Lizzy Flynn

Lizzy Flynn is a character role-played by Aradaraman.

Lizzy Flynn, a 28-year-old therapist that has moved to Los Santos from Australia. She grew up in Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia. She lived with her older brother, Travis, younger sister, Rose, her mother, Ruby, and her father, Noah. Throughout life, Lizzy watched as she would get bullied and no one was there to help her. Her brother was too busy trying to join the popular groups that wanted nothing to do with him. Rose was too young to understand and too young to be worrying about her older sister. Her mother was too involved with being a socialite that she often forgot to take care of the kids. Her father was too concerned with making money at his dealership, whether it was legit or laundered. She never wanted any part of that anyway, and her father never brought his work home. They probably do not even know he has a family, he surely did not notice Lizzy. Lizzy never wanted to worry anyone with her problems, so even her “friends” were of no use. She often turned to her obsession, pen collecting. She could hide things in the pens, and no one would suspect anything. She hid pages of her diary that she did not need anyone to see. She would make sure to buy any type of pen that she came across, the scratchier to the paper, the better. It was a fixation that was not harmful, and she gained some awesome looking pens, and she was able to hide anything that could be rolled up to fit inside, including money she saved. She was often bullied for her learning disorder, ADHD, and of course her pen obsession. This did not help her anxiety or depression, caused by her ADHD as she later learned in school. Whenever she was actually happy and excited about something, someone would always ask “Lizzy, did you take your meds? You’re acting crazy!” or “What, did someone steal your new pen? Get over it, it is just a pen!” Lizzy lost a few hundred dollars due to forgetting which pen she put it in and that pen ending up lost, somehow. She often learned to keep her head down until she was in University where no one would know her. As University neared, Lizzy started to distance herself from all those she knew so they would not ask or care where she went.

All throughout university, Lizzy would stick to her studies, making sure to not go any further than a casual friendship with anyone around her as she would soon be gone. About a month before graduation, she wrote a letter home stating:

''“Family, if you consider yourselves family, I am graduating next month. I will have my Master’s in Psychology and there is plenty of work to do. However, the work I am looking for will not be here. I am leaving. Leaving home, leaving Australia. Since you were not there for my struggles, you will not be there for when I succeed. I will not inform you where I go, nor will you be able to find me. I have already obtained a fake ID and you will not be able to track me. Thank you for teaching me that I need to help others in my position, so they do not have to endure the same struggles I did, alone. I wish you all well, as it will not do any good to hold a grudge.

Rose, I love you. I am proud of you. Continue to be great and always take the pen. Travis, you’ll find where you belong, one day. Please stop trying to be friends with those that clearly do not want to be your friend. Mom, open your eyes and see that your kids need a mother. Your social life does not come first. Noah, my name is Lizzy, I was your daughter. I honestly don’t think you knew that. Do no try to contact me. By the time you care to read this, I will already be gone. ~Lizzy”''

However, Lizzy did not get a fake ID as she knew that her family would not care to look for her. The day before she graduated, she bought her plane ticket to Los Santos, California and sent her farewell letter. Lizzy graduated from Southern Cross University with her Master’s in Psychology. She now is here to help those in Los Santos with their troubles, as well as continuing to work on her own.
