**Elizabeth "Lizzie" Karen Baker (nee Scott)** is a graduate of Tree Hill High School, a major protagonist, and one of the main characters throughout the series. Being the middle child, Elizabeth is always seen as the black sheep of her family often partaking in rebellious behavior. Elizabeth, unlike the rest of her siblings, took their sudden wealth as a promotion to gain favors and continue to move up the social ladder. She originally is seen as a nice, sweet, caring and compassionate person as the she was not as musically gifted as Sawyer, as witty and sly as Keith, as outspoken and passionate as Taylor, or as academically gifted as Jimmy. However, the wealth got to her head and she began to lose relationships with her friends and gained the reputation of a diva.

Giving her a love interest in Matthew Baker and exploring not only their past together, but her past struggles is often a focal point of her character growth. She begins to show caring side again after she confronts her obvious crush on him, and dwindles down her bratty and diva nature after seeing the positive affect he has on her life. A turning point for character comes during the infamous school shooting and realizing her ex-boyfriend James is responsible. She would become a target and be held at gunpoint, trying to calm him down and seeing Matthew come to her rescue. She pleaded for her life, apologizing profusely and crying for everything that happened, as a gunshot was fired. With Matthew shot by protecting her, she became extremely defensive and scared whenever she heard a loud noise showing signs of PTSD, but it gave her the courage to say I love you for the first time.

After having PTSD, she began putting all of her efforts to keep herself busy, like joining the Tree Hill Cheerleading Squad, the Tree Hill Drama Department, and taking an acting class.

In The Originals, it is revealed that she and Matthew had another child, a daughter named Hope Baker.

After Peyton's death, she became very depressed and shut off parts of herself to her closest friends and family. She began taking pills for the pain
