Liz is a kind, but lonely person. She only socializes with the forest animals, feeding them bread from the bakery. When the Blue Girl arrives, Liz is quick to take action and welcomes the girl into her home to rest. Liz takes care of her, preparing food, doing laundry, and bathing her. Liz's emotions conflict with each other when she is faced with the decision to let the bird fly free. Both she and the bird have become dependant on one another for company, but Liz recognizes that it is cruel to keep a bird caged in her home, unable to spread its wings. Thus, in an act of love, Liz pushes her selfish needs aside and allows the bird to return to the sky where it belongs.
