It sits between her elbows and her waist. In her younger years she could make it hold gentle waves (thanks to an unholy amount of hairspray) but now can't be coerced into such. Most days recently it's thrown into an easy messy bun or ponytail [*][color=DEB887]Eyes:[/color] Light green but certain lighting or makeup can make them appear ice blue or grey [*][color=DEB887]Body Type:[/color] Usually ectomorphic but is currently accompanied by a third trimester baby bump [*][color=DEB887]Clothing Style:[/color] In her younger years Liz was full in on the grunge style but in the past few years it's shifted more toward a casual style with some grunge influences (eg ripped jeans, flannel over shirt, chokers). She tends to stick to neutrals and pastel blues and greens. In the recent months she'll just wear whatever she can fit into meaning using her (and her husbands) baggy shirts and sweatpants [*][color=DEB887]Body Markings:[/color] She has 5 piercings up her left ear and 2 lobe piercings on her right. She had a belly button piercing but took it out and let it close over about 5 years ago.

The result of a teenage pregnancy, Liz’ mother was kicked out of home causing the family of 3 to have to live with her father's parents, sharing a bedroom until Liz was 6 years old. Her parents, wanting a better life for Liz, finished their GED and her mother completed a teaching degree. Just before her mother's graduation they scraped enough money together to rent a 2 bedroom trailer. In her formative years, money was tight but Liz would barely know it back then those times, surrounded by many kids in the same position. No matter what, her parents made sure her belly was full and she was cared for. It took a couple of years for her mother to find a stable full time teaching job at the elementary school a couple of towns over but doing so seemed to cause a shift in the Rhodes family. By the time Liz was 12 her parents had managed to buy a modest 2 bedroom house on Digger's rd, their pantry was always stocked and the family didn't need to rely on hand me downs any longer. In terms of the country, they were lower middle class at best but Liz felt rich. From young her parents attempted to instill morals of responsibility and hard work. She learnt how to keep a budget and balance books early in life. Her parents worked to make sure she'd break the cycle of financial insecurity that ran in her families. Liz had always kept these skills for better or for worse. She was always good with money but forever scared of how close she could get to losing everything. As middle school faded into high school Liz found her passion in art, particularly in expressionism and abstract art and photography. In this time she also found herself the passion of one Isaiah Fulton. Liz did grow up playing with Isaiah at the trailer park alongside all the other kids but they were never super close. There's no doubt Isaiah fell first but Liz is sure she fell harder, although she would not have admitted it at the time. The pair started dating just before junior year. On graduation Liz got accepted into an art program at UNCSA. She worked 2 part time jobs in her final year of high school to save for college and her parents gave her some money but she still needed financial aid for the majority of the degree. She moved into a dorm at the university, leaving her family, friends and boyfriend back in Pines Hollow. Liz found herself hating it. She hated uni life, struggled to make friends, found the content and marking too subjective and was incredibly homesick. She dropped out after the 1st semester and returned to Pines Hollow. She returned to her job at waffle house, working full time and soon after her return moved into a one bedroom trailer with Isaiah. When the pair were 21 Isaiah proposed. Liz excitedly accepted but the couple decided to have a long engagement to allow them tome to save for the wedding. Life, however, had other plans. A few months after their engagement, Liz found herself pregnant despite the couple being careful. Although accidental the thought of expanding their family wasn't necessarily unwelcome. Isaiah's family pushed the couple to tie the knot before the arrival of their child. The next couple of months were a flurry of planning until about 3 months into Liz's pregnancy she lost the baby in her own home. She was left broken, unable to leave her room for a week and in the process lost her job at Waffle House. After a month she picked up a job at Husker's as a bartender. With everything arranged, Isaiah and Liz decided to go through with their wedding. Isaiah and Liz stayed at the trailer park, trying to save where they could. At 30 Liz’ student loans were fully paid off the couple decided to move to a 2 bedroom house on Miner's street and start trying to grow their family. Liz quickly fell pregnant and the couple excitedly prepared for their incoming little girl. When Liz was 34 weeks pregnant she noted that the baby was moving less than usual one evening and booked in to see a doctor first thing in the morning. That night she woke up in the middle of the night weak and feverish, having bled through her clothes and sheets. Isaiah rushed her to the ER where they found out the baby had died in utereo. Labour was induced and Liz delivered their little girl. She had wisps of her mother's black hair and a little button nose that seemed like her father's. Little and perfect but with no air in her lungs or heartbeats. It took Liz months to return to normal life. After a few months the couple decided they still wanted to keep trying. It took a few years and just a month shy of her 35th birthday Liz discovered she was, once again, pregnant and the couple sprung to make preparations although more cautious and fearful. Liz planned to work right up until her due date for some extra money but ended up struggling too much with morning sickness and sciatica so left work only 4 months later. All seemed to still be ok, that was until Isaiah lost his job and now the Fultons are facing dwindling savings with a baby due in 2 months [/indent] [sub][color=DEB887][b]Extra Facts // Headcannons:[/b][/color][/sub] [list][*] Liz doesn't care much about the expansion vs non-expansion debate but she does care about the impact it has had on her family, namely ripping away their financial security [*] She paints and sells artworks onlne.
