Elias Gerard-St. Clair

Eli

Estelle's younger brother, strategist

Sixteen (he's two years younger then Estelle)

Male

Slightly paler than his sister's brown-sugar shade

5'7"

Skinny and wiry, with lanky limbs and slouchy shoulders

Huge horn-rimmed glasses that he constantly has to push up, a chip in one of his front teeth; eventually, a wheelchair.

Black

Heavy, wide curls that fall over his ears

None, unless you count his sideburns

Dark hazel, bordering on a light brown

Half Villien, half Newportian (think half French, half African-American)

About 135 pounds

To help/support his sister, mainly. Because of this, he stands behind her in her quest to regain their birthright.

Skittish and easily intimidated. His mother and sister kept him stuck behind tables so much that he's overwhelmed by stressful situations. He tends to surrender to quickly for fear of getting hurt in a fight.

Highly against the Villien government for the same reasons as his sister.

Brilliant strategist, not only in war plans. He can dance his way through any complicated system and turn it in on itself. Amazing mediator--when people are arguing, he can generally get them to reach a compromise.

The best pianist any of the Whitewaters have ever heard. He has perfect pitch, and when he's bored, he'll sit at his pianoforte and improvise the most soulful pieces.

Skittish and rather awkward, but sweet. He's an incredible listener, but not so much a talker. He loves music more than life itself. Gentle, seemingly too gentle to be a member of a resistance group.

Laces his fingers when he's nervous, pushes up his glasses when he's nervous, twitches/tenses/rolls his shoulders when he's nervous (he's nervous a lot). Slouches when he's relaxed. Stammers when he talks too fast.

His pianoforte

Since he believes the Myllirian gods to be more fact than religion, Eli is one of the first atheists.

He tends to avoid politics, but is generally liberal on issues

Prince of the Lakeshore, Whitewater strategist

Dove grey

Sweet bread

He couldn't fight even if he wanted to. His strategies are generally his weapon.

Chinchillas

March 19

Elias was raised a prince until the scandal with Seraphine Des-Marais. Michelle, his mother, took him and his sister away to a middle-class life. His sister firmly believed that his father was innocent, and she convinced him so. When she started the Whitewater, he joined her against his mother's wishes. It was his strategy that ultimately won his sister the throne, but the final battle was not coordinated by him: Elias was abducted by Seraphine Des-Marais two days before the battle for the throne. In his escape attempt, he sustained severe injuries to his legs and ended up in a wheelchair for six months.

Extensively tutored at the palace until he was nine, then homeschooled until he was fourteen

Moderately powerful sun magician, but he rarely uses his magic. It's not neglected like his sister's, but it's not powerful either.
