AU NAME: Elizabeth 'Beth' Lehmann AU AGE: 23 AU OCCUPATION: Cellist, Semi-Pro soccer player BLURB: Elizabeth is Anna's little sister (with prior permission from celene, of course). She hasn't actually seen her sister since Anna dropped contact with her family, of course, and actually first came to Recolle specifically with the intention of searching for her. Two years of no luck had left her all but defeated in that endeavor, until a new social media app presented a potentially new jumping point for her search.
Much like Anna, Elizabeth grew up under the shadow of their parents, a guiding hand directing her towards academic and extracurricular achievement. Unlike her older sister, however, Elizabeth was given a little more freedom in her choices, something that only increased after Anna's separation from the family. After all, they wouldn't want Elizabeth to end up like Anna, and while her parents weren't sure how to repair their relationship with their eldest, they were certain to make sure that they didn't make the same mistakes.
With a well-established track record of drive to succeed and a personality that lent itself well towards obeying her parents, Elizabeth soared. She was able to drop away the extracurriculars she wasn't interested in-soccer being the only non-orchestral one she kept, as she enjoyed both the exercise and the competition-and focus heavily on her music. While some critics considered her playing to lack in emotional depth, the technical prowess she displayed led to most who heard her considering her more than capable; they assumed that that extra depth would come with time.
College, at least, was not that time. She left the state to attend a prestigious music program, and thanks to AP credits covering a fair number of her gen ed. requirements, finished the degree in three years. When she was offered an opportunity in Recolle, both to move closer to her home again and to actually live in the city proper, Elizabeth jumped at the chance. Now, she teaches cello both at the university and as a private tutor. She also performs when she gets the chance-most often in string quartets, though performing solo, in duet with piano, or as part of an orchestra is not unheard of.
Some other quick tidbits: Unlike in the game, she's, obviously enough, human. Her hair is a pale blonde, not too far from its white canon color, and while she still has her hourglass figure, it isn't quite so exaggerated.
She still participates in a city soccer league, as well, of the semi-pro variety. It's not enough money to live on alone (nor would Elizabeth want it to be) but the extra money is nice, and she enjoys the sport very much.
That 'emotional depth' missing from her style still really isn't there, and is a large part of the reason she prefers to work in a quartet instead of solo.
Had a bad experience with her first boyfriend in high school, and hasn't really tried a relationship since then.
Goes by 'Beth' with friends and family.
Other hobbies tend towards those with a competitive aspect, ranging from video games to reading (summer reading programs are srs bsns.)
LOOKING FOR: Friends, Rivals, Friendly Rivals. Maybe somebody from her past, be it from the place she grew up a few hours out of Recolle or from college. Coworkers (be it in performing music or teaching it) or teammates. She's not really the 'past lovers' sort, though if you'd really like to occupy the spot of being the one past relationship (male or female or anything in between when she can actually be bothered with romance she's pan) hmu, I don't have anything specific planned beyond the breakup being messy. Students. She hasn't been performing quite so long that it's likely per se, but fans (or patrons?) are options too.
