Elizabeth is... I came here from Gundam Wing fandom, so I was expecting Elizabeth to be the grown-up version of Relena. And in some ways she absolutely is, and then every so often she'll do something that smacks far more of fanon-Relena -- and when somebody else's sixteen-year-old girl could do a better job than the character who's supposed to be good at it, it's generally a sign that you need better writers.
(Which is why I appreciate it whenever she gets some.)
Seriously, on the show, my best guess for some of the inconsistencies is that for some reason or another her brain chemistry is fluctuating, so that when she's on she's on and when she's off she has no idea that she is off. Of course, this leads me to speculate what could be causing it (other than menopause, which might work but would be very cliché and which leaves me feeling rather a traitor to my sex).

There is, isn't there? *happy smile*
