BloodyMary,

Loose all of the pigmentation or maybe a very strong white light to wash out, and not a bad match.

Thanks.

PS. I am so used to thinking of Eli with curly/wavy hair (damn Lina) that your mostly straight gets in the way a bit.

I can't edit. + I have no idea what you just said. (hahahah... )
My hair's not naturally straight, I straightened it because I had to cut my bangs recently so it would be even. but nah I was just curious.

Welcome. BloodyMary! Missed your pic so can't comment. Intrige may have the dark hair, etc, but she still somehow doesn't look vampiric.

Young, long dark hair, big DARK eyes. Very lovely young lady and could very easily have been an Eli in other parts of the world.

You are exactly right. Hannah is Eli's genetic twin. Except, of course, Hannah was born a girl. :ugeek:

How that's even possible is a long story... :D

Here's how someone once pictured Eli with "Samuel Beckett's eyes in Audrey Hepburn's face". Just click on the link above.

How would you like to open the door on Halloween and have this face staring at you? :lol:

I haven't changed since elementary school, so don't freak out if I look the same. hahaha
I am sure you have changed from then, in any way. But asure me when I was that you will change from now on, I did too, a whole lot. I am just a little bit older than you, and I change all the time still. :P
