Liz Parker in many ways is the heart of Roswell. The stories generally began
with a her voice in her journal. She is also the character that we know the
best so far. We understand whats she's thinking through her reflections in
her diary. The thoughts tell what she is thinking in this diary. Telling us
about her daily life and what she is thinking about Max. Liz has grown up in
a very sheltered and protected environment, living with her parents above the
diner they own, the Crashdown Cafe, and working as a waitress. Up until the
time that fate intervened and Max Evans saved her life, she had the sense of
having an ordinary life in a structured world. Liz is a very sweet and kind,
but also driven to control every aspect of her existence, as exemplified in
her honor roll status and the way she balances school, work, and her
friendships.
Liz is a wonderful and loyal friend, and a warm and giving person whose life
was turned upside down by the discovery that the boy who saved her life, Max
Evans, is, in fact, an alien. Liz very quickly grew to love Max, and care
about his welfare, and through her love for Max, she has been forced to
abandon the perfectly ordered world she has created for herself, and take
actions to protect the person she loves. Liz feels Max and her have a
connection noone else does. There is a sweetness to the character of Liz. Liz
is a vital importance to the show and keeps the group together of her 2 best
friends Maria and Alex and Max's sister and best friend Michael.
