Liza von Bekk is a quiet girl, a little even old-fashioned. As is proper, Liza lives calmly and modestly—she selects spices for dishes at the “Deer Antler” restaurant in the Upper City of Lundenwick, and keeps a diary.

And in the end, surrounded by friends, she even saves the kingdom from an evil sorcerer!
