Name: Rebecca Elyna Sparkston (But she goes by Elyna)

Hair color: brown
Eye color: blue
Birthplace: Savannah, Georgia
Nationality: American
Species: Human
Marital Status: Single
Occupation:Waitress - currently unemployed
Distinguishing Features: none
Known Relatives: Elizabeth Sparkston (mother), John Sparkston-deceased (father), two older brothers
Group Affiliations: member of the Savannah Book Club and a Pink Hatter
Fighting: Poor
Agility: Typical
Strength: Poor
Endurance: Good
Reason: Good
Intuition: Typical
Psyche: Typical
Health:
Resources: Typical
Popularity: Feeble
Known powers and strengths:
none
Talents/Abilities:
Order Memorization [talent]: After years of practice, she can remember up to seven individual orders without having to either write them down or get them wrong.
The Swivel [ability]: Due to her history, she has altered a few moves to perfect something she refers to as “the swivel”. Used when avoiding “touchy-feely” type customers. This maneuver comes with an added bonus of stretching out a stiff back if used in conjunction with the “bump”.
Bump [ability/talent]: Again, something that isn’t new to most women. Elyna uses this little maneuver to close things like a car door, the refrigerator door, the counter door, or to knock over a cart, bump a waitress to get her to spill something on an annoying customer, or to get her through a crowd if the need arises.
Icy-stare [ability/talent]: Able to cool the amorous advances of a drunken customer with a look. A man caught in this gaze knows he’s crossed a line and if he values stomach and doesn’t want to get served the day old java, he’d bite back future attempts. This isn’t a unique strength/power…every woman has it; some are just more developed than others. Elyna has a signature look she likes to call “The Katharine Hepburn”.
Equipment:
A good pair of sneakers, support pantyhose, and LOTS of gum
Weaknesses: Weakness/Fear:
Darkness [Fear]:Due to a time spend in a small locked room Elyna has gained a fear of the dark. She doesn't need much light to chase away the panic, just enough to see shapes.
Reptiles [Fear]: Due to several encounters with Sauron (although she doesn't know him as such, just the scary lizardman) Elyna won't touch any member of the reptile family. She also can't stand the Geico commercials and will snatch the remote from a perfect stranger to turn the channel.
Cats [Fear/Weakness]: Although not as scared of our feline friends as she is of reptiles, Elyna is wary of them. She doesn't trust them, especially if she has food in hand. If able, she'll skirt a cat if met on the street.
History:
All her life, Elyna wanted to be a dancer on Broadway. She started dancing when she was first starting grammar school. As the years progressed, she took more and more classes. In her senior year, she managed to get an elusive audition to Julliard. She managed to qualify for a scholarship from a Savannah ladies’ group the helped pay what her parents couldn’t. However, due to an injury in with the first month of her sophomore year, Elyna has to remove herself from enrollment.
It took her two years to recover; almost a year from the injury and a bit longer emotionally. For her it was as if her life had ended. Thanks to the support of her family, she has returned to New York with a new dream, to work behind the scenes.
For now she works full-time in a dinner. She has worked her way up to one of the lead waitress positions, not that is something spectacular, but it pays better. Four nights out of the week she works at an off-Broadway theatre as an assistant to the set manager. It’s not glamorous, but it is a job and helps pay the rent.
