Identity

Physical
Appearance: With her sun-streaked blonde hair, Pacific-Ocean-blue-green eyes, and perfect tan, Elizabeth Wakefield is the epitome of California Girl. She also looks remarkably like her identical twin sister, Jessica, right down to the dimple in their left cheeks and their perfect size four bodies, both measuring in at 5'4" tall, though they both seem to have a couple more inches' worth of growing to go.

Of course, only those who don't know the Wakefield twins would have a hard time telling the two apart. Elizabeth wears her hair pulled back in some way, shape, or form most of the time, either with clips (that match her outfit, of course), in a ponytail, or with a headband. Her sense of fashion is more of a classic preppy look than her sister's, and she prefers clothes that are comfortable and modest over those that reveal, in her opinion, far more than should be shown. She also always wears a watch, so she's always the twin who is on time.
Played-By: Elisabeth Harnois

Personality: Elizabeth is four minutes older than her identical twin sister, Jessica. It might as well be four years, in Elizabeth's opinion. She is the more mature, grounded, practical, responsible twin. She almost never leaps to conclusions, preferring to think things through and then taking just a tiny step to reach a reasonable conclusion. She has made some errors in judgement before, of course (she is only human, after all), but they have always been very well-meaning errors, when she was simply trying to do what she thought would be the best for those involved.

School
Grade: Freshman
GPA: 4.0 because if she ever earned anything less than an A on any assignment ever, she would spontaneously combust. Less-than-perfect grades is Jessica's territory.
Classes:
Fall: Freshmen English, American History, Earth Science, Geometry, Health & Wellness, Study Hall, Newspaper I
Spring: Freshmen English, Study Hall, Earth Science, Geometry, Study Hall, Dance & Aerobics, Newspaper I
Extra-curriculars: Throughout middle school, Elizabeth worked on the school newspaper, something she would like to do again at Sunnydale High School, hopefully even having her own column and one day being editor-in-chief of the publication. Other than that, Elizabeth volunteers at the homeless shelter as well as just about every other place around Sunnydale that helps the poor, unwashed masses.
Positions: Resident Saint of Sunnydale; as soon as school starts, she will seek a staff position on The Sunnydale Oracle.

History & Relationships
Family:
Parents: Ned and Alice Wakefield (lawyer and interior designer, respectively)
Older brother: Steven Wakefield (SHS senior)
Twin sister: Jessica Wakefield (younger by four minutes; SHS freshman)
Friends: After Jessica, who is her very best friend, Elizabeth's friends include loveable nerd Winston Egbert, fellow hard-worker Maria Slater, artsy Olivia Davidson, and (eventually, according to SVH canon) Enid Rollins.
Relationships - Past/Current/Future:
Past / Current: Todd Wilkins, who has been her sort-of boyfriend all through middle school.
Future: Well, according to SVH / SVH:SY / SVU canon ...
There's Todd Wilkins, off and on all the way through junior year and again briefly at the beginning of college.
She cheats on Todd with both Ken Matthews and Sam Woodruff (both of whom would later go on to date Jessica), as well as with various boys (some princes, some werewolves, etc) on those various crazy adventures that the twins go on.
When Todd moves to Vermont, Elizabeth moves on with Jeffrey French, but only until Todd comes home.
New kid Devon Whitelaw catches her attention at the end of junior year, and she will be torn between him and Todd, but ultimately end up with neither.
In her senior year, she started out with Connor McDermott, but when he went to rehab, she briefly dated both Evan Plummer and Jeffrey French (yes, again).
College brings on yet another breakup with Todd, and Elizabeth moving on with Tom Watts. After Tom will be Todd again, briefly, then briefly Tom again.
In her sophomore year at college, Liz starts dating her roommate, Sam Burgess, but when Jess tries to get Sam to kiss her, Liz will catch them and then run off to England.

Personal History: (A list/outline of important canon history & history that you've created/embellished. Each major event should be bolded, or otherwise separated from the bulk of the history, for ease of other characters in that fandom to pick up on the same page of what did/didn't happen. This is a great time to note any deviations from the canon history, though these will be scrutinized and only allowed on a needed basis, unless they were mod established.)

Family / Childhood
- Ned and Alice Wakefield met in college. Alice was engaged to Henry Patman, but broke it off with him and ran off with Ned instead. (Though the actual events of their meeting / relationship / marriage are rather fluid and change from series to series, even book to book.)
- Mom has two sisters, Nancy and Laura; Laura has two daughters, Robin (the twins' age) and Stacy (four years younger than Robin); Laura has one daughter, Kelly, and is divorced from her husband. All three cousins are close in age to the twins.
- Older brother Steven was born first, about three years before the twins.
- Born on June 13, 1994, Elizabeth is four minutes older than Jessica.
- Up until middle school, the twins shared a room and frequently wore matching outfits.
- Once they started middle school, Elizabeth moved into the spare bedroom, which was connected to (what was now) Jessica's room via the bathroom that they continued to share.
- They pulled "twin swaps" a lot in elementary and middle school. Usually it was to help get Jessica out of trouble. Elizabeth hopes that they will pull fewer twin swaps now that they are in high school.
- The twins were named after their great-great-grandmother Jessamyn and great-great-great-aunt Elisabeth (first names) and their great-grandmother Samantha and great-great-aunt Amanda (middle names). Both sets of namesakes were identical twins.
- Elizabeth took riding lessons, and both twins took dance lessons.

