Elizabeth Briggs is a character in the TACITUS series. She is depicted as a teenager struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts, though she eventually finds help through a Christian campus minsitry organization known as Campus Crusade.
==Biography==
===Early life and childhood===
Elizabeth had a rather rough childhood. She was born autistic, though her autism was rather slight and barely detectible at times. Her official diagnosis came in high school. She almost died at birth due to abdominal issues with her stomach, which left her without an abdominal wall. This led to her getting picked on in school and bullied for loooking different. To make matters worse, at one point during her early teens, her father, a mechanic, was fired from his job and became an absuive alcoholic. This led to her parents divorcing and Elizabeth, along with her sister Logan, being sent away to live with a family friend named George Wilkerson in New Orleans, Louisiana.
===A different girl===
Moving to New Orleans did nothing to solve the problem, however. The bullying in school grew worse, which soon led to Liz falling under a severe depression. This led to Briggs having feelings of self-hate, which eventually turned to bitterness and anger, and pessimism. At one point, she even began to have thoughts of suicide. Her alcoholic father eventually died of alchohol poisoning, which further damaged her.
===Revival: Operation Holy Spirit===
Elizabeth Briggs is introduced in the story Revival: Operation Holy Spirit as a minor character. She is seen at a restaurant, attempting to commit suicide in a restaurant in front of forty to fifty people, having emotionally "snapped" due to the emotional trauma she'd suffered her whole life. Thankfully, a random witness-former United States Marine Ellie Cohen-happens to be present in the restaurant and successfully thwarts the suicide attempt.
===Life: A Compilation===
Elizabeth is featured again in the short story collection Life: A Compilation. In the short story The Hated, she meets Campus Crusade member Anna Foley, who gives her the Gospel of Jesus Christ in order to give Elizabeth a reason to live and avoid suicide. Elizabeth responds positively to the message, but it is currently unknown whether she ultimately accepts the Gospel or not.
