SPENDING HABITS: Grew up living modestly, unaware of her father’s true wealth. Not incredibly frugal but not a spendthrift. Does not check her bank account every time she goes to purchase something, but does not buy clothes or decorations very often. Most of her money (her trust fund and her father’s settlement) on tuition, school supplies or camera supplies when she needs it,
MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION: Based on cost? Either her MacBook Pro or her Nikon DSLR with a multitude of lenses. Sentimentally? A charm bracelet her father gave her when she was young--which used to be the only piece of jewelry she wore before she received the bean necklace from Arlo.
TALENTS: Empathetic. Observant; capturing things with her camera that other people might not care to notice. Gentle. Approachable. A great listener; will not interrupt or think about what she wants to say while the other person is speaking.
SHORTCOMINGS: Not assertive; lacks a spine. Shy; introverted. Terrible at public speaking. Shrinks like a dying rose when she has to speak up. A true fly on the wall.
LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN: English. Admires French and would someday like to learn it.
DRIVE?: Yes.
RIDE A BICYCLE?: Not too often, but she learned as a kid.
SWIM?: She can keep herself afloat, but she isn’t extremely talented in the water.
PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?: No, but she always used to watch Fred play the piano. She would sit with him, and he promised to teach her when they got back to school. This never happened. (This year, she and Toni are going to learn together).
PLAY CHESS?: Once or twice, but not very good.
TIE A TIE?: No.

PIERCINGS: None
MARKS/SCARS: Small scars on her knees from falling while running as a kid--she was always terribly clumsy.
NOTABLE FEATURES: At first glance, one might think she has none. Just a plain girl with mousy red hair and freckles. Perhaps her most notable feature is her ability to listen, her strength to hold her words until the other person is truly done speaking, and above all, her empathy
CLOTHING STYLE: Casual comfort. Leggings and comfy sweaters. T-shirts and jeans. “Ath-leisure” wear. Sneakers. A flannel tied around her waist. Lots of hats (mostly caps, and beanies in the winter time). Simplicity. If she can’t pull any on article of clothing in the dark and have it look okay, that means too much time has been wasted on styling her outfit. Does not know how to apply makeup, and does not particularly care to learn.
MBTI TYPE: INFP
MORAL ALIGNMENT: Neutral Good (”The Benefactor”0
TEMPERAMENT: Melancholic
MENTAL HEALTH: lmao (she witnessed a murder guys, come on).
ADDICTION(S): Cortisol (stress 24/7). Isolating herself when she gets anxious. Doodling during lecture classes instead of paying attention. Tea , because she doesn’t care if it’s a stereotype, it’s necessary goddammit..
DRUG USE: Does caffeine count?
ALCOHOL USE: Very rarely (only at parties). Still in the “trying different drinks is fun” stage. Has not yet progressed to the “slam that liquor down stage”

MUSICAL ARTIST: The Beatles,Hall & Oates, Jeff Buckley, Ingrid Michaelson, Adele.
QUOTE/SAYING: “ Never look down on someone unless you’re helping them up. ”
SCENT: Soft and feminine. Calming. Like fresh laundry and a whiff of vanilla or white peony.
SPORT: Softball. Her father used to coach the community team when she was younger. As she got older, she got involved with the school team. When he passed, she couldn’t find herself to pick up her mitt again.
VACATION DESTINATION:: Her ideal getaway would be a cabin on a lake where she can lay on a hammock and read all day.
GREATEST DREAM: To bring her grades up, graduate from college, travel the world, and have the happy and successful life that her father dreamed for her. Fantasy Liz is more extroverted, hosts little get togethers with her friends every weekend, has friends, has not witnessed a murder, and does not act like Liz in any sense of the word. Sad.
GREATEST FEAR: That people will find out that she witnessed the murder and never said anything, that she kept Fred’s true death a secret, that people will think she’s a monster and a murderer and a terrible person, and that her closest friends will turn on her. As a result, she pushed them away before they can find out and reject her.
BIGGEST SECRET: She was there the night of the murder!! She watched Fred die and never told anyone!! What a monster!!
TOP PRIORITIES: Moving on from Fred’s death and the drama that happened at last year’s bonfire. She wants to forget it ever happened, forget that she’s guilty of being an “accomplice,” and go about her life. (Keep in mind, this is not a part of the grieving process, but she is poorly misguided by her own anxiety).
