Personality: A wild child, but an intelligent one, Elaine has sweet talked, charmed, and otherwise manipulated her way through life, either through coy wit or intelligent analysis.

Perhaps above all she is adaptable, perfectly calm and at home either in a party at a luxurious manor or digging through a decrepit tomb miles from any sign of civilization.

Background
Biography: The only daughter of a very wealthy and mildly eccentric English aristocrat, Elaine was fortunate enough that her father passed on his love of history to her without any concern for her gender. She accompanied her father on several trips as he financed intrepid archaeologists to uncover lost ruins across the world. When she was older, her father had no qualms with financing her education and soon enough she was organizing her own trips with her father’s money, and eventually charming the support of new benefactors.
Work History: Somewhere between a celebrity, an oddity, and an embarrassment to the European archaeological community, Elaine has been on numerous excavations throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia, often at the side of a foppish businessman with too much money and a desire for adventure. While many of her older colleagues scoff and accuse her of conning wealthy men out of their fortunes with her feminine wiles, Elaise has returned from these ventures with several impressive artifacts, though she often leaves those artifacts and the finer details of research, interpretation, and scholarly writings to a few trusted colleagues while she plans her next expedition. However, she does always manage to find time for the parties of high society, after all, a new financier is always needed for the next excavation.
Skills: Well versed in European history, conducting and leading archaeological digs, basic firearm use after a dreadful incident in Cairo, flattery and charm, physically fit but not excessively so
