Early Life

Elizabeth Jessica Batty, known as Lizzie, was born on October 7, 1992, in the United Kingdom, likely in Yorkshire, Northern England. Raised by her father, a doctor, and her mother, a nurse who struggled with alcoholism, Lizzie faced a turbulent childhood marked by her parents’ divorce.

Her ethnicity is Caucasian, and she was raised Catholic, though her current practice aligns broadly with Christianity. She has a younger sister, Maddie, known online as Microglitching, with whom she shared a close bond, often escaping family challenges through gaming.

Lizzie’s early love for video games like Call of Duty and The Sims became a refuge, sparked by the 1990s and 2000s internet and gaming culture. She adopted her cat Giggsy as a child, cementing her love for animals.

Education

Lizzie attended a local high school in England, graduating in 2010. She studied Computer Animation and Visualization at Liverpool John Moores University from 2012 to 2015, earning a degree in April 2015.

Career

Lizzie launched her YouTube channel, LDShadowLady, on January 9, 2010, inspired by her Xbox Gamertag, combining her initials “LD” (Lizzie D.) with a nod to YouTuber NDTitanLady. Starting with Call of Duty gameplay, she transitioned to Minecraft in 2011 after joining Zack Scott’s Scottland server.

Her Shadowcraft series (2012–2015), a modded single-player Minecraft survival adventure, became her hallmark, featuring a Jurassic Park-themed build and an animal graveyard for her virtual pets. With over 7.4 million subscribers and 3.2 billion views, her channel showcases series like Crazy Craft 3.0, TrollCraft, One Life, and Empires SMP.

She co-founded The Pixel Pact in 2012, a female gaming group with members like Yammy Xox and LaurenzSide. Lizzie voices herself in Minecraft: Story Mode (2016) and made a cameo as an auction attendee in A Minecraft Movie (2025).

She participates in MC Championship and Life Series (Last Life, Secret Life, Wild Life), known for builds like the Fairy Circle Fort. Her second channel, More LDShadowLady (2013), has 12.8 million views but is largely inactive. Lizzie streams on Twitch, focusing on Minecraft tutorials and challenges, and collaborates with her husband, Joel (SmallishBeans), on series like Build Vs.
