> "Remember that shock bracelet Lizzie had? Or when she was suddenly into talent shows and Miss Mystic Falls and football? She was always trying to start over. And, yeah, she could be extra, but she knew it. And she never stopped trying to change. But did you all let her? Or did you hold onto one image of her at her worst? She was an easy target who couldn't control her brain chemistry. So it was easier to think that she was broken than to root for her and accept that she was changing. If you really stop and think, I'm sure you have a good Lizzie story, too. Here's your chance. Start over."

During the election results, she is happy that Rafael is elected representative of the werewolf, already imagining forming a powerful couple but very quickly disappointed because she didn't win. Back in her bedroom, she tries to calm down, Josie tries to console her and offers the idea to withdraw from the honor council so that they take the second elected but she already had this idea and answers that this is not possible because it wasn't the second either. At the gymnasium as she knocks against a punching bag, Penelope comes to see her, Lizzie ask why she hates her so much, Penelope tells her that it has nothing to do with her, but about how she treats Josie, pointing out to everything her sister does for her and that in return Lizzie does nothing.

It's at the moment when they start to dance that Rafael arrives and apologizes for his delay, she forgives him and continues the dance with him.

In *There's a World Where Your Dreams Came True*, Lizzie returns home, but she is upset at her father for not getting the updated itinerary since it's due to him not seeing it. She returned earlier and had to take a 3-hour shuttle ride. Hope tells Lizzie that everyone was under a lot of stress dealing with the previous threat, but that doesn't calm Lizzie. Upset, Lizzie goes to her room and meets a jinni. Lizzie sees this as an opportunity and makes her first wish for Hope to not be a pupil, allowing Alaric to focus more on his daughters; however, because of this wish, the school is struggling financially. This reality comes to an end when Hope is found and urged to think about enrolling in the school. Lizzie then wishes that her parents never found the boarding school. She is then transported to a universe where she is in public school, and things are not perfect for the rest of Lizzie's family while she is the school pariah. She exposes her magic after getting into a fight with Josie and is taken to the Mikaelson Boarding School that was founded by Klaus for his daughter, but Lizzie feels as if she is back at square one, causing her to inadvertently wish for an apocalyptic reality where supernaturals are hunted. Josie was accidentally killed by Lizzie after they learned about the Merge, and Hope was never born. Realizing the magnitude of her mistake, Lizzie then attempts to take back all of her wishes by wishing that Ablah never went to Malivore. Ablah, before returning, tells Lizzie tells that without her memories and growth as a person, Josie will still end up dead by Lizzie's hands. Ablah states that this will perhaps happen directly by Lizzie's hands or as a result of the merge. Although Lizzie pleads with Ablah to keep her memories and growth, Ablah returns Lizzie to the moment before her first wish, ultimately erasing Lizzie's memories of the events. After the sudden urge to hug Josie, Lizzie goes to apologize to her dad who tells her contrary what she believes that he always has time for her and Josie; however, Lizzie still feels something's amiss but cannot figure it out.

In *We're Gonna Need A Spotlight*, Lizzie and Josie return to the Salvatore school from traveling in Europe with Caroline. Lizzie reiterates Caroline's words about being airy clouds floating high above a turbulent sea of drama. They won't be triggered by seeing ex-boyfriends, nor be ones to make out with ex-girlfriends. Thanks to Caroline, Lizzie has her silver lining and a fresh, new perspective. Josie states they are the Saltzman Twins 2.0. They greet Hope, Landon, and Rafael. Josie welcomes back Landon but he questions that she voted him out. Lizzie admits that's all in the past and asks if they're as excited as she is for the school's annual talent show. However, with the arrival of a new "monster", Alaric postpones the show due to the monster's potential danger. Hope, however, lets it slip that the monster that Alaric speaks about is in fact a unicorn.

She and Josie confront Alaric, questions if this dangerous monster is just a magical pony. Upset, begins to berate her father over his manipulative ploy, however, she quickly corrects herself, believing that this matter is for the honor council. Alaric agrees that they can bring it up at next months meeting, but Josie chimes in, wanting to convene an emergency session and knew how they were going to vote. Lizzie then announces that the show was going on as previously scheduled.

