Profile

She is a known face, despite having been presumed dead for 7 years. Elisabeth spent years as an NYPD officer/detective, was a member of the original SCOUT team (precursor to FRONTLINE), and is a former head of FRONTLINE Manhattan. She's known as a "terrorist"-turned-patriot because of her actions in 2011, former ally of the Ferrymen and Phoenix, and former co-leader of Endgame. With the recommissioning of the NYPD, she has become one of the faces of the new police division as the second-in-command of the new SCOUT division.

Holy GOD, 2011 changed everything…

On November 8, 2011, Elisabeth Harrison was presumed killed in action against Institute holdings in Mount Natazhat, Alaska. Unbeknownst to anyone, that was not the end of her story — it was only the beginning.

Liz and Magnes Varlane were pulled through a singularity into an alternate timeline — one that had been seen/assumed to exist by many people. In this world, the Vanguard's attack on New York had never been stopped, and so the Shanti-Rage Virus was set loose on the world. Desperate to re-create the accident that sent them into this world, Liz and Magnes worked with the Virus analog of Edward Ray. Despite knowing that he had an agenda, Elisabeth felt they had few options. But Sarisa and Richard had taught her well — she didn't merely sit on her hands; she spent the time gathering what intel she could just in case they ever got home. The attempts to open the portal were incredibly dangerous to Mateo Ruiz, though.

When they landed in Bright Future, a place Elisabeth already knew from a time-travel run gone sideways in 2009, she was seriously messed up in the head. For the first few weeks, she really could do nothing except struggled daily to deal with the trauma of all that had happened in the past two months. She held tightly to the last, very unexpected, gift that Richard had given her before she was pulled into Magnes's black hole — the burgeoning life beneath her heart was all she had to live for. Included in her ident papers from Tamara was a recommendation from Tamara for a therapist — she desperately needed to be functional and she used the therapist regularly. She was adamant in those first months that she absolutely could not drag her Bright analog into the knowledge of her presence… and it meant that she also couldn't contact her father. Because he wasn't really her father. Still, there were people that eventually she felt she could touch base with who would keep her presence on the down-low.

Aurora Morgan Cranston was born in late June 2012, about 5 months after the Virus refugees landed in Bright. She came into the world after 36 hours of hard labor, and it was probably the hardest time of Elisabeth's life. Liz was grateful for all the time she had spent with Harmony after the twins were born; she knew how to manage being a single parent after watching Harmony do it. She could figure this out. Aurora was an easy enough baby and toddler, with one interesting quirk: she has a mild form of synesthesia. That is, she sees sounds as colors in the world around her. Doctors in Bright didn't seem terribly concerned about it — it is minor enough to work around as the child ages.

2012 to 2017 was a tough time for Liz, but also a healing time. She had to find a way to live, a way to support herself and her daughter. She took the opportunity to pursue her music in a far more serious fashion than she had ever done before. Truth be told, Bright Future was a fantastic place for her to do so — she learned a lot more about how her power worked and of what it was capable, working with an audio tech who knew a great deal in this "wonderful world" to assist her in learning a vast amount more about her ability than she ever knew before. Kershner's assessment of her facility with her power had been high back home, but here in this place, she learned to manipulate the more subtle aspects of her power with skill and finesse. She primarily used them in the clubs and concerts that she gave, but beneath it all she also knew there might come a time when those skills would come in handy as she continued to seek a way home.

Magnes worked during this time for Pinehurst and Arthur, trying to work out a scientific way home, but when Bright Elisabeth was murdered on Nov. 8, 2014, by (apparently) Arthur and then Magnes was believed killed in explosion orchestrated by Kaito just afterward, Elisabeth turned to Gabriel Gray… and she will regret that decision the rest of her life. Ruiz opened the portal and Gabriel was supposed to study it and potentially help them figure out how to use it. Instead… something inside it, something about the portal itself, drew him so powerfully that Eileen and Elisabeth both tried to pull him out of the thrall. Instead, Eileen was mortally injured in the confrontation and Gabriel gave up the Conduit to save her and died in her place. Mateo and Liz fled, realizing they'd set Kazimir Volken loose on this world. Finding another way out had to be done. Magnes was found to be alive following the escape from Moab that mirrors the one Elisabeth knew about from years ago. And thanks to Cassandra's ability, Felix and Elisabeth became aware that it wasn't Arthur at all but Samson Gray. The time clock on their borrowed time began running a little faster.

