Birthdate - between Sept & Nov 1983
Liz's birthdate it is never mentioned, but through a series of deductions made while I was researching dates, I think this is probably correct. Take a deep breath, it is bumpy ride!

Future Max mentions that Liz is seventeen in EOTW, which is set in late November of 2000. From that we can figure that she was born in 1983.

So she turned 17 before the end of Nov 2000, and Liz is still seventeen in season 3 'Busted' when she is on trial which doesn't have an exact date, but takes place sometime after school started in Aug of 2001.

In New Mexico, anyone who is 5 years old after Aug 31st must wait an extra year to start school, and that seems to be what Liz had to do. She was born in 1983, and Alex, Maria and Kyle were all born in 1984 but they are in the same grade. This makes me think that Liz must have been born in Sept or later and waited a year to go to school.

Answers to Topolsky's questions (M)
TOPOLSKY: Dream Job?
Liz: molecular biologist, dream, dream job, head of molecular biology at Harvard


TOPOLSKY: Where do you actually see yourself in 10 years
Liz: molecular biologist

(this didn't appear in the show but was in a supposedly earlier version of the script)
TOPOLSKY: Tell me which character in this drawing is the most like you and tell me what they're doing at the park. LIZ (pointing): Oh, I used to do that all the time.


TOPOLSKY: Build sandcastles?
LIZ (animated): I tried for weeks to build one of those turrets because you can't have a real castle without a turret. I even made my Dad take me to the library and get a book on sandcastles. All I had to do was follow the directions. It took a few tries, but once my friends did what I told them to do, voila! We had a turret.
(realizing) I mean, it's not like I forced them to or anything. It was more like a team and I was like the team leader.


TOPOLSKY: The one with the plan.
LIZ: Exactly. By the end of the summer I planned a whole city and the newspaper came and took a picture of it.

Liz describes herself as the smallest of small town girls, believing she is nothing special. She is intelligent, a straight-A student on track to being valedictorian, especially good in science, and plans a career in Biology. She works as a waitress in her family's restaurant, and dates a jock in her high school.

Liz comes from a happy home with parents who love and support her. She is a good girl and always does what her parents expect, but she is also a romantic and adventuresome. She has friends and joins in at school but isn't really in the popular crowd.

She is calm, a thinker, a planner, organized, focuses on what needs to be done and how to accomplish it. Every situation has a plan and there is no acting on impulse.

Her own rules are broken, however when she is shot and healed by Max, who begs her to keep quiet about what he did. Instead of telling everyone about Max, she keeps it to herself, starting a friendship and romance between them.
