Name: Elektra Natchios
Age: somewhere around 30
Height: 5' 9"
Species: Human
Occupation (if any): Assassin
Body Alterations: single piercing in each ear, a few scars from previous battles
Hair: brown - long and straight, hanging about to her waist if left loose
Eyes: a bright, mossy green - almost hazel, but with more green than brown.
Build: Tall and thin, but with muscle that shows she could be formidable.
Clothing, Jewelry, etc: When not on a full-on mission, she tends to stick with jeans, black t-shirt, and occasionally a black or red leather jacket. When on the job, she plays into the myth that surrounds her, dressing in a red combat outfit that is EXTREMELY form-fitting. She has two necklaces that she wears pretty much constantly, even on the job. One is not known about; the other belonged to her mother.
Personality: Elektra, more often than not, doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor. She is rather quiet, seeming soft-spoken and thoughtful. But deep inside she does have a burning rage, stemming from the tragedies of her past. Also, Elektra has OCD, or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. AS such, her mind works constantly, pushing her to do things like clean after she goes home, arrange everything in exactly a certain way, and count her steps whenever she goes somewhere.
Powers: Working in Stick's compound after her 'death', Elektra was trained in the art of kamigure, or the ability to see things before they happen. While she failed to finish her training, she can still use the powers to some extent, mainly using them to finish her job and keep herself alive.
Abilities: Along with the kamigure Elektra is a trained warrior and killer. She was instructed in the martial arts from when she was a young girl, and as such is an accomplished fighter. Her job as an assassin has somewhat hardened her against death, and as such she is also a great killer, as well.
Weaponry: A pair of sais that she keeps with her quite often, if not almost constantly. She also has a bow, as well as other weapons at her disposal, but her main weaponry are her sais.

History: Elektra Natchios was born the daughter of the wealthy Greek businessman, Nikolas Natchios, and his wife. Her father always pushed her as a child, ignoring the fact that she was just a kid and insisting she push harder, faster, no matter how well she did. When she was just a girl, her mother was killed by agents of the Hand; the first major tragedy in Elektra's life. Years later, on a visit to New York, her father was killed by the assassin Bullseye, intending to kill Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil. Driven by anger and grief, mistakenly believing Daredevil killed her father, Elektra fought and almost killed him. After learning who the real murderer was, she went after Bullseye and, in a fight with him, was fatally wounded and fell from the roof of the building upon which they fought. She was brought back to life by a blind sensei called Stick, who then took her in to train her in the ways of kamigure. However, that anger and deep pain that had driven her into that deadly fight with Bullseye was still there, and she was later expelled from the compound, for forsaking the way and fighting instead on blind instinct and pain. After her expulsion, she became an assassin - one of the best in the world - and has remained so ever since. Most believe her to be a mere urban legend, but those who can pay the price get the results they want from her, should they risk hiring her.
