She owns a very select boutique in Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills called “Huntress”, which she manages with firm a hand and quick mind. However, although most people believe that the name of her store makes reference to her own surname she has it as a private joke for Elise Hunt is a member of the Society of Ulle, a “huntress” herself.
(Elise is played by Jenna Elfman)
BACKGROUND:
Elise lived a happy and indulged life until the age of ten when a fierce and sudden vampire attack towards her family home in Los Angeles left her and her brother orphans. The children were spared the fate of the rest of the family because they were visiting a fair with their maternal grandmother, although they crossed the vampires when they finally got to the house. Frozen in Elise’s memory is the image of a scarred man with strange malformed eyes. Later, after placing bits and pieces together she realized that that man had been a vampire.
After recovering from the loss of her family, the grandmother decided to return to her homeland, England, to raise her grandchildren. They then moved to Cambridge, where Elise and Alec were educated as aristocratic English children. When Elise was a teenager, she entered a high-class boarding school, and later she attended the University of London where she graduated in arts. However all the time Elise was hiding half her life.
By day she was a perfect English lady, prim and proper, but by night she hunted, because Elise used to sneak out of her select school during the night to look for vampires. Fortune was on her side when, at the age of sixteen, she crossed paths with Jennifer Stashelf, otherwise she would have been killed soon enough in one of her incursions.
Jennifer was a little older than Elise and had her own reasons to look for supernatural creatures, although her prey were usually werewolves. The two girls met at London streets and more streetwise Jenny took Elise under her wing. She presented the aristocratic girl to “Big Joe” an ex-boxer who was training Jenny and thus he started training Elise as well. With Big Joe’s help Elise became a good fighter, training not only in boxing but other martial arts as well. Together, Elise and Jenny started raiding London streets. By the time she entered University, Elise had more field practice than many much older hunters.
However, when Elise was 25 years old her grandmother died and Elise decided to move to the Stated. She no longer felt obliged to live in London and wanted to return to her home in Los Angeles. Her brother Alec was very enthusiastic with the idea too, and upon arriving to California he transferred to a local high school . Elise and her brother moved to their old house and she started looking for a place where to establish a fashion store. She opened “Huntress” not long after coming to LA and the store hit success from the beginning. Elise’s sense of style and fashion designs made the boutique one of Rodeo Drive’s best. Her life hadn’t changed so much, though; she still hunted in the nights.
Three years after arriving to LA she received a visit from Jenny. The girl had also moved to LA and had looked for her as soon as she had arrived to the city. She had a proposition to offer Elise, she had been recruited by The Society of Ulle two years ago and she wanted Elise to join the Society too. Elise was awed by the possibilities of joining such a Society and promptly accepted, becoming a member as well.
Some time later, Jenny was killed by a shapeshifter creature. She was devastated, Jenny had been the only friend she had ever known. And although her death was avenged soon enough by another Society hunter named Sorrow, Elise sense of revenge was fueled. After Jenny’s death Elise became even more introverted and reticent.
Nowadays, Elise is 30 years old and her brother is 23, currently studying mining engineering at the U.C.L.A.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
Elise's powers are that of a strong and trained woman. She is a very good shot with both guns and crossbow.
ITEMS:
She usually goes hunting with two big guns, Jenny's guns, which she petitioned L.A. Huntmaster to have after her friend's death. She had them adapted, though, to fire wooden bullets, since she hunts vampires and not lycanthropes like her friend did. She also has a beautifully carved crossbow, but she usually doesn't use it because it is very difficult to hide.
