'''Elizabeth Shirogane''' (エリザベス 白金), born Elizabeth Kathryn Beaumont, is the mother of [[Shirogane Ryou]] (also [[Shirogane Shuugo]] and [[Shirogane Kumo|Kumo]] in other dimensions) and wife to [[Shirogane Jishou]]. She is a minor character in the [[Kokoro]] world, noted mostly for her love of flowers. She is also one of the few human characters that appear. Liz is bilingual (Japanese and English) and is known for being severely directionally challenged.

==History==
 +
===Before Kokoro===
 +
Elizabeth was born in America. Her maternal grandparents owned ClearMount Orchard in the New York countryside, and she'd often help out there along with her big sister, [[Dahlila Beaumont|Dahlila]],  and their older cousin Trent. Her father was a businessman while her mother stayed at home with the children. She was especially close to Dahlila who would constantly push Elizabeth to "aim big" and seek out the best that life had to offer her. However, Liz never wanted the stardom that Dahlila sought. Liz was a daydreamer who looked for adventure in the world around her. The brook could be a door to another world or the barn could be an auditorium full of people waiting for her to perform a solo number.
 +
 +
Liz's love of flowers came very young when she spent a day at her grandfather's workplace. The [[Beaumont Flower Shoppe]] had been a present to his late wife, and after walking Liz around the place, she was instantly enchanted. She took special interest in roses, which had been her grandmother's favorite flowers.
 +
 +
In high school Elizabeth began working at the flower shop with her best friend [[Kotoko Mizuhara|Kotoko]] after school. Here she was introduced to the new Japanese exchange student, when he was brought in by Kotoko's boyfriend, [[Max Mizuhara]], to buy flowers for his relatives.
 +
 +
Though Liz initially thought [[Shirogane Jishou]] was a spoiled rich kid with an affinity for trouble, her affection for the red-haired boy quickly grew, and following a series of infamous pranks known as [[Operation Black Roses]], the two gradually became friends, and began dating sometime later - though Liz was often too stubborn to express the full extent of her feelings for him.
 +
 +
Liz was very distraught as her high school years came to a close, finding an engagement ring in a bouquet of roses, yet no Jishou (he had gone back to Japan to ask permission to marry her). She eventually decided to pull her own prank in order to get him back for his disappearance. The two did marry in the end and had a son, [[Shirogane Ryou|Ryou]], after Jishou finished college.
 +
 +
Life was somewhat peaceful after that. Things were taken at a relatively slow pace until the day the Chimera Anima attacked the [[Shirogane Mansion|mansion]]. Liz was actually thrown out of the building due to an explosion and a little shove on Shou's part. She was eventually found and rushed to the hospital, where her burns were treated. However, as she began to realize all that had happened, Liz fell into a severe state of shock and depression, too afraid that Ryou might be dead as well. Though Liz did suffer illness, her amnesia was actually faked. The fire was something she didn't ''want'' to remember.
 +
 +
===Kokoro Days===
 +
One of the doctors, Dr. [[Zachary Andrews]], recognized Elizabeth some years later and phoned Shirogane Ryou about it. Initially, Ryou believed this whole thing was a horrible joke, but finally went to see for himself, where he was reunited with her. (Aside from some nerve damage in her lower back, where she has no feeling, Liz has essentially been returned to normal.)
 +
 +
The two later discovered (thanks to Max) that the Beaumont Flower Shoppe had been obtained by a person who bore an eerie resemblance to Jishou. When they visited the shop, they found none other than [[Shirogane Jishou|James Beaumont]] who was suffering from amnesia. He was able to recognize Elizabeth fairly quickly during his journey to recovery.
 +
 +
As of Valentines Day 2007 she has been residing with her husband at his apartment. She works the flowershop on weekends and is helping out with Operation Christmas Child in her spare time.

Liz is generally a caring individual, but is quick to scold. She pretty much lives her life by the book. Liz is also extremely stubborn and hot-tempered - something that can happen with little warning. Because of Jishou's carefree attitude and tendency to pull pranks on people, Liz tends to argue with her husband more frequently than she would like to, claiming that he never takes things seriously, though she's aware this isn't entirely the case. Most people might not realize it, but she actually relies on Shou a lot, though the full depth of her attachment to him remains somewhat unspoken.

