Name: Elizabeth Ingersoll
Code Name: Florence
Strength: Medical Knowledge - Elizabeth has trained and worked as a nurse, and she has started attending medical school in order to become a doctor.
Weakness: Reluctant to Kill - Elizabeth has not yet taken the Hippocratic Oath, but her natural compassion and respect for human life makes it difficult for her to take one.
Appearance: Elizabeth is tall, with dark hair and green eyes. She tends to dress stylishly in the latest fashions, or at least the latest that she can get on the ration.
Background: Elizabeth was born and raised in London. She comes from a wealthy, upper class family, and thus she has learned to drive. She has been a nurse for a few years. When the war started in September 1939, she wanted to do her bit and volunteered to help the British Army. She accompanied the British Expeditionary Force to France, where she was immersed in the French language while treating both British and French soldiers. During the Phoney War there weren't as many injuries, though accidents still happened and disease and illness were a constant threat. She was home in London on leave when the Blitzkrieg began on May 10, 1940, and thus she did not need to evacuate with the BEF. She enrolled in medical school at University College in London, intending to become a doctor so that she could be better equipped to save lives. During the day she attended medical school, and at night she volunteered as an ambulance driver. An officer who was a recruiter for the SOE was attending a meeting in London one evening in the fall of 1940. It ran late, and the air raid sirens went off, but they kept working through it. After it wrapped up, he was on his way to the shelter when the bombs started falling, and he was injured in a blast. It was Elizabeth who picked him up in her ambulance to take him to the hospital. He was impressed by her coolness under fire and decided to recruit her into the SOE.
Demeanor: Elizabeth is very compassionate. It is her caring about others that motivates her more than anything. She is also very upbeat, always looking on the bright side of things and refusing to let the horrors of war get her down.