In 2016, Samson finally caught up with Elisabeth and Magnes and attacked. Some things have to happen… and Cardinal had managed to get hold of the same virus that killed Arthur in her own timeline. It wasn't going to work until suddenly Odessa Woods arrived on the scene and gave a timely assist — Samson killed her husband, and she wanted her own revenge. Joining forces and biding their time, they all laid low and continued to hide from the forces of the government that searched for them until Nov. 8, 2017, which was the first date Kaito had been able to pinpoint for them to attempt to leave this world. It was during this time that Manuel Rowan-Ruiz and Addie Varlane were stolen from their homes by Eileen's possessed body. Elisabeth is still not entirely certain how the hell they got through the portals, but their kidnapping just drove the group harder to get the heck out of this world. They were forced to fight some of those same government forces on their way up the Deveaux Building, their escape from Bright mirroring their escape from Virus in ways that all of them wished it wouldn't.

Arriving in the Wasteland and taking stock of their situation, Elisabeth finds a great many things have changed from the Wasteland that she learned about in 2010-2011. Everything happened sooner… she finds out why from her own doppelganger, who explains that part of the Natazhat facility had come into Richard Cardinal's possession; he'd learned the monster he'd become and tried to change course, thereby driving the government he was attempting to use for his own ends to turn on him and kill him. So many things, the same and yet so different. Through a glass darkly, indeed. She also finds a surprise twist — Cassandra, the young woman who became Aurora's part-time babysitter/nanny in Bright, had been sucked through the portal that Pinehearst's scientists managed to open. And lo an behold, she landed here. The reunion is bittersweet, adding yet another traveler to the retinue of people who continue onward. The only way to escape in this world was to attempt to get into the Outer District, which was being protected by a Dome. And so…. once again, they are battling their way through a timeline.

Escaping just ahead of a nuclear blast, the group lands in a flooded world that some of them have seen before. In Bright, Kaito had given Liz a lot of information about the erasure of certain events… and the suspicion that this world was in fact the one that she herself and others from her world had actually been born to. She hoped to locate Michelle Cardinal here — the original one. What she never expected was to find her mother still alive in this world. Complicated by the fact that Carina suffered brain damage due to oxygen deprivation in the accident that happened at the same time as 'yank' sideways that carried herself and her father away from this world, Liz doesn't know how to react to all of the emotions that come with this reunion. And their time to do so is limited as well by the fact that Michelle Cardinal must be rescued before she's killed or … assuming Edward Fucking Ray is correct … they will never have another chance to go home. And so they set off, one more time, trying to find a way back to a world that by now Elisabeth is in some ways afraid to return to — what has changed in all these years? Will they even fit? What if so much has changed, they have no home there anymore?

These questions and more have answers in Volume 2.

Determined (Stubborn as hell!!): Richard once called her an optimist, and although Liz isn't sure that word truly applies… she just doesn't know the meaning of giving up. She has seen many things in the past decade — too many of them bad on a scale that most people will never know. And she herself has participated in or been subject to horrifying levels of trauma. How she has come out as strong as she has is testament to both her will to survive and her willingness to accept both the darkness and the light within herself. She has killed. She has been tortured and nearly killed. Through all of these things, this one thing holds true: If she allows it to destroy her faith in the basic goodness of people, they win. And that, she can never allow.

Adaptable: Dimension hopping was not something she ever thought she'd be doing, but Elisabeth did what she's always done when thrown a challenge — she adapted. Finding out she was pregnant? She adapted. Finding out that it was highly probable they weren't going to get home? She adapted. But the thing about adaptation is … that it's not mutually exclusive and separate from never giving up. In point of fact, never giving up on getting home simply meant ADAPTING. Looking for new ways to get there.

Doing What's Right: She still has a desire for justice that won't quit. Because if she won't stand up when it's necessary, who will? It's not in her to merely go along to get along — not unless it's part of a longer game. And even then, it's really hard for her. She doesn't have a lot of patience for bullshit.

Deep Heart: She loves fiercely; once you are part of her heart, you are never gone from it. She is intensely loyal. Music is where she finds her solace against heartache. She has a deep well of compassion and kindness. She is pragmatic about most things — shades of grey are to be expected everywhere in the world but she is always willing to extend a hand in friendship, and she will offer the benefit of the doubt — true trust with her must still be earned. She has a kind of wary watchfulness about her that speaks to experiences with the darker side of humanity — she'll assume you're a good person until you show her you're not. Once you do that, you'll never have her trust again. Although depending on the situation, she might still use you to her own ends.

