The New Girl || Lizzentine

It was a new day and Lizzie was feeling even better from the day before. Every day she feels a little bit better. She was gaining more and more strength and feeling better and better. She was almost back to her normal self. Now she was just feeling tired for whatever reason, even though she was sleeping so much at night lately. Ever since the sickness spread out throughout their group, Lizzie had been careful. Her eyes were peeled and she made sure she wasn't taking anything for granted anymore. So many people died, and somehow she wasn't one of them. 

She wasn't sure how she was even still alive. But she was. She saw a lot of terrible things in that sick cell block. A lot of people that died. And Glenn was almost one of them, but Lizzie stopped that Walker from getting him. Even though she tripped and almost got eaten herself. It was still worth it. She was feeling proud of herself. After she had gotten dressed and went outside to get breakfast. She looked over, seeing Mika over with the other two kids. She smiled and went to finds a seat when she saw another girl, one she hadn't seen before.

Lizzie walked over with her plate and took the seat across from the darker skilled, puffy haired hair. She smiled over at her "Hi, are you new here?" She asked, swinging her legs over under the table "I definitely never seen you here before. I'm Lizzie."

"Well, y’all never know, it might happen one day" Nesta shrugged a little, she didn’t know where everyone stood on that, so all she could do was give that little bit of hope. "I don’t know what happened myself, sweetie" she shook her head, nobody had felt the need to tell her what happened, so she hadn’t asked, it was none of her business after all. "I mean it, though. Whenever you need to talk."

[lizziebeingstrong]

She nodded her head. She was relieved to know at least there was one adult she could turn to in times of trouble, because she didn't even know what to do anymore. "Thanks, Nes." She smiled over at her before gazing out through the fence again.

"And that’s what you two have to be, even if she’s not here" Nesta nodded, she knew how hard it must’ve been on the two sisters, she honestly didn’t know how they could be strong with the age they were. "She might come back, Lizzie. Where’s that hope?" she smiled, albeit it was a little sad. "I’ll always be here to look out for, I know I’m not Carol, but still, you can always talk to me."

[lizziebeingstrong]

She nodded "I know.." She said, taking in a breath. She looked up at her. "They sad she couldn't come back, though.. but I don't understand.. what happened?" She asked, "Do you know..?" She wandered. Nobody would tell her or Mika anything.She smiled at her "Thank you." She said with a simple nod of her head. At least somebody was there should could turn to if needed.

Nesta felt her heart drop at the young girls expression. Nobody that young should have to go through the things that she had. “She will be, Lizzie. Carol’s strong and that’s what we all have to be” she replied softly, crouching a little so that she was at Lizzie’s height. “Just..Just don’t lose hope. It’s what keeps us all going.”

[lizziebeingstrong]

She nodded, she knew Carol was a survivor. "That's what she always told me and Mika.. that we had to be strong. It's what she said just before.. left." She sighed, staring out through the fence. "But now that she's not coming back.. what do me and Mika do now? She was suppose to take care of us... and she didn't come back." Lizzie turned away and started to walk back to the courtyard.

"We can only hope, sweetie" Nesta nodded, it had been a lot better since they’d managed to get rid of them, perhaps them breaking through it had been a good thing, hopefully they wouldn’t build up again soon. "You hope what, darlin’?" she asked, a soft expression on her features as she looked over at Lizzie.

[lizziebeingstrong]

She sighed, nodding her head. She did hope, she just wanted things to go back to the way they were a few months ago when she was feeling good, still had her father and all they had to worry about was Biters outside the fence and their supplies being up to date. "I just hope..." She paused, looking down. "I hope Carol's okay out there.."

"Well, I’m glad to hear it. " Nesta smiled back. "I’m afraid not. Aside from us gettin’ rid of the walkers ‘round the fences."

[lizziebeingstrong]

"I saw that already," She smiled, looking out around her again. It seemed so much clear "Maybe.. things will be better now." She said hopefully with a nod. "I just hope.." She bit her lip, stopping herself.

"Shouldn’t you be inside?"

Turns to Carl suddenly, sighing "Hershel said I'm well enough to get some air." She said, looking back out through the fence "For awhile, I didn't think I was going to get better.. it feels nice to be out here again."

