Elise

I first saw her when I walked into Union Station. While she wasn't there for the same reason I was - she needed the restroom, while I went downstairs to the water bottle station - we both ended up leaving at much the same time. Both of us headed for the hill that is the World War I memorial.

I first tried to get her attention at the bottom of the hill, but she didn't hear me. At the top of the hill at the memorial itself, with a chance to see what is still being built up in the Liberty Memorial Mall behind the memorial is when I finally managed to catch her attention.

I discovered through her Instagram as a starting point that she graduated from Wichita State University where she was a member and captain of their Cheer team, with one of her major accomplishments being her team prevailing in the NCA Championships for 2025.
