Eliza Faust (エリザ・ファウスト, Eriza Fausuto) is the guardian ghost of Johann Faust VIII. She married Faust when she was alive but was later tragically killed. She is voiced by Yuka Komatsu in Japanese, and Lisa Ortiz in English.
About
Eliza was born June 29, 1963, and was from Germany. Ever since childhood, Eliza had been sick with a fatal disease. As the only woman to care for Faust VIII, he, in return, slaved over his studies to find a cure for her and succeeded. After her recovery, they were married and opened a clinic together. They lived together happily until one day when Faust was away, a burglar broke into their mansion's clinic. The burglar shot Eliza point blank in the head and Faust returned home too late to save her.
Faust was driven insane by his beloved wife's death and used necromancy to try to revive her. For the Shaman Fight, he took her skeletal remains from her grave to use as a medium and in hopes of bringing her back to life. However, Faust's powers only allow him to conjure an image of Eliza rather than her actual soul. To recruit Faust onto Yoh's team, Anna summons Eliza's soul back, allowing Faust to communicate and see Eliza more often. He later becomes strong enough to call her anytime he wishes.
Eliza was educated as a nurse and worked with her husband at the clinic in their mansion. According to Faust, she was a little bit clumsy with syringes, injecting the same spot several times until she hit the mark.

With the magic acquired from its contents, Faust is able to vividly recreate the semblance of life in the corpse of his deceased wife Eliza, and reanimated her body by integrating her ghost with her skeleton and fleshing them out with Furyoku. However, necromancy can only reanimated corpses, and will not work if the ghost has any will-power remaining. To that extent, "Dear Eliza" is nothing more than an empty doll, with no will of her own. aside from Faust. although not very strong, "Dear Eliza" is fortified with pure Furyoku and wields a huge hand-made staff affixed with a giant razor blade with the Oversoul extended over it, making her particularly lethal at close to mid-range combat.
On a weird yet interesting note, as a result of the battle between Faust and Yoh, Faust replaced one of Eliza's broken leg bones with his own legs.

Her equipment is scalpels, scissors and sounds on her right arm and fingers, and an oversize syringe on her left arm, equipped with an ammunition belt.

Towards the end of the manga series, Faust begins to "wear" Eliza and the armor protrudes from his back instead.
Attacks
- Chō-Senjiryakketsu - Jugon Zonshi(1000-year-old secret art - Forbidden incantation for preserving thoughts): After being unable to defeat death many times, Faust can finally, with this oversoul, create a technique that can revive even the dead, as long as their bodies are not too damaged. With this technique, he can also remove any damage and fatigue and even regrow limbs, although the latter is a slow and painful process.[1]
- Ampule Hagen(アンプルハーゲン): Faust and Eliza fire hundreds of oversoul missiles that look like hypodermic needles.[2]
Anime/Manga Difference

In the 4Kids version, there's a strange refusal to refer to Eliza as Faust's wife, calling her his girlfriend or love instead.
