3	Iron Liz is a [[VideoReviewShow video reviewer]] who primarily reviews {{Tabletop RPG}}s. She became well-known for her appearances on WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall alongside Linkara, her former real-life boyfriend. She and Linkara also collaborated on card gamesplays such as ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' and ''Anime/SailorMoon'' in ''[[IncrediblyLamePun You're Such a Card...Game!]]''. She recently started a companion series called ''Card Dregs'', which features weird and bad {{Collectible Card Game}}s.

5	Liz was a member of WebVideo/SpoonysCampaign, in which she played a Cleric; she then became the [=DM=] of an AD&D campaign with others from TGWTG and Creator/LordKaT's stream. The first few sessions were not streamed or put online, but for a time were posted to her blog (now [[MissingEpisode deleted]]). A wiki for the campaign can be found [[http://theadventure.wikia.com/wiki/The_Adventure_Wiki here]]. Liz also ran a ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'' game with her friend Kari.

7	She used to be found on Website/ChannelAwesome, but has since left the site. (Apparently, she's gone back to school to become a police officer.) Since her parting with Lewis, and the end of Channel Awesome as a significant website, Liz doesn't have much of an online presence anymore. Her only presence seems to be a [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCOu82G2-RUSK7HKwuRw2_w/feed rarely used YouTube account]].

9	----
10	!!Tropes associated with Iron Liz include:
11
12	* ActionGirl: Iron Liz would like to introduce you to her two friends.
13	** DarkActionGirl: Judas Liz.
14	* BattleCouple: Linkara and Iron Liz, as proven in the ''Ewoks # 9'' review.
15	* BeYourself: Harvey Finevoice's advice to her in ''Ewoks #9'', when she was trying too hard to fill in for Linkara. She took the advice and has been herself ever since, to the delight of fans. (Well, except when she's being other people, but that's to be expected.)
16	* BorrowedCatchPhrase: [[WebVideo/AtoptheFourthWall "RPG history you don't care about but need to know in order to understand this!"]]
17	** She also borrowed from [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One,]] "Why am I in a [[Franchise/StarTrek starfleet]] uniform???"
18	* BreakTheCutie: She was a huge ''Franchise/StarWars'' fan, getting into it through the second edition of the ''Star Wars'' RPG. Then, slowly, the movies started to literally cause her mental duress leading up to her playing the third edition of the ''Star Wars'' RPG. According to her, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
19	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She was a major part of Linkara's WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall cast when they were together. Her absence since the end of their relationship has not been acknowledged in the show's plot.
20	** [[TheBusCameBack The Bus May Come Back]]: Hinted in [[http://blip.tv/at4w/vlog-10-20-12-paranormal-activity-4-6410166 Linkara's Paranormal Activity 4 vlog]]...
21	*** And now [[TheBusCameBack The Bus DID come back]], for the DVD-exclusive [=AT4W=] episodes!
22	* CompensatingForSomething: Iron Liz notes the extremely long silencer in ''Chain Gang War'' #1.
23	* {{Cosplay}}: Happens in her reviews, e.g. in ''Franchise/StarTrek'' uniforms.
24	* CrossOver: Iron Liz joined forces with WebVideo/ObscurusLupa to review the unintentionally horrifying children's movie ''Gooby''.
25	** ...And later on, Liz roped Lupa into reviewing mermaid horror B-movie ''She Creature'' with her, as payback.
26	* DoesNotLikeGuns: Possibly. When battling Lord Vyce, Linkara has his Magic Gun, Harvey Finevoice has his Tommy Gun, 90's Kid has his chaingun, Ensign Monroe has his phaser, and Iron Liz has... [[KatanasAreJustBetter swords.]]
27	** Specifically, they are replicas of Drizzt Do'Urden's magic scimitars. She does review tabletop {{Role Playing Game}}s, after all.
28	* {{Fanservice}}: Her second ''Card Dregs'' certainly delivers, which she [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]].
29	* UsefulNotes/FurryFandom: A skunk in her Ironclaw review.
30	* GratuitousNinja: The Ninja-Style Dancer shows up out of nowhere in her review of ''Chain Gang War #1'' to ensure that the review doesn't fail.
31	* HeavyMetal: Her music of choice. (Her name ''is'' a ShoutOut to Iron Maiden, after all.)
32	* OfficialCouple: Formerly with [[WebVideo/AtoptheFourthWall Linkara]]. [[http://thefoundary.blogspot.com/2011/11/lewis-and-i-have-parted-ways.html#more They have since broken up]], but are still on good terms.
33	* PhraseCatcher: Linkara's dry "I have to live with her, folks" whenever she cracks [[IncrediblyLamePun a particularly bad pun]] in "You're Such a Card... Game".
34	** Discontinued in more recent times (for obvious reasons).
35	* PungeonMaster: Not on [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall AT4W]], but during her appearances in other [=ThatGuyWithTheGlasses=] streams (especially Creator/JewWario's), she was known for cracking a lot of puns. Also does this a lot in "You're Such a Card Game."
36	* SharedUniverse: Because she was on Channel Awesome, and did frequent cameos and crossovers, her persona is part of the Reviewaverse.
37	* ShoutOut: She does Shout Outs to WebVideo/DiamandaHagan and WebVideo/TheBunnyPerspective [[http://thefoundary.blogspot.com/2011/06/vlog-update.html here]].
38	* {{Squee}}: In her premiere episode on [[http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/iron-liz That Guy With The Glasses]], regarding Creator/BruceCampbell in ''Film/EvilDead2''.
39	* VideoReviewShow: Her work.
40	* WomanOfAThousandVoices: Her vocal range allows her to pull off both male and female characters pretty well.
41	* YaoiFangirl: The fact that she actually enjoyed reading SlashFic about her ex-boyfriend probably goes a long way to explaining her popularity with the TGWTG fangirls.
