Elisha was a child who wasn't supposed to be born. She was an accident, a mistake, a child that brought shame down to the family. If Elisha wasn't born, everyone would have been happy. Perhaps her parents as well.
Elisha's parents were not supposed to be together. And they weren't. They just happened to fall in love. Elisha White's Mother was a Malachite, a noble child of Linda and Colt, and as for Elisha's Father he was a slave.
Amelia's mother, Elisha's grandmother, was known to make dominance in England. She grew independent and decided to keep her name even after married. She kept her Garlin name in order for it to continue through generations. It was told that the females in the Malachite family were able to name their children after their last names if they please.