As the day progresses, Lizzie and the witches prepare for the talent show. As she instructs them on choreography, they mess up and bump into one another. She criticizes them on not practicing and even points out that their outfits must have shrunk. She continues to berate them but abruptly stops, citing that it's fine, they will adjust to the changes. As they begin the routine again, she questions where's Josie. Josie, with a smoothie in hand, enters the stage, wondering if she's late. Lizzie asks where the canes were, but she doesn't know. She was going to go find them but didn't feel like stressing about it. Lizzie admits that it's fine and asks her to take her usual place. Josie disagrees. She doesn't want to be in the back row and in fact, they should scrap their "lame" routine; do something completely different. Lizzie, being nice, doesn't want to change because it's what they win with every year. Josie wants to sign her own song and everyone could contribute to the choreography - it would be a real collaboration. She asks Lizzie if it sounds nice; Lizzie stifles an agreeing smile.

With the talent show underway and the witches making last-minute preparations, Hope and Landon confront the mind-controlled students. Hope having contained them, temporarily, with a spell and Dorian finds chains to further bar the doors. Lizzie confronts them, questioning why they weren't with the other students. Hope and Landon chain her up instead and question her. They claim that she's been infected with a mind-controlling parasite and that is the reason why she's been so nice all day. Lizzie disagrees and Landon examines her, not finding any slug trails. Lizzie demands to be unchained and calls them freaks, but is immediately shocked. She asks to be unchained and she'll tell them. Lizzie explains that she is turning over a new leaf, that she spelled a bracelet to zap her with increasing voltage whenever she said anything mean. She's been zapping herself all day which is why there's no slug in her. Hope wonders why she was wandering around the halls of the school instead of being at the talent show. Lizzie, however, was looking for Josie who was acting weird and eventually bailed on the performance. They unchain Lizzie and devise a plan. Landon assists Alaric, Dorian, and Emma, while she and Hope look for Josie.

Hope confronts Josie and Penelope at the abandoned mill. Penelope raises her hands to attack with a spell, but Hope is quicker. She throws Penelope against the banister, knocking her out and Josie begins to form a fireball but Lizzie grabs her arms and siphons the magic from her. She tells Josie to stop, that it isn't her. Josie retaliates, claiming that Lizzie doesn't know the *real* her. Lizzie wants her to answer one question while saying how she really feels. She asks her if she's a good sister. Josie answers truthfully; she's a terrible sister. Having not noticed that Lizzie slipped her bracelet on to her wrist, Josie is violently shocked, expelling the slug from her. Lizzie embraces her sister, who apologies for what she had said and done.

With the students freed from the mind-controlling parasite, the talent show is allowed a second chance - a redo. As the witches prepare for their number, Lizzie confronts Josie and the witches. She wants them to grab a cane and new choreography. Josie's relieved that she's not signing, but Lizzie tells her that she is; the slugs revealed her uninhibited self and the spotlight is officially hers. Josie makes her way center stage and signs while, Lizzie, Penelope and the other witches provide backup choreography.

With the talent show over, Lizzie, Josie, and Alaric talk. Lizzie admits that she tortured herself trying so hard to be nice, and all it got her was a headache and everyone thinking that she was infected. She believes that they don't think that she can change and they'll just assume she'll be mean. She comes to the conclusion that she should be what they want her to be. Alaric believes that to be reductive, but Lizzie believes that it suits her. She thanks her father for the perfect talk, kisses him on the cheek, and leaves.

In *There's a Mummy on Main Street*, Lizzie is part of the group that leave the Salvatore School to find the missing urn. She and Josie get into conflict with Hope, which eventually ruins the mood of the road trip. They must work together, however to fix their father's mistakes and find the urn before it gets into the wrong hands. They are unsuccessful in this prospect, however.