PTSD: Although she has had years of therapy at this point to deal with all the things that she has seen and done, Elisabeth is not unaffected. Post-traumatic stress is an ongoing problem, and she suffers a generalized anxiety disorder at times as a result. She still has problems dealing with completely dark environs and keeps a nightlight on. She doesn't have nightmares as often anymore, but she does occasionally have flashbacks to the horrors of her life — to this day, she occasionally dreams of a man named Doug or of killing civilians during the riots. But the horror that truly haunts her is watching innocent children burn, a deed that she in many ways will never overcome.

Haunted: The years of travel, of hiding, of being stranded far from home, of learning that she comes from a world one step left of the one she thought she was born to, of learning that the Carina who birthed her was still alive in a different timeline… of doing what she hoped at any given time was the right thing only to watch people die for it. These things have left their mark on her soul. There is a deep reservoir of regret in her and sometimes guilt eats her alive. There are times when she can look at what she's done in a wholly objective light and know that, like any other series of choices to survive, casualties were unavoidable. Other times, all she can see are the people whose lives she's ruined along the way in not one but FOUR other worlds. In the end, all she can hope is that she left more positive things in her wake than negative ones… and that whatever God is out there will forgive her for the choices she made.

Audiokineses

The ability to manipulate sound waves both within the human hearing ranges (20 - 24,000 Hz) and in a wide range of the spectrum both above and below that range, including ultrasound (20kHz and up) and infrasound (0.001 Hz to ~17Hz).

