=== Life ===
Lizzie was born to her unnamed parents in 1899. She had a sister named Charlotte who was two years older than her and three unnamed younger brothers. Lizzie and Charlotte got on well together until Lizzie was fourteen and Charlotte started being more toxic. Lizzie became a scullery maid when she was fifteen and became a house maid two years later. She worked for a family named the Barbertons up until she was twenty two and started work at Carlton Cottage as a mistress’s maid. She quickly became Lady Jane’s favourite of the maids, making Ann and Stacey jealous. She was in the Carltons’s good books and tried to stop Ann from taking bread from the bread basket on several occasions and forced Stacey to put back a necklace she took from Henrietta. Lizzie met Andrew, a young groundsman at Stanley Manor, in 1926 and they fell in love. In 1927, she found out that Mr. Bridgewater, who was the groundsman, was the thief that Mr. Carlton was aware of in the staff. When a garden-boy was accused of the thefts, Lizzie confronted Bridgewater and told him to confess, or at least put back everything he’d stolen so that the boy wouldn’t be hanged. However, Bridgewater freaked out when he realised Lizzie knew what he’d done and accidentally killed her by snapping her neck or strangling her. When her body was found, Mr. Bridgewater said that she’d just come to ask for his help disposing of some stolen goods and that she was actually the thief. Lady Jane did not believe it, but the constable took Lizzie’ body away it was buried in an unmarked grave because she was posthumously found guilty of the theft. However, Bridgewater was also arrested for killing her and was hanged. Her lover Andrew had been planning on proposing to after she finished work that day, but never got the chance. Andrew dropped the engagement ring when the police dragged him away for questioning and it was trampled into the earth in the woods in Carlton Cottage’s grounds.

As a ghost, Lizzie isn’t too outspoken, but still stands up for what she believes in. She is friends with Jennifer and John. Her ghost power is that, possibly because of how much she wanted to be noticed in life, she has a reflection in mirrors, windows, and other glass. Lizzie hates Judge Custard and Calvin because of how brash and happy-go-lucky they are. Lizzie
