On the island:
Libby was a tailsection passenger on Oceanic Airlines Flight
815. Immediately following the crash, she sets the broken
leg of another survivor, Donald, who dies a few days later.
After twelve fellow tail-section survivors are abducted
by the "Others", Libby is one of the five remaining
when Jin, Sawyer and Michael encounter them. She submits
to Ana-Lucia's leadership, following orders without question.
After Shannon is shot by Ana-Lucia, Libby stands up to
Ana-Lucia, by refusing to tie up Sayid, and insisting that
Ana-Lucia needs to let the fuselage survivors go.
Libby builds her camp with the help of Hurley. Later, Hurley's
comments to Charlie indicate he harbors an attraction towards
her. When doing laundry with Libby, Hurley comments that
he may have met her somewhere else. She distracts him by
trying on a small, purple top and says that Hurley had stepped
on her foot while boarding flight 815. Libby helps Claire
unblock her memory of what happened to her when Ethan took
her.
During Hurley's episode with "Dave", Libby helped
him out and talked him off a cliff where he was intending
to jump. It was at this time that she expressed her romantic
feelings for Hurley. In "Two For The Road" Hurley
tries to take Libby on a picnic, but when they're missing
a blanket, Libby returns to the hatch to try and find one.
Instead, she is shot by Michael, who had just killed Ana
Lucia. She dies shortly thereafter.
Before the crash:
Libby says she attended medical school for one year before
deciding to become a clinical psychologist... but that's
only based on her word for now. The only thing we know for
sure about Libby is that she was a patient in the same psychiatric
ward where Hurley was committed.
We also see Libby later on in a chance encounter with Desmond
at a coffee shop. When Desmond tells her his plans to race
around the world in a sailboat, one of which he does not
yet own, she tells him her late husband had a sailbooat,
and gives it to Desmond. The boats name is Elizabeth, named
after Libby. |
