1710
Her father - James Lennox - was a Scotsman and a patriot. Maybe even more than his parents who, after the lost war between Scotland and England in 1705, decided to bend the knee and pledge their allegiance to England, to keep their title and wealth. He was obsessed with somewhat washing this stain off his honour.
The moment he met the "Bonnie King" himself only strengthened his desire to prove himself to be more worthy of calling himself a Scotsman than his father ever was. During his stay at the french court in summer 1710 he not only became friends with the banished king but also met a love of his life - Louise Richelieu. She was a lady in waiting to the french queen and a member of well respected noble family in France.
1715
A few years later, Louise gave birth to a boy, James, a year later - a girl, Eliza. The family lived mostly in Goodwill in Scotland, the castle that was Lennox's stronghold for generations.
Eliza's childhood was torn between the french court, where she would play hide and seek with the dauphine and his sister in the the gardens, and gloomy coasts in Scotland,where highlanders would teach her how not to get lost in the fog on the heights. She never had one homeland. She was always torn, and couldn't choose which one of those homes was her main one, the real one, and she did not belong fully to neither of them. She would somehow stick out in a way that it's impossible to dismiss - in Scotland she was always seen as too.. french-like, on the french court - a wild, hot-blooded scotts girl.
1730
When she was still a child, the Highlanders decided to revolt, one of many times, and this time it ended the same as any other. It didn't come to an uprising, though. But even rummors about a rebelion were enough for the English to investigate. They decided that an example had to be made out of those who were involved in a plot of regaining the independence. James Lennox and twelve other men, who were considered the (possible) leaders of rebellion, were sentenced to death. Goodwill, maybe due to Eliza's mother being a french subject, close to those in power on the foreign and so powerful court, was intact - and remained a seat of the Lennox family. Shortly after the mother sent her only daughter to France.That was the best way to keep her safe, in case the English became more bloodthirsty and wanted to excel their revenge at the family of John Lennox as well.
Her brother had to stay in Scotland to make sure the English won’t break their promise and won’t take back the Goodwill from them. He’s the only one who shares her need for vengence, and, despite being an english subject, still hopes for the independance of their homeland.
Thanks to the mercy of the royal family - family she already knew since the childhood, the girl found shelter on court, alongside the exiled King that her father fought for.
Currently
Eliza serves her princess and treats her like sister, but it's the scottish " Bonnie King " she looks up to, seeing a father in him, a father who was taken away from her when she was just a child. Though she lives on French court, she dreams of Scotland and the foggy moors, and her veins tremble for vengence and retribution. France offered her life and love, but the demons of the past and the need for recconing is too strong to fight with.
