OCCUPATION:
Student. Aspiring baker and professional nuisance.

SEXUAL PREFERENCES:
Straight

APPEARANCE:
Tall and slender, with long blonde hair and large blue eyes, Elizabeth looks like a porcelain doll. Her features are delicate, almost fragile, and her movements graceful. She dresses like a typical teenage girl – whatever happens to be popular at the time, with a personal spin whenever she can get away with it. She’s especially fond of light colors and sundresses and, showing a strange dichotomy, a more grunge look when she indulges in the typical teenage rebellion.

Though she wears makeup, it is very minimal, and she usually sticks to neutral tones. Occasionally she will experiment with something wild, but only when she’s feeling especially silly. In those instances, she goes overboard with eyeliner, as if she never actually learned to apply makeup properly. Raccoon eyes and all, Lizzy finds this experimentation delightful, and enjoys witnessing people's reactions. Prone to smiles and laughter, she always looks as if she’s floating on cloud nine.

Elizabeth is very attractive in a pure, girl-next-door sort of way, pretty much asking to be broken and reshaped.

PERSONALITY:
In a word: adorable. Elizabeth is bouncy and sweet, readily accepting people into her circle and carelessly overlooking any faults that might present themselves. Convinced that everyone and everything has a warm, squishy side and that even the most inhuman things have a heart buried deep down inside, she is willing to give absolutely anybody a chance, or two, or three. Because of this, she has numerous friends, but she is also used by a number of people she becomes acquainted with. Never learning her lesson, Lizzy often repeats her mistakes over and over again, thoroughly certain that this time everything will work out perfectly.

Due to her nature, friends tend to be very protective towards her.

Elizabeth moves through life at top speed, rushing everywhere in an attempt to experience as much as possible in as little time as she can manage. She is very energetic and perky, and caffeine only wires her up more, so she tends to avoid it whenever possible. When she does have the occasional caffeinated soda, or tea, or coffee, she’s like a little wind up toy, and easily gets on people’s nerves.

She is very childish, almost as if she’s never grown up, but part of that is due to her surroundings and the defense mechanisms she’s had to install to cope with the hardships she'd had to endure from such a tender age. Losing her parents affected her deeply, but it is just another part of herself she's hidden in a dusty corner of her soul, simply not willing to face reality quite yet. She is easily scared, and while not afraid to show it, she still tries to put up a brave front, though it usually ends up like a kitten attempting to intimidate a dinosaur. Few things make her as happy as baking, and she aspires to eventually start her own business.

Her intelligence is also rather questionable, mostly because she isn't the swiftest of birds. Though not stupid, it takes Lizzy some time and effort to fully absorb information, and she tends to speak without thinking, often making her appear more ignorant than she really is.

However, she is still human, and she embraces her entire range of emotions. If she is unhappy, she attempts to see the bright side of things, and if she somehow is unable, she will indulge in a little sulking, but prefers to keep it private so as not to burden anybody with her troubles.

BACKGROUND:
Lizzy was born to a very damaged, soon-to-be broken household. Before the meteor strikes, her parents were at constant odds with one another, and the global catastrophe only worsened their relationship. When one would have expected them to band together for the sake of their three-year-old daughter, they instead bickered relentlessly, each blaming the other for the inadequate care of their child. The father, unable to accept the hardships placed upon his family, turned to the bottle to find answers. Despair soon turned to anger, and then to violence, and by the time Lizzy had turned ten and they were surviving in a dilapidated village in the wasteland, her father had begun taking out his frustrations on his wife.

Lizzy witnessed the violence but drew inward, singing soft lullabies and convincing herself that none of this was really happening, because how could her daddy do something so terrible? She must have done something wrong to cause this, and if she just tried extra hard to be a good little girl, they'd be a loving family again.

However, one day her father went out hunting and never returned.

Her mother did her best to care for Lizzy, and Lizzy, in turn, did her best not to become a burden. She flitted around the village helping here and there, always trying to cheer everyone up and make them tasty dishes with whatever ingredients they happened to have laying around. Life was far from pleasant, but Lizzy had nothing to compare it to, having been so little when the disaster struck. She also believed firmly that even if things were hard today, that did not necessarily mean tomorrow would be so bad. The monsters roaming the wasteland did not really want to hurt anyone, right?

Evil did not exist, after all. Love vanquished everything, brought the princess back from her eternal slumber, defeated the dragon and brought peace and happiness to the land. And if it didn’t happen right away? Well, there was time; there was always time. Who was she to judge?

Lizzy grew into a stunning young woman, and at sixteen she caught the eye of a traveler passing through their village. He propositioned her, and when she adamantly refused, he snarled threats and left.

Three days later, raiders destroyed the village and massacred nearly all the inhabitants. They put the ramshackle buildings to the flame, burning everything in sight. Shocked, somehow - she couldn't quite remember how; everything about that night was a blur, and she did not try too hard to recall - Lizzy survived, and was found huddled in the ashen remnants of the place she called home by a daunting woman named Lily who promised that from now on, she would be taken care of.

A fairy tale ending after all.