In *Let's Just Finish the Dance*, Lizzie is ecstatic about the prospect of the chance to win Miss Mystic Falls. She has been planning for her opportunity since her childhood, fueled by her aspiration to win given her mother, Caroline, also won. When she realizes that one of the judges is Dana's mother, however, Lizzie realizes that she has a slim chance to win the competition and much to Josie's dismay, she passes the baton to Hope — this causes a rift between Josie and Lizzie, which Penelope Park exploits to draw a rift between the two.

Lizzie updates Josie on her role in the competition, including that she must fall down the stairs, knocking out one of the opponents in the race. When Penelope finds out, she tries to convince Josie that she can win the pageant and that Lizzie doesn't respect her. Eventually, Josie goes along with the plan, however, when she finds out that Penelope is leaving, and that Lizzie knew about the Merge, she confronts her. The two get into a heated debate in which rifts are drawn between the two, but more importantly, Josie reveals the origin of the dress Hope is wearing. Hope overhears this through Roman and breaks down on the dance floor. Lizzie apologizes to Hope for the ordeal, citing that she did not know the origin of the dress.

In *I'll Tell You a Story*, Lizzie is trying to apologize to Josie with cakes. She enlists Hope's help, in return, Lizzie offers Hope Emma Tig's prism; a prism capable of manifesting one's subconscious. Lizzie eventually tries to talk with Josie, offering her savory snacks and a book about the history of the Gemini Coven — a topic Josie has been extensively researching. Josie declines her offer of peace, however, and the two remain at one another's throats.

Later, the power struggle between the two climaxes and the two physically fight with magic. This ends in Josie overpowering Lizzie and throwing her across the room, a feat she later becomes ashamed of, but also that convinces Lizzie that she will lose the Merge. Alaric later tells the twins about the Merge after Hope pressures him.

In *There's Always a Loophole*, Lizzie and Josie are still mad at each other over what happened previously at the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant. When Triad Industries take over the school, Lizzie hides in Alaric's office with Josie and Hope. When Burr attempts to shoot Lizzie, Josie jumps in front, however, and is shot by a bullet forged from Malivore.

Lizzie and Josie eventually settle their differences with the prospect of Josie's life being on the line. Josie tells Lizzie that her death is one way to ensure the Merge does not go ahead, however Lizzie remarks that the situation is meant to be different. Lizzie becomes bereft when she realizes that she cannot siphon the magic from the bullet, but is happy when Hope's blood is revealed as the cure for the bullet. The two sit together at their father's address when he reveals that he will be putting his position at the school to the vote of the students.

In *I'll Never Give Up Hope*, Lizzie is still traveling with her mother, but talks frequently with Josie using magic. Lizzie is concerned and asked how their father is doing given he has lost his position as headmaster. She tells Josie that she has learned of a magical object, the ascendant but does not know much about it, other than it could perhaps have something to do with the Merge. Lizzie pleads with Josie to join her on the trip, but she declines.

At the end of the night, Josie tells Lizzie that she has learned some information about the ascendant. She tells Lizzie that they have a crazy uncle, and that he killed Jo on her wedding day. With this, the two promise to leave the situation with the ascendant alone.

In *This Year Will Be Different*, Lizzie has returned from summer break and is embracing a year of opportunities. Kaleb overhears this and sees it as an opportunity to get MG and Lizzie together. MG later asks Lizzie out, and she reluctantly says yes to a "study-date" at the Old Mill. When she arrives at the Old Mill, she finds that she has been stood up by MG, but bumps into a mysterious newcomer, Sebastian. She feels a connection immediately, despite not knowing who or what he is. He warns her to stay away as he is afraid he will hurt her. MG arrives not longer after, apologizing for his punctuality but he was hold up with Alaric. Lizzie says that it is fine, but is clearly preoccupied with what has just happened.

Despite telling her to stay away, she uses a locator spell to track Sebastian, who arrives as the result proves inconclusive. He realizes that she is a witch, and again warns her to stay away as he is dangerous, however she seems infatuated with him. She later tells MG that the two of them are not a good match as she is interested in someone else — but does not reveal this to be Sebastian. She thanks MG for being a good friend, but does not realize that she has broken his heart.

