Big hand, little hand, no hand, slow hand
Sitting in my hand is the sand of a shattered hour glass
And I throw these grains of sand into the wind and laugh - ha ha!

APPEARANCE.[/size][/color]
Eliya doesn't seem to stand out from any other average girl - probably due to her attempts to blend in (against her wishes) and the fact she refuses to do anything unnatural to her body that'd make herself stand out. She's a scrawny thing, standing at around five foot six and weighing in at only around one-hundred and twenty pounds. Eliya shares her older brothers' coloring: creamy tan skin, dark hair and eyes.
Being in a foreign country and speaking a language she barely knows, she usually wears a look of general confusion or panic. Despite this, she's a very happy girl - depicted often by her smile that she flashes even in the most uncomfortable and awkward situations (usually just for the sake of being poilte.) Her body is completely free of piercings and tattoos, preferring a natural look versus sticking random sharp things into her skin.
Her interest in hair care and make up shows only slightly through her appearance. While she enjoys giving people makeovers, she dresses surprisingly simple and only makes use of naturally colored make-up and keeps her hair free from chemical dyes of any kind. This is because she is fully aware of its harmful effects on the body, but doesn't allow that to hinder her while working on a customer.
When it comes to clothing, Eli keeps it casual. She'll keep herself well-kept and clean but other than that she doesn't seem to have much of an eccentric wardrobe. She seems to prefer staying comfortable rather than coming off as someone begging for attention (even though that's the case sometimes.) Her most extraordinary trait about her is her hairstyle, which is perfectly kept (in her mind) with sharp layers and cut into an a-line (shorter in the back, longer in the front.) Eli wears this style with pride and uses it as her own personal advertisement for her work.
PERSONALITY.[/size][/color]
Eliya might as well be the poster child for seventeen year-old girls - she's flighty, sassy, and hopelessly obsessed with her cellphone. She also has that stereotypical disrespect for authority (ESPECIALLY towards her new older brothers) but that doesn't mean she doesn't love people all the same. Despite how much she complains about how corrupt the world is, it's mostly just parrot-talk. Instead of politics, Eli is more interested in the juicy 411 on everyone she knows. She will do her best to sound like she's a well-educated foreign exchange student but fails a lot of the time - making her appear to be quite a ditz. Eli is by no means stupid, however, just misinformed.
Going beyond that, the first thing one would usually notice about Eliya is how HAPPY she is. She's one of those loud, obnoxious people who are always sickeningly optimistic. There is a playful innocence about her
Not everything is all happy and cute when it comes to Eli, however, and she has her share of flaws. The girl can behave like a spoiled child and it shows through her behavior. If she doesn't get what she wants or sees something that displeases her she will usually throw some kind of fit or impulsively try to remedy it without putting any thought into the consequences. Eliya's very much a crybaby and will react very childishly during bad situations. She is also a bit insensitive of other people's feelings and has a bit of a superficial attitude about her. Because of her knowledge and affinity for ‘beautifying’, she usually takes it upon herself to give 'constructive criticism' to those who appear in a way that she isn't particularly fond of.
It's not that she's purposely mean or anything. Eli's just a bit unaware of other’s feelings about their self-image and wants them to look their best! Even when she 'insults' you she is sure to do it in her usual friendly way. She's by no mean malicious or cruel to people... in fact she is a fiercely loyal person.
Eli tends to ignore side-taking due to her inability to differentiate 'bad crowds' and 'good crowds'. As long as you are a friend to her, she'll be on your side [so she's probably not the most ideal 'bad guy']. She will usually play off as the 'oblivious innocent foreigner' so she doesn't get caught in the middle of things. She a horrible judge of character and really can't tell a good apple from a bad one, and because of that she tends to get herself in a bit more trouble than she'd like. Another thing that gets her in tight spots is her affinity for alcohol and latent alcoholism - good thing she's a happy drunk.
One of her favorite talents is her ability to 'turn off' her accent - or rather - switch to an American accent easily. Though she has had no use for the ability of teaching herself to sound American yet, she still practices just in case.
HISTORY.[/size][/color]
hometown; sydney, australia.
family members;
Maynard Winters [Father/Deceased]
Riv Winters [Mother/Estranged]
David Porter [Half-Brother]
Latch Winters [Brother]
It all started with a big mistake and a phonecall.
The mistake took place seventeen years ago when Riv Winters cheated on her husband Maynard after the two were already caring for three children. After a prompt divorce and a failed attempt at gaining custody of all three children, Mayard only managed to bring their youngest child back home with him to Australia - a girl. There he raised her without revealing that she had two brothers in the care of her absent mother. Eliya grew into a healthy child despite having to do so without a maternal figure in her life, but she couldn't complain much. Maynard spoiled her to death as if to make up not being there for Latch and David. Eli could always see a distant sadness in her father's eyes, but never cared to ask about it. She always figured that and the loud conversations held over the phone would be kept a secret - and never thought to ask about them despite her budding curiosity.
Thus, Eliya grew into a somewhat spoiled - but good-hearted young girl. She did her best in school (which was nothing miraculous, just a C-B average.) Her entire life she had aspired at one time or another to make things beautiful, especially hair. Something about hair had always piqued her interest and the idea of becoming a make-up artist. She didn't make very many friends with her overly critical views on other's lack of pretty make-up or haircuts. Still, she was contented and was given anything that she needed.
Then there was the phonecall.
Maynard had suffered from a fatal asthma attack, something that Eliya would have never thought would have gotten bad enough to kill him. His breathing just...stopped one day after he had pushed himself too hard. Needless to say, the news was devastating. Eli lost all she had so suddenly and was sent to live in an orphanage at fifteen as they tried to track down suitable guardians for her. Because Maynard hadn't any close relatives listed is records, Eli had to spend a lot of time by herself and deal with her father's sudden death.
Two years later Eli discovered she, in fact, had another side of family she had never even been told about. The Australian orphanage (not being a fan of spending money on children that could be perfectly taken care of by family) sent Eli to Japan to live with her two elder brothers - due to Riv being seen as an 'unfit' mother to raise her back when the divorce was still going through.
