AN: Been really sick (again) so I'm missing the last installment of Liz a.k.a Anxious Engineer, but it's just how her mind changes as she gets older and has a partner and a family. So I decided to keep going on with them and to insert it when it's done.

I have 3 for Sinon and her overview done so I hope I'll be recovered enough and inspired to finish her and go onto the next set.

Cast Files: Anxious Engineer - Lisbeth Overview

Name: Rika Shinozaki "Lisbeth/Liz"

Zodiac: Leo - August 17th

Descriptor: Unbreakable Loyal Shield

Sexuality: Bisexual & Switch

Liz has a tendency to subconsciously shape and hone her romantic and sexual behaviors toward her partner and or the person she's in love with and can't shake off. She's a very intense lover and partner with the amount of emotion she carries packed into her playful and flirty body and mind. That being said, the intensity is doubled if she has a romantic connection with said partner (I.E a crush, longing for, silently loving, fallen hard for, or in a relationship with) and her style depends purely on her partner.

She's not the type to have many flings or one-night stands, as she prefers to keep her high drive to herself unless intoxicated and her self-control is weakened, but she's known to have platonic partners here and there out of a need to not be alone and to feel bonded with someone. When her anxiety is controlled and she's less stressed she's more of a typical young adult and siezes the opportunity to explore, learn, and be a people pleaser.

Liz is very sensitive and easily switched on. Which she's really embarrassed about and vehemently hides any signs with the practice of someone who has a drive that is higher when she's stressed and is always stressed out.

She loses her voice during and tries to keep it down but it doesn't usually work by herself unless she's focusing really hard. Part of why she avoids partners of the same gender as her love interest is she has a tendency to subconsciously whimper the first syllable of her love interest's name, just another sign of how hard she loves.

Romantic Tendencies: She loves, hard. Like falling a hundred feet hard.

Liz is a sweet, highly attentive partner in a relationship. She only wants to make them happy, so she's always watching, trying to keep their mood level or pleased and subconsciously adjusted her energy levels depending on who she's with. As she's keenly observant and doesn't want to exhaust them. She's aware she's a handful and a hand and is very self-conscious and anxious about it. So she pairs better with someone who watches closely and can keep her from getting trapped in her own head out of fear, anxiety, and self-imposed guilt about not being enough.

Due to her past experiences and how she wants a real partner, someone who will love her for all of who she is and won't leave, Liz believes she's cursed with romance.

Love Languages: Physical Touch is number one and sits above everything else.

Brushing her hand, leaning against her, giving her romantic affection, snuggling with her, and pleasing the hot fire she burns with is the fastest and most effective way to make her feel loved and appreciated. Her other languages are: Quality Time, Words, & Gifts.

Most Important Concept: Forever Companionship.

The most important thing to Liz is having a companion and not just a companion. She wants a partner that will stick with her through thick and thin and do their best to understand her. Having someone she can share her life with, who will accept all of her, loves her unconditionally, and understands that she needs to be shoved a bit before she'll let the walls break down, is really what she lives for.

Simple Physical Individualized Description: Fluffy brown curly hair that's stylish in a playfully messy way with fringe and bangs but her ears are fully visible. Brown eyes the color of melted milk chocolate that wrinkle at the corners when she smiles. Tanned skin from her love of being outside or in front of a forge (request detail for further explanation) and freckles all over her skin that give her a softer, more approachable and friendly appearance. Well, that and it gives her lover something to do while she's reeling.

Rika is the tallest of the girls, being four inches taller than Asuna and one taller than Alice, she stands at 5' 9" (American bias) and has a model-like figure that's an hourglass focus with a slight narrower hips than shoulders and chest. She's well defined and easily the most muscled and toned of the girls with Argo being right behind her.

Liz is internally, silently body conscious. She's self-conscious and afraid of her body despite her front and it takes breaking out and embracing the girl side of her she had been afraid of for so long, to overcome it.

Visual Personality Traits: Being silly, flirty, and playful is a major part of who Liz is. She loves being the center of attention around other people so long as she's showing off how ridiculous, playful, or chaotic she can be. For her, being the center of attention in this light means that they don't have time to look through her and see the anxiety and pain she's hiding. At the same time, she's a major people pleaser. Liz just wants to see her friends and family happy and tends to forget to include herself within that statement.

Much to her irritation she has a soul crushing temper and has a tendency to bottle things up till that hellish temper lashes out both verbally and or physically. She gets into fights a lot as a kid and a young teenager, struggling to control her emotions and especially the monster inside of her.

She's a very sweet, loving and gentle soul beneath the loud, exuberant and chaotic parts of her personality that she cranks up to eleven around other people as a defense mechanism.

Essentually, Liz is the perfect example of… there's more than meets the eye.

Hidden Traits: Liz is highly anxious and worries about what people think. The longer she's alone and is hit in the face with the knowledge that she just can't find a partner and someone to walk with her, the worse it gets. So she lives in an endless cycle, one of looking around and seeing everyone be happy while she has a knife in her heart slowly twisting to kill her. She bottles it all up and masks it so well that it's very rare for people to see through the facade until she bursts or breaks down.

She's extremely shy and hesitant to make the first move when she has a lot of emotional investiment in something or someone, but unless she's completely alone with them, masks it so it's invisible.

Achilles Heel: Feeling forever inadequate and a burden to others.

Liz just wants to be strong, she wants to be someone that everyone can lean on, love, and go to whenever they need something. She wants to be everyone's protector, their friend, their rock that can't budge, but bitterly knows that beneath the thick walls, she can't be that.

Not while in her eyes, she's a permanent burden.

Quirks:

Liz loves so hard that it's difficult for her to keep her hands to herself and periodically gets in trouble for being impulsive.

She's hilarious impulsive about very specific things, namely: her romantic partner, protecting her friends and family, dying to show her partner how much she really loves them, and her love for metal and engineering.

Liz is super smart. She was in the beginning part of engineering courses before SAO and after SAO she's embarrassed and anxious about her intelligence so she keeps it hidden, playing dumb out of anxiety.

She's a heavy romantic but tailors the term toward her partner's view of romance.

Being a heavy sleeper, Liz grumbles in her sleep and can sleep through almost anything. Well, except her partner of course.

Making her parents proud is a key part of why she does what she does as she grows up.

Liz is loyal to a fault and doesn't understand the way people think regarding being unfaithful and abandoning people. Which is what makes it hurt even more.

Calling her a gymrat is a soft term, as Rika uses exercise and motion to keep her brain whirring at the speed she wants with a laser focus. Which is why she owns work out equipment in her office and studio, but also why she's so receptive during sex, as she's trained her brain that motion means she has to focus and be detailed.
