Full Name: Eliza Cade Armstrong Nicknames: Liza, Liz, El. She's not picky nor cares much Occupation: Cashier at the food market Living situation: Commune Status-Resident Eliza Armstrong was born in Huntsville and has grown up in the town since birth. Her parents were two very anxious first time parents who had never planned on kids and yet ended up with kids. Her parents, however, were a bit naive and tended to fumble when it came to parenting. She was taken care of to the best of their ability but it still meant some things weren't done tradionally.

A lot of Eliza's learning came from the neighborhood grandma's who contributed to her giving nature and her need to help others. They taught her spelling and letters. They taught her compassion and love. All things her patents could do but not in full with them still day dreaming of forming that rock band of theirs.

She moved through school simply enough. She was social and made friends. She was active in basketball to start but then turned to wanting to learn to shoot guns and be outdoors. She got great grades when she was there but with a rocky situation in town school wasn't always her focus. When she was old enough she moved herself into the commune to start to make her own life. She fully believes in the commune and for what it stands for. Those people were her second family and that girl will be there for them if they need it.

Eliza loves to go out hunting for supplies and venturing into the woods. She's fearless in that regard and loves a good thrill seeking adventure. She also goes out of her way to help others. Meaning sometimes if people were low on ration cards she spares hers and go without a meal or two. She says it's fine. She can be found engaging with the kiddos showing them new games or helping with studies. At work she's a hard worker willing to put in her share and more.

During the earthquake situation, however, Eliza did lose her parents. The two fumbling fools managed to get themselves killed and swallowed up when the ground split. She didn't witness it but some towns folk told her about it and she wasn't sure how to feel. She loves her parents but that maternal connection was never really established. They were more like good friends trying to raise a kid. She only took a few days before going back to work and back to her usual upbeat nature.

The girl loves her trinkets too. Old music boxes, things that get brought in like old cassette players and cd players and things of another time. She collects them even if they aren't of any use and sometimes she's good for tearing things apart to rebuild them and see if they can function in a new way.

Some of Eliza's favorite things are thunderstorms, shooting her gun/hunting, reading, painting if she can find any paint to do so but she isn't opposed to using some dirt and calling it a painting, volunteering, teaching, and collecting items. While she has a lot of great qualities about her there are the lesser of course.
