Elise

Elise Hibiscae is a character that appears in the third act of the Peasverse plotlines. She is a Girl Boss small business owner

Appearance
Elise has dark medium length hair and dark eyes which never seem to touch her upper eyelids. She is a white woman who is probably some sort of French and maybe some kind of Italian or Irish or something. She wears thick leather gloves that cover up her extensively scarred and burned hands - she insists they are all from candy mishaps. She dresses in practical albeit artfully tattered dresses to give the impression of an eccentric witch.

Personality
She is a compulsive liar with a particular fixation of claiming to be French nobility despite a tenuous at best connection to the country itself. She cannot speak French. Elise goes out of her way to appear cryptic and aims to have her presence act as a portent for whatever cataclysmic event will forever change any person's life after meeting her.

History
Elise can, will and has lied about any and everything pertaining to her past. The only thing about her story that remains consistent in every retelling and that can be backed by evidence to some degree is that she owns a candy store, has legally changed her name at least once, and is probably actually French to some degree.

Trivia

 * Elise's nickname "Sweets Hag" is a result of a few strategically planted rumours as well as giving away bright red candies to children accompanied by grave warnings.


 * "Lady Elise" is what she insists her title would be had her family not fled the French revolution
 * This might be a lie
 * Her shop sells a surprisingly wide variety of candies and sweets despite her being the sole employee
 * Her understanding of French is limited to extremely basic direct translations of specific words and a terrible fake accent
 * At the time of her death, her remaining candy (which she left with Milo) was as follows:
 * 12 generic red hard candies
 * A mostly full tin of mints (about 20 pieces)
 * 7 pieces of chewing gum
 * 3 pieces of taffy
 * 2 squares of salted caramel fudge
 * 1 single Violette (French candy)
 * She ate the only other piece in her posession before heading off to her execution
