Personality: Elise is a kind sweet, well mannered, and noble person. She genuinely cares about Soleanna and its citizens, and will do almost anything to ensure that they are kept safe. She has certainly had a pretty rough childhood, but still seems to have turned out pretty well adjusted despite losing both her parents and being forced by the sense of duty to her people, to take over ruling Soleanna when she was really still just a child.

Family:
Mother: Queen Elisabeth II (deceased)
Father: Duke of Soleanna (deceased)

Transport: "Naida" A small boat with wings that can fold out of the way. It was designed for her by her father who helped with the building of the boat as well. It is capable of carrying a maximum of four people. In addition to being able to navigate the waterways of the water city of Soleanna, the ship can also fly. However, flight doubles fuel consumption, reducing its range to 50 miles or so.

Soleanna Military: Of the advisors, the military advisor is the only one who still retains any direct control over anything. He commands the entire Soleanna military, though he can't go to war or launch any large attack without Elise's approval. The city-state's small military consists of a small navy with various classes of ships, and a general city defense force. The defense force has a couple squadrons of hover tanks, and several more light troop carrier vehicles, which are capable of limited flight (Max 35-45 feet above ground depending on terrain.) The ground troops make up a small battalion of around 350 soldiers. The main weapon technology for the entire military is laser weapons/cannons. While Soleanna's forces are well trained, and technologically advanced, they are generally inexperienced, since Soleanna has enjoyed peace for many years.

Also of note, is that Soleanna itself is protected by several large laser turrets that are hidden along the perimeter of the city. Once activated, they will rise up into firing position, and track targets with a combination of motion sensors, radar, and thermal imaging. Each turret is controlled by it's own proprietary computer, but the turrets are networked so that they can all be activated at once, and share information about the enemy targets.

Biography: Elise has lived in Soleanna her whole life, where she was born. Her mother died when Elise was very young. Her father then began experimental work to attempt time travel, in order to see the late queen again, and correct the past sins of humanity. It was called the Solaris Project, and the unstable nature of the project would end up taking the duke’s life as well as he used himself as a shield to protect Elise from the exploding machine.

When the machine of the project exploded, the ‘Flames of Hope’ split into two forms, Iblis, the raw power, and Mephiles, the conscious mind. Shadow and Silver then appeared, having both time traveled back to this moment to find out what had happened. They split up to pursue both Iblis and Mephiles. Shadow was able to seal Mephiles within the Scepter of Darkness, which the Duke had given him, while Silver corners Iblis and paralyzes him with his psychokinesis. The Duke, with no other option, uses this opportunity to use the silver Chaos Emerald in a ritual to seal Iblis within Elise's soul, and entrusts Silver to take her to a safe place while in his dying words, telling Elise to be brave and not to cry no matter what happens. Silver takes Elise out of the laboratory and both he and Shadow return to the present.

These events leave Soleanna with no known living members of the royal family apart from young Elise. Her father taught her well, but she was still only seven years old, far too young to rule alone. Her father’s advisors took a commanding role in keeping the city-state running, but made sure to keep Elise involved in everything so that she could continue to learn. Elise knew her people needed a leader in these tough times, and took an even stronger interest in both the people of Soleanna, and in learning in detail it’s political history in order to hopefully be a better leader.

By the force of necessity, she grew up fast. Just 5 years after the death of her father, at the tender age of 13, Elise officially became the ruling princess of Soleanna, and the advisors returned to their advisory role. Elise would come to be known as a benevolent leader who deeply cares for her people, desiring nothing more than the peace and prosperity of Soleanna’s citizens. She is still a bit naïve about the way of the world at large because she is so young and sheltered, but this is counteracted a bit by her intelligence and willingness to take the advice of her advisors, whom once worked with her father.

Life in Soleanna was rather peaceful and uneventful in the years that followed, up until the year Elise turned seventeen that is. Something very strange comes to happen during the Festival of the Sun. A festival which honors the sun god Solaris, whom most of the city worship. Elise was down in the heart of the city, celebrating along with everyone else when suddenly the clouds in the sky began to twist in a spiral, then suddenly there was a bright flash, and everyone blacked out for a while. When everyone came too, no one really seemed to notice anything was different, as the city-state was left intact. It eventually became clear though, that the world they now found themselves in, was heavily altered. Elise urged the citizens of Soleanna to remain calm, while she sent out a couple small scouting parties to explore this new world and find out what happened and if there were any new neighboring nations, friendly or hostile, that they should be aware of. As yet, she has not heard back from the scouts.

Moves/Combat Style:
Elise has had no combat training whatsoever, and thus has no idea how to really fight. Her only remarkable ability is some sort of supernatural ability to form a sphere of energy, which makes her and one additional person, to be able to move across water or any other similar surface, or even hover a short distance. It is unknown where this power comes from, but it is speculated that it is drawn from Iblis.

Strengths:
Elise may not know how to fight, but she is still very healthy and physically fit. She is also pretty intelligent, and a good leader, since her people like her so much, they tend to do what she asks without much question.

Weaknesses:
While not exactly a complete weakling for a girl her size, she's still really just an average human and certainly isn’t going to be winning any contests of physical strength. She also has no combat training at all, and would be more likely to allow others to fight on her behalf if possible. While she is smart, her naiveté does still show at times, as she hasn’t really gotten out of Soleanna in her life, and the outside world is somewhat alien to her.