Sweet Valley Kids
- The Runaway Hamster: In the second grade, the girls were chosen to take the class hamster home over winter break. Elizabeth was thrilled, but Jessica was afraid the hamster would get out of the cage. The hamster ended up getting lost, and Mrs. Wakefield bought the girls a new hamster to bring into school. Steven's science project, a mouse trap, caught the hamster, so the girls were able to return it to the class. (SVK: Runaway Hamster)
- The Secret Pet Cat: The girls also temporarily had a secret pet cat when they found a stray. Despite knowing about Ned and Steven's allergy to cats, they hid the kitten in their closet, until they think that the cat might be sick, so they tell their parents about it, who figure out that the cat is having kittens. After the kittens are born, their friends adopt the cat and kittens. (SVK: Jessica's Cat Trick)
- Teacher Got Married; The Lemonade Stand: When their teacher was getting married, the girls and the rest of their classmates decided to each chip in $2 to buy their teacher a present. To earn their $4 (combined), Elizabeth and Jessica decided to start a lemonade stand. After Jessica went off with her friends and Elizabeth made $3 selling lemonade, Jessica took the money and bought herself two bracelets. Mrs. Wakefield gave Elizabeth the $2 she needed for the class present, and Jessica had to work for her money (but Elizabeth ended up helping her anyway, and Jessica gave her one of the bracelets). (SVK: Elizabeth's Super-Selling Lemonade)
- Broken Arm: Elizabeth broke her left arm when she was seven years old. She and Jessica were playing at their friend Amy Sutton's house and climbing a tree when Elizabeth fell out of the tree. She was upset to miss school the next day, but Jessica was jealous of the attention that Elizabeth was getting. They made up soon, however (as they always do). (SVK: Elizabeth's Broken Arm)
- Being Overly Helpful: When Jessica was having monster nightmares and not sleeping well, Elizabeth thought that she was helping by telling their friends, so they would know why Jess was tired. Jessica drew a picture of the monster from her nightmares in art class, and when the teacher sent Jessica to the nurse to take a nap (after almost falling asleep in class), Elizabeth, the teacher, and the rest of the class turned Jessica's scary monster silly, to help her with her fear. (SVK: Jessica's Monster Nightmare)
- Her Circus-Wannabe Sister: When the circus came to town, Jessica was fascinated by the horseback riders, so the twins' mom told them about their great-great-great-grandmother Jessamyn and great-great-great-great-aunt Elisabeth, and about how Jessamyn ran off to become a circus performer, but Elisabeth went and found her (conveniently leaving off the fact that Elisabeth tried the circus riding when she found Jessamyn and then fell and died). Jessica decided to try to repeat the past and ran off to try to join the circus, despite the fact that it was Elizabeth who was taking riding lessons. Elizabeth went after Jessica and brought her home, both girls returning safely. Jessica did get to ride in the circus at the end, though. (SVK: The Amazing Jessica)