What's up with kids these days? || Dean&Lizzie

 Dean huffed and rolled her eyes dramatically. She truly had no sense of direction whatsoever, did she? Or was it her faulty map misleading her once again? No matter which it was, she’d gone the wrong way and whinded up at a fucking prison. Yes, this was exactly what she had been looking for. Primarily, Dean had minimal to zero interest in it. Not worth the huge risk to go scavenging in unless she had a large and heavily-equipped group with her. In fact, she thought it was probably overrun with plenty of hungry zombies that might even require an entire army to take them all out, so she was surprised to spot a young girl standing on the inside of the fence, staring out at the zombies lining the outside.

 What the hell was that child doing in there? Was she all on her own? Was she with a group? Was she safe? Did she need help? Was she okay? The only way Dean could get answers to those questions was if she asked the girl herself. Curse her soft spot for children. She made sure to scan the area thoroughly, and there didn’t appear to be anyone in the prison’s yard aside from that one child. Dean proceeded to carefully approach the fence until she was near enough that she could speak to the girl without having to be too close to the zombies. She’d take them out if she had to.

 Dean cleared her throat and smiled a little when she made eye-contact with the child. “Hey, kiddo. What’re you up to in there?”, she asked softly, hoping she wouldn’t frighten her off.

Lizzie made her way outside. As soon as she entered the courtyard and looked up, the sun immediately felt like it was going to burn her eyeball right out of their sockets. it was such an adjustment from being in the Prison for far too long. Since she was one of the sick survivors, she'd been outside for what felt like ages. And everyone had been paying some kind of special attention to her, since she had been the only child with the weird zombie swine flu sickness like a lot of the people in the Prison had already died from. She had it too, but somehow, it didn't kill her like everyone else. 

She tried not to think about it to much, what happened in the cell block with all those people, Hershel and Maggie saving the day and almost getting herself killed to try and held Glenn, who luckily was one of the few who did make it, just like herself and Sasha, too. She was feeling better, better enough to go outside, at least. Get some fresh air and not worry too much about spreading her germs around. She was basically cured. Walking outside after all that, it was refreshing. Even with the sun beating on her eyes at first. It was a little price to pay.

She walked over to the fence, looking around. No Biters over on this end, but then she heard a female's voice. She turned her head and stepped back from the fence as she saw a young woman approach. She didn't know who she was or if she should scream for help or not. But for all she knew, this could have been another surviving who needed a place to stay "What?" She asked, confused by her question "What do you mean?" Sometimes she forgot that not everyone knew there was a group in the Prison. She looked back, nobody else was outside right now "Do you need help.. or something?" She asked.

"Feels nice to be outside again, being in that sick cell block was getting really gross and stuffy.. it's nice to feel the sun again."

ROBOTS OR DINOSAURS?

"I think it’d be cool to see a working robot again, we got enough problems with the Biters, I don’t want to see hungry Dinosaurs, too. That’d just make everything worse.."

SAMUELS, Lizzie.

→ Age: 12 - 14 → Face claim: Brighton Sharbino. → Former occupation: Student.

BACKGROUND, biography

Very little is known about Lizzie’s life before or as the outbreak started, except that she has a sister, Mika Samuels, and a father,Ryan Samuels and lived in Jacksonville. She joined the prison with her family. Lizzie is first seen in the prison courtyard with other children naming the walkers on the fence, when Carl and Patrick approach then and Carl says that they shouldn’t name walkers because they are not people and because they kill people. Lizzie then argues that people also kill people and have names. She also brings up the fact that she herself has witnessed the turning process. After that, she and the other kids get inside the prison headed to reading. Lizzie is also present when Carol teaches the kids how to use knives during storytime.

Lizzie comes over and tells Carol that she isn’t feeling well. She asks if Carol can tuck her in, but Carol realizes that she might get infected herself. Heartbroken, Carol gives her a hug and sends her inside the cellblock to find Glenn, telling her that he can tuck her in instead. After closing the door, Carol tears off her mask and begins crying.

RELATIONSHIPS, environment

Mika Samuels, — sister.Mika and Lizzie had a close sister-relationship. When their father got bit, Mika comforted Lizzie and tried to calm her down. She counted to two with her when Carol was about to kill their father in mercy. She does seem intolerant with her sister’ somewhat erratic behavior, calling her ‘stupid’ when Lizzie got upset over the walker she had named being killed.

Carol Peletier, — adoptive mother. After Ryan Samuels’ death, Carol is now Mika and Lizzie’s adoptive mother. When Carol tries to lift Lizzie’s spirits after her father’s death, Mika tells her that Lizzie is “messed up,” which makes Carol uneasy.

ALIGNMENT: Rick Grimes. STATUS: Taken.
