Lizbea Lloyd

Name Given at Birth: Elizabeth Beatrice "Lizbea" Lloyd

Nicknames: Lizbea, Beth, Liz

Hometown or where you were born: Canterbury

Current Residence: In the castle with Master Leopold Bloom in Middlesex out side of London

Age: 16

Class: Upper Middle

What do you do, your main function in life/society: I work for lord Leopold Bloom and it is my duty to make him as happy as possible and to serve him, though I may be a little defiant at times which does get me into a bit of trouble here and there.

Have you ever gone skinny-dipping / do you know how to swim: I have not gone skinny dipping, but strangely enough I do know how to swim, even though the stream is dried up in Canterbury. Thanks to Floyd and Elaine. Floyd taught Elaine how to swim, who taught me.

Do you make fun of people: Aye, but I do regret it most of the time. I should learn better to hold my tongue.

Favorite Color: I like three main colors. Sapphire, emerald, and ruby. They are more elegant than the plain blue, green, and red. They are deeper and richer, if you will.

Have you ever committed or been convicted of a crime: Nay. I get into enough trouble as it is without being convicted of a crime, I wouldn’t need to.

Closest friends/How did you meet:

• A close friend of mine would be Mary Eliot. She is my lord Leopold Bloom’s personal advisor. She keeps me out of trouble most of the time. But she can’t keep me out of it all the time.
• Catherine Hughes: I am from Canterbury, and I have friends there I don’t get to see except during the harvest when we come back. Catherine and I used to have so much fun together. She was my best friend up until I moved into the castle. I intend on seeing her every chance I get this fall and catching up. From what I have heard, she has become the milkmaid for the town and it is rumored it is the best milk ever. I really hope she doesn’t think that I will not talk to her because of my social ranking now. I am still the same person I was when I lived in Canterbury.
• Aiden Joliai: Again, another child hood friend before I was in service to my lord. He, Cat, and I used to have a little group. We were basically always together. It has been too long since I have seen the boy, and I am sorry for this. I am curious to see what has become of him. I have heard much about the butcher’s son, and I would like to see him again. For old times sake, of course.
• Giacomo: He is the queen’s jester, and I find I laugh the hardest when I am around him. That is of course to be expected. When he is not on duty, he is very sensible and easy to talk to.

One Pillow or two: I sleep with one. Tis better that I get one instead of none when I still lived with my father. The elder of the children thought they had rights that I didn’t. It would always be a fight to see who got the pillows.

Pets: None. I wouldn’t have much time for a pet. My work is my business, and whatever gossip comes around is my business as well, and since I do errands for my lord, I have a lot of business.

Favorite Type of Music: I enjoy all types of music. I find it very entertaining to hear anything that involves such talent. My favorite would have to be a bit of the violin. Especially the gypsy violin. I love watching the gypsies dance, but I don’t think my master would like to hear that.

Hobbies/Pastimes: A hobby of mine is looking at the beaux. They do send my heart a twitter, especially if I catch them looking at me.

Personal Hygiene: Oh, every two to three days. I represent his lordship who expects me to be cleanly.

Favorite Food: I would have to say I love berries. Any kind of berries. I am exceptionally fond of blue berries though.

Are your parents alive, do you get along with them: I don’t get to see my father much, but when I do speak with him or hear from him, I do. I miss him sorely.

If your parents are dead, when and how did they die: My mother died of a fever when I was 14. A tragedy that struck my father horribly. He moved from Canterbury to London. I never lived there. I was asked to serve Master Bloom when I was 14. It’s probably better for the business that he resides in a bigger, more lively area now.

Favorite place to relax: When I do get to relax, I like to relax by just taking a walk around where I may be. I just love to walk. Seldom is the chance I get to do this, but it does happen.

Favorite Holy Day / Why: My favorite Holy Day would most probably be Christmas. Though most everyone else I know loves Easter, I love Christmas because it is supposedly the day of birth for the Lord Jesus, and everyone in the castle is more like a family.

Favorite Drink: I would have to say I love wine. I like it more on the sweet side.

What's your bedtime: When either I am dismissed from day’s work, if this be the case, then I stay up for a while or take a walk just thinking, or until my lord is asleep.

What, if anything, do you usually wear on your feet: Durable leather shoes. Shoes I can easily maneuver my work in.

Are you married or single: Aye, single at the moment. I do have my eye out for a certain boy as I am sure he has an eye out for me.

Do you have a family / who are they: I do have a family. My mother, Colleen Lloyd deceased, died of fever two years ago, and father, Gabriel Lloyd is a merchant living in London after moving there when Mother died. My elder brother, Floyd Lloyd is married and is well off with his own business as a carpenter. My elder sister, Elaine, is happily married a little ways from here. My younger brother, Victor, is still living with Father, learning how to be a merchant himself and will one day take over my father’s business. I don’t understand why Floyd didn’t take it though… I thought it was custom for the eldest son to take the father’s business…

Favorite Entertainment: Dances! I love to dance!

Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: My favorite chore? Well… I really didn’t have to do much. Floyd or Elaine was usually in charge of keeping papa’s shop tidy.

Least Favorite Subject in School or Chore growing up: Out of the things I had to do, I hated making the beds.

Favorite Sport: I love watching the knights Joust. I don’t often get to do that, but it does excite me so.

Most Humiliating Moment: My most humiliating moment would have to be… I can’t really recall. I’m not easily embarrassed. But if I were ever to be embarrassed… no, no… I can’t think of anything. I probably ran into a door or something as a child and cannot remember.

Proudest Moment: When my lord asked me to assist him as his servant. It was something that made me feel like I am actually worth something to someone.

Craziest Person or silliest you know: Oh, probably Giacomo, Her Majesties Royal Jester. He is so much fun to watch and he’s just naturally so strange and good humored.

What do you look for in the opposite sex: I do believe I’m too much of a flirt. I like being around men in general, but what I look for in a potential partner is sweetness, someone who is not cruel and will respect me. Fat chance in a man treating me as an equal, but I can still hope.

In our Hierarchical Society everybody has somebody "over" them, Who is your immediate "overlord" : My overlord would be Master Bloom.

Favorite Sport to watch: Again, Jousting. It takes much bravery to be a knight and to joust, and to be good at it must mean you have a lot of talent.

Do you remember your first kiss: Aye. I do, ‘tis something that will remain in my memory forever.

Do you keep in touch with your childhood friends: I wish I could, but I do not have much time to talk with them, much less see them. I travel where ever my lord goes. But during the harvest, I do try and see my friends from only a few years past.

Where your favorite "Vacation" spot is: I do love to go back to Canterbury when we do go to the Harvest Faire.

Have you ever been overseas: Yes, I follow my lord wherever he may go and he has gone over seas.

Do you have Dirt/Mud floors or Stone: Stone. I live in a castle with my lord and the other servants.

What is your bed made of: Straw, cloth, and ropes.

How many people sleep in your bed: Sometimes two people, including me, sometimes just myself.
