Liza Bennet

Based on the main character of the Jane Austen novel “Pride and Prejudice,” Liza Bennet is the second of five daughters from a middle-class English family from Hertfordshire, in East England. Although she is often described as the second prettiest daughter after her older sister Jane, she is a quiet beauty; Pleasing; a “girl next door” kind of pretty—plain but attractive. She is thin, fair-skinned, has dark expressive eyes, and slightly curly brown hair usually worn in some variation of a low bun. Though she is the least favorite of her mother’s daughters, her mother still is overly concerned with the fact that she hasn’t married yet. She has her move with her older sister Jane to London to find love. This is a millennial, current day, adaptation of the classic character. An avid learner, she studied journalism and English Literature at University. She was also interested in psychology and sociology, taking a few classes here and there. She found a job with a publishing company and also has an opinion column in the local paper. She is fairly active, as she loves to go on jogs/runs. She is more often than not found wearing plain clothing: jeans; sneakers, plain shirts, blouses, and sweaters; minimal if any jewelry. She often carries a bag with her with a book and something to write in.
