## Throughout Legacies Series

In *This is the Part Where You Run*, Lizzie is first seen with her sister introducing themselves to Rafael Waithe. As Josie says goodmorning to Hope, Lizzie calls her "despair." Lizzie is then seen with Rafael inside of the school as they watch the Chemistry of Magic class.

Lizzie is seen outside with Rafael as she tells him about a game that her parents came up with called "Wickery" which was invented when she was ten. As she sets down, she apologizes to Rafael about his girlfriend. She then says the guys like Rafael make her nervous, which freaks him out. When Rafael says he doesn't want anything to do with Lizzie, it hurts her feelings.

Lizzie is in the kitchen having an "episode". She is screaming and using her magic to destroy items in the kitchen. She uses her magic to send knives flying until she realizes that Alaric has walked in. When Alaric almost calls her full name until she cries and says "hi, daddy" and he smiles at her and says "hi, baby".

During the nighttime, Alaric is helping Lizzie to calm herself down. Lizzie believes that she is broken, but Alaric says she's not and that she has a darkness, that she needs to overcome. They are interrupted by Hope, who says she needs to "let out". Alaric tells her to stay away from the mill house, because the "heathens" are throwing a party that he's about to crash.

Lizzie then gets upset that she's missing a party, and she tells Alaric that he's been spending to much time with Hope. Alaric tells Lizzie she should try and become friends with Hope, and Lizzie says that she already tried.

Lizzie is last seen with Josie in their bed, as Josie tells Lizzie that MG was with Penelope Park, which makes Lizzie sick.

In *Some People Just Want To Watch The World Burn*, Josie and Lizzie along with other students of the Salvatore school play in a charity flag football game against the Mystic Falls High team. The Salvatore team is losing until Kaleb suggests that the players use their powers to win and the majority of the team agrees. They are winning until Josie insists that they purposely lose the game so the townspeople do not suspect that they have supernatural abilities. Penelope then suggests that the team win without their abilities and Lizzie agrees that it is a good idea. The team nearly wins until Josie casts a spell to ensure that Kaleb does not catch the football. After the game Dana insults Josie and Lizzie punches her in the face, this starts a riot between the two schools. Later that day Josie reveals that she and Hope cast a dark magic spell to find Landon and Lizzie calls it betrayal to their sisterhood. She then makes Josie promise that she will not keep any more secrets, to which she agrees.

In *We're Being Punked, Pedro*, Alaric makes all the members of the flag football do community service as a punishment for the riot. While washing graffiti off of a window with Kaleb and MG, members of the Mystic Falls High School team approach them and one of them throws a milkshake on Lizzie. She then storms off back to school, she finds her father and suggests that everything that has happened was his fault and that if he had not been gone with Hope she never would have started the riot. She then leaves and rants to Pedro about her father keeping secrets but the two are attacked by a living Gargoyle. Lizzie and Pedro run away and Lizzie siphons some of Pedro’s magic to cast a containment spell to keep the Gargoyle on the schools grounds. However it scratches and infects her with a paralyzing poison. Alaric and Emma find her and round up the students into a safe space. Emma then casts an invisibility spell so the Gargoyle will not see them. Hope and Josie then defeat the Gargoyle and Lizzie is healed. She is later seen with Josie and MG gives her a plate of brownies because he knows they are her favorite.

## Personality

Given both her sinister lineage and the questionable biology that accompanies it, Lizzie possess the power to render great harm unto the world if her behavior continues to go unchecked. She shows signs of mood swings, self-absorption, and over-possessiveness. It's ultimately Lizzie's attachment to the superficial that will prevent her from doing the introspection necessary to avert breakdown clearly on the horizon.

Lizzie is obsessed with creating the perfect image - a testament to the complete lack of control she's experiencing inside.

Lizzie must address her image-control issues and accept she's overcompensating for her mental disorder. Otherwise, her image will continue to control her, inevitably pushing her to a psychotic break. Lizzie must also establish an identity not in relation to Josie.