Talents

Talents	Effort	Description	Learned From
Audible Range Enhancements	Low	This skill is exceedingly versatile and has seen much use. A simple enhancement of her voice allows the sound to come from all around without shouting, and she can raise and lower the volume of it at will. Very useful in crowd situations as a law enforcement officer and also useful in a concert setting. When used in conjunction with a modified Silence Field to stifle ambient sound, the impact can be further enhanced. Throwing her voice is a little like plain ventriloquism, except that Elisabeth can send her voice the distance of a football field to her target. It can be used for long-range eavesdropping by enhancing her own hearing. (Moderate to High Effort due to Limitations listed.) Limitations: Simple projection for purposes of a concert or in a crowd is an area effect. If she's using her ability to eavesdrop and/or send her voice to a specific target, she has to have a straight line-of-sight to her target(s). Anyone who steps between her and the target(s) will also hear what she says. The hearing trick is far harder — it's something like being in a crowded room, and to hear a single voice, you have to know what it sounds like and you have to be able to filter out the surrounding noise.	Self-Taught
Silence Fields	Low	It is essentially a manipulation of the local sound waves so that within a certain radius, all sounds reflect back into the circle so that a conversation cannot carry beyond the boundary of the bubble. From the inside, everything outside seems to be muted; from the outside, the people within seem to be basically talking with a mute button on. It's a good way to ensure privacy for a conversation in a public place, because directional mikes and such rely on sound waves carrying—in this case, they don't. She can also tweak her fields to allow sound to travel one-way so that, for example, sitting in the bubble you can hear all the people around you but they can't hear you because they're outside the sphere of influence.	Conrad Wozniak
Infrasound	Moderate to High	These subsonic waves have a major impact on the human ear and body. And they are not impeded by physical objects — these are the same kinds of sounds that occur in nature with earthquakes and volcanic explosions. A subsonic soundwave attack, not audible to a target, can cause physical and emotional responses. The physical response is generally intense vertigo, the results of which are dizziness, nausea, the inability to keep one's balance, and, in cases where a direct attack is sustained for 10 seconds or more, potentially explosive vomiting as the body responds to the sensation of spinning. The emotional effect of infrasounds on a target cause feelings of anxiety, uneasiness, extreme sorrow, revulsion, fear, or chills up their spine. Limitations: Requires a direct, ongoing attack. Once the attack ceases, the physical and emotional effects will taper off within a couple of minutes, but those minutes can be crucial in terms of survival sometimes. This attack can be used on a single vector or as an area effect — ANYONE in the range of the area application is affected, including allies!	Self-Taught
Subsonic Suggestion and Crowd Control	Low	Subsonics (infrasounds) can also cause the brain to respond in less damaging physiological ways: reduced adrenaline, reduced testosterone, reduced stress hormone production, an induced low level of fatigue that causes the person to slow down and rest. This has been used to talk jumpers off ledges, convince hostage takers into making deals and letting hostages go, and calm (or incite) riots when Liz was a FRONTLINE officer. The lingering effect wears off relatively quickly — within 20-30 minutes — and some people who are just more hyper or prone to not relaxing (Type A personalities) might not even respond to this subtle manipulation. For those who are susceptible to suggestion, Liz can make suggestions. To some people they'll seem a whole lot more reasonable than to others. She cannot force any kind of behavior on someone. They are perfectly aware that she's making these suggestions — if they're already leaning that way, it may just seem like an even better idea. Limitations: If someone is NOT inclined toward listening to her or already leaning in the direction she wants them to go, this use of power might cause a person to pause to consider what she's suggesting. But if they're angry or adrenalized, it would require a constant (changing effort from LOW to HIGH) expenditure of power on her part for some duration of time — possibly as much as 10 minutes, depending on how determined the individual is to remain angry — to calm them. And from that exposure, someone truly pissed off might then actually be willing to calmly discuss a problem. This ability must be applied in person and she has a rather large range, as evidenced by her actions in 2011. Generally speaking, the range of this ability is "within hearing range" — practically speaking, it means that anywhere within the sound of her voice, whether the volume has been enhanced or not. HOWEVER, although it can be used through a microphone or a bullhorn, that ONLY works if the people are within a physical venue. The ability does not transmit over radio, television, telephone, or any other kinds of communication medium.	Self-Taught
Resonance	Low to Moderate	Sound is fundamentally the lowest resonant frequency at which a medium (such as a string, the air within a wind instrument, the movement of a drum's membrane, a voice, the rim of a glass) vibrates such that it can be heard. A harmonic is a multiple of that fundamental frequency — effects range from the simple hum of a tuning fork to shattering a glass or causing rocks or concrete to vibrate apart or theoretically even causing earthquakes (this would a really extreme use of her ability and may even be physically beyond her capacity — she's never had reason to try such a thing though Conrad did it with his power!) The extent of what she could actually do is not something she's experimented a LOT with; she's only used it enough to know that she's got a solid grasp on the application of this part of her ability. It was what she used to try to destroy the Mallett Device. She is suitably cautious about how and where this ability should be used.	Conrad Wozniak
Music and Harmonics	Low to Moderate	Although music has been her solace almost all her life, Elisabeth never really thought to apply her power to it. After landing in the Bright Future timeline, however, she needed a way to both make a living and keep herself from interfering in her duplicate's life. So she took the opportunity to learn how to actually make her power work for her in a musical fashion and learned the combination of music and subsonics has a significantly soporific effect. This effect she took pains to learn how to hone from specialists. In a musical venue, her concerts tend to be calm affairs and people generally go home feeling very rested. Control of sound waves is easy when you're only dealing with one sound or two sounds or specific ranges of sounds that you're amplifying or muting — it took her a little while and some training in how sound works to figure out how to use and manipulate the frequencies and harmonics she wanted and literally create music. If each sound is a thread, she taught herself to weave such that she can actually create and emit musical backgrounds. She is limited, however, to three or four "strands" at a time — that is, she cannot create a whole orchestral version of a song, but she can use her power to give an instrument (like her piano or her voice) depth and range that it might not usually be capable of, she can make the sound carry farther and give it a richer texture. She can also control the volume — so without a microphone or a bullhorn, for example, she can sing to an auditorium full of people and be heard and understood just fine, even over their ambient noise — noise that she can, at the same time, muffle while she performs. It is a skill that she's worked hard to develop, and one that she put to use to support herself.	Acoustic Specialists
Sonic Boom/Concussive Shockwaves	Low	A sonic shockwave is a pressure wave of air. Think of the sound coming from speakers at a huge concert — you can feel the beat in the ground and through your own body. This is the effect that this application of the ability has. It is a forcible push of sound waves through the air, much like the waves of the ocean, and they can do a good deal of damage. She has in the past shattered windows and even knocked down unstable structures with this ability, and the pressure wave has the potential to physically shove a person away from her (though not necessarily send them flying as in a comic book) or to burst eardrums. It is not in Liz's nature to want to destroy things, however, so her practice with this ability has been limited.	Self-Taught
Ultrasound	Moderate to High	Ultrasound is defined as approximately 20 kilohertz and up — it begins just above the uppermost ranges of what humans can hear and beyond. Ultrasound has a variety of everyday uses and applications, from medical ultrasounds to mapping the ocean's floor to treating tumors, pulverizing kidney stones, and melting tissue for purposes of liposuction. During the attack on Pinehearst, Elisabeth had the first occasion ever to actually use this application of her ability — to both her own detriment and that of Gillian and an Arthur Petrelli clone (ramped up by Gillian's augmentation ability, Liz literally turned the two of them into bloody mist in a split second along with melting her own vocal cords into useless tissue).	Self-Taught and Acoustic Specialists
Echolocation	Low	Although she cannot create ultrasound frequencies, Elisabeth's ability to manipulate sound into both the ultrasonic and infrasonic ranges has a practical application in the dark. She can hear and interpret (to some degree) sound waves — in her case, she can use sound waves to give her a basic map of her immediate vicinity. It is of use only to get a feel for the shape and size of the room, whether there are obstacles in her path, whether there might be openings/doors in the wall and it has a maximum range of about 15 feet. She cannot identify the objects in her path (except really for walls, which tend to be floor to ceiling, but a TV entertainment center would pretty much look the same as a wall; a chair, table, car would all pretty much register as something about 5-8 feet tall; people and Christmas trees would all register just as solid objects about 6 feet or so tall; et cetera). But she could at least tell you 'the door is about 10 feet that way' and turn herself or a person standing next to her toward it without use of night-vision goggles. To use the ability, she has to be able to either generate a sound (a soft hum would do) within the range of human hearing or have an ambient sound that could be amplified — just as a bat squeaks, she has to have something with a source that would then bounce back. If she is attempting to hide what she's doing, it requires a level of concentration that impairs her accuracy. She will never get better at this application.	Self-Taught and Squeaks

