weaknesses:
shifting- As much as Eli's shifting ability is a strength it is also a weakness. Her control over her ability to shift isn't always there. She has never had anyone to teach her how to use her powers and so therefore doesn't really know how to control them. When her emotions get to greatly out of check sometimes it is difficult for her to stop herself from changing.
temper- Eli tends to be to fiesty for her own good. She has a short fuse in certain situations and they get her into a lot of trouble. She often finds herself in arguements with the wrong people.

impulsiveness- Eli is incredibly impulsive in her decisions. This can be a strength as well as a weakness. She often does things without stopping to think of the consequences or dangers involved.

Some people like this about her while others think it's too dangerous.

lack of knowledge- Eli lacks a knowledge of facts. She does however know things about staying alive. She has travelled the streets for the last 4 years of her life and so she has a certain level of street smarts. She knows little math and has much difficulty reading. She is a quick study but can only learn things hands on. She knows little about things she would have learned through a proper education.

History:
Eli was born in a small town in Eyropa. She has two older brothers and a younger sister. Her parents own a small bakery in the town she grew up in. Her family was extremely close and very protective of eachother... until the accident that is...

When Eli was 17 years old a wolf pack moved into the area of her town. To this day she is unsure of weather or not they were werewolves too. Around the time the wolf pack moved was the time the murders started. Very few nights another child would turn up in the town square, murdered and torn to pieces. The scenes were always horrific. The towns people eventually came to the conclusion that the wolves were the ones to blame for the murders and so they gathered their best hunters and warriors to go on a hunting party to kill the wolves.

Eli's brother, Cayne, was among the people to go. She follow him to the town square were she begged him not to go because it was too dangerous. He refused to listen to her. Eli grew angry with her brother but still he refused to listen. She started shaking in her anger. She told him that she was afraid of him dying in the hunt because these wolves did not seem natural to her. When he brushed her off again claiming that she was a silly child that didn't know what she was talking about she snapped.

Eli morphed into her wolf form for the first time. Almost all of the townsfolk saw and Eli who was terrified ran. She changed from human form to wolf form with no control in her fear and tears. She ran back to the only place she knew, her home. When she explained what had happened at the square she begged them to explain. They were horrified with their daughter, horrified that they had brought another magic user into the world. As horrified as they were however, they couldn't bring themselves to turn her into the townsfolk who would surely kill her. They still loved her after all. Rather than banishing her completely they gave her a few items including her sai and their gold coin and told her to flee and never return. They told her that they could never accept that she was their daughter.

Eli did as she was told. She ran. For years she ran. She lived on the edges of society and travelled from city to city, never staying long. She would always do something reckless to draw attention to herself or she would lose what little control she had and morph in front of people that dispised her magic. Eli spent her life on the run and as a thief. She collected what little money she could and often used her looks to seduce men into giving her what she needed to survive.

Eli made a terrible mistake in a city on the eastern border of Eyropa. She seduced a man into giving her money for a meal, however the man was married and his wife did not take kindly to the young attractive woman who had taken a liking to her husband. The wofe followed Eli from the bar into the street were she challenged her. Eli blew the women off and continued walking away until a stone was thrown. Eli felt the familiar flare of anger that she had now connected with her feral wolf half. She tried to remain calm but the wife was screaming and making a scene. She was calling Eli all sorts of names such as bitch, whore, skank, and slut. Even if some of the accusations were true Eli couldn't stop herself from becoming even more angry. She turned to the woman and told her to back off for her own sake. The wife laughed and threw one accusation out, "Your parents probably threw you out because you are a whore, didn't they?" Eli grew infuriated at the mention of her parents and in one swift leap she morphed mid air and grabbed the woman's throat in her mouth. People screamed and fled and Eli stared for a moment at the woman who now lie dead in the street, a pool of blood forming around her.

Eli was shocked at first, it was her first kill, but then reality set in. The guards would be coming after her in moments. Eli did the thing she knew best. She ran. Eli ran for miles without turning around. In her wolf form she had incredible endurance. For days she ran fleeing east into a land were she knew few lived. Eli ran from the horrors of her past as much as the guards. She wanted nothing to do with her old land and vowed that the next place she stopped, if she lived that long, would be the place were she would stay out of trouble.

Eventually, half alive, Eli stumbled into Marn. She used some of her feeble supply of money to buy a proper meal and rent a bed for the night. She was tired of sleeping upon the unforgiving ground. She inhaled her food and collasped into a heap on the bed. She fell asleep quickly dreaming of what the morning would bring in this new city of Marn.

Hiya, thanks for the application and welcome to Thar!

I would like to see a greater depth of character added via strengths and weaknesses. Right now she feels a bit on the border between acceptable and unacceptable; while there is nothing terribly wrong with the character she just feels a bit unfinished. I think more strengths/weaknesses added to show us who Eli is as a person would help with that.

You say under possessions that Eli has had some martial arts training, but in your history I see no mention of this. She was born in a little village small enough to not receive any formal education, so where did she receive the martial arts training? When? Where did she get her bow from and how did she teach herself to use it? Was anyone in her family a shifter or is it just her?

How does she feel about her wolf form? Has she accepted it, or is she ashamed of it? What are her goals? What does she want out of life?
