I saw them kill my parents and they expect me to come quietly? Well, I am just because I don't talk.
Smart and feisty when she was younger, Elizabeth is completely subdued and even fearful. She lives in constant fear of the savages that live not far from her family's farm, and will shrink and hide at the smallest sign of arrival of the monsters. She is still brave at heart, but hasn't found a reason to show it, because people still protect her. She is a mute, meaning that she has the ability to speak, but the will is not quite there.
Elizabeth Blake was born the only child of Edward and Francesca Blake, a wealthy couple that owned a prosperous farm in the town of Amarillo. When she was only 13, she witnessed an Indian raid on her house. While she was hiding in the cellar, she watched as her father was killed, brutally, and scalped, and her mother was raped, scalped and killed. After that day, she stopped talking. She was moved into her aunt and uncle's house, where she began taking care of their farm, because her uncle was a drinker and couldn't be motivated to get up.
