Tell us about Ms Lizzy Jefferson (nice Founding Father ref btw!) She seems like a badass SoleSu and I'd love to know more about her! What's she look like, her favorite guns that kinda thing? :D

Swear I didn’t see this ask until now! Thank you for asking about my Sole 💗 sorry bout the long answer; I talk way too much. as always, anons always appreciated xx

Appearance

Tbh I’m still trying to pinpoint her exact facial features because I like to make things complicated for myself haha. Brown eyes with thick lashes + brows are defined in such a way that she carries around a look of annoyance. Heavy usage of eyeliner—think 60’s—. Uses soot n oil to create the pigment as premade cosmetics just…aren’t a thing anymore lol. heart shaped face, nose is pretty Italian (lady gaga is a good reference) and her lips are full, but not necessarily large. Slender neck, pronounced collar bones. Pierced ears (she too has a thing for gold but she’s more into delicate/subtle jewelry and also has an appreciation for silver as well). I actually found a post that has the exact hair color n style that I envision so that’ll be popping up shortly as a reblog lol.

She’s a good 5’3, likes to wear heels/pumps but post war makes that incredibly impractical so she settles for loafer-esque/or combat boot-esque unless there’s a special occasion or she’s feeling particularly extra that day. If she’s lounging in her apartment/ john’s quarters then she’s usually barefoot, much to the dismay of John (tho he secretly finds it endearing).

Clothing wise I’m sorta in the same boat as I am with facial features; I.e, trying to pinpoint the exact aesthetic she wears. She’s not exactly picky as long as she can still maintain some sense of style, but definitely more put together than others in the populous.

Summer/spring wise, I’d say something similar to this (though she usually wears trousers if not intending to stay inside).

Fall/winter is bulkier, naturally. The cold is worse post nuclear fallout, so layers are essential. Has a prewar faux fur coat that is cherished deeply.

Backstory - Pre War

Born into an relatively well off family. Father was an up and comer who managed to get into the inner working of hornwright industries and become a rather decent confidant of Hornwright. Mother was an unstable SAHW who was usually nursing a bottle of wine and was bound to fits of rage, most, if not all, lizzy faced the brunt of. This in turn made her relatively shy, but birthed an equally unhealthy ability to throw tantrums when overstimulated. While her father did dote on her, it’s unknown to her if he ignored her mothers mistreatment or simply was too work obsessed to notice.

Started drinking at 15 and took to hanging out with equally rebellious boys and girls from the town of Beckley. In 2071, she moved out at the age of 18 to a trailer park located on the outskirts of the city, using money saved up from an allowance to purchase a trailer. Worked as a waitress at Sal’s and go go danced at the bar on the weekends. Dabbled in drugs, got fucked up on alcohol, made out with many men.

In 2073, she was forced to move back home as her parents were threatening to cut off her bank account access when she refused to spend the holidays with them—mainly her mother. Upon finding out of her substance abuse, she was shipped to Massachusetts per her father’s pleas to his brother’s home in Sanctuary Hills.

Traditional in values, the hope was to establish Lizzy as a proper woman and kick her dependencies. She had a strict curfew, was not allowed income other than what her parents provided, and was required to attend rigorous AA meetings. Fall of that year Lizzie started attending Mass Bay University to major in philosophy and graduated with a bachelor’s one month before the bombs fell.

Backstory - post war

Upon defrosting and discovering she to be the only survivor of the vault, Lizzy managed to trudge her way to the surface, only to black out and wake up to a twitchy woman poking her with a stick.

Cricket, as Lizzy so finds out, is a trader (chem dealer) who’s willing to bring her along to Diamond City (she pretends to know what that is) under the condition she doesn’t interrupt her dealings along the way. Lizzy obliges, experiences what is now the commonwealth and two headed cows, and is dumped off at the diamond city market where she meets Piper.

Misc.

Has a thing for antiques (as she herself is one) so she’ll try and go scavenging near Goodneighbor, or will accompany John when he has to travel / is out with the hunting party (quite literal here—no murderous undertones lol). Also will buy things with the caps she makes from Daisy.

She’s honestly not much of a gun person, but John has shown her how to shoot a hunting rifle and a basic 10 mm in case there’s ever a need to defend herself, and she fancies slinging the rifle with her wherever she goes. She also likes watching John clean his black powder rifle, and refuses to try it out, despite his insistent laugh riddled begging.

On the topic of weapons, she prefers blades. Switchblades/hunting knives are her favorite

Refuses to smoke anything other than menthols

Author Notes

Lizzy is heavily inspired by Lana del Rey’s Lizzy Grant era (the first name is entirely coincidental) and the aesthetic surrounding it. I’ve been wanting to play around with the idea for a while and when listening to the album which accompanies this era (kill kill, for k pt 2, and jump are so Johnny) I finally decided to commit to it.

This fic is definitely my most ambitious, what with my plans for world building and characterization. I’m a sucker for slice of life and that’s exactly what I plan for this to be. No general of the minutemen, no hero of the commonwealth, or destroyer of the institute. Just a woman out of time watching humanity endure and a certain ghoul conquer 🤓

Find a location that speaks to you, immerse yourself in things you can learn from, challenge yourself to be better. I’ve been thinking about shooting intentionally, and it’s something that runs very deep. The deluge of images created, posted, and swiped past every day makes me hope that there is still intention within every photo. Photography is an art, it’s not clicking a camera, it’s not adding a filter. It’s about noticing things, and composition, and using light, and telling a story. With blog photography, or travel photography, or even iPhone photography, I hope that people still take them time to cherish that fact that we have this amazing ability to capture and image - that’s a gift. We are stopping a moment in time and keeping it for ourselves, so make it matter, and please don’t take it for granted. #lifestyled #beckleyco #beckley #travelblog #dallasblogger #boston #vsco #vscotravel #thatsdarling #darlingmovement #darlingdaily (at Boston, Massachusetts)