In *You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know*, Lizzie is pondering over what species Sebastian could possibly be, and if he could possibly be another monster sent from Malivore. She is approached by MG, who invites her to the annual football game against Mystic Falls High School on the premise that he could help her search using him vampiric abilities. She reluctantly agrees to attend the match despite not being chosen as quarterback.

On the football pitch, she does not involve herself much in the game, instead looks through books at potential supernatural species that Sebastian could be attributed to. However when she notices Sebastian watching the game from afar, she involves herself in the game, wanting to show off in front of him. He leaves the game shortly after, however and she follows in pursuit. She follows him to the basement of the Salvatore School, where he warns her to keep away from him. She questions what he is, and he reveals that he is a vampire, much to her relief. Sebastian is surprised that she finds this relieving, however she admits that her best friends are vampires and therefore this will pose no barrier to the two being together romantically. They begin to kiss, which is witnessed by MG from afar, however MG is unable to perceive Sebastian and it appears that Lizzie is kissing the air.

In *Since When Do You Speak Japanese?*, Lizzie meets with Sebastian for their date behind the Salvatore School near the lake. The two talk, and Sebastian tells Lizzie that he wants the two to be closer. The date is disturbed by MG, when he staggers whilst recording the two from a distance. MG shows Lizzie the video he has captured, proving that Sebastian cannot be seen by anyone else and is a figment of her imagination — a fact later proven to be false. Lizzie is distraught and heartbroken by this and tells MG that the two of them are no longer friends, she further tells him that he no longer exists to her.

Lizzie attempts to drown her sorrows in ice cream in the Town Square, when she notices Landon passing with Kurutta's Sword. She calls out to Landon, but he is unresponsive, which alerts her to the fact that he is possessed by the oni. She takes Kurutta's sword from Landon and stabs him with it, killing Landon but taking the oni into herself.

Hope and Josie arrive not long after to find Lizzie has chained herself to a tree to trap the oni. She reveals to the two, in an emotional moment of weakness, that Sebastian is not real and she is broken. Despite her attempts to piece herself back together, she believes herself to be truly un-fixable. With this, she begs Josie to kill her, and indirectly the oni, with Kurutta's sword. However Josie refuses, instead siphoning the magic from the sword and using it to pull the oni from Lizzie.

Following this, Lizzie wakes up in the middle of the night after numerous dreams about Hope. She jolts awake exclaiming the name "Hope Andrea Mikaelson", having regained her memories perhaps due to the blast of dark magic from Josie. This makes her the only person at this moment to actually remember Hope.

In *Screw Endgame*, Lizzie confronts Hope after remembering who she is, questioning why she didn't tell anyone. Before Hope can answer, however, the Keeper arrives, welcoming the two to "the game". They are at first unaware of the meaning of the statement, but eventually realize they have been placed into a game when the two die crossing the road, but are resurrected.

The Keeper reveals to the two that the only way for the two to leave the game is if one of them takes her place — becoming trapped in the game — whilst the other is set free. Both refuse to take her place, and are chased by the minatour. They eventually evade him, and they talk about why Hope isn't revealing herself to the world. Hope believes herself to be better off forgotten, however Lizzie remarks that it isn't true. They stop for a rest, and Lizzie tells Hope that if she remains in the game, she may not have to merge with Josie. With this, she knocks Hope out with a log and goes to see the Keeper.

Talking with the Keeper, it becomes apparent that Hope would not survive should Lizzie take the Keepers place. Given this, when the Keeper hands over her bracelet — which is also the only thing protecting her from the minatour — Lizzie smashes it to pieces, remarking that nobody should have to make that decision. Hope and Lizzie eventually kill the minatour, which returns them, and the Keeper, to reality. They watch as Josie and Landon leave the 80s Decade Dance to have sex, however Hope tells Lizzie to let them leave, as the two are good together.

In *That's Nothing I Had to Remember*, Lizzie hangs out with Landon to protect him from the croatoan, the new monster terrorizing Mystic Falls. She tries not to reveal Hope's secret, however things are difficult, especially when Landon reveals that he and Josie did not have sex. She makes Landon talk about Star Wars to take her mind off telling him about his past with Hope.

