Eli

Main Character

Female

Eli is the star-crossed heroine and frequent narrator of this story. She has a personality that gives her the air of not being quite all there. She often sees the world in a bigger picture and misses the fine details if they are not pointed out to her. She loves the night, and why wouldn't she? She is a Dreamer, one of few in the world that dream so vividly they can travel in the Dream World. Yet it is not all that it is cracked up to be, and Eli takes this very hard as she sees her dreams as a refuge from reality. The nightmares that plague her as the story unfolds tend to centre on her fears; those of fire, pain, and the sun that brings the day. She is clever and sometimes quick-witted, though school is not her forte and she finds herself day dreaming through her classes. Eli has several friends outside of the Dream World, and these include Skye, Sidney, and Trevor, Eli's timid boyfriend. She later meets Alec while being attacked by Nightmare, and the two have an obvious connection. It is also interesting to note that Eli has a voice in her head, though she will later find out that it isn't exactly a voice after all. She is five feet tall, and has long, straight, chocolate brown hair. Her eyes are blue, but very early in the story they change to purple for a reason unknown to the reader.
