* [[spoiler:SacrificialLion]]

* Adorkable

->'''Played by:''' Andy McPhee

* CryForTheDevil: Subverted. At the start of "Mind Games," she's deeply hurt and upset to learn that her husband wants to divorce her to marry a younger woman, leaving her potentially powerless with Bea and Franky's rising popularity. But the same episode has her [[spoiler:manipulating Vera, threatening Bea, and eventually ordering Debbie's death, cementing the fact that she's still a terrible person.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: Crossed it loooong ago, but to the viewers it happens when she either: [[spoiler: forces a loyal lackey to smuggle drugs into the prison through her daughter]] or when she [[tries to have Franky gang-raped]]. By the time she [[orchestrates Debbie's death]], she's already a true monster.

* OddFriendship: With Boomer. They start off as casual rivals due to being the henches of Bea and Franky, but they soon develop a sweet friendship of their own. Taken UpToEleven when the idea of having a baby together comes about.

* AdultFear: When Jacs threatens Bea's daughter, Bea naturally freaks out and realizes how helpless and powerless she is to protect Debbie whilst stuck behind bars.

* AdultFear: When she can't get hold of her daughter in season three, Liz fears the worst and gets so worked up she nearly attacks Ferguson. [[spoiler:She had good reason to panic; her daughter Sophie is revealed to be a new inmate in the same episode]].

* AdultFear: When Ferguson finds out that [[spoiler:Doreen is pregnant]], she becomes even more obsessed with the more woman, first using Doreen as a pawn to get to [[spoiler:Will Jackson, threatening to have the baby aborted or taken away if Doreen disobeys]], but then Ferguson completely changes her tune and [[spoiler:starts acting as a secondary mother figure to Doreen's fetus/baby]], which is never a good thing!

* FoeYay: With Bea for most of season two and the start of season three.

->'''Seasons:''' 1-4

* IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream: [[spoiler:As of the Season 7 finale, Liz suffers from "locked-in syndrome."]]

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: As her dementia begins to take a toll on her in season 6, Liz begins to lose the will to live. Kaz is able to talk her out of it.]]
* [[spoiler: DyingAsYourself: Her wish when she develops dementia, and it's heartbreakingly carried out by Boomer in the season 7 finale]].

* [[spoiler: IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream : As of the Season 7 finale, Liz suffers from "locked-in syndrome."]]

[[spoiler: * RedemptionEqualsDeath: Dies saving Ruby from a trap set by Lou inteded to kill her. Later the core group remark that she "made good" after all the terrible things she'd done before, and when they'd still been very harsh to her, giving this a touch of ForgivenessRequiresDeath.]]

[[spoiler: * PlotTriggeringDeath: His murder sets off Lou's character arc for the final season.]]

* TransEqualsGay: As with his undeniable antecdent Maxine, this is convincingly subverted. A fellow prisoner calls him a lesbian for his relationship with Lou only for him to (understandably) outburst that he is a man who loves a woman, and is thus no lesbian.

* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead:]]

* Jerkass: She has little if any social graces or professionalism (Vera remarks on her use of the word "cunt" in a staff meeting) and is clearly not around to make friends. Will is the primary target of her antagonism and she even convinces him to quit at one point (though he does come back).

* NotSoDifferent: A major theme to her final arc on the show; Vera fears that by trying to finally dispose of [[spoiler:Ferguson]], she's become just as evil. In the end, they do find something they genuinely have in common - [[spoiler:the lack of a healthy relationship with their respective mothers (Vera's being overbearing and emotionally abusive, and Joan's having been killed while she was young). This ends up being why Joan does most of what she does in season 8.]]

* BrokenBird: Shows traces of this when discussing her [[spoiler:daughter who died in a terrorist bombing]]. May be more of a VillainSobStory considering her overall arc.

* BackStab: [[spoiler:The shocking fate she inflicts on Allie in the season 8 finale.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: From her introduction and throughout the season, she seems to be [[spoiler:on the side and in the crew of Allie and our main girls, and a sympathetic young woman to boot. This is ''shockingly'' turned on its head in the waning moments of season 8, when she savagely stabs Allie repeatedly in the showers, leaving her for dead]]. It's also revealed that the bashing he was responsible for earlier in the season was quite intentional, and perhaps most stunningly, that she [[spoiler:ordered a (successful) hit on the United States Secretary of State]].

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Of [[spoiler:Ann Reynolds]]. It seems accidental at first, but it was later revealed to have been very much by design.

* EyeScream: Is responsible for brutal eye injuries inflicted on both [[spoiler:Kelly Bryant]] and [[spoiler:Jodie Spiteri]].

* NotSoDifferent: Attempts to tell Bea that they're both victims. When Bea asserts that she's not a victim, Kaz agrees that victimhood is boring.

* DyingSmirk:[[spoiler: Despite the brutality of her death, she dies smiling, having proved to Bea that [[NotSoDifferent she, just like Jacs, is a killer.]]]]

* NotSoDifferent: Tries this with Bea. [[spoiler:Unfortunately for her, [[GoneHorriblyRight she's entirely correct]]]].

* NotSoDifferent: She and Bea. It's even [[LampshadedTrope lampshaded]] in-universe by the likes of Franky and Fletch.

* NotSoDifferent: Despite being suspicious of her involvement in his wife's death, he becomes more sympathetic to Bea after [[spoiler:Debbie's death, as they've both lost a loved one.]]

* BigBad: In a world of considerable GreyAndGrayMorality, she's easily the least sympathetic character on the show. You might feel a little for her when [[spoiler:her lover dies]] but ultimately the lack of inhibition she shows toward brutally killing anyone who steps in her way makes her look like a CompleteMonster. Even [[spoiler:''Ferguson'']] eventually develops softer edges, shown in pretty direct contrast to Lou's.

* Fingore: Chopping off fingers was Lou's trademark form of prison justice when she was Top Dog. [[spoiler:She suffers this fate herself at the hands of new Top Dog Allie in the season 8 premiere, and seems to if anything give her grudging respect in the immediate aftermath.]]