Later, Landon and Lizzie are faced directly by the croatoan, who they believe is coming for Landon. It is eventually revealed that the croatoan is actually after those who keep the most secrets, therefore is after Lizzie. Lizzie calls MG (who is with Sebastian), to ask about killing the croatoan. They come up inconclusive at first, until Josie blasts everyone with dark magic, returning their memories. Sebastian is then able to help kill the monster, given his past experiences with it.

At the end of the day, when all of the chaos dies down, Lizzie tries to comfort Josie about Landon and what decision he will possibly make about their future. MG enters with Sebastian, and Lizzie thinks that she is having another episode, however Josie reveals that she too can see Sebastian, who is revealed to be real.

In *It Will All Be Painfully Clear Soon Enough*, Lizzie is part of formulating the plan to sacrifice Simulandon to the sphinx instead of the real Landon. The plan effectively fails, however, much to Lizzie's dismay, as the sphinx reveals he is not interested in Landon. Lizzie questions why the sphinx is in Mystic Falls, but instead of giving her, he instead gives her a long and complex riddle to decipher. She eventually relays this riddle to Alaric and Dorian, who are able to figure it out.

In *This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent*, Hope asks Lizzie to go on a road trip to find Landon and bring him back to the school. She reluctantly agrees, and takes Sebastian with her. It is on the trip that it is revealed that she created him a daylight ring.

After leaving him by the roadside, Sebastian catches back up with her after she pleads with Landon to return to the school. When Sebastian finishes changing her car tire, he takes off his shirt. Lizzie tells him to put it back on, but ends up kissing him nonetheless. The two end up having sex, and after it, Sebastian tells her that he'd like to stay at the school as it is the only thing he has.

In *I Couldn't Have Done This Without You*, Lizzie struggles with Sebastian's introduction to the Salvatore School. She tells MG that the two cannot stop sleeping together and have had sex at multiple locations across the school. To remedy this, she sits with MG and reads comics, however when he realizes she is using him, he feels offended and leaves.

Later after an encounter with Alyssa, Sebastian grows annoyed and leaves the school to attack a nearby runner. Alaric stops him, and offers him a second chance, however Sebastian uses this as an opportunity to mock Alaric, citing that Lizzie will never be safe as long as he is alive. Alaric grows increasingly angry with Sebastian, however it is not revealed if he harms him.

Lizzie visits Alaric's office — whilst he is cleaning his arrow — and asks about Sebastian. Instead of telling Lizzie the truth, he tells her that Sebastian couldn't follow the rules and chose to leave the school. This upsets Lizzie, and she breaks down crying.

In *This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies*, Lizzie helps Josie and Alaric as they attempt to slow down the degradation of the mora miserium. It becomes clear that magic is not the answer, and Lizzie suggests sending the sand clock to the Prison World — a place in which magic cannot escape. Alaric shuts her down, however, citing that he will fix the issue. When Alaric leaves, Lizzie and Josie talk about their father's reaction, and Josie tells Lizzie that he won't allow them anywhere near Kai.

Later in the day, after a conversation with Sheriff Mac, Alaric realizes that he must trust his daughters more, and agrees to allow them to create a *new* Prison World and send the mora miserium there. Lizzie and Josie spearhead the effort and are assisted by the witches of the Salvatore School. They are successful in sending the sand clock away, however due to a plan enacted by Alyssa Chang, Lizzie, Josie and Alaric are transported to the Prison World too. Whilst there, she finds out that Sebastian too has been sent here, and Alaric lied about his whereabouts.

In *Kai Parker Screwed Us*, Lizzie is visibly furious over Alaric's treatment of Sebastian and questions why he sent Sebastian away and lied. Alaric reveals that Sebastian refused to follow the rules, and Lizzie realizes that sending Sebastian away was the reason Emma Tig returned to the Salvatore School. Lizzie is convinced to explore the Prison World with Sebastian, despite being reluctant at first.