[edit] History

[edit] Before Kokoro

Elizabeth was born in America. Her maternal grandparents owned ClearMount Orchard in the New York countryside, and she'd often help out there along with her big sister, Dahlila, and their older cousin Trent. Her father was a businessman while her mother stayed at home with the children. She was especially close to Dahlila who would constantly push Elizabeth to "aim big" and seek out the best that life had to offer her. However, Liz never wanted the stardom that Dahlila sought. Liz was a daydreamer who looked for adventure in the world around her. The brook could be a door to another world or the barn could be an auditorium full of people waiting for her to perform a solo number.

Liz's love of flowers came very young when she spent a day at her grandfather's workplace. The Beaumont Flower Shoppe had been a present to his late wife, and after walking Liz around the place, she was instantly enchanted. She took special interest in roses, which had been her grandmother's favorite flowers.

In high school Elizabeth began working at the flower shop with her best friend Kotoko after school. Here she was introduced to the new Japanese exchange student, when he was brought in by Kotoko's boyfriend, Max Mizuhara, to buy flowers for his relatives.

Though Liz initially thought Shirogane Jishou was a spoiled rich kid with an affinity for trouble, her affection for the red-haired boy quickly grew, and following a series of infamous pranks known as Operation Black Roses, the two gradually became friends, and began dating sometime later - though Liz was often too stubborn to express the full extent of her feelings for him.

Liz was very distraught as her high school years came to a close, finding an engagement ring in a bouquet of roses, yet no Jishou (he had gone back to Japan to ask permission to marry her). She eventually decided to pull her own prank in order to get him back for his disappearance. The two did marry in the end and had a son, Ryou, after Jishou finished college.

Life was somewhat peaceful after that. Things were taken at a relatively slow pace until the day the Chimera Anima attacked the mansion. Liz was actually thrown out of the building due to an explosion and a little shove on Shou's part. She was eventually found and rushed to the hospital, where her burns were treated. However, as she began to realize all that had happened, Liz fell into a severe state of shock and depression, too afraid that Ryou might be dead as well. Though Liz did suffer illness, her amnesia was actually faked. The fire was something she didn't want to remember.

[edit] Kokoro Days

One of the doctors, Dr. Zachary Andrews, recognized Elizabeth some years later and phoned Shirogane Ryou about it. Initially, Ryou believed this whole thing was a horrible joke, but finally went to see for himself, where he was reunited with her. (Aside from some nerve damage in her lower back, where she has no feeling, Liz has essentially been returned to normal.)

The two later discovered (thanks to Max) that the Beaumont Flower Shoppe had been obtained by a person who bore an eerie resemblance to Jishou. When they visited the shop, they found none other than James Beaumont who was suffering from amnesia. He was able to recognize Elizabeth fairly quickly during his journey to recovery.

As of Valentines Day 2007 she has been residing with her husband at his apartment. She works the flowershop on weekends and is helping out with Operation Christmas Child in her spare time.

She died in this timeline.

[edit] Personality

Liz is generally a caring individual, but is quick to scold. She pretty much lives her life by the book. Liz is also extremely stubborn and hot-tempered - something that can happen with little warning. Because of Jishou's carefree attitude and tendency to pull pranks on people, Liz tends to argue with her husband more frequently than she would like to, claiming that he never takes things seriously, though she's aware this isn't entirely the case. Most people might not realize it, but she actually relies on Shou a lot, though the full depth of her attachment to him remains somewhat unspoken.

If you do get on her bad side, a few flowers should be enough to be granted forgiveness. Usually. Though she angers easily enough, she's not one to hold a grudge.

Liz can keep a secret from most people. Like Ryou, Elizabeth tends to worry quite a bit, although she does a slightly better job at hiding it.

Though she disapproves of pranks, she's not above bending the rules of the game. She likes acting and can be fairly convincing if given the opportunity. Liz is a romantic at heart and possesses an adventurous streak (which usually ends her up in the middle of nowhere).

She does have one pet peeve, however, and that is when people give her nicknames without permission, particularly "Lizzy", as that was the name given to her by her late grandfather and she wishes to honor his memory by not allowing anyone else to call her by it.
