Eliza

Eliza is Claymore No. 17 of Clare's generation.

Etymology
"Eliza" is a transliteration of the Japanese "Eriza" (イライザ, pronounced "e-i-re-zah").

"Eliza" derives from "Elizebeth," itself deriving from the Greek form of the Hebrew "Elisheva," meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance." Compare to "Beth."

Biography
She participated in the Northern Campaign with 23 other Claymores. She was a member of Jean's team along with Emelia (No. 27), Natalie (No. 37) and Diana (No. 44).

Eliza, like the rest of Jean's team, was defeated by one of the three Awakened Beings during the first battle. The Awakened Being blames their loss on Jean, accusing her of being a terrible leader. Eliza and the rest of Jean's team were saved by the arrival of Veronica's team as back-up.
