Full Name: Eloisa Corrine Temple.
Nick Names: El & Temps.
DOB / POB: September 10th 1996, Saturday- 4:31 a.m. / Albuquerque, New Mexico
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Orientation: Presumed straight
Grade: Sophomore- was held back her freshman year
Occupation: Student, PI for hire
Distinguishing Marks / features: None to speak of.
Clothing Style: Clean cut, almost business casual. Slacks of neutral color along with a suitable blouse/cardigan, nothing too extreme or eye-catching. She has been mistaken for a teacher from behind on more than one occasion...which she attempts to use to her benefit, if she can help it. 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, a good mystery, gut feelings, inside jokes, the feeling of accomplishment, & a long day's work
Dislikes: tardiness, higher authorities, class clowns*, dead ends, purposeless gossip, cafeteria food, slobs, & liars *especially the funny ones
Personality:
There is just no getting around Eloisa Temple. She has her eyes all about town, observing that which goes unnoticed. El is extremely analytical with her daily processes while concise and serious in her mannerisms. So it is not often that she shows her emotions, seemingly seeing through the every day situations/interactions. She picks up many of her Father's stoic personality traits in many ways, even some of his tics- which are fairly easy to spot.
Her straight-forwardness and sound rationale are traits that are impossible to ignore. Those who know her are attuned 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- Eloisa 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 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 go.
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 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 Eloisa began grade school, she would see less and less of him. Between the birth of her new baby sister and his influx of work- circumstance put a lengthy hold on his lessons. El remained resourceful, taking up an interest in mystery novels and pulp magazines. No matter how fantastical the plots became, they all felt so possible...attainable. At 14, her Father sat her down one afternoon, assuring her that if she stayed focused on all of his prior advice- she would certainly make a fine private eye. Low and behold, that year on her birthday she received her humble slouch hat from him. Fifteen years old, and on the road to becoming a hardened Private Investigator.
Middle school was full of disciplinary problems. She would constantly be caught wandering off, cutting out of class, or would be found outside in the same spot over and over, with a journal full of personal observations. It took several parent-adviser meetings, and sessions with her counselor to come to a conclusion on how to refrain from these tendencies during school hours. They created a sign in/out sheet for her, which worked all through seventh and eighth grade.
Since then, she has carried out the life in her Father's footsteps- gradually, of course. "The minimal things, in time, often lead up and on to something bigger." he would say when she got discouraged, especially after the move to Metric (with considerable donation) for Freshman year. Ninth grade proved to be an incredibly awkward time, having to mix with peers who had their heads in their phones half the time. It was another learning experience, which dramatically increased her skill and approach to social interaction- while also increasing her tendency to wander. The loss of focus on school work held her back from progressing to Sophomore year, but you could say she used this extra Freshman year to her advantage. After all, the more peers she helped led to a greater probability of being taken seriously and in turn getting more case offers to burrow in to. Not to mention that her first year sparked a new-found affinity for manual photography - which is continuously utilized in her snooping.
Astrological Birth Data:
Rising Sign is in 19 Degrees Leo
You love to be the center of attention and you want to appear strong, confident and dominant. You are very proud of yourself, sometimes quite vain even. When all around you are bedraggled and falling apart, you look like a million bucks! Very dignified and honorable, you enjoy the power and privilege, but not the responsibilities, that come with leadership. You are very idealistic but can also be quite stubborn. Others impress you only if they have integrity (but wealth, power and influence can also turn your head). You prefer rich, elegant surroundings and possessions, and will try to acquire them as your budget allows. Physically, you are very impressive -- at your best you have a regal, charismatic demeanor and bearing. Try not to be such a showoff!
Sun is in 17 Degrees Virgo.
Extremely careful and cautious by nature, you value neatness and order above all else. You rigorously practice very high standards of living and conduct and you demand the same of everyone with whom you come into contact. At times, you are so supercritical that you are merely nit-picky. You are very good at practical skills and quite handy with tools of all kinds. You are also greatly concerned with hygiene, cleanliness and personal health problems. Very likely your health is much better than you think it is -- don't worry so much! Extremely methodical and analytical, you are a perfectionist -- this makes you the perfect person to carry out highly detailed, precise operations. But, at times, you pay so much attention to details that you lose sight of the larger issues.
