapon Attack: to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2 () bludgeoning damage. Elizabeth would rather use this to make space and flee than to hurt someone.
Sharp Warning. Elizabeth calls for help, points out a nearby exit, or warns an ally of an immediate danger. This has no mechanical effect on creatures that cannot hear or understand her.

Reactions

Slip Toward Safety. When a creature she can see moves within 5 feet, Elizabeth can use her reaction to move up to 5 feet toward an open doorway or nearby ally without provoking an opportunity attack. She cannot use this reaction if her path is blocked or she is restrained.

Background

Elizabeth grew up in the same working household as her brother, William Windon, and learned early that a clean collar could matter as much as a clean conscience when asking a favor. She has always studied people by the things they try to hide: a strained seam, a rehearsed greeting, a glance held half a second too long. She brings William questions about clothes and manners, and lately about the boy she likes, though she insists those last questions are merely hypothetical. One winter evening, while carrying a lamp past a darkened window, she glimpsed the Reflection's face where her own should have been. She dropped the lamp, but the face remained in her memory. Since then, she checks glass and polished metal before entering a dark room. Now she wants to speak to the boy without making a fool of herself, while also trying to learn whether the Reflection was a trick of shadow or a warning. William is the person she trusts most, though she worries that telling him everything will make him treat her as fragile.

Role in the story

William Windon's younger sister and a perceptive civilian who can draw the party into domestic, romantic, or supernatural complications. Her account of the Reflection offers a personal clue, while her ordinary hopes keep the mystery grounded in everyday life.

“She has always studied people by the things they try to hide: a strained seam, a rehearsed greeting, a glance held half a second too long.”