Vulnerabilities
Overload	Because she has strained her power to the breaking point over the years and even once blew it out for nearly a year, it's rather like spraining your brain. Generally speaking, all the day-to-day uses of her ability don't cause her any problem. In a large crowd control situation where expenditure has to happen often and she has to push the power hard, Elisabeth will suffer physical after-effects that can range from simple headaches or minor nosebleeds to full-out migraines or potentially worse. She has no idea what it would take to blow it out permanently, but the possibility does exist.
Hearing	She has on a couple of occasions blown out her own hearing. Although she herself doesn't really realize it, her hearing has been damaged. Her power automatically took over when it happened last time and she did heal but not fully. She is hard of hearing right nowand the possibility exists that if she damages it that way again, her power will be the only way she hears — which will bring a whole new set of vulnerabilities with it.
Panic Attacks	These attacks bring an uncontrolled use of her ability to the fore. Usually it's little more than a subtle buzz against the hairs of the arm or a nearly inaudible hum in the air that rises as the anxiety builds. She knows most of her own triggers at this point, although there may be some that she hasn't realized. This manifestation of power could be used against her if it presented during a stealth situation or it could be triggered purposefully — if a large enough shock were used, it could potentially render her incapable of acting and the possibility exists that she might lash out with her power at the source of the problem.

Effort Key
None	Requires no effort.
Low	Requires minimal effort and concentration, like walking, holding a conversation, or reading.
Moderate	Requires dedicated concentration. Moderate-effort abilities cannot be used while actively fighting or using another talent with an effort of Moderate or higher.
High	Requires undivided concentration. Cannot do anything other than move slowly or talk in short sentences while using a High effort talent and cannot use other talents that have an effort level of Low or higher.

The Many Faces of Elisabeth

Alts

Facts

Known to Most

Former cop. Former "terrorist"/patriot. Former FRONTLINE director. Gave the interview that blasted a great many things wide open.
Supposedly killed in 2011 but miraculously back in New York now. Rumors probably run the gamut about why that is, but she's been seen with a young blonde child in tow in Red Hook Market a good bit.
Bodyguards are regularly seen with her. Mike Gordon: Alessandro Molina:

Known to Some

Put out several songs on the "Liberty" album that was released in 2011.
She was a music teacher at Washington Irving High School for a couple of years (2006-2008).
She speaks fluent conversational Russian, thanks to Felix Ivanov's parents and grandfather as well as several years of intensive lessons with Bright Felix Ivanov, though she cannot read or write Cyrillic.

