xxxxxPersonal Information
Personality: Liddie is, to put it bluntly, a social creature. She enjoys the spotlight and social events, and loves making and keeping friends. Liddie just wants everyone around her to be happy and have fun. Is that so difficult? She's not interested in long winded philosophical conversations, or talking about the future or the past. Liddie lives firmly in the here and now, and thrives on the practical and the mundane. An altruist at heart, she believes in helping others and doing the right thing, and her moral compass is based on what she's been taught to be true. She is much more comfortable upholding pre-established traditions and rules than questioning or flouting them, and it's hard for her to understand that not everyone has been raised the way she has. Liddie is loyal and works hard, so long as she knows she is being appreciated; she thrives on praise and is very used to receiving it. She's extremely supportive of other people and can usually find something in common with everyone she meets. She hates hearing people argue, and is very sensitive to any tension in the air, which makes her all the more likely to try to keep the peace. Liddie also likes to keep things organized; she is a very neat person and loves to plan things ahead of time; she doesn't like surprises and is not one for spontaneous, wild ideas. Above all, Liddie enjoys feeling that she belongs, and will do whatever seems necessary to fit into a group; the idea of being a loner or outcast terrifies her. She has a strong sense of duty and what is expected of her, and would hate to disappoint anyone. Liddie is also a bit preoccupied with social status and what others think of her, and is extremely cautious of going against the grain or being viewed as anything other than normal. Not at ease with stepping out of her own comfort zone, Liddie can be overly critical of others in an attempt to feel better about herself, and her feelings are easily hurt when others poke at her own values and beliefs. Mostly she just wants to be noticed and told that she is worth something, which influences her actions quite a bit.

xxxxxPast
Background Information: Liddie is the second daughter and youngest child of a pastor and his wife, born and for the most part raised in the Suffolk village of Haverhill. The Spencer household was not just religious, but devoutly religious, where prayer and regular study of the Bible in its entirety was not only encouraged but required. Liddie attends a religious school, and it has always seemed to her that her family spends more time in church than out of it, beyond just the usual Sunday morning service. This has always been normal for their family, just like choir practice and attendance of every church event. When Liddie was five her family traveled to South Africa as missionaries, which she viewed as an exciting adventure at the time, but she's been shaken by some of things that have started to happen around her since she got back. While she has always believed in miracles, these instances don't always seem like acts of God. A girl in the washroom at school called Liddie a name, and the water the girl was washing her hands in turned steaming hot in an instant. She woke up from a nightmare to find the lights in her room flickering on and off sporadically. When the choir instructor scolded her in front of all her friends and classmates, suddenly every note the woman was playing on the piano every immediately sounded flat. Not everything that happens around Liddie is upsetting or unnerving, but as someone brought up to view good and evil as literal forces warring for control over her soul, this has her wondering. She has settled for completely denying anything strange has been happening to her, and hopes that if she just ignores whatever it is for long enough, it will go away and leave her alone.