Lizzie later dances with Sebastian in a large mansion, and the two enjoy a pseudo-fantasy day together. Lizzie tells Sebastian that she doesn't want the day to end, and Sebastian reveals that it doesn't have to. Lizzie believes that they can convince Alaric that Sebastian isn't a threat, however Sebastian reveals that he doesn't want to return to the modern world, but to remain in the peaceful Prison World forever. Sebastian suggests that he turn Lizzie into a vampire so that the two of them can be youthful and live together forever.

Lizzie doesn't take the suggestion well, and tells Sebastian that whilst she has thought about becoming a vampire before, she doesn't know what the future holds and doesn't want to lose the ability to have children or start a family. Sebastian tells her that she doesn't have a choice, however and has laced her wine with blood — similar to how Mikael had turned his children into the first vampires over a thousand years prior. Startled and afraid, Lizzie runs, however she is no match for Sebastian's speed, and he manages to catch her. He tells her that he doesn't want to lose her again, and accidentally calls her Cassandra, which she does not take lightly. When the two kiss, she siphons him and he desiccates.

In *You Can't Save Them All*, Lizzie is rushed to the hospital following blacking out at the wheel whilst driving. She has a large abdominal injury, and is losing blood fast. In order to save her, Alaric trusts Jade — an experienced EMT — to talk him through the steps to stop the bleeding. They are successful, and Lizzie's condition becomes stable.

When Lizzie is well enough, Josie reveals that she is now powerful enough to open multiple doors out of the Prison World and back to Mystic Falls. Lizzie begs her father not to remain behind as the anchor, however he dismisses her and remarks that he knows they'll find a way to free him. Sebastian arrives shortly after Lizzie has returned home and volunteers himself to be the anchor, allowing Alaric and Josie to return home.

When everyone is back, Lizzie astral projects to the Prison World and tells Sebastian to jump into the Malivore pit, given the Prison World is unstable and is folding in on itself. He dismisses her, however, simply citing that he believes he would've liked it in the Prison World, and Lizzie leaves. She is later seen with the ascendant as it fractures, signalling that the Prison World is no longer.

In *There's A Place Where The Lost Things Go*, Lizzie is a part of Emma's simulation. Inside the simulation she plays the role of a small-town actress who is unpopular. Josie arranges an attempt on her life in order to gauge the interest of the press. Lizzie eventually escapes the simulation with the help of Hope.

In *Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself*, Lizzie and Hope discuss Josie's behaviour, with Lizzie remarking that Josie really is in trouble. Josie interrupts the conversation and tells the two that her and Lizzie will Merge later that night. Lizzie is confused and worried about the prospect of losing the Merge, however Hope remarks that she will aid her in preparation.

Hope tells Lizzie that she has a plan, however it relies on her winning the Merge. Hope surmises that she can place Josie within Lizzie's mind until she can be returned to normal. Lizzie is still concerned and tells Hope and MG that she needs to consult someone over her mental strength. Lizzie asks Alyssa if she can win the Merge, however Alyssa tells her that she is unlikely to win. Alyssa is unable to provide further insight, however, and is murdered by Josie. In fears of facing the same fate, Lizzie fleas the Salvatore School.

She is eventually approached by MG who tells her that he is willing to run away with her. The two talk, and it becomes clear that MG has actually been sent by Hope to convince Lizzie to return to the Salvatore School; Lizzie eventually agrees despite initial reluctance.

Confronting Josie, Lizzie prepares to Merge and when MG tells her to siphon him for extra power, she kisses him much to his surprise. Lizzie and Josie successfully Merge but Lizzie loses as she predicted. She is surprised to find herself still alive, however, when it is revealed that Hope linked her life force to Landon's in a bid to save her. In order to keep up their story—and allow Hope's plan to succeed, however—Lizzie must remain dead to the public.

In *Facing Darkness is Kinda My Thing*, Lizzie masquerades as Hope in a bid to plan her own funeral, despite initial reluctance from her father. Throughout the day, however, it becomes increasingly clear that the students at the Salvatore School do not care about Lizzie's death; some of them are even happy she is gone. This affects Lizzie and she begins a quest of showing the students who she truly is by writing and delivering her own eulogy, something MG was meant to deliver.

