-If not for her mottled and discolored skin, she might be considered pretty. She had hoped the inflammation would be subdued in unlife, but alas it was not to be completely so. On the positive note however, the inflammation does help her skin appear more 'alive' than other Vampires with a near vibrant color and 'warmth'.\+If not for her mottled and discolored skin, she might be considered pretty.

-Elysse is generally a quiet observant listener who waits to give her input/opinion after careful consideration. She enjoys helping others overcome their shortcomings and to help them unload their emotional garbage. She rarely forgets anything and is not beyond using information to better her situation or someone else's, if pushed into a corner or if bored to tears by someone's incessant ramblings.\+Elysse is generally a quiet observant listener who waits to give her input/opinion after careful consideration.

 The storm was huge and the surge and rainfall were catastrophic. New Orleans had weathered scores of storms before but this one overwhelmed the poorly maintained levies and pump system. The call for evacuation came too late. When her mother and younger sisters drowned, Elysse was away with her Bigmama on the higher ground of the French Quarter. For days people and animals were found hanging in trees or deposited on the ground as the water receded. FEMA found her family in the attic of their home, trapped there with no escape from the rising flood.  The storm was huge and the surge and rainfall were catastrophic.

-Elysse was devastated and had lost everyone but her Bigmama, the old Mambo. And like so many others, they moved away. The memories were just too painful. They moved in with her father's brother Leroy DuBois in Jacksonville, Florida. Elysse continued to do well in school to honor her mother's wishes. But she was now driven to make a difference. She felt compelled to help others cope with the horrors that life could visit on them. Elysse doubled down on psychology. She was going to be a Doctor, a 'Shrink' as Bigmama put it. And Elysse spent time with the elder Mambo as the old lady aged into senility. Bigmama actually lived to see her get into Med School. She was so proud of her 'tifi' or 'petite fille'. Smiling Elysse remembered the elder lady had always called her that, since despite closing in on 30, Elysse still looked to be in her late teens. The old Mambo passed that year before her ‘tifi’ could finish Med School. After placing her grandmother's urn next to her mother's and sister's back in New Orleans, she returned to finish her education - never once losing sight of her goal to become a 'shrink'. +Elysse was devastated and had lost everyone but her Bigmama, the old Mambo.

During this period, she met Michael Blackburn. She found him intriguing and mysterious and saw him whenever her work load would allow. Despite herself, the more time she spent with him the more drawn she was to him. He kept hinting that there was more to be learned than she could possibly imagine and that she might be able to truly help her patients. She sensed this would be life changing but had no idea it would be life-ending…

 +Elysse appears much younger than her human age, late teens or early twenties at the oldest. She is also afflicted with Lupus and Vitiligo, or she was when she was alive. These together give her dead complexion a 'radiant' almost alive glow.