Known to Few

She has traveled through time before (went back to save Jaiden in a previous arc) and has been timeline-hopping for the past 7 years.
Was not born in the Prime timeline.
Has had a career in music that was moderately successful — in another world.

Hooks

Elisabeth was, in various circles, a well-known associate of Endgame, Phoenix, the Ferrymen, the NYPD, FRONTLINE Manhattan. She was also a known face because of the interview she gave Brad Russo before she was supposedly killed. You could be a former co-worker, someone she arrested, someone whose family member she injured or helped while she on duty, someone who has ties to the organizations that she had ties to.
Also, Elisabeth is going back to her roots — as the NYPD gears up to reopen, she has been asked to take on a Lieutenant's position with the new SCOUT team. So SCOUT, SESA, any and all law enforcement types, feel free to hit me up — I'm also game to run some street-level cop scenes as well. (I promise, nothing like The 36 ever again!)
She was a music teacher for a time at Washington Irving High School, so you could be a student or another former connection there.
The Nite Owl diner! Back in the day, this place was the gathering spot!
She is (along with Aurora) becoming a regular face in Red Hook. Some might notice that when not on duty she sports a shadow (of the bodyguard variety, not shadowmorph).
As she returns to Prime, Elisabeth has a whole new world to deal with once again — I am open to any meetings and I am happy to create reasons to be able to meet people. The more friends/acquaintances/frenemies/whatever, the better I like it!

Relationships

	Aurora Morgan Ivanova (Cranston) Harrison: born June 21, 2012, in the Bright Future. She was an unexpected gift and is the center of Liz's universe. She is a normal 8-year-old girl except for an interesting quirk — she has a mild form of synesthesia. That is, she sees sounds as colors in the world around her. So when there's music playing, she might comment about how much yellow and orange that song has or how blue the song is, and she's not kidding. To her, it's not just how the music makes her feel, it is also what she sees in her mind's eye. People's voices have color as well.
	Richard (Cardinal) Ray: She never intended to fall in love, thought her parents were one of the few lucky ones to find such a thing. And then it happened to her. Sure, she can live life just fine without him… but seven years apart made it brutally clear to her that he will always hold her heart. They aren't built for white picket fences and whatever passes for a 'normal' life… and she can't see building a live amid the chaos with anyone else. He is her home.
	Jared Harrison: Much beloved father. He buried his wife after Midtown 2006 and buried his daughter — or at least had a headstone erected next to her mother and the one that has Richard Cardinal's name on it — in 2011. He is a man for whom justice is important — he made sure she was pardoned posthumously along with everyone else. He helped write the laws that now protect Evos. Elisabeth is amazed at all that her father did after she 'died' and she is very proud of him… and proud as hell to be his daughter.
	Carina "Cranston": WAY WAY COMPLICATED. It was the name Elisabeth used in Bright, so it is the name Carina chose to use when she arrived in this world. (Also in use by Michelle Cardinal "Cranston" at this point, interestingly enough.) She is Elisabeth's actual birth mother and the wife that Jared really married… 1982 pulled her family away from her, and Elisabeth found her in the Flooded world. Elisabeth struggles with her feelings over her mother. She remembers this Carina from her young childhood, the Prime Carina who raised her into adulthood after Liz and Jared landed in Prime, and now she has her 'real' mother back… and there are missing years and she worries that any time she mentions things from her teens or young adulthood, she's somehow hurting this Carina's feelings.
	Devon Clendaniel: He was her son in all the ways that mattered. But she died on him … and she arrived back in this world to find that he'd died just days before. It was devastating. She was barely beginning to deal with all of it when he washed up alive on Brighton Beach. Now that he is back and knowing that he's withstood hideous things, her maternal instincts are in really high gear when it comes to him. Though he is now an adult and she does her best to treat him that way, once in a while she simply smothers him with hugs whether he likes it or not.
No image	Joshua Harrison: the time/dimension-traveling son that Wasteland Future's Elisabeth bore Richard "Ezekiel" Cardinal. He came back to her world trying to stop what happened to his mother. Like most, he never understood time was not a line. She doesn't know what's happened to him or where he went after 2011, but she hopes that somewhere in those years that she was gone he found some peace.

