Elizabeth Taylor, the actress who played the title character in the 1963 film, Cleopatra.Elizabeth Báthory, a real life Hungarian Countess who believed that by using her victim's blood she would remain beautiful, mirrored by Eliza's own use of blood.She was named after (and influenced by) two people: Now she finds herself pitted amongst the other girls in an ancient advent that Samson and Leviathan know all too well.Įliza is supposedly an alias and is short for Elizabeth, which means 'My God is an oath' or 'My God is abundance'. It did not take long for the Medici Mafia to discover this secret and use it to their advantage and blackmail Eliza. Under her lavish appearance, Eliza harbors a dark secret, she carries the Parasite Sekhmet and uses the blood she gains in the drives to make herself young and beautiful perpetually.

Despite those qualities, she does not exhibit any type of abuse towards her servants Albus and Horace.Įliza is fond of cats. When fighting as Sekhmet, she is very aggressive, sadistic, and feral. Her adamance of wanting Samson and Leviathan to share her ideal of Theons taking power once more also suggests she considers this prejudice unjust, deeming them deserving of a higher social order. While malicious, she is shown to dislike the prejudice against parasites due to being bound to her own skeletal parasite, Sekhmet.

For example, she killed Cerebella after she refused to back down upon realizing Eliza's true intentions.

Although she prefers to sing on the stage over searching for the Skullgirl, she starts to enjoy the challenge of the hunt when something catches her eye along the way. Despite running a charity blood drive, she has a greedy side in which she wants to keep the blood all to herself to retain her beauty. She is confirmed to be older than Annie, and has been operating under her current guise for the past twenty years.Įliza is a diva who loves to be the center of attention.
