**Elizabeth "Libby" Rhodes** is a member of the Atlas Six (2020–2022 initiation class). She was selected by Atlas Blakely in Manhattan, New York to train and possibly be initiated into the Alexandrian Society. However, this hope was cut short after her abduction.

## Personality

Libby is shy and because of her anxiety, she struggles to be confident unless faced with scenarios that she excels in. Her intelligence is only matched with Nico de Varona’s and was tied with him at the top of their class during their time at NYUMA.

## Appearance

Libby has short brown hair with bangs and grey-green eyes. She’s often seen fidgeting with her bangs, much to the annoyance of others, because of her anxiety. Callum was so annoyed by this that he considered cutting her hair in a way that “she would have to wear it in a ponytail.”

## Relationships

### Ezra Fowler

Ezra and Libby were dating for approximately three years before she broke up with him. Libby had felt he was too controlling and possessive of her and overall found her life with him to be underwhelming. In an attempt to stop Atlas’s plan for the Alexandrian Society, he abducted her and placed her in a ward made of elements that would take Libby an unreasonable amount of energy to even move.

### Nico de Varona

Nico was Libby's academic rival at the New York University of Magical Arts (NYUMA). They share a very strong connection despite their apparent dislike for each other. It is shown that Nico genuinely cares about Libby.

### Tristan Caine

Libby and Tristan have been intertwined ever since Parisa set them up together. After a night together, along with Parisa Kamali, Tristan developed feelings for her while Libby seemed indifferent to him. They had grown close over the first year in the Alexandrian Society's wards, especially when they stopped time, if only briefly, together. While it’s obvious that Tristan is in love with Libby, it is still uncertain if Libby truly shares some of his feelings or not. However, it is implied that she doesn’t completely hate him.

## Trivia

* Libby is left-handed, the opposite of Nico, who's right-handed.
* Libby was born in 1998, making her 22 for part of *The Atlas Six* and 23 for the rest of it. In *The Atlas Paradox*, she is 23 and presumably turns 24 at some point during the book.
* Olivie Blake confirmed that Libby and Nico share a birthday: June 12th.
* According to Nothazai, Libby has the beginnings of a degenerative disease. It is unknown exactly what it is or if it’ll affect her on her own or be passed down to any future children she births.
