Elaine Weathers

Name: Elaine Weathers

Age: 15

Height: 5'5

Hair: Short, red, and spiky

Eyes: Hazel

Complexion: Slightly tan

Ethnicity: American-Irish

Clothing: Dirty white T-shirt tied in the corner with a hair tie. Baggy blue jeans and worn brown tennis shoes.

Story/Series: The Silver Sphere

Role: Owner of the Sphere. Negotiator.

Strengths: Experienced in travel. Familiar with different cultures and usually pretty well up-to-date in their history. Can negotiate well.

Weaknesses: Gets frightened easily, and therefore is more willing to flee before fighting. In other words, a coward.

History: Became owner of the Sphere once the previous owner retired and handed it off to her after two years of travel. She has been traveling non-stop since, and hasn't looked back with regret even once.

Accessories/trinkets: Carries a drawstring canvas bag around for the Sphere. Also has a pair of silver-black headphones around her neck in order to communicate with (listen to) the Sphere.

Family: Lived with her older sister and father. She didn't get along very well with either, and didn't think they would miss her much when she decided to leave.

Personality: A bit awkward around new travelers at first, but always has to be the first to make contact with them anyway. Even after she becomes friends with them (assuming that happens) she still talks with them politely and respectfully. She never really teases, and has an awareness for personal space. She's a sucker for sob stories, and therefore is very sympathetic. Words come naturally to her, which is the reason she's the negotiator.

Fears: She has many, but her biggest fear is that she will never stop traveling, even though she enjoys it.

This is one of my main characters for my story the Silver Sphere. It's hard to summarize, but I've done my best:

There's always someone who wants out. Everywhere, anywhere, there is always a person that's dying to escape their lives and find what they really want, even if they don't know what it is. And if these people are lucky, one day, they'll meet a stranger who will show them the Silver Sphere and, if they desire, take them to find their dream and life's purpose. Even if it takes them across the galaxy.

Every Owner meets their share of people who long for something more, and have stolen them away from their dead-end lives and given them purpose. Several years pass between Owners, and for them there is always a much larger and more important lesson and desire for them to learn of. But there is always something in common between them. Heart, and an unquenchable thirst for adventure.