Moon is in 20 Degrees Leo.
You always want to be proud of yourself and will never do anything that will make yourself look bad. You need the respect and admiration of others and enjoy attracting attention to yourself. Everything you do tends to be self-emphasized and self-exaggerated. Very stubborn, willful and independent yourself, be sure to allow others who are close to you the similar right to "be themselves." Your need for love, affection and reassurance, and your tendency toward vanity, allow you to have your head easily turned by flattery. The more insecure you are, the more you tend to be a showoff. You love games and sports as a matter of fact, you would usually rather play than work. Be careful of a tendency to be snobbish and uppity -- it does not become you.
Mercury is in 01 Degrees Libra.
You are known for not jumping to conclusions about things. You tend to weigh all possible choices very carefully before making a decision. When in the slightest amount of doubt, you will compromise rather than ruffle any feathers. You are a true raconteur of culture and taste -- your ideas and opinions are neat, elegant and refined. A born diplomat, you dislike discord so much that you will go out of your way to make others feel comfortable and at ease. You speak softly and pleasantly.
Venus is in 03 Degrees Leo.
You have a striking, regal appearance and demeanor that attracts others to you. Your friendship is highly sought and you tend to take friendships quite seriously -- you remain loyal and true to those to whom you are attached. For you, love is mixed with pride and respect. Relationships are over when you lose respect for your partner. Be careful of a tendency to relate only to those who make you look good -- the powerful, important and influential. This can lead to arrogance and selfishness, and neither of these qualities becomes you.
Mars is in 00 Degrees Leo.
You are a very proud person. Strong, bold, courageous and self-possessed, you love to be the one to initiate significant actions. When people expect a lot of you, you respond positively and will work hard in order to maintain their respect. But when your dignity or pride is threatened, you tend to become sarcastic, arrogant and domineering. Try not to take any challenge or resistance that you meet as a personal affront. You are very stubborn about your right to live your life according to your own principles.
Jupiter is in 07 Degrees Capricorn.
You tend to feel that the only results that are worthwhile are the results that are concrete and demonstrable. You distrust abstract solutions and appreciate measurable achievements. An excellent organizer and planner, you are optimistic as well as practical and realistic about what can and what cannot happen. Very responsible, you consider it a personal weakness to be wrong about anything. This makes you appropriately cautious. You are very efficient but you tend to be cool and detached.
Saturn is in 05 Degrees Aries.
You are aloof, independent and standoffish. This is mainly due to your fear that others might inhibit or restrict you and, quite frankly, you feel that you can govern your life by your own standards. Be careful not to associate with those who are overly critical of you or you will withdraw so deeply into your shell that you will become very lonely. You have the ability to stand on your own two feet and to make up your own mind -- albeit very carefully and cautiously. But you are known for your circumspection and therefore are respected and admired.
Uranus is in 00 Degrees Aquarius.
You, and most of your peer group as well, are reformers at heart. You want to make positive changes that will benefit society as a whole. You are willing to devote your time and energy to see that they come about, especially if the proper group support and combined purpose of will can be found. Be careful that your devotion to group goals does not produce too much friction or neglect in your own interpersonal one-on-one relationships.
Neptune is in 25 Degrees Capricorn.
You, and your entire generation, will idealize work, practicality and the ability to attain reasonable goals. But, because you will also stress the need to be selfless and giving, you may find it difficult to attain your goals unless you have lowered your expectations on all fronts.
Pluto is in 00 Degrees Sagittarius.
For your entire generation, society's cherished beliefs and totems will be radically changed. Many traditional concepts will be totally altered, if not completely destroyed. The rights of individuals to pursue their own course in life will be reasserted.
N. Node is in 08 Degrees Libra.
You find it very difficult to be comfortable being alone -- you would much prefer to be in an environment where many people are working together toward common goals. Your charming and sincere approach to others assures your popularity -- you have the gift of being able to ease tensions just by your mere presence. You're the perfect "team player" willing to sacrifice your own importance so that the group goal can be accomplished. Be careful, however, not to become overly dependent on your interactions with others -- you have personal private needs that should not be neglected.
