The Lizzie Bennet Diaries[]
Before LBD[]
Lizzie had two sisters, Lydia and Jane, and has always been best friends with Charlotte Lu. Charlotte and Lizzie go to college, and decide to both major in Communications. Charlotte and Lizzie proceed to start a video project for their class, which they dub The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
Starting The Lizzie Bennet Diaries[]
Lizzie starts the Lizzie Bennet Diaries by just talking about herself and her sisters, when her mother mentions that a rich medical student is moving to Netherfield. Lizzie is initially skeptical of Bing Lee, but she meets him at a wedding. When Lizzie meets Bing, she finds that he is better than he initially estimated, and so approves when Jane falls in love with him. At the same wedding, Lizzie meets a man named William Darcy, who is Bing's best friend, but she finds to be extremely snobby and boring. Lizzie talks about these happenings on her vlog, until she announces that she is going to Vid Con.
Vid Con[]
At Vid Con, things start uneventfully, however, as Lizzie is filming one of her vlogs, she is interrupted by Ricky Collins, whom she is incredibly annoyed by. Lizzie then learns that her mother is remodeling her house, and so she will not be able to return home, and so she and Jane arrange to visit Bing at Netherfield.
Netherfield[]
Jane and Lizzie proceed to go to Netherfield, where Lizzie meets Bing's sister Caroline Lee, who encourages Lizzie to keep her videos hidden from Bing and Darcy. Lizzie gets frustrated by living in the same house as Darcy, but takes solace in the company of Caroline and Bing. One day Lizzie comes across a video where Jane is recording a video letter to Charlotte, before Bing joins in. Lizzie decides to upload this video to her channel, so as to allow her viewers to see Bing.
