Eliza has lived in the hidden village since childhood, becoming fast friends with the protagonist at an early age. Like everyone else in the village, Eliza is committed to hiding and protecting the Hero from the forces of monsterkind until he or she fully develops into the chosen savior. When the agents of [[Psaro]] raze the town, the Hero's father hides him/her in the storehouse, and she follows them in. As the monsters draw near, Eliza states that she can't allow the Hero to die, and, taking on their form, rushes the attackers and sacrifices her life for friend. | Eliza has lived in the hidden village since childhood, becoming fast friends with the protagonist at an early age.

Eliza's dialogue just prior to the attack suggests she harbors strong feelings towards the Hero, as she states she wishes she could stay with him forever. This dialogue is mostly the same if the protagonist is female, but adding that she considers the protagonist to be like a sister to her. | Eliza's dialogue just prior to the attack suggests she harbors strong feelings towards the Hero, as she states she wishes she could stay with him forever.

The {{Luminary}} finds Eliza in a sticky situation when visiting the Hidden Valley--she's gotten herself trapped in the form of a [[Slime]], and the villagers have taken none too kindly to this sudden visitor. A [[Supreme sage's staff]] is required to set her shape-shifting straight.

*While it is not outright stated that Eliza is an [[Elves and Faeries|elf]], this is implied through the use of the elf sprite in the NES Version and her pointed ears in the remakes. However, her official art shows her as a normal human girl, and none of the villagers regard her any differently. In the [[Dragon Quest CD Theater]], she has ruby tears, which is a special elf trait that [[Rose]] is hunted for in the game. | *While it is not outright stated that Eliza is an [[Elves and Faeries|elf]], this is implied through the use of the elf sprite in the {{NES}} Version and her pointed ears in the remakes.
