Eli’s character is also an outsider because her vampire characteristics set her apart: she can only drink blood to feed herself and she is unaffected by cold weather, she goes out barefoot sometimes so it makes it easier for her to climb walls and trees, among many other characteristics that contrast her from others. He comes across the second main character, Eli, when she moves into the same apartment complex and he is very defensive when they first meet.