Delivering her eulogy, she is mocked by the audience who laugh at her, causing her to storm off. She eventually attempts to reveal herself to the school but is stopped when MG begins to deliver her eulogy. In the eulogy, MG remarks how Lizzie tried to change numerous times, but the school didn't allow her; Lizzie is greatly moved by the speech.

Thankful for MG's speech—and fearful that MG will not get to attend his own funeral given his vampire status—Lizzie writes and delivers a eulogy for MG to him. She is approached by the members of the school who previously resented her, but are now happy to see she is not dead.
## Personality

Lizzie appears to be a typical high school mean girl, underneath bubbles a darkness that cannot go unaddressed. Given both her sinister lineage and the questionable biology that accompanies it, Lizzie possesses 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 the breakdown clearly on the horizon.

While she cares deeply for her sister and father and would do anything for them, she is incapable of seeing things from their perspective. During the school election for the honor council, she expected to win and felt betrayed when Josie won instead. She only saw how she was slighted instead of being happy for her sister. Lizzie is also a narcissist with a fragile ego that hates when she doesn't have her father's full attention.

During Summer break, Lizzie underwent intense behavioral therapy. She met with medical professionals and healers to help treat her bipolar disorder. She made great strides and started to treat herself and others with more respect. She even supported Josie in her magical endeavors instead of feeling threatened by her sisters' progress. Her progress was temporarily thwarted when MG accidentally made her think she was hallucinating. This was made worse when she was possessed by an oni, and she even expressed a desire to die as she didn't want to live in a mentally unstable state any longer. When Lizzie realized she wasn't hallucinating, she was able to regain a healthier mental state while being the same witty, fun, and brutally honest girl she always was.

## Physical Appearance

Although people describe Lizzie's personality and possibly even her appearance compared to being a "mean girl," she is a beautiful, young woman with light skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair.

## Powers and Abilities

Lizzie possesses all standard powers and abilities of a siphoner, a subsection of witches.

## Weaknesses

Lizzie has the typical weaknesses of a siphoner.

## Relationships

### Alaric Saltzman & Caroline Forbes

Alaric Saltzman and Caroline Forbes are the parents to Lizzie Saltzman. Alaric is Lizzie's biological father and Caroline is Lizzie's mother, but not her biological mother. Lizzie's ancestry consists of bloodshed and a witch coven, which was destroyed about a year prior to Lizzie's birth. After Lizzie's biological mother (Jo Laughlin) was killed by her murderous twin brother, the Gemini Coven placed Lizzie's fetus into Caroline. Alaric and Caroline found out about this a few months after the Gemini Coven's massacre and they agreed to raise Lizzie (along with her twin sister, Josie) together. Today, Lizzie now lives in Mystic Falls and she grew up there as well. As a siphoner/witch, Lizzie witnessed her parents running her magical school, the Salvatore Boarding School, while they helped to raise her. Currently, Alaric is the only one raising Lizzie extensively due to Caroline's travels. Lizzie was told that her travels involved school-recruitment in Europe; however, it was in fact to search for a solution about the Merge. Lizzie misses her mother, but she visits Caroline whenever she can, which Lizzie did so at least once, on *Legacies*. Lizzie is now struggling to get by without her mother and her father is more involved with the school as of late. However, Lizzie still loves her parents and yearns for their attention and approval.

### Josie Saltzman

Josie is Lizzie's twin sister, trusted best friend, and the person who provides Lizzie with advice and a shoulder to lean on whenever her temper goes awry. They grew up together and have gone to (and currently go to) the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted for most of their lives. Alaric Saltzman and Caroline Forbes are their father and mother, but Jo Laughlin was their biological mother. There is a dark history in which their biological mother perished from. Also, both twins are descended from a dark history involving their magical lineage, which is partly due to their siphoner-heritage. Despite this dark history, Lizzie is learning to control her dangerous powers with Josie's help along with her boarding school's help.

