» OVERALL: Lisbeth is an obsessive tourist, travelling as far away from her hometown of San Antonio, Texas. Though tourist is not the word to describe her,since she has run away from home,with her best-friend Chloe 'Lo' Nicole Sanchez. There are too many reasons to list, but the major ones involve an uncomfortable relationship, a conservative family background and the pressure that comes with everyone's expectations. She finds herself in Manhattan, and begins to take in the sites and sounds of a place where it is so easy to be who you are,and to blend in,and not be haunted constantly by your past.

» SECRETS:
Lisbeth has been in an abusive relationship- No one but her best friend, Chloe knows of this. Since she is estranged from her parents,she didn't bother keeping in touch and letting them know. Her boyfriend of 2 years, Darren was abusive and demanding,and when Lis finally cracked and retaliated with an attack in self-defense, she had to flee for fear of being trapped again.

She wishes that she could finally find a reason to stop traveling This is a secret because she enjoys traveling,but traveling to her,is running away,and that is something she wants to stop. She's just waiting for the right reason.

Lisbeth has been living with a secret obsession,possibly an indication of OCD but no one knows this because it is not apparent,and Lis does not like coming across as weak.

» GOALS:
To finally escape her past.
To find a fulfilling profession so she can feel some self-worth.
To perhaps return to her parents one day,powerful enough to face them,and tell them they were wrong.Also, get her schizophrenic brother MacKenzie out of that environment.

» OVERALL PERSONALITY: Lisbeth was never popular at school,and it never really bothered her.She was not a cheerleader, or exceptionally rich,or notorious. To say the least, Lis was,and still is,her own person,not quite blending in,but not standing out either,
She isn't outgoing,and tends to be judgmental, but considering her past experiences,that is justified. Clear-headed and artistic,Lis does not follow, but does not expect anyone to follow her either. She spends her time in art,literature and long walks, enjoying the freedom that thinking and interpretation gives her.

She has not given up on love,but she wants to find love for the right reasons,and not merely because she's needy. Her tendency to judge people and seem distant is not her most endearing quality,but there's more to her if you earn her trust. Her clear-headedness and rational approach (ironically,to everything except her way of coping) are admirable qualities. Overall,Lisbeth is a good person,as Chloe would affirm.

» HISTORY:
Lisbeth, born 'Elisabeth Annette'' has never really known popularity or admiration. She grew up in a family with strict norms and rules- 'no extra-curriculars,no thinking outside the box,no questioning of rules'. If you thought her surname gave away her family's orientation,you couldn't be more off mark. Her father was a lawyer by profession and a stringent Catholic. Raised in San Antonio,Texas- Elisabeth didn't exactly have a relaxed childhood. With three older siblings,Derrick (32) , Alexandria(26) and Katherine ,who she was always pressurised into looking up to, Lis was never truly happy. Derrick,is a stock broker and Alexandria and Katherine are married to influential businessmen. Her life was mapped out like that too. Get an education,get married,have children and blend in. As a result,Lis was resigned to her 'fate' and never tried at school.The only exception was her younger brother MacKenzie,who attempted to defy his upbringing and ran away from home,only to return months later when he was diagnosed with Schizophrenia.

This changed Lis' submissiveness. She went from being the girl who was a victim of her fate,to one who was now questioning it.All through school,she only had one best friend, Chloe,who she confided in completely;and when she finally started a relationship,it was for all the wrong reasons. Not because she was in love with Darren,but because she was desperate for attention and wanted to rebel against everything she'd been subjected to since her childhood.

When the truth finally hit her,she retaliated and escaped from everything- an abusive relationship,an unsupportive family and a hoard of unwanted experiences. She changed her name to Lisbeth and her middle name to Ellie, as a reminder of her past. Lis escaped at age 20, leaving behind the familiarity of her neighbourhood in San Antonio, for other places. Alabama first, then Ohio,Indiana,Michigan,Virginia,Washington D.C,and finally Manhattan,and then-who knows where?

A year after her 'escape', Lisbeth was joined by her best friend Chloe, who had herself escaped from a wedding that would have turned her life upside down. The two moved to Manhattan as tourists,to be politically correct,and have yet to tire of the place. They can only hope that the other side of the country holds more promise than their hometown in Texas. Her parents have not been able to track her down,and Lis has not bothered herself. She does want to sort things out one day;and knows that confrontation is inevitable and her only way of getting closure of some sort. But she is not prepared,just yet.

» RP SAMPLE:

Clocks were Chrysta’s least favourite object. Why were they invented-couldn’t people decide for themselves what time it was? Maybe they helped out muggles,but what was the logical reason to incorporate them into the Wizarding world? Who cared what time it was,if you could control time to your liking anyway?
She was lounging- for want of a better word; on the sofa, trying not to think too much about what was going to happen. Truth be told,twenty-four hours had sounded like a lot of time yesterday, but they’d flown by rapidly- showing absolutely no mercy to the woman whose life could be defined by their very passing. It was unbelievable that only twenty eight hours ago, she’d been doing the most boring thing in the world- spring cleaning, and now, like Spring Cleaning, she’d have to decide what part of her life to keep,and what part to throw away.
::You’re overthinking this:: A part of her told her, but she ignored it. She wasn’t overthinking. Come what may, she was going to have to lie today- she just had to decide which one was the lesser of the two. There was no third option. The truth would only make matters worse, and possibly cost her her job and her freedom.
She had contemplated pulling a fast one and disappearing, or pretending to be sick and not answering him at all; but he’d trusted her to give him an answer, and she owed that much to him.
Niall Finley was a man of few words,and a lot of boundaries.She knew him well enough to know that he did not compromise. It was a ‘This or That’ case with him. So she’d have to tell him some part of the truth. She could just not say anything,but considering his profession, he was sure to find out, and well- she preferred he hear it from her than from anyone else.
Then there was the whole thing about whether she loved him or not.It hadn’t taken long to figure out that maybe she did.They’d known each other for six years now and she was sure there was some feeling somewhere.Anyway,that was what her heart had told her,and Chrysta almost always used her heart over her head.
At this point, her heart also told her that a half-truth was acceptable, and that she was going to have to look for a way to make sure he never did find out.
The clock on the wall chimed-her time was up.
She steeled herself ,waiting for her visitor
