Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Elissia Livingston

Age: 20

Birthday: August 12th, 1998

Sign: Leo

Gemstone: Ruby

Blood Type: 0-

Fav. Food: Mandarin oranges, honestly any fruit for that matter. She has a bit of a sweet tooth but actually does not care much for candy bars.

Hated Food: Super spicy food, mild spice is okay though.

School: She is currently taking online courses at night while working full time.

Hobbies:

Falconry: There are cat people and dog people; while Elissia doesn't particularly dislike either she is definitely more of a bird person, bird of prey to be specific. When she was in her early teens she had a hand in rescuing an injured hawk and took it to a rehabilitation center affiliated with the local zoo. It's condition continued to decline over the next few days until she came to visit. While not typical, the the person overseeing the hawks rehabilitation offered her an opportunity to help. This is what jump started her passion for training birds of prey. Elissia doesn't actually do the hunting portion of falconry however she has trained birds for people who do. Most of the work she does with them is with the intent to rehabilitate and release them back into the wild, though some of the birds have become too attached to people and are instead used for teaching purposes. Three times a week she goes to the zoo and assists with the the Realm of Flight bird show, teaching visitors about the magnificent creatures. She works hands on with various owls, hawks, a golden eagle and a harpy eagle.

Wire Wrapping: There is something very therapeutic when it comes to wrapping wires around unusual color or shaped stones in a new and unique design. None of the jewelry she has made were former tutorials found online or in books. Self taught, Elissia has created over three-hundred pieces of jewelry most of which have been given away as gifts.

Gardening/ Floral Arranging: This is mostly a seasonal holiday since she enjoys working with freshly cut flowers. One of her part time jobs is actually at a floral shop down town, they do designs for large events including, but not limited to, weddings and cooperate events. In terms of gardening though it is more so to grow flowers for her own personal use. Unfortunately she is no landscape architect so her yard isn't exactly picture worthy but the flowers she grows sure are.

Virtues:
Caring/giving: A kind gesture goes a long way. If she makes something, be it a piece of jewelry or flower arrangement, it often times is because she has a person in mind and intends to give it as a gift. Unless it is by request or commission Elissia does not use her hobbies as a means to make money; they are a means to bring happiness to someone.

Loyal:Once you have her trust, Elissia is a very loyal individual and will come when called. Doesn't matter what time of night it is, if you need her she will do her best to be there. She is not an opportunist who would turn on her friends or allies at the drop of a hat.

Flaws:
Untrusting: Elissia is not naive enough to out right trust a person because they smile at her kindly. More often than not she assumes that a person has ulterior motives for speaking with her or that they want something from her. While she is not out right rude to a person it is pretty clear by her lack of expression that she's skeptical of their motives or is uneasy by their presence. There is no rhyme or reason, that she'll tell anyone, as to why she responds like this; however when asked her normal reply is that it's just a feeling.

Headstrong: Once she has made her mind up on something it is difficult to get her to change it, even with a compelling argument. In her mind it is far better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission and to accept the consequences that come along with those decisions. Telling her not to do something for the sake of saying no without any sort of reasoning is a good way to get her to do it anyway.
