PERSONALITY
Elizabeth is one of those people whose looks can sometimes be just a bit deceiving. At first glance, most people take her for a girl who has a sweet and gentle demeanor, and it's not so much that she doesn't, but she definitely is a lot more driven than most people expect, and also has a temper that can surprise them quite a bit. She is very kind though, and she does take after her parents' desire to help people whenever she can. She's not quite as selfless as they are though, because she does tend to have a preference toward helping people she knows a lot more than people she doesn't, and she will sometimes turn down an opportunity to go out and help others if she feels she has something better to do. She does tend to be a bit of a penny pincher, mostly because her parents taught all their kids the value of money growing up, and she took it in a way that she should always avoid spending money on anything unless she absolutely has to.
One of her biggest flaws is that she doesn't really know how to have fun. Being the oldest of her siblings, she's always taken her role among the family pretty seriously, and she strives to be a responsible adult, even if that means putting work before play on pretty much a daily basis. As it is, when she was looking through schooling options during the summer before her senior year of high school, she was busy filling out applications to go into Accounting Management, because she figured she'd be able to then come home and help her parents out with the farm's financing and such. If her parents hadn't dug a bit deeper to find out if that really was what she wanted to do versus what she felt she needed to do, and then encouraged her to pursue what she was actually passionate about, she wouldn't have taken the path she is on now. As it is, moving away from home was a big decision to her, and she's been having a hard time adjusting as she doesn't really make friends very easily, but school makes up for it in every single way.
Although she's an attractive girl and has received her share of attention through her high school years - especially considering the fact that it was a pretty small school with slim pickings - Elizabeth has never been involved in a relationship. She's gone on a few dates here and there, and had someone take her to prom both in her Junior and Senior year, but it never really went past that. She is aware of her attraction for both guys and girls, although it just hasn't happened yet that she's been involved with someone of the same sex, but it's not because she's not comfortable with the idea so much as the fact that there just hasn't been an opportunity to do so yet.
LIKES AND DISLIKES
Elizabeth's favorite color is wisteria purple, and she's not a fan of coal grey. She loves summer, and could do without winter. She's a horse person, and she hates mice. She could eat spaghetti any day of the week, and she craves ice cream cake most often, but she hardly ever eats beans, and dislikes sour candy. She's not a tea drinker, she much prefers water. She loves to sing and draw, but dislikes being ignored. Her best subject in school is Math, and her worst is History.
APPEARANCE
Elizabeth has a combination of features that definitely does tend to draw other people's eyes, although she doesn't consider herself to really be more than pretty. She has golden blonde hair that reach a few inches past her shoulders, which she generally keeps straight, which is what most people usually notice about her, and deep brown eyes under slightly arched eyebrows. Her nose is proportional to her face and straight, nothing to complain about, and her lips are fairly thin. She's not very tall, standing only at 5'3", and she has a slim build although she doesn't have much to complain about in terms of curves. She's not the most fashionable person ever, having grown up on a farm, she'll definitely pick practical over stylish any day, and although she's currently away for college, she still hasn't quite gotten over the habit of it.
FAMILY DYNAMICS
Elizabeth is very family oriented, and very respectful of her parents. She knows they've worked hard their whole lives to give them what they've been able to give them, and she's extremely grateful for it. She's got a close relationship to both of her parents, and she knows she can talk to them about anything, but most of the time, she doesn't really go to them with her problems, mainly because she doesn't really want to bother them with that kind of stuff. She loves spending time with both her dad and her mom though, either helping out on the farm or just during a family dinner, and while she's away at college, she definitely misses her home, and tries to visit as often as is reasonable.
Being the oldest of her siblings, she's always tried to be there for them as much as possible, partly to try and lessen the workload for her parents. She did fight quite a bit with Rosalie as she got to her teenage years, though now they get along a bit better - they still don't see eye to eye on much, but at least they don't argue so much anymore. With Lucas and Jennifer, who are respectively six and eight years younger than she is, she's always had a bit of a different bond. She was very protective of them when they were little, and even to this day she always makes sure to do what she can to help out her brother and youngest sister, if only from a distance.
