Elizabeth Suroeste

**Elizabeth"Liza" Elise Suroeste** is the most popular girl in Yuma,Arizona and great-great granddaughter of supposed town founder Samuel Suroeste, who for her entire life was brought up to use her family's high status to treat others poorly. Once a major rival of Linda Obispo,
recent interactions with her former foe and common people have
compelled her to abandon her family's conceited attitude and long,
hidden history of crime, treachery, and cover-ups.

## History

Liza makes her debut in "How the Suroeste Was Fun," at Linda's death-day.Carmelo,
the DJ for the evening, announces that that there will be a karaoke
contest and that the winner will win the party crown. Liza walks up
to him, asking for the crown. Linda, who is watching this unfold, asks Maddie and Olive who she is.Maddie explains that Liza is the most popular girl in town. When Carmelo
explains that he can't simply give Liza the crown because she has to
win the contest, she scoffs, asking Carmelo (who she refers to as Carmelito)
who would dare to compete against her, using Maddie and Olive as
examples, referring to them as "Fork girl" and "Green haired Lady"
respectively, embarrassing them. Seeing that her new friends are hurt by
Liza's mean comments, Linda says that she will compete against
Liza. Linda introduces herself, and Liza insults her, saying
that "[Linda] sounds like a stupid baby's name," though Linda is
unfazed by Liza's insult, saying that she will take it as a
compliment, thus sparking the start of her rivalry with Liza. Liza and Linda compete against each
other in a karaoke contest and Carmelo determines the winner based on the
amount of applause each girl receives. Linda receives a loud applause
for her performance and Liza, using intimidation, receives a loud
applause as well. As the outcome is a tie, she approaches a sleeping Old Lady McBride, bribing her with money to win the party crown. After winning, she leaves with most of the party-goers to go to her after-party on her parents' boat, and the crowd carries her away on their shoulders.Their rivalry continues in "My Fair Linda
," it is Sock Hop Dance, and Liza hosts the event, being the great-great granddaughter of
the town's founder Samuel Suroeste (and "also very rich"). She
encourages anyone in the crowd to come onstage and share their "sock hop spirit," and Linda, enthusiastic about the aspect of "audience participation" comes onstage. The second Liza sees Linda she becomes angered, though contains herself, and Linda engages the crowd, leading
them all into a chant of "USA." Liza stops Linda, informing her that
"Sock Hop Dance is for mature people," insulting Linda's skull earrings
and dead poodle skirt and addressing her as immature. Having
humiliated Linda in front of the town, she says that she is "embarrassed for [Linda]." Liza then enthusiastically asks that everyone applaud a now embarrassed and downtrodden Linda. After Linda goes offstage,
Liza starts talking about herself, asking the crowd "who wants to
hear more about [her]."Linda later approaches Liza, who inquires who the ghost of a 50s girl with brown hair. Linda explains that she is the kind hearted cheerleader and straight a student and that the reason she is alive is that "it turns out you can survive in the war." Liza cuts her off, laughing and insulting Linda. Seeing
that their car is stuck, she tells Linda to "enjoy walking home," and
drives away in her family's sedan, but is stopped by an angry Cameron, who informs her that "Samuel Suroeste didn't found Arizona, and your whole family is a sham," giving her the secret cover-up document as proof. As the sedan drives away, Liza calls out to her mother in distress.During "The Salesman's Dog," Liza appears at the Yuma Fair and makes a very rude remark towards Linda. Later, when Linda and Cameron are teaching her prized dog to do cute things,the two accidentally make things worse where Liza makes fun of Linda's prized dog, Chivato
.This horrifies Linda, who convinces Cameron to help her win or Chivato will die. At the end of the episode, Liza went insane when she finds out that her dog is a demon and Linda won the dog show.In "The Drug Queen," Liza and her family arrive at Cameron's cousin's wedding just as Linda refuses to take get married to a human male. They proceed to face off with the Cortez family and Carmelo.Soon after, Linda publicly insults Liza and challenges her to a pageant. After discovering Cameron's ancestor married a ghost girl,Linda puts on a wedding play.However, Linda and Cameron decides to fake getting married instead.After the play is done, Liza grudgingly accepts
both Linda's apology and an offer of a ride home. It is shown in the
episode that she does not live a normal life. She receives a lot of
pressure from her parents to be the best at everything, does not know how to react to common behavior (like eating in the car or sharing), and lives in a mansion with fountains and peacocks.She also does not receive much moral support from her parents as they
often put important parties and business matters before her.In the episode, "Suroeste Cruise,"as the Southwests accidentally let a orphaned mexican baby girl eat junk food.However,during the pageant,Christina has a heart attack when Preston makes her binge on junk food.Liza is sick and tired of her parents and decides to run away to live with the Cortez family.

## Personality

Up until "Suroeste Cruise," Liza was stuck-up,
sarcastic, rude, arrogant, snotty, and mean. She was a stereotypical
popular blonde girl, having money, style, and talent. She was the show's
diva and looked down cruelly on "weirdos".In "The Drug Queen," she and Linda gained some common ground and she showed minor signs of humbling after the play is done and getting a ride home in the Cortez family's car even sharing tacos with Linda despite her having been taught not to eat food in a car. She even compliments Carmelo's "Wedding" idea, and tells Linda that she had fun acting.Cameron has shown a certain amount of naivety in regards to common acts of kindness.It is then revealed in "Suroeste Cruise" that Liza acts
the way she does because her parents keep her in line with their tight
standards on what being a Southwest entails, and also with Pavlovian
behavioral conditioning, possibly combined with abuse of some sort. She
also makes a breakthrough by setting herself aside from the other
Southwests, displaying altruistic traits when her parents tried to
dissuade her otherwise. She also has a complete change of heart towards
everyone and becomes a friend to the common folk of the town and the Cortez family.

In "The Zoot Suit" Liza is aggressive towards Linda,but after her brain was eaten by a zoot suit wearing ghost,she becomes a brainless zombie with blue skin.
