Least favorite music, why? Country - she can't stand all of the twang that's in it (which is why she also prefers electronic that doesn't involve a lot of words, just sounds).

First Memory: Her mother holding her

Children of siblings: -
Other extended family:
Cornell Latimer (uncle on father's side)
Jessamine Wingfield (aunt on mother's side)
Cornell - close/intimate since he acted as a substitute father and mother to Eli while Priscilla was unavailable (Eli bonded easier to him than her mother)
Jessamine - unknown/unfamiliar; never had a chance to meet since Jessamine served in the UNSC Navy and died in the Callisto Incident, nine years before Eli was born
Most at ease when: She's achieved perfection (but since she's always trying to improve, she's never really at rest, unfortunately).
Most ill at ease when: She's failed at something or, quite possibly, everything.
Priorities: Success
Philosophies: If she can't succeed the first time, don't stop trying until success happens.
How they feel about themselves: It's a teetering balance between being vain/overconfident and feeling terrible about her capabilities (and that she'll never truly succeed).
Past failure they would be embarrassed to admit: ... Everything
Why? See her perfection-driven attitude
If granted one wish what would it be, why? Eli would wish that she had a different father or that her current one had never joined the Insurrectionists and ruined his marriage and her childhood. Then, she would be able to go on in life without wanting to prove herself worthy and disprove that she's everything opposite of her scumbag dad.
Optimist or pessimist? Why? Pessimist - She doesn't see what she's achieved as good things, only room for even more improvement.
Introvert or extrovert? Why? Introvert - Eli prefers to keep to herself because she deems herself above the distraction of unnecessary conversation.
Drives and motives: Success, perfection, a need to erase her father from her life by outshining his crimes with her successes
Talents: Good with numbers
Extremely skilled at: She tries to be skilled at everything but shines the brightest in hand-to-hand combat.
Extremely unskilled at: Eli would probably prefer to not suck at anything, but in reality, she's terrible at interpreting and conveying emotions. Also, communicating with others.
Good characteristics: Loyal, cautious, ambitious
Character flaws: Obsessed with perfection and success
Mannerisms/Peculiarities: She bites the inside of her mouth and cheek a lot when she's frustrated or worried.
Biggest regret: Eli hasn't figured this one out yet.
Minor regrets: Every little mistake she's ever made over the year, no matter what situation
Biggest accomplishment: Probably being good enough to have been accepted into CAMS (four years ago)
Minor accomplishments: Getting good marks in her training sessions and whatnot
Darkest secret: Has a mix of conscientious, bedeviled, and bureaucratic (see other subtypes) of Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
Does anyone know? Eli doesn't even know herself (of course, she believes that her orderliness and drive for perfection is absolutely normal). Others around her may have doubts that she's mental, but there's no way to know for sure because she's never been taken into psychiatrists or psychologists.
One word they would use to describe themselves: "Imperfect."
One paragraph of how they would describe themselves: She doesn't speak much, but it'd follow the same outline as above.
What do they consider their best physical characteristic and why: Her arms and legs are her best asset because they can get things done. Honestly.
The worst one? Why? No comment.
Are they realistic assessments? Probably not
If not, why not? Eli has a very negative and self-deprecating mindset. Also very unrealistic and odd.
How they think others perceive them: She couldn't care less.
What four things would they most like to change about themselves: Her past. That's it.
Why? She hates it, period. She hates her cowardly scumbag of a father. She hates how he abandoned her and her mom (even if he had turned into the enemy by that point). She hates everything.
If they were changed would they be the same person, why/why not: Nope, she would be less bitter, probably a lot more friendly.
Would changing of number 1 make them more happy? Seemingly so.
Why/why not: Eli might dream that having her past changed might make her happier, but in reality, what she's gone through makes her who she is today. And who she is today is a strong young woman, and changing that wouldn't help her at all.
How do they relate to others: She doesn't.
How are they perceived by strangers: Cold and distant/standoffish
Friends: Same as above. Possibly smiles every ten weeks.
Wife/husband/lover: Eli doesn't get romantically involved.
Immediate: Succeed
Long term: See above.
How do they plan to accomplish them: Try, try, and try again.
How will others be effected by this: Her ridiculously absurd, hard-to-achieve goals make her into a sort-of jackass; she gets very snappy in conversations because of her constant bottled-up frustration at herself and her supposed failures/inability to be perfect.
How do they react in a crisis: Logically and strategically - her first move is to map out the options in her head then pick the best one.
How do they face problems: See above.
Kind of problems they usually run into: Usually, she just deals with jumping over the hurdles of life and getting frustrated with herself when she trips (a.k.a. not being able to do her best).
How they react to new problems: She might hesitate a little bit but not necessarily panic; she'll still be able to work out a solution.
How they react to change: Eli becomes a nervous wreck around change. She might be able to hold in her discomfort at first and limit it to fidgeting and organizing things in her environment, but after awhile, if things don't go back to the way they were before, she curls up in a corner and worries/hyperventilates herself to death.
Favorite clothing, why: Eli doesn't have preferred clothes since every cadet wears the same thing and civilian dress isn't allowed.
Least favorite, why: See above.
Jewelry: -
Other accessories: -
Drives: Perhaps a Warthog on occasion? I imagine she's a good driver (but terrible when it comes to having to tumble down hills to escape from enemies since she'd rather not risk her life or anyone else's).
Where do they live: CAMS
Where do they want to live: She likes her dorm at CAMS just fine.
Spending habits, why: She doesn't.
What do they do too much of, why: Clean, organize, be generally obsessed with perfection and success because that's just the way she is
Most prized possession, why: Eli doesn't care too much for materialism, but her personal datapad is probably her most guarded.
People they secretly admire, why: The Commander, probably, because she is a figure of authority and Eli has a skewed view of how perfect and flawless authority figures are (or just most adults that she hasn't gotten to know yet).
Person they are most influenced by, why: Her parents for the obvious reasons - her mom is why she enjoys being in military training so much and her father is why she will enjoy stomping a bunch of Innies into the ground.
Most important person in their life, why: - (none right now - everyone is pretty much distant from her)
How do they spend a week: Doing the usual training and classes, etc.
