Appearance
Elizabeta cuts a notable figure that lingers in the memory well after she has gone. Although she is considered Barovian, her family comes from Teufeldorf which was a part of Gundarak before the great conjunction, and the Gundarakite influence in her family is notable. She is tall for a woman, being taller than most men especially in Barovia, and long, slightly-wavy, near-black hair common in Gundarakites but less so than in Barovia. She has clear blue eyes and olive skin and most people would describe her as highly beautiful. A lifetime of active training and a heroic lifestyle only add a perfect physique to this, strong and athletic, though not bulky.
Most of the time, Elizabeta is observed wearing her iconic mithral armour, which is patterned in iconography resembling the Mists, along with the holy symbol of Ezra. The armour is tougher than steel but lighter, making it less bulky than conventional plate armour, and its custom and exquisite design makes her look as impressive as it does formidable. The silvery armour is worn over black chain, leather and padding. Usually carried on her back and removed only where there is need, she has a large kite shield also made of mithral, with alabaster coating and stones in iconography of the church of Ezra. When placed on her back, the large shield almost appears to be a metallic cloak.
Most of the time, Elizabeta leaves her hair loose and wavy, styling it only when necessary for an event, and even then it is most likely to be some tidier and more elegant form of long and loose. Raised and living for years in Mordent, however, she does tend to usually wear some lipstick and other light make-up. Whilst this may seem unusual to Barovian standards, it would be considered extremely modest compared to the typical heavy cosmetic use common for females in Mordent and Demenlieu and other domains of similar renaissance culture level.
When not in her armour, Elizabeta is typically seen wearing religious robes - a long off-white habit with coif and silvery-accented head veil, a silvery symbol of the Mordent sect of the Cult of Ezra on her chest. Her hair is typically completely hidden under the veil and coif. Whilst it is possible for her to wear the loose habit over her mithral armour, doing so would be obvious and normally only done if she is performing some form of guard or military duty for the church but wants to appear less militaristic. Most of the time, she is usually unarmoured whilst wearing her robes.
On the rare occasion there is a need to wear something more elegant, Elizabeta has a dress that was made for her by Dominique after the latter friend discovered with horror that Elizabeta had no such clothing. Considering the frequency that Dominique drags her and Audrey to social events, the dress is likely to get considerable usage. The dress was designed with a pattern and colouration to represent mists, as a nod to her faith. Ironically, Elizabeta's powerful figure is more notable whilst wearing this dress than when she is armoured, as her muscular form is more exposed to the sight than under layers of armour.
She is virtually never seen without her most prized possession, the "Blade of Ezra" - a mithral longsword that has been enchanted with divine magic and is capable of affecting incorporeal beings. Whilst the blade is new and made of mithral, the pommel and hand guard are from the original sword used by the Mistwarden Marcus, who died to save her life. This way she can carry his memory and legacy with her whenever she slays evil and protects the innocent.
Background
Elizabeta had an uninspiring and traditional life, until fate came for her. Born in Teufeldorf the daughter of a simple farmer, she led a simple but content life. Unfortunately, her family was targeted by the vampiress Lyssa von Zarovich for a dark ritual that would break a curse her uncle Strahd von Zarovich had placed on her, and give her incredible power - enough to be able to defeat her uncle and take over Barovia. Whilst Elizabeta would never learn the truth if her family was randomly picked, or perhaps because there was something special about them - perhaps as her family was originally from Gundarak before it was absorbed into Barovia as part of the Grand Conjunction, and this may have had some mystical quality on their blood. Regardless, she and her family were taken by vampire cultists for the ritual. Her family were slaughtered before her, their blood used as ingredients for the ritual or to wet the hunger of the vampires. She was tied to a sacrificial altar as lamb to the slaughter. Her fate seemed sealed.
And then HE appeared - an old cleric in the armour of a Mistwarden of Ezra. He came glowing with holy light, and the vampires all retreated in fear and pain from his divine power. Elizabeta wondered if an angel or celestial being had come for her. The cleric passed Elizabeta to a young woman in a scarlet riding coat, and with sword and faith held the line, preventing pursuit from the vampires, until the woman carried Elizabeta to her horse, and they rode to safety. From a safe distance, Elizabeta and the scarlet-robed lady watched with horror as the cleric's power was spent and the vampires overpowered him. Knowing that becoming one of them was a fate worse than death for him, the scarlet-robed lady used her musket to end his life, denying the vampires their revenge. Elizabeta didn't learn the name of the man who gave his life for her until some time after his death - Marcus, was his name. And his sacrifice and the vision of his saving her shrouded by divine light touched her very soul and changed her fate.
For awhile, she remained at the cleric's temple-turned-orphanage in Leiksburg but, seeing Elizabeta growing strong in the faith of Ezra, an ally of Marcus arranged for her to be taken to Mordent, where she would be raised and educated as one of Ezra's clergy. The difference between Barovia and Mordent was a shock to Elizabeta, who adapted quite poorly and rarely left the temples and holy places, but did well in her studies. The desire to protect others and fight evil was too strong for her to become an Anchorite, and so she became a Mistwarden - a knight of Ezra - like Marcus before her, dedicating her life to Ezra's praise.
Then one day whilst on a hunt against an evil entity, she fell into a trap and would have died, but not for the ghostly appearance of Marcus, returning in death to save her once again. Marcus led her into the mists, and they exited the mists in Barovia, near the Leiksburg orphanage. In confusion, Elizabeta observed and saw herself leave the orphanage with the woman who would train her in the faith, and realised she was in her own past. Her faith unshaken, Elizabeta decided that Ezra, through Marcus, must have brought her to this time and place for a reason. With her faith strong, she headed towards Leiksburg, and her destiny...

- Mistwarden Armour: A suit of non-magical but exceptional quality mithral full-plate armour with ornate engravings and iconography representing Mists and the church of Ezra.
- Shield of Ezra: A non-magical but exceptional quality mithral heavy kite shield with ornate alabaster stones and engravings, and iconography representing Mists and the church of Ezra.
- Heavy Crossbow: A masterwork heavy crossbow common in chivalric realms and still of limited use in renaissance realms. A backup weapon for when Elizabeta needs to hit a target out of melee range.
Magic Items
- Amulet of Channeling: This amulet is inscribed with the symbol of the church of Ezra and empowers the Channel Energy ability of any Clerics or Paladins of Ezra that wear it.
- Anchorite Wayfinder: This elegant compass is engraved at the bottom with a symbol of Ezra and serves as a status symbol as well as a tool by Anchorites and other favoured members of Ezra's faithful. It serves as a fully-functional nonmagical compass and can be made to shine light at will, to light up the night. It has an indentation that can be used to hold an ioun stone, although it is presently empty.

- Cleric's vestments: The classic white-and-silver robes of Ezra's clergy. Whilst Elizabeta is not a cleric, she is ordained as one of the faithful and can carry out sermons and priestly duties. She usually wears these robes when at services or not anticipating trouble. They can be worn over her armour if required, though they will be unable to conceal the armour underneath.
- Studded Leather Barding: Elizabeta's warhorse, Bamfa, wears studded leather barding for protection.