	Cassandra Baumann (Bright): First met as barely an adult, Cassandra started as Aurora's babysitter and became more or less one of Elisabeth's People. A younger sister of sorts, looked after and beloved by Aurora, Ygraine(BF), and Liz. Her arrival in Prime to find her local analog murdered has rattled the younger woman and Elisabeth makes a point to keep close to her.
	Harmony Roberts: Sister of the heart. When the twins were born, Harmony and Liz bonded over the tiny beings and Liz loves all three of them as family. The time she spent with this woman gave her the knowledge she needed to manage as a single parent herself. Harm is one of the only two people who held onto hope all the years that Elisabeth was gone that she was still alive out there.
and	Isabelle Ashford (Virus): She never knew Isabelle of her own world, having only gone after her to arrest her once. But the Isabelle that came with her from Virus through the dimensions is nothing less than a sister in all but blood. Elisabeth doesn't know Shaw too well, but he loves Isabelle with all his heart — that in and of itself would have earned him her loyalty, but the fact that he's also protected the children and had Elisabeth's back any time and every time she's needed him makes him part of her family in his own right, whether he realizes it or not.
	Kain Zarek (Virus): Complicated. The man can be a pain in her ass… he vanished in Bright for a long time; she only found out later he was in jail. But he adores her daughter, and he has had her back for a long time now. His heart hurts on such a deep level, Elisabeth has no idea how to reach him and just does the best she can to be there for him, have his back, and make sure he knows that he's not alone. He is family. And a part of her loves him, as crazy as she might occasionally find that thought.
	Kaylee Thatcher Sumter: Sister-in-law. Since returning to Prime, Elisabeth is working on building her relationship with Kaylee. The emotions are a little tangled with her love of VFKaylee, Prime's Kaylee has earned her own place in Liz's heart. And she is soon to be working with Liz too, having accepted a position on the SCOUT team. The bonds forged in another world may not be the same but they are translating. And Carl and Aurora's relationship also brings them closer, giving them a common ground to work from as they build.
and	Magnes Varlane (Prime), Elaine Varlane (Virus): Magnes is the one constant companion in her travels. He is the little brother she might never have wanted or asked for, but there he is. And he has grown so much in the past few years — marrying Elaine and having their daughter Addie has given him a stability and a focus that Liz hadn't been sure he'd ever possess. They are her family, Addie her niece. The fact that their daughter was taken because of what she did in Bright eats at her heart.

Not as close but still FAMILY

	Ling (Virus): She is one of the last remaining of Kain's original tribe. Although Liz doesn't know her well, simply because the other woman keeps to herself even after all this time, she is someone Elisabeth will be there for without question. This woman has had Elisabeth's back through some serious shit.
and	Lynette and Mateo: Elisabeth considers them family, though they are not as close as perhaps they could be. She kept her distance throughout the years in Bright — only in contact enough to make sure they were okay and happy. She would literally do anything they need of her, anytime they ask. Since their return to Prime and their apparent merging of selves into one coherent person each, Elisabeth isn't entirely sure of her emotions with them except that she owes them everything and they are family. She tries to make sure Evie and Manuel see Aurora as often as possible, and she allows the child to consider them just as much her cousins as Kaylee's brood and Addie.
	Odessa Price: COMPLICATED. Prime Dessa switched places with Bright Odessa for a year… and spent that year with Elisabeth and Aurora. During that time, Liz came to know her as she is now (rather than as she knew her before 2011), and so there is a feeling there of connection.
	Silas: He was held captive in the underwater world of Donald Kenner… he had no reason to trust her, but he chose to. And then he followed her to a whole new world. He laughs that she trusts him, but when trust like that is offered, she finds it hard not to reciprocate. She keeps an eye on him as he begins his new endeavors in this world, wanting to be sure that he'll be okay.

