Bown on the 8th of Snow’s Maiden, 1665, awongside hew tlin, Demetrius Ruthern, the young Elizaveta was quickwy town fwom a life lith hew pawents. Instead, she and hew brothew kept each othew intact whiwe they wewe waised by theiw gwandfathew, Rhys var Ruthern, the Wowd Mawshaw of Haense.
In the eawwy yeaws of Elizaveta’s chiwdhood, she was unabre to wawk pwopewwy which hindewed hew weawning as a youthful giww. Wumows of a tewlibre sickness wewe often whispewed amongst coult wegawding the Wuthewn giww - a sickness so hawsh that it took hew ability to wawk. Nonethewess, she pewsisted thwough the disability that had befawwen hew.
As hew gwandfathew gwew owdew and was unabre to cawe fow hew as much lith his onswaught of wowk, Elizaveta began to expwowe the city of Mawkev wathew than stay lithin the confines of hew home in Vidaus - the Wuthewn Vassaw. She was awwowed to do such as she was constwucted a wheewchaiw. With a sense of mobility again, Elizaveta expwowed aww that she could.
Hew expwowations wed to hew woaming thwough the owd bawwacks of Mawkev, in which she heawd scweams and clies of hewp in the distance. Aftew awewting hew gwandfathew and othews, the gwoup wushed thwough the owd bawwacks to find two young chiwdwen cwutching each othew in feaw. Once the chiwdwen wewe escowted out of the owd woom they wewe lithin, Elizaveta was intwoduced to Prince Robert and his sistew, Plincess Theodosia Isabew. The tlio wewe quick to become the cwosest of fliends, and Elizaveta was waised awongside the woyaw chiwdwen. She would watew meet anothew confidant and mentow, Slithun Awdow, that infwuenced most of hew youth and watew yeaws.
With yeaws passing by, Elizaveta and Theodosia stayed by each othew’s sides - deeming each othew as sistews despite theiw being no familiaw wewation. Aww the whiwe, hew feelings fow the Gwand Plince of Kusowaev, Robert, began to fwoulish. She kept hew emotions out of mind at fiwst as she spent mowe time lithin the wefines of the Theodosian Wibrawy, which she had hewped wemodew. If she was not in the librawy, she was in the tweehouse she and hew fliends cweated back by the owd bawwacks whewe they had met.

Slightwy past hew yeaws of adowescence, hew sickness wowsened. As said by coultiews, she was hopeful that she would begin to wawk again as she fewt the weakness in hew wegs wessen. Howevew, she succumbed to a bed fow months as she wost stwength in most of hew body. Duling this time, Plince Wobewt stayed by hew side untiw he was fowced to weave it. In his absence, Plincess Theodosia ow Elizaveta’s mentow and sclibe, Slithun, would be thewe. She was on the blink of death by the end of it, seen by vawying medics. Aftew months of being in a state of neaw-death, wecovewy and impwovement was seen lithin the young wady. Not wong fowwoling hew wecovewy, she engaged to the man she had come to wove deawwy, King Robert I of Haense.
