Elisabeth Kelly Returns as Program Assistant

I was delighted to welcome Elisabeth Kelly back as Program Assistant for the final mystery of the 2025 season! This will be her fifteenth adventure, with eleven as a detective, and four as a Program Assistant/Dragonmage.

Some of our detectives will remember her memorable performances last year as Hades, Greek god of the Underworld, and as Sarasvati, Hindu goddess of knowledge. It’s not often that our kids burst into spontaneous applause, but her nuanced performance of Hades as an somber, orderly god produced just such a response!

Elisabeth spent two weeks coaching tennis at Maine Pines Kids Summer Tennis Camp this summer. She has also worked as a CIT (Counselor in Training) at Cathance River Educational Alliance in Topsham, ME.

She graduated as an honors student at Mt. Ararat High School last June and will be attending Husson University this fall. She plans to undertake a double major in Forensic Science and Biology, as well as playing on the Husson tennis team.

Elisabeth also has strong skills in art, music, and writing. A 2022 short story she wrote was published as part of the Twisted Tales writing contest. Her lovely designs for Dragon’s Eye projects have been delighting us for years. She also enjoys rock climbing, reading dystopian novels and playing open-world adventure games.

Welcome back, Elisabeth!

 

Introducing Elisabeth Kelly

Elisabeth Kelly has been coming to Dragon's Eye Adventures since 2016, when she and her sister Katherine joined the mystery called "Troll Troubles." With eleven mysteries, she has demonstrated her calm and collected method of handling some of my toughest characters, including the Grey Lady, Lilith, and the Midnight Cat.

Now, she is returning as my Program Assistant, bringing her wisdom and insight to a new roll as Dragonmage for the last three adventures of the summer. She also brings 75 hours of volunteer work as a CIT (Counselor in Training) at Cathance River Educational Alliance in Topsham, ME.

Elisabeth is a thoughtful person who likes to express herself through singing, sketching, and design. Her skills as an artist have been amazing us for years -- see below for a few of her lovely designs.

Elisabeth will be a senior at Mt Ararat High School this fall. She is involved in leadership activities such as the National Honor Society and PALS (Peers Assisting and Listening to Students) through her school. Her extracurricular activities include ensemble theater roles and stage crew for the Mt. Ararat Stage Company. In 2022, a short story she wrote was selected for publication in the Twisted Tales writing contest.

She enjoys playing tennis, rock climbing, reading dystopian novels, and playing open-world adventure games. Elisabeth is eager to come back for another summer of adventures, and I am delighted to welcome a new Dragonmage to our team!
