Appearence
Elizabeth Ryder is almost always described as 'beautiful' if you were to ask any handful of young men she knows. (With the exception of Cillian Rodrigo, who would disagree in spite.) While this is true, she always finds fault with something about her physical appearance. For instance, her chest. She finds she didn't develop quite as much as she would have liked to. She's never heard a complaint about her slim figure, but it still irritates. She also wishes her hair would make up its mind. Straight or curly, not whatever it is doing now. However, despite these minor 'flaws', she knows that she's what most men find attractive. Standing at about five feet, five inches, with a delicate hourglass shape and soft features, it's no wonder. Her hair comes just a few inches past her shoulders, though normally well groomed, it can be slightly wavy at times to the point of curly and frizzy, and is the hue of a caramel blonde. Her skin is lightly tanned from hours spent outside. Her gait is a matter of poise and elegance, keeping her shoulders square at all times. Her delicate brown eyes complete the picture, once described as “out of a Victorian painting.” (Courtesy Bellamy Florentin)
No matter what she wears, Elizabeth manages to make it work for her. Her daily wear mostly consists of school uniforms during the school year.

Elizabeth is played by Keira Knightley (blonde), who she shares with Rose Tippet (brunette).
Personality
Elizabeth is not of the 'faint at heart'. Quite on the contrary, for she has an outgoing personality and is extremely spirited. This young woman is most certainly not afraid to speak her mind simple because she doesn’t care what anyone thinks. Unless, of course, that anyone is William Ryder. Her brother’s good opinion is really the only thing Elizabeth desires. Her parent’s passing away built up this strive to become the best she can be; she is virtually on her own, only supported by her brother (who, quite frankly, is not ready to be a parent) and needs to prove to herself that she can do it. However, she is in fact a female, and her emotions get the best of her at times. She likes to get her way, and if she doesn't, you'll hear about it. Elizabeth is somewhat spoiled. That, however, has only barely corrupted her sweet nature. She is also very mature for her age; she readily makes friends with those older than her.
She longs for freedom and adventure, and her curiosity can sometimes get the better of her. Her childhood on the open sea has created in her a need for open space. That is one reason she loves Quidditch so. She often feels confined, especially if she cannot see the sky. Her greatest fear is a small, enclosed space, with no light, no wind, no sky. Only darkness. Her Bogart takes the shape of a cage enclosing her.
Elizabeth, as far as school is concerned, is an above average student, but nothing really special. She just does the work, not really paying very much attention to it's difficulty or, really, even to it. She has been asked before why she can't be more like her brother, a student who excelled, and her answer was simple: I want to do it my way. I'm not interested in living someone else's life.
As far as athletics, Elizabeth is a huge Quidditch fan, liking to play both at school and at home. Currently, she is entertaining the idea of going pro. She recognizes the need to stay fit in all ways, however, so trains as often as she can by running. She is also moderately good at fighting (without magic, as well as with), skills she picked up as a young girl and keeps well tuned, just in case.
