Liesl is from a family from Hamburg who travel the world making nature documentaries. However Liesl hates her family and would rather listen to emo and German electronic music, go clubbing, drink international beers, and read Nietzsche and Kafka, or at least tell people she does because she hates reading. She hates anything American, being told for the millionth time that she has the same name as the girl from The Sound of Music, and The Beatles which she considers the worst band of all time
