------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES/QUIRKS:
Steele grew up as a competitive tomboy so she tends to play the tough-guy act even when she's hurt physically or is pained emotionally by something. It takes a lot for her to break down and cry. Eliza's independent and determined thinking quick on her feet, which has saved her life and others a few times, and has a streak of typical Corellian cockiness, or in her case more stubborn and thinks her way is best. She's loyal to those who have earned her trust and deadly to those who have burned it. Eliza has a softer, feminine side, but rarely lets that show as she fears it will be used against her in a man's world. She prefers to drink fine whiskey and smoke Sweet Theed cigars when relaxing back with her boots up… Well, that's not all the Corellian Rose desires to do with her boots up or off for that matter, but we won't go there. The Corellisi likes to stay fit; jumps rope for aerobic exercise, and does push-ups and sit-ups before rack time as well as uses a punching bag to work on her fighting skills and take out her frustrations. Better the bag than your face, right? lol, She tends to have a bit of a temper too when provoked… What?! She's full-blooded Corellian, duh; a spitfire for sure.

ABILITIES:

  • Highly proficient marksman & freighter pilot
  • Proficient in hand-to-hand combat (scrappy fighter)
  • Proficient in small-scale demolitions, and basic slicing
  • Fluently speaks Galactic Basic; knows some Huttese, Bocce, Olys Corellisi, Durese, Rodese, and Mando'a; understands Shyriliwook and Binary "Droid Speak"
  • Savvy businesswoman in a smuggler sense
WEAPONS:
ITEMS:
  • Comlink w/optional earbud communicator
  • Datapad
  • Credit Chip Pouch
  • Multi-use tool
  • Weapons cleaning kit
  • Kathol Liberation Ring. (TKO faction award)
ATTIRE:
Eliza wears typical spacer clothes ie long-sleeved tunics, a tank undershirt, a vest, gauntlet gloves, and trousers tucked into heavy-duty leather boots. A swaggy duster known as a Corellian Longcoat is often worn over the top of the outfit.

The petite smuggler, who has done business with the Mando'ade in the past from time to time though rarely anymore, may don gold-colored Mandalorian clan skin armor that is worn over a black armor weave flight suit with a matching helmet, which Eliza hates to wear because it makes her claustrophobic. It has an optional jet pack or critter frame attachment, and weaponized gauntlets too… Fun! Mostly though, the sentimental gift is stored in an heirloom crate kept in her private hold aboard the Dawn.

BIOGRAPHY:
Eliza was born in Tyrena, Corellia, the only child of Remington and Mariel Steele, who were both Corellians. In her early years, Eliza lived on Corellia with her mother while her father, a smuggler by trade, was off-planet conducting his business. When a plague hit the area, Mariel caught it and died leaving Remy, as he liked to be called, the sole parent. The elder Steele had no choice but to take his young daughter with him while he did his smuggling runs, using his trusted LE series repair droid as a nanny at times while he conducted business… or pleasure; though never neglecting her. He was as devoted as any loving father could be in his kind world.

As Eliza grew up on the Corellian Dawn, Remy taught his daughter the trade and gave her the tools she'd need to succeed at it. Soon the young brunette was in business right alongside him. She easily learned how to pilot their ship, fight, and shoot weapons of all kinds as her father had a collection becoming very proficient especially with blasters; favoring a DL-44 Heavy blaster pistol by her side. Eliza also learned how to slice a bit, and use small-scale demolition materials as sometimes they came in handy for a quick getaway. Being a savvy businesswoman came easily as well.

Not all their smuggling jobs were totally legit, but most were by Corellian Standards; some sort of banned food products, high-end tobacco, firearms, and booze. Occasionally spice, but definitely no slave trafficking. Steeles drew the line there.

One day a dirty and underhanded CorSec agent with an ax to grind with her father trumped-up charges on Remy with falsified evidence. The elder Steele was sentenced to five years of hard labor on Kessel and the Corellian Dawn became fully Eliza's ship to own and operate. She runs the Dawn with the help of a loyal and somewhat quirky LE series repair droid named "Leboo" and a young adult Wookiee co-pilot, "Rahl", whose life debt was transferred from her father to Eliza when he went to prison. The younger Steele though sees the walking carpet more like a brother. She considers Rahl family and it seems the sediment is returned.

After the elder Steele got out of prison, the father-daughter duo ended up obtaining a cantina on Ord Mantell called the Afterburner. (Long story short it was won in a high-stakes gambling bet that went Remy's way... Which was a good thing 'cause Lizzy wouldn't have been too happy with the Old Man if she knew he wagered their her ship!) It gave them a solid stream of base income and a place to call home in between smuggling runs with apartments above the bar.


Several years later, Eliza found herself spending more and more time in the Southern Outer Rim, Western Reaches, and the Kathol Sector and beyond where smuggling was more profitable with less hassle than up in the north with raging wars and the rapid changeover of governments. The Corellisi was thinking about selling the cantina on Ord Mantell and switching her home port to Kal'Shebbol full-time, but her gut said not to... Which in hindsight was fortuitous as the Sith relocated to that region. Why is it always the Darksiders who cause her so much grief?!

AWARDS:
2nd-class Corellian Bloodstripes (yellow) - awarded for exemplary service to Corellia in time of national need as a civilian.
