Character Information:

Character Name: Elliot Reid
Age: mid-twenties
Canon: Scrubs

Appearance: Elliot is about a thin, blonde doctor who until recently dressed very sloppily because she was such a workaholic. From the canon point I took her from she got a layed haircut and started dressing in more designer clothes and wearing much more heavy makeup.


Personality:
Elliot is at first glance a neurotic mess. At second look...she's still one. Her mouth tends to move quicker than her mind does sometimes which often ends up with her putting her foot in her mouth and not only embarrassing herself but everyone who had to listen to her in the process. Sometimes, when she's nervous, the rambling gets so severe that it ends up becoming a rapid, high pitched jumble of words that just about nobody can understand.

She's constantly second guessing herself and everything she does. To say that Elliot has low self esteem is an understatement. This comes mostly from the fact that her parents never gave her real support. Her father constantly pushed her to be better, never satisified with who she was, and her mother constantly tore her down, insulting everything from her appearance to her attitude. When Elliot first arrives at Sacred Heart she seems confident, trying to do anything to push ahead of the other interns but as time goes by it becomes clear that this behavior stems from all of her deep seated insecurities.

Despite her nervousness and insecurity, she's a surprisngly skilled doctor. Since she's never really believed in herself, she's always pushed herself just a liittle bit harder than everyone else, and it shows in her incredible book knowledge in medicine. Though she sturggled with hands on experiencince, over time she began to learn how to push aside her anxieties and focus on the task at hand. After all, lives were at stake. She's extremely dedicated to her work and will do anything to help her patients, even taking risks.

When she dates a guy for the first time she usually tries to act normal, afraid that if he sees the real her, he'll freak out. This hard for her, considering how much of her awkwardness is just natural. She's often put her work before her romantic life, but she's struggling to find a balance.

Desptie how often she's been bullied or just treated badly, Elliot still tries to see the best in people as much as she can. This is seen best when a reoccuring drug addict comes in the hospital and she believes he's trying to change, but he tries to score drugs off her. She wants to think there's some spakr of good in every person. Even the worst ones.

From the canon point I'm taking her from she's made the decision to finally try to fight back in life. So often she's just rolled over and cried and let bad things happen to her, but she doesn't want to be that weak anymore. Of course, change isn't easy and just because she has a new look doesn't mean everything inside of her is suddenly going to change too.

First Person:
[Hello citzens. Today you're getting a holovid of a very, very freaked out blonde doctor. Enjoy.]

Frick. Frick. Frick.

Oh my god I don't know what happened or how I ended up here but if I don't show up for work tomorrow Dr. Cox is going to kill me. And if he doesn't Dr. Kelso certainly will and either way would pretty much suck because they're both just such complete hardasses. And I know I told myself I wasn't just going to lay over and take it anymore but I didn't think it was going to be tested this soon either, you know?

[And this is about when she realizes the holopad is on]

Oh my god! Is someone on the other end of this thing? Please, please, please tell me you didn't hear all that. And if you did I promise I'm not that crazy normally. Or crazy at all normally even. Okay, so maybe a little crazy but really I'm just freaked out and I don't know how I got here and I'm going to be in so much trouble with work if I don't get home so if you could please, please help me somehow I'd be so eternally grateful.



Third Person: Elliot felt pretty damn good when she got home from telling that jerk off of a lab technition off. After all, it wasn't every day that she just kicked total ass at Sacred Heart.

Okay, so in reality it wasn't like any day, but that was going to change. She wasn't going to be crybaby Elliot anymore. She couldn't be. Not if she wanted to survive in the hospital. She couldn't just keep relying on people like Carla or Dr. Cox to save her. It was time to sink and swim.

As she made her way into the apartment she stopped in front of her mirror, checking out her new hair cut and makeup. At the very least, she looked different. And it wouldn't be soon until she really felt different, right? What was that her mother always said? Fake it until you make it.

Of course, Elliot was pretty sure when her mother said it she usually was talking about orgasms, but she tried to ignore that really creepy detail and focus on the fact that right now? That was pretty good advice.

And as if to make things even better, she gave a little shriek as her phone vibrated, and then another when she noticed who was calling. Sean. Running into him again had been the best thing to happen to her in a long time. And the catalyst for this whole change in her. So hearing from him again? Definite plus.

"Sean? Oh my god, I was just thinking about you. I mean, not really because we talked together at the hospital like an hour ago and how creepy would it be if I was still thinking about you? Totally crazy, right? So yeah, definitely was not doing that." She finally paused, allowing the man on the other line to speak.

"You want me to visit you at your work? Sure. I've never been to Sea World before. Seals kind of totally freak me out but for you I'll power through it. I mean. As a friend. Because we're not dating or anything. So I'll come by on Friday, that's when I have a day off. Sound good?" Another pause. "I'll talk to later then."

And with that she hung up the phone and squealed again, flopping down on her couch.

Finally, things were turning up for her.
