She has natural auburn hair with light green eyes to match, a spitting image of her late mother. [color=SteelBlue]Neighborhood[/color] The Outskirts [color=SteelBlue]School[/color] She is currently enrolled in Moore University, pursuing a Business degree. [color=SteelBlue]Occupation[/color] Waitress and partial owner of The Cosy Bear Cafe. [color=SteelBlue]Personality[/color] Elizabeth is typically the positive, "glass half-full" type of person on the outside. She is a people pleaser through and through, constantly looking for ways to help others in any way she can. Many consider her the "mother" of the friend group, and some even give her a hard time (in a friendly manner) about always trying to nurture everyone she is close to. If you needed anyone for any sort of reason at all, rest assured that Elizabeth would be there for you in a heart beat. At times this gets her into trouble and often used as a door mat for people who recognize this trait and manipulate it to their advantage. On the inside, Elizabeth is very anxious and can fall into depression slumps. She does her very best not to show any sort of change in mood or behavior, however, and few people know how dark her mind can get when she's alone. Due to this, Ellie is constantly putting herself in situations where she can be with other people. Whether that be with her friends, family, or even enjoying conversation with strangers that she meets at work - as long as she isn't left alone with her own thoughts. [color=SteelBlue]Short Bio[/color] Elizabeth is the eldest child of Johnathon and Mary Baker, a couple who were both born and raised in Emerald City. Loving the town and wanting to continue with Jonathon's family business, the Bakers chose to raise their family in Emerald City and bought their own house on the Outskirts of town - figuring that to be a quiet and safe area to raise their kids. The family has remained in that house ever since. As the eldest child, Elizabeth held a lot of responsibility on her shoulders growing up. Since she was around the age of 10, she knew that she was expected to stay in Emerald City and take over the family business. The Baker's had two more children after Elizabeth, two identical twin boys who are 7 years younger than her. Elizabeth would often help care for the boys, as both of her parents worked at the time. This was the beginning of Elizabeth's people pleaser and mother-like mentality. Four years ago the Baker's lost a key staple to their family - Mary Baker. Just a few months before Elizabeth was due to graduate high school, a drunk driver in an SUV struck her vehicle while she was on the way to an early morning shift at The Cosy Bear Cafe. It gutted the family completely. A massive hole had been left in their lives. Her father had placed blame on all of the new comers, as the driver of the SUV had only arrived a few months prior, and the hate for them began festering in his heart from then on. Now, her best friend Lily - the Mayor's daughter - has gone missing and has recently been assumed to be dead. Elizabeth has been devastated, barely functioning since she was first discovered to be missing...

Both look similar to their father with dark hair and have their mother's green eyes. In an effort to differentiate themselves from their twin, they have both dyed their hair. Logan dyes with a semi-permanent blue which occasionally washes back out to reveal his dark hair. Levi has bleached his hair white.

Often seen with messy, "just rolled out of bed" hair. [color=#66CDAA]Neighborhood[/color] The Countryside [color=#66CDAA]School[/color] Attended Sacramento State University and graduated with a BA in Law Enforcement. Went on to complete Emerald City's Police Training Academy in order to be hired onto the force. [color=#66CDAA]Occupation[/color] Detective. [color=#66CDAA]Personality[/color] To sum it up, Levi is a sarcastic smart ass. Much to the chagrin of his fellow police officers, Levi loves a good prank and often has no idea when to be serious. Much of his coping mechanisms are to defer to humor, which has annoyed many significant others in the past. While sarcastic, if he's serious about something, he's very blunt and to the point. A pet-peeve of his is beating around the bush during any type conversation. Whether it be interrogating a suspect or finding a girl attractive, he's typically going to say exactly what's on his mind and he'd like it if you did the same. In college he was a heart breaker of sorts, floating from girl to girl at his whim. The female gender would flock to him and he barely had to try. Now in his 30s, he's decided that he no longer wants to play the dating game. He's had his fun. Of course, he can't help but have that sultry charisma (or maybe it's his looks? He never knew), but he no longer intends to use that just to obtain a one night stand. [color=#66CDAA]Short Bio[/color][/center] Levi was born in Emerald City to a young single mother who never spoke of his father. He grew up hating the town and would leave to California as soon as he graduated high school, leaving his mother behind to pursue the best law enforcement school in the country, which also put him in a load of debt by the time he graduated at age 21. At first Levi had aspired to become an attorney, to go on to the next step of his law degree, but things changed. To celebrate his graduation, Levi visited his mother in Emerald City for a week. Near the end of his trip, Levi and his mother arrived home from dinner only to find a group of masked men robbing his mothers home. Unfortunately, Levi had hung back in the garage to take a look at his mother's car which had turned on it's "Check Engine" light on the way over. His mother was the first to find the men. They panicked and shot her on sight. A defenseless 38 year old women, shot twice - once in her left forearm (bad aim) and one more in her abdominal aorta artery. Levi dropped everything and sprinted into the house. He saw his mother writhing in pain on the ground and quickly ran to tackle one of the men trying to run out of the house. Before he could do any damage, the group turned on him and wrestled him to the ground. Together they were stronger than him and ended up tying him to a dining room chair, then shooting him in his right thigh before making their exit. Luckily, one of their few neighbors in the countryside of town had heard the gunshots and called the police. Unluckily, his mother bled out on the ground right before Levi's eyes. Levi was lethargic from blood loss and hysterical about his mother when the police arrived. This would change the course of Levi's life, as he was determined to never be so defenseless again, to find out who was responsible and make them pay for it. When recovered, Levi moved all of his things from California and into his mother's Emerald City home. He immediately enrolled into the Police Academy and set himself on the path which would eventually lead to the arrest of several gang members who had murdered his mother. Now, ten years later, Levi remains in Emerald City. He's grown to like the town. Maybe not love it, but like most of it. Moving would have been a pain in the ass by the time the trial for his mothers murder was over. Besides, Levi has moved up the ranks in the police department over the years, becoming one of their top detectives. He lives comfortably, even though it's been a bit lonely, but hey - it could be worse. [/hider][/center]