Sweet Valley Twins (We've moved some of the events of the books to other years, to spread them out. Some of the trippier books [BIG for Christmas, The Magic Christmas] are ignored altogether)
Sixth Grade:
- Drifting Apart From Jessica: Upon starting the sixth grade, the girls began developing their own interests: Elizabeth gravitated toward the school newspaper while Jessica was drawn to the "Unicorn Club." Fearing that they were drifting apart, Elizabeth wanted to join the Unicorn Club, since Jessica was so into it, but when her pledge task was to make a classmate eat a shaving cream sundae, Elizabeth balked (Jessica ended up pretending to be Elizabeth to pull the prank, but Elizabeth caught on and talked the classmate out of switching to a private school), and ended up not joining. She and Jessica remained best friends, of course, but Elizabeth ended up moving into the spare bedroom. (SVT: Best Friends)
- Class Treasurer: Elizabeth ran against fellow sixth grader Peter DeHaven for the position of class treasurer. Although friend Amy Sutton was originally her campaign manager, she quit after a disagreement between the girls and helped Peter, instead. After Elizabeth and Peter both gave their speeches, Elizabeth and Amy made up, and Elizabeth was elected Class Treasurer anyway, a position she held through all of middle school. (SVT: Buried Treasure; the last part is stretched to make some of the events that have been moved to 8th grade more plausible)
- Running For Class President: When the sixth grade class president moved away from Sunnydale, there was a brief election for a new president. Both Elizabeth and Jessica were nominated, as well as Randy Mason, one of their "nerdy" classmates. Elizabeth ended up dropping out of the race because she was already Class Treasurer, and she felt that Randy had better ideas than she did. He ended up winning the election. (SVT: Tug of War)
- Mom's Cancer Scare: Just after the twins noticed that their mom has been tired and pale for a while, Jessica overheard something about Alice's blood test results on the phone. When the kids (Steven included) confronted her, she admitted that the doctor found a lump on her neck and she needed to go in for a biopsy. Jessica took charge and started ordering Steven and Liz around, while she mostly stayed with their mother. When the test results came back, they were inconclusive: it was most likely a bad virus, but there was a small chance it could be cancer. After more tests, it turned out to only be a bad virus. (SVT: Center of Attention)
- Worry About Parents' Marriage: When the twins were in the sixth grade, they threw a 16th anniversary party for their parents, but were worried when Ned and Alice had forgotten about their own anniversary. Jessica started worrying that their marriage was in trouble because she saw her mother having lunch with a strange man (who turns out to be a very rich client of Alice's, as she is interior decorating his mansion). Both twins start jumping to conclusions about the state of their parents' marriage when neither seems to particularly care whether the other is home or not, and they don't want to talk about how they met and fell in love (part of a social studies project that Liz was working on). When they tried telling Steven that they thought their mom was in love with her client (Frank Howard), he told them they were nuts, but was somehow convinced when the twins speculated that the reason Alice had shown them the picture of Frank's mansion was because they would soon be living there. When they see Alice and Frank looking at china and engagement rings, they continue jumping to conclusions and try to sabotage the relationship that they think is happening between Alice and Frank, ... until they meet Frank's fiancée, Karen. Everyone had a laugh about the whole situation, and the Wakefield parents assured their children that they are still in love and happily married. (SVT: Jumping to Conclusions)

Seventh Grade:
- The Fundraiser With The Movie Star: The Christmas when the twins were in the seventh grade, the middle school and high school were having a competition to raies money for the hospital (the competition was over which school could raise the most). Elizabeth came up with the idea of inviting an actor, Beau Dillon, to appear at a benefit, since he was involved in a movie about a kid with cancer. He was supposed to stop at the Wakefields' house when he was in Sunnydale for a meeting, but he was late and Elizabeth had already had to leave to do Santa's Helper things at the hospital, so Jessica (who was at home) pretended to be Elizabeth. Beau made a lunch date with "Elizabeth" for after Christmas to talk about the benefit. Jessica didn't tell Elizabeth that Beau had come by, wanting to keep the lunch date for herself. After she had a very "A Christmas Carol" Christmas Eve, Jessica realized how selfish she was (temporarily) and told Elizabeth that Beau had shown up after all. The benefit ended up being a success. (SVT: The Christmas Ghost; book is set in sixth grade, we've moved it to the seventh grade)

Eighth Grade:
- The Visit From The Guardian Angel: When the twins were in the eighth grade, their class was raising money (through bake sales and car washes and etc) to have an end-of-semester / Christmas party in December. As the class treasurer, Elizabeth held onto all the money that the eighth grade had raised, keeping it all in a box hidden in her closet. Jessica was appointed the party planner, but in true Jessica fashion, she was very indecisive about what she wanted to do. At the same time, Elizabeth was volunteering at the homeless shelter. She was particularly attached to two girls, sisters, at the shelter, who were there with their mom because they'd lost their house; their father was up north, looking for work. The father got a job, and the mom found a small apartment that they could move into, so that they wouldn't have to spend Christmas in the shelter, but the father's boss couldn't front him the money for the rent (which was, coincidentally, just about the same amount that the eighth graders had raised), and by the time he would be back with the money, the apartment would be gone. Elizabeth decided to help, because she had the money (even though it wasn't hers) for their rent, and surely the father would be back with the money before Jessica decided on a theme for the party. So she loaned the money to the family, but then the father was caught in a storm coming home, and Elizabeth had to admit to Jessica and the rest of the party planning committee that she didn't have the money. She ran out, away from the anger of her sister and friends. In a fit of depression over everything going so terribly, she wished that she had never been born. Her guardian angel (a hip 60s teenager named Laura) came down and made her wish true, showing Elizabeth how different things were without her around. Liz wishes that she could go back, and she ends up outside the school, where the eighth grade party is. It turns out that the shelter dad showed up with the money, and everyone realized what happened, and they forgave Elizabeth. (SVT: A Christmas Without Elizabeth; book is set in sixth grade, but we've moved it to the eighth grade)

Storylines: (What storylines do you want to see in this game, particularly ones that effect the entire game or will need mod mediation to put into place? Where do you think your character would fit in? How do you think they'll develop in this setting? This doesn't have to be a long response, but just a general gist would be nice!)
