Life
Elisabeth Toutel was born in Sofasi, and attended Rider Primary School. She skipped the fourth grade. After graduating from her high school in 1976, she attended a pre-medical selection of courses at the University of California at Berkeley in the United States. After completing her courses in 1980, Toutel went to the medical school at the nearby University of California at San Francisco, receiving a medical doctorate in 1984. She then returned to Lovia to practice medicine at the Sofasi Medical Center and Seven Medical Center. Toutel eventually became interested in politics, becoming an influential independent figure in Sofasian politics, though never mayor. Eventually, she joined the Liberal Democratic Party. She ran in the 2011 Special Federal Elections, was elected, and remained as a Social Liberal Party backbencher in the 2011 Second Congress and 2012 Congress. However, Toutel was narrowly defeated in the 2013 Federal Elections, coming just short of the vote threshold to be re-elected.