In *Malivore*, Lizzie is helped by Josie in campaigning for the school's honor council. She attempts to ask Josie about outfit choices and such. However, ignoring that Josie is there, Lizzie asks Rafael out as a deal if he voted for her. However, later on, Lizzie is shocked that she lost against Josie. Penelope gives Lizzie some hard advice saying that Josie will never have a normal romantic relationship with Lizzie in her life, which upsets Lizzie a lot. And Lizzie later apologizes to Rafael that she didn't realize Josie would vote against the decision to keep his foster brother at the school.

### Rafael Waithe

> "Guys like you make me nervous...you know...hot..."
>
> - Lizzie to Rafael in *This is the Part Where You Run*.

Lizzie first meets Rafael, along with her twin sister, Josie, when he first arrives at the Salvatore Boarding School. Lizzie takes an immediate liking to him and enthusiastically gives him a tour of the school, with Josie. Lizzie, almost immediately after meeting him, admits she has a crush on Rafael to Josie. She attempts to flirt with him at a school sports game, but he immediately turns her down, which shocks and angers Lizzie, which later causes her to go into a fit of rage and makes her believe that she's broken. Despite Rafael's rejections and wanting little to nothing to do with Lizzie, she still makes it clear that she wants him and calls "dibs" on him when Josie asks about Rafael.

In *Malivore*, Lizzie attempts to make a deal with Rafael. The deal was that he would vote for her and take her as her date to a party. He gladly accepted, but not before hesitantly looking at Josie, who was also in the room when Lizzie asked this of Rafael. Later, when Lizzie had found out long since it happened that she lost the student council election, she goes to the school's gym to try and blow off some steam. However, Penelope later enters the gym and says some hurtful, yet truthful words to her that causes Lizzie to break down crying. Rafael shortly runs into Lizzie crying and attempts to excuse himself, but she stops him by apologizing that she had no idea Josie would vote 'no' to keep Landon at the school. After Rafael says it's okay and attempts to leave the gym a second time, Lizzie desperately stops him and kisses him. Rafael attempts to stop her, but they both ultimately give in after Lizzie states, "Don't think about it." They then sleep together in the gym, only for Rafael to backtrack and tell Lizzie the next evening, during their dance at her sixteenth birthday party in *Mombie Dearest*, that they weren't going to be more than friends.

### MG

Lizzie has been good friends with MG for awhile. They attend the same school together at a boarding school, but Lizzie tends to only pay attention to MG whenever she needs something from him. Although Lizzie is unaware, MG has romantic feelings for her. For now, Lizzie doesn't return said-feelings for MG, but it is shown that it frustrates her whenever MG flirts with other girls, whether they be human or supernatural. Their friendship was also in jeopardy when MG made out with Lizzie's twin sister's ex-girlfriend, but this has been resolved. They are currently good friends and allies in defending their boarding school together (with their other friends).

### Sebastian

> "In my five centuries of being on this planet, little has changed in the way that people treat one another. This world is cruel to those it considers broken. But the Salvatore School, for all its aggravations, is different. It's the kindest place that I have ever been. That's why I want to stay there. If you'll have me."
>
> - **Sebastian** to **Lizzie** in *This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent*.

Lizzie first met Sebastian at the Old Mill and was instantly attracted to him, even telling MG that she might have a crush on him because he didn't know who she was. This prompts Lizzie to enlists MG's help in finding out if he was a new Malivore monster, but she comes to learn that he's a vampire. Sebastian confesses he is drawn to her and they share their first kiss together. MG watches from afar but only sees her kissing the air. While on a picnic date with Sebastian, MG interrupts them, and inadvertently convinces Lizzie that Sebastian isn't real and that she's having a psychotic break. MG later learns that Sebastian was real and was communicating with Lizzie in a diminished and desiccated state and eventually reunites the two. Although, she wanted nothing to do with Sebastian, she retained her attraction. Their relationship turns romantic, followed by sex, after Lizzie brings him with her while searching for Landon.
