## Backstory

Elizabeth "Litzy" Louise Bloom was born in Belgravia, London, in the mid-2000s to two English parents. Her parents are bakers with a chain of patisseries across the UK called "Bloom's", specialising in artisan cakes and macarons. Litzy grew up with it drilled into her head that she would take over the family business, as none of her siblings wanted to. However, while Litzy loves to eat the treats, she has almost no interest in being a baker herself. Litzy has been a pushover most of her life and specifically went to Lavender Moon Arts to take designer baking and artisan cookery to please her parents. In actuality, Litzy dreams of becoming a world-renowned fashion designer for pop stars.

Her one dream is to open a boutique in Paris one day or see her garments on a famous pop star, but she doubts she'll ever get the chance to keep the family business in the family.

Due to her wealthy upstanding, Litzy was put on the waiting list for Lavander Moon Arts the day she was born, both her parents being successful alumni in the subjects she chose.

Growing up, Litzy was always aware of Lavander Moon Arts as her final university destination. While her parents were sometimes away in Paris baking for events, Litzy stayed with her grandmother, who lives in the neighbouring village outside Lavender Moon Arts, Glastonbury. She would often see university students playing in the famous Glastonbury festival or on the streets, all playing songs she'd never heard before.

Litzy is very aware of everything that goes on in the town and its events, thanks to her years of staying with her grandmother, going to local summer camps and town clubs. When Litzy was six, she made friends with her grandmother's neighbour's children, Joy and Jack. Litzy went to summer camps with them every year and became particularly close with Joy, who inspired her to love music and playing the guitar. However, the summer before they were supposed to go into secondary school, Litzy and Joy vowed never to speak again after a falling out Litzy can't quite remember the reason. When Litzy first saw Joy again when she joined Urania's Mirror, Litzy almost buckled from the amount of awkwardness.

Back at home, Litzy feels like an only child, despite being the youngest of six. Her siblings are a lot older and have flown the nest to pursue their dreams, leaving Litzy with the pressure of taking on the family business. Nevertheless, Litzy continues to work hard to maintain her high grades, perform with Urania's Mirror, practice baking, and pursue her fashion designer dreams. Litzy can often be found taking power naps on breaks as a result.

When with Urania's Mirror, Litzy learns it's okay to say no, and pursue your own dreams. She even enjoys letting off steam in singing, playing the guitar and performing, thrilled to have another extracurricular activity to add to her long list of achievements. Litzy is just happy it lets her explore her cutesy idol aesthetic and write down who she really wants to be into songs.

## Personality

Litzy aims to come across as a cordial and helpful person, stemming from her ever-growing need to be liked by others. She tends to be a bit of a people pleaser, hating the thought of disappointing those around her. Litzy detests saying no and vows to keep a constant smile on her face no matter how fatigued or stressed out she may feel, a habit she picked up working young.

Growing up around such wonderful sweet treats, she had to watch what she ate. Litzy took it upon herself to take Pilates and dance at the age of 14 and even came up with alternative vegan options for the bakery, much to the pleasure of her parents.

Litzy adores listening to her friend Bunni talk, enjoying the contrast between herself and Bunni's red-hot temperament and her incredible ability not to care what other people think. This sometimes results in Bunni having to speak up for her when she's being pushed around and taken advantage of by others, making a mockery. Nevertheless, Litzy often still takes on their problems, being a hard worker and determined to get things done right away.

Notwithstanding being very sweet and admirable, she has a surprisingly competitive side and will do whatever it takes to win in games, especially against her best friend, Bunni.

She tends to get a little anxious whenever required to talk to Joy, avoiding her, afraid confrontation.

Litzy is the mother figure in Urania's Mirror, many people coming to her for advice and attention, which she is more than happy to provide to her friends.

## Physical Description

18-year-old Litzy Bloom has waist-length deep brown hair with puppy-like pigtails sprouting from the top of her head, which she ties up with an array of cute pink accessories. Litzy has sweet chocolate brown eyes, often looking very focused and has fluffy, dark full eyebrows.

She carries the air of a caring mother figure standing at 165cm or just under 5'5 feet tall but loves to wear platformed school shoes giving the illusion that she's taller. Her skin tone is creamy, with flushed cheeks.

She prides herself on her fashion sense, whether she is wearing her uniform or something more fun. Litzy is constantly altering parts of her and Bunni's uniforms to give them a more fashionable look. Litzy usually wears a thick cream coloured cardigan over the top of the modified uniform during the autumn and winter. She loves classic lolita and Japanese street fashion styles, thrifting and collecting garments from antique stores to reconstruct and make her own.
