[edit] Character Description

Lizzie MacDonald is the sister of Casey, and daughter of Nora MacDonald and Dennis MacDonald. Her new step-father is George Venturi, her step-brothers Derek and Edwin Venturi, and her new step-sister Marti Venturi.

Lizzie is a (mostly) honest, decent hardworking eleven-year old girl. She plays on the school soccer team, and has been injured playing that sport. She took taekwondo classes afterwards. She used to go to school in Toronto with Casey until they moved in with the Venturi's.

During Casey and Derek's many arguments, Lizzie has often been pulled in to aid Casey, and gotten the short end of the stick many times, like Edwin (and to a lesser extent, Marti) has to Derek. Like Edwin, they both love and admire their older siblings, but at times Lizzie and Edwin are used by their sister and brother, respectively. Although to her credit, she has a lot more backbone then Edwin. Also, it is Lizzie who on various occasions pulled the plug on Casey's and Derek's plans, while making Edwin see that Derek is being unfair towards him (though Edwin forgets this shortly after Casey and Derek stop arguing for the day).

Lizzie is known be very shy when it comes to her physical state (in the episode "The Party": to Casey "But what if they wanna pierce me in weird places? Casey, I'm scared." Shortly after this she and Edwin hide themselves in the attic to escape the wild party). She also has a problem with dancing in one episode.
