PERSONALITY

Libby is in a constant state of needing something to do. She tries to balance her personal life and career, and has a talent for spotting out a Taylor Swift song in public places. She is a quiet, intelligent and observant person with an incredible memory. She’s highly adaptable and good at blending in, probably because she’s grown into a wallflower. Libby likes to think of herself as a resilient, independent individual, someone who can live life on her own. She can be a social butterfly once she feels comfortable. Her mouth has this ability to work faster than her brain, so some of the words that come out of her mouth can be fascinating. Libby is the type that gets truly excited about the little things. She’s funny, generally quick to add a witty comment, and enjoys a good challenge. She’s fiercely protective of the people she calls her friends and she’ll have your back no matter what. She’s exceedingly hard on herself and is her own biggest critic but also has trouble admitting when she needs help. She can have a bit of a temper, though she’s great at keeping it in check. She’s a person with a lot to give but has some emotional issues to overcome. If she’s being honest, all she wants is to live a life that’s quiet and happy with the ones she loves the most.

BACKGROUND / BIO

TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of pregnancy, childhood cancer, death, miscarriage.

Meet Libby or, if you’re one of her mothers, Elizabeth Marie Stewart (and she usually doesn’t tell people what her full first name is). She was born and raised in Thomasville, Georgia, and had a modest, middle class upbringing. Her mother, Daisy Stewart, is a school teacher while her other mother, Robin Stewart, is a bakery owner. The Stewarts are your typical small town family, who have been the owners of the town’s quintessential bakery since Robin’s family first got there in the 1950s. She is the second oldest of the Stewart clan. When she was younger, Libby always had a vision of herself being something of a role model for her younger siblings, but well, that was probably not the best idea. As she got older, it became obvious that she wasn’t the kind of older sibling that the younger ones should be looking up to. Which is mostly just a really nice way of saying she was a complete handful. It was almost as if she had made it her life’s mission to run her parents crazy when she was growing up. They did everything they could to try to keep her in line, but the fact of the matter is that, while she always respected her parents (even though it didn’t always seem like she did), no one could ever make Libby do something she didn’t want to.

From the time she was a little girl, Libby has known who she was and what she wanted to be when she grew up. One day, she was going to be an interior designer, but not just any designer. She didn’t want to work for a firm or a company, she wanted to be her own boss. She wanted to be like those designers on HGTV with their own businesses. She set that goal for herself as a part of her ten year plan and set her eyes on SCAD so that she could make her dream a reality. When Libby gets her heart set on something, she’ll do anything to get it. That was the case with Lincoln Scott, the boy whose name was once scribbled on her notebooks with hearts drawn around it. She liked him a lot, like, a lot a lot. They had been best friends since they were toddlers and over time, she had grown feelings for him. Luckily for her, he felt the same way. He was her first serious boyfriend, and because she could recount her grandparents’ love story as if she were there 80 years ago, she had ridiculous expectations for love. She believed in love at first sight, and she believed in soulmates, and she believed that her very first boyfriend could be the one.

He ended up being the one that knocked her up during her junior year of high school, which was most definitely not a part of the ten year plan. She was seventeen and pregnant and scared, but family was important to the Stewarts and important to Libby. And though there had been options dancing through her mind, they were nothing more than fleeting thoughts because when her eyes saw the sonogram for the first time, she knew she wanted to be a mother. Nine months later, Freida Rose Scott was born into the world to two teenage lovers with plans of graduating and marrying after high school. With a baby, going to college wasn’t an option for Libby, and while she’ll never outwardly admit it, she felt that the decision was made for her and that she didn’t necessarily have a choice in the matter. And so it goes, Libby married her high school sweetheart straight out of high school (while keeping her last name), moved into a house with a white picket fence, got a permanent job at her family’s bakery and in turn pushed aside her dream of becoming an interior designer, and raised her baby. However, that all changed during her twenty first year of life. When she should’ve been going out for her first legal drink, her husband and family spent their months in hospital rooms and waiting rooms. Their baby girl had been diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia.

They spent that year trying to find treatments, trials, and medicines that would cure their daughter. Nothing seemed to work. During that year, they spent all of their time making sure their baby girl got to still live the childhood she deserved. A year or so after getting the diagnosis, Freida passed away in her sleep. The Stewart-Scott family was rocked to the core, none more so than Libby herself. Freida was literally Libby’s entire world, and there was no denying that. She took one look at that little girl and suddenly everything changed. Libby was willing to do whatever it took to give her daughter the very best life she could give her, and would’ve done anything she could to protect her. Her entire life changed after her daughter died and she was lost. Over the next few months after Freida’s death, the Stewart-Scott family had to find a new normal. With their daughter gone, they began to feel a strain on their marriage. That only continued to shift from a lax rubber band to a tightened rope around her hands when Lincoln told her that he wanted to have another child. They struggled a lot within their marriage during that time, but she felt they’d get through it. At the age of twenty three, she suffered a miscarriage and made the decision to leave Thomasville for good. The place held nothing but heartbreak for her.

Leaving her old life behind, she went off on her own with her savings and eventually found her way to Boston, Massachusetts. There, she enrolled at MASSArt where she earned a bachelor’s degree in fibers. With her background in fabrics and her passion for interior designing, she found herself employed, working for a company that staged open houses for homes that were on sale. It was only a year before the company called her about a job in Merrock, Maine. It really hadn’t been her intention to stay in the small town but alas, she did. She moved in with someone off a Craigslist ad, and got a job working at Polished Brass Market as an antique picker.

Though, it didn’t take long for her past to catch up with her because before she knew it, her estranged husband eventually tracked her down in Merrock. After having to tear down the guard she had built up so fiercely, Libby had to face her grief head on and managed to let go of all the hurt she was carrying. And to her surprise, she ended up reconciling with her estranged husband in the process. Feeling like the pieces of her life were finally falling into place and putting her back together, Libby finally decided to chase her dream of becoming an interior designer. Wanting to dip her toes back into the real estate world, she left her job as an antique picker and accepted an offer from Bardales Inc. to become a home stager, making their properties attractive to potential buyers through her skills as an interior stylist. As she gains connections and experience, Libby hopes to take the next step and open up her own business one day. Until then, she’s more than happy spending her days scouring flea markets and garage sales looking for hidden gems.

She’s been in town for nearly a decade now and being able to find a home in Merrock was something Libby Stewart never expected, but the town welcomed her with open arms and she’s now glad to call it her adopted hometown.
