Personality: Elizabeth, who usually insists you call her Lizzie, is a cheery and headstrong girl. Being a nobleman’s daughter with a doting elder brother, Lizzie is spoiled to a degree and used to getting what she wants. She’s not above faking a few tears or throwing a tantrum to get her way, but is much more often seen smiling and trying beg so things will go her way instead. Often, faking tears will only cause her to cry honestly and ruin whatever fun she was trying to have, due to her easily-shaken emotions. She has a habit of not only getting carried away with her own ideas, but those of others and her own emotions, no matter how misinterpreted. Hardly anyone in her life, aside from her mother, has it in them to argue with her, so she is used to getting her way and only learning through the consequences of her own decisions blowing up in her face.

Lizzie can be unknowingly cruel, but she means well and tries to make things better for her loved ones in her own, sometimes selfish, way. She truly does care about others and tries very hard to please them with gifts and things she enjoys, such as when she completely redecorates Phantomhive Manor right down to its servants, but doesn’t seem to realize that her attention can be over-bearing at times and that not everyone enjoys the things she does. She has an incredible fondness for anything “cute”, which is subject to a taste that few seem to share. She will decorate anything from people to ballrooms in ribbons and frills, and is very proud of the work once she’s done. She has a confidence in her beauty and style that’s almost entirely genuine, knowing she must be proper and perfect as not only a noble lady of her household, but to hide any flaws that might show themselves through her mother’s family’s shadowy dealings and her own wavering trust in the boy she longs to protect.

Beneath all of this, Elizabeth has a side to her that’s as hard as steel. She has been raised to by her mother, a great swordswoman and a Phantomhive by birth herself, to be a suitable bride for the Phantomhive heir. With the determination of a proper knight, Lizzie has become a highly recognized prodigy in fencing, to the point that she wiped the floor with her older and more trained brother at just 10 years old. It’s something that comes naturally to her, and she will use the skills she learned with it from anything to proper fighting to placing Easter eggs in hard-to-reach places for a game. Very little can dampen her playful spirit, even if it’s supported by a will as strong her physical strength.

Though she is confident in her beauty, she is still easily stung by words aimed at her actions or personality. She fears rejection deeply, by Ciel especially, and hid her talent with a blade from him for many years, thinking that he would not want her if she was as strong and tough as her mother is. She changes how she dresses and acts more childishly with him, in order to make him seem older and more mature, though she herself wants to appear to be those same things. Elizabeth wants to seem innocent and sweet with her betrothed, taking some advice one of her deceased aunts told her as a child.

Despite that, she’s willing to throw all of that away if it means protecting him. Losing him once was enough to shake her entire world, and she loves him too much to not do all she can to keep him safe: and that is where Lizzie’s true strength lies. No matter how afraid she is that he will leave and never look back, as long as Ciel is alive, Lizzie is willing to do anything to keep him happy and safe. She will cover herself in blood, fight the walking dead, and keep her mouth shut on her many questions about his past, if only her precious little world, filled with the people she loves, stays safe.

Debt: The strength to ensure the safety and protection of her fiancé. After facing down a zombie hoard and seeing how he needed her help, she’s terrified of losing him again, so she wants more power to protect him with.

Suitability: Though Lizzie is very accustomed to living a life of wealth and pampering, she isn’t completely blind to the world outside of it. If she enters into the contract willingly, even if she’s under duress, she will try her hardest not to go back on her word. Of course, she’ll likely make a nasty expression whenever the Witch is mentioned, due to a grudge she’ll no doubt hold onto once she’s been made to work, but she’ll still be polite as she can manage. She’ll likely cry and get temperamental when things don’t go her way or she can’t use her status as she’s used to, but she won’t let it stop her from getting creative and continue moving toward her goal.

Inventory:
- Hair ties and a flowered headband.
- A single pair of flat, well-made lady’s shoes.
- A pair of sharp sabers with golden handles.
- A white underdress, normally worn under petticoats and a normal dress, and a set of lady’s Victorian underthings.
-A boy’s jacket, slightly too small for her.

Abilities, Strengths, and Weaknesses: Lizzie is an extremely accomplished fencer, to the point of being called a prodigy by her male peers. She has the strength and agility to defeat dozens of zombies in only minutes with only a pair of sabers, carry a boy only slightly smaller than her with ease, and the ability to jump her way to a chandelier hanging from a tall ceiling and land on the ground from the same height without harming herself. She has no supernatural abilities to speak of, however, and is an ordinary human.

Her main feature, and therefore weakness and strength of personality in one, is her large heart. She does everything in her life with an air bordering on desperation, like she doesn’t have any time left in the world. This makes her emotionally unstable in many ways, and she can be easily manipulated into doing things like keeping quiet when she knows important information, not questioning details she knows are important, or putting herself and those she loves in unneeded danger to protect her loved one’s pride. Her vanity and desire to appear as a beautiful, weak young lady, s is expected of her, often outweighs her good sense, and it often forces her to let chances to protect what she loves slip away.

On the other hand, such a heart makes her easy to befriend, and if you are a friend of Lizzie’s, you are most likely the safest you could ever be with an ordinary human, if someone approaches you with harm in mind. She’s fiercely protective, and she’ll easily shed her cute and sweet demeanor to cut down any attackers with her blades, if she can’t find a way to protect you in another way, either by escape or making someone else fight for her.
