PERSONALITY
Eli is sort of reserved, but once she warms up to someone she can become talkative and friendly. Most of the time she is agreeable and a good friend, but at times she can become very irritable and easily annoyed. She has the stereotypical Italian temper that can easily become cold and argumentative. She is someones jaded and prefers her own company, but walks to the beat of her own drum at all times. She doesn't takes shit from anyone, and sometimes she talks a little too loud without realizing it.
Eli is a little bit of a narcassist, and has some major trust issues. She is afraid of extreme heights and tight spaces. She doesn't appreciate when people she doesn't know touch her, and can become aggressive if provoked. Sometimes she has moods where she doesn't like to talk or be talked to, and other times she is excellent at engaging a conversation with any type of person. She is a highly intelligent girl, and after med school she plans on majoring in psychiatry. She is also a very talented artist and improvisor, and is very good at problem solving. However, her impulsiveness tends to get her into trouble. Eli has a tendency to lie, and lucky for her she is very good at it. Some of her weaknesses include taking hard criticism, getting along with people she doesn't like, etc. Her habits include smoking marijuanna recreationally, zoning out, and twiddling her thumbs.
