Full Name: Eloise Renata Temple.
Nick Names: El & Temps.
DOB / POB: September 10th 1997, Wednesday- 4:31 a.m. / Albuquerque, New Mexico
Birthchart
Age: 18
Orientation: Presumed straight
Grade: Junior- was held back her Freshman year at previous school
Occupation: Student / PI for hire
Clothing Style: Clean cut, almost business casual. Slacks of neutral color along with a suitable blouse, nothing too extreme or eye-catching. She has been mistaken for a teacher from behind on more than one occasion...which bothers her to no end. El also has a VI PI slouch hat which her father gave to her. This is her most prized possession, therefore she never brings it to school and uses it on special jobs that require much secrecy.
Likes:
snooping,
organization,
gut feelings,
inside jokes,
closing a successful case,
& a long day's work
Dislikes:
tardiness,
class clowns*,
dead end cases,
purposeless info,
cafeteria mush,
slobs & liars.
(*especially funny ones)
Personality:
There is just no getting around Eloise Temple. She her eyes all about town, observing everything, including that which goes unnoticed. El is extremely analytical with her daily processes while concise and serious in her mannerisms. Therefore it is not often that she shows her emotions, seemingly seeing through the every day situations/interactions with a hardened eye and tough demeanor. She picks up many of her Father's stoic personality traits in many ways, even some of his tics- which are easy to spot. Her straight-fowardness and sound rationale are traits that are impossible to ignore. Those who know her are accustomed to this, while those who first meet her may question: is this chick for real?
History:
Born a healthy 6lbs, 8 ounces on an early New Mexico morning- Eloise arrived as the second out of three children. She grew up to become the epitome of a “Daddy's girl”, looking up to her father and shadowing him just about everywhere. There were times where he wasn't home, out scavenging for truth. As a four year old completely devoted to her Father, it was perplexing. But her Mom always reassured her that he was doing very important things for other people. That he helped the people who simply had no where else to turn to.
By the time she was six, she finally understood what it was he did for a living. It was soon after this that she made it her mission to follow in his footsteps- to become another Detective Temple that carried out her great-grandfather's ideals. This was to her Father's dismay, not planning her interest on top of his own namesake's affinity for sports. He warmed up to the idea, though, after a couple of years- teaching her the fundamentals as often as he could during the critical period before adolescence.
Once Eloise began grade school, she would see less and less of him. With her new baby sister and his influx of work put a hold on his lessons. At 14, he sat her down one afternoon, assuring her that if she stayed focused on all of his advice- she would certainly make a fine private eye. That year, on her birthday she received her humble slouch hat from him. Fifteen years old, on the road to becoming a hardened PI. Middle school was full of disciplinary problems. Being caught wandering off, cutting out of class, found outside with a journal full of "personal observations"...
Since then, she has carried out the life in her Father's footsteps- gradually, of course. “The minimal, in time, often lead up and on to something bigger.” he would say when she got discouraged, especially after the move to another city for Freshman year. Ninth grade proved to be an incredibly awkward time, having to mix with her peers who - strangely enough, had their heads in their phones half the time. It was another learning experience, which dramatically increased her skill and approach to social interaction. The loss of focus on school work held her back from progressing to Sophomore year, but you could say she used this to her advantage.
When an important case called for yet another move, El was ready. Though Metric was hesitant with accepting her as a student at first, the meeting her father had with the enrollment staff and administration did wonders. Though she was still placed a grade behind, she decided to use her accelerated age to her advantage - figuring with little doubt that it would aid in her peers taking her seriously, which would then attract an influx of cases for her to crack.