	Abigail Beauchamp is arguably Elisabeth's other female best friend. In the years before The Journey, Abby kept Liz sane in ways the healer might not have realized. She was a solid, grounded woman who always helped Liz find her feet when she was freaking out. Now that she's back in Prime, Abby seems not to have changed overmuch — sweet, strong, and seemingly still the eternal optimist. Elisabeth is looking forward to seeing her friend more often, especially if Abby winds up on the SCOUT team.
	Arriving back in Prime to find Alia never believed her dead was a surprise. That the technopath stuck to Richard and kept looking for things to give her that hope makes Elisabeth count her as a friend. They are still learning their way around one another — they didn't know each other well, even before. But Elisabeth genuinely likes her, and Aurora seems to like her very much.
	Years ago, she tried to take over helping Colette train her ability after Conrad died, but the younger woman had other things happening in her life. It fell by the wayside, as those things do. Running into her at a vet's group, it caused Elisabeth to flash back to the day she landed in Bright, when Colette and Tamara saved her group's asses from government incarceration… and she's looking forward to working with the younger woman now. SCOUT is getting manned by people she trusts — or at least a few of them. Even now, she'd trust Colette with her life.
	Reconnecting with old friends is making Elisabeth realize how many friends she actually had. Delilah is one who she didn't necessarily expect to feel quite as attached as she did. Aurora and Walter seem to get along famously, which makes Delilah one of her "mom friends" too! Not something Elisabeth ever thought to have outside of Elaine and Lynette. Delilah might not be QUITE as badass as the rest of the tribe, but she can definitely hold her own.
	Badass biker bitch, clearly a former and possibly current (Liz doesn't ask) lover of Richard's, and an extremely fun lady to have around. When they met, there was a bit of tension but Devi was considered Endgame by Richard back in the day and that made her someone with whom Elisabeth made a point to get on decent terms with. Turned out, it wasn't hard. Liz would take this woman at her back any day.
	Huruma made an impact in the short time Liz knew her… and apparently it was mutual. She had no idea that the other woman would even care that she'd come back from the dead, but they met up and it was clear that it was something important. Elisabeth genuinely likes the warrior and is grateful for the hand of friendship extended.
	It's taken a little time to actually meet up — but now that Monica no longer works for Yamagato, Elisabeth is hoping to see far more of her. When she's not out of town searching out leads on the newest world-ending insanity that's going to rain down on their heads from alternate timelines or an Entity from the Beyond.
	Once upon a time, Elisabeth called this woman the only true female friend she'd ever had. Though it's been many years and she was presumed dead, the feeling is still there. Seeing Niki again, there was a moment where something in her world that she didn't know was off-kilter righted itself.

The ones who stayed behind in various places — not usually their own origin places!

	Felix Ivanov (Bright): Beloved. Married to Leland, happy and sassy, the Felix that Elisabeth left in the Bright world saved her sanity. Her touchstone, her rock of Gibraltar. He is the only father Aurora knew in her infancy and toddlerhood, and though this incarnation was never her lover, he has been beloved. Leaving him behind wrenched Liz's guts out… but it comforts her to know that he's taking care of Cameron Harrison and Jared Harrison in that world, making them his family.
	Kaylee Thatcher (Virus): Sister. Though she met Richard's sister in Prime, it was only after the Virus world that the relationship with the Virus world's version of this woman deepened. Aurora's aunt, and Liz's sister in all but blood as well. The travels bonded them in ways Elisabeth never truly expected. And Kaylee remaining behind in the Wasteland with her Luther broke Elisabeth heart even while it gave her hope… in two different worlds, Kaylee found her love.
Lighthouse Kids (Wasteland Version)	Lance, Squeaks, Lucy, and baby Darlene are Elisabeth's People. They had to grow up insanely fast in their world, but they were HERS to protect when they got hauled through the wormhole and forced to travel with her merry band of time-displaced soldiers. They opted to remain behind in the Flooded world — Lance's parents were alive there. She couldn't blame them. She hopes that they made it back to the Pelago and that they all survived the Purge that was happening as her own group left.
	Odessa Woods (Bright): Bright Odessa saved Elisabeth's ass on numerous occasions, beginning with killing Bright Samson Gray. She was at her back through Wasteland and Flood. Losing Bright Dessa right at the end breaks Elisabeth's heart. She would never be able to repay the times that the woman saved her life. All she can do is remember the woman who traveled with her for nearly two years.
	Ygraine Fitzroy (Virus): Advisor, best girlfriend, trusted with insight into to deepest parts of Liz's psyche and the nightmares therein. She is, for all intents and purposes, the person who saved Elisabeth's sanity in not one incarnation but two incarnations in three separate worlds. For all that the Briton finds it hard to believe in either incarnation, her thoughts and experiences are deeply valued. Elisabeth misses the Virus version of Ygraine very much, as does Aurora. Se remained in Bright when they left.
