someone get this woman away from it all, heaven knows she needs a vacation

character description i wrote for Elsa below the cut since she doesn't have her own:

"With hooded river eyes that hold the weight of a bygone war, Elsa is the resident doctor for any gangsters, bootleggers, and rumrunners passing through. She runs a liquor trafficking operation with her brother and husband in Defiance, Missouri, providing her medical expertise and no-nonsense demeanor to the trio. Elsa was a former nurse in the Great War where she would wed the gregarious Bobby Bastion. Opposites attract, this is true, but she would later on build a perhaps deeper bond with Viktor Vasko while he stayed in Defiance, as the two found silent solace in the other for their shared, lingering trauma of the war, in contrast to her husband's cheery nature despite being a veteran himself.

When Elsa is not sewing up brains back in heads or poking needles in scaredy cats, the world-weary woman probably likes to garden, tolerate her husband's yapping, and suffer no fools."
