Elizabeth Gold-Sharpe/Queen Goldenstar I/Taka

{OUAT/Disney - Open, During the Curse, Season 1 Ep. 1 Introduction}

The class bell rang out over Storybrooke university as the most peculiar professor, the dean of biological sciences began to ready herself to teach her Introduction to Evolutionary Biology Class. Professor Gold also known as Elizabeth Gold- Sharpe- Lokidottir was known for her work in both saving endangered species and working with African Animals and Big Cats. But she was also known for her tragic story. Mr. Golds daughter had been adopted by the former owner of Golds estate, Nimea Pendragon and had inherited it. She had given Gold his start in the business world and in turn he adopted her as his own. Elizabeth Gold-Sharpe or Dr. Gold as far as the university was concerned was an abuse survivor. And it affected her everyday life. Neurological damage gave her a swaying gait and caused incontinence and the trauma of her childhood affected her life every day to thd point where Gold had to assist her and care for her mental and physical health. And she had cancer…and on top of it she had lost her husband and wife to a tragic event that she never spoke of, and sadly insisted sometimes that they were still in the room with her. The teacher and owner of Kidani Village wildlife park was said to be mad beyond repair but she kept on teaching if nothing else just to prove everyone wrong. Her skin was off a bit, a golden color and some said it glowed in the light. “Right then.” She spoke in a high pitched Scottish accent. “Who can tell me what an apex predator is?” Her strange uncommonly green eyes, one of which was marred by a long thin but deep scar. She rapped on the table with her claw like fingernails to get their attention…and some could even swore they heard a growling sound from her throat as if a mother lion was giving her charges a warning. “Come on then everyone wake up. Up up up.” Her obnoxious high pitched voice reverberated in a thick Scottish brogue.
