Eloise

Eloise lives alone in her snowswept cottage, far away from the nearest town. While most couldn't fathom living so far from civilization in an eternal winter, the cold seems to fuel Eloise. Some say she preys upon those foolish enough to get lost in the neverending snowfall; others insist that she is a guardian spirit, taking on human form. In reality, she is a hermit who would rather be left alone to her studies.

Despite her desire to live a solitary life, Eloise will not refuse help to lost and weary travelers; more than once, she has brought back frostbitten travelers from the edge of death. Those who have met her often find her relative silence to be unnerving. However, those who are able to offer her news and trinkets from the outer world find that she has a keen interest in the world outside her own.
