Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... a reclusive pyrokinetic. Though who could blame Liz for being a little shy? It's hard to stay a "people person" after spontaneously blowing up a city block as a child. After that unpleasantness, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense took her in. They hire Liz and her telepathic control of fire to help fight otherworldly monsters, creatures, and forces for the occult.
Personality... introverted, guilt-ridden, and extremely dangerous. She's been able to help the world through her work in the BPRD, but she has never been able to put her past behind her. The only person who really understands her is her childhood friend Hellboy, whose life has been similarly, for lack of a better term, hellish.
Get to Know her in...
