Liza Winters was one of five children of Kelly Winters. Liza's elder sister, Cher, struggled after Liza was born as she felt pushed out by her family. One day, she shared a moment with her mother where Cher felt wanted, but a jealous Liza interrupted the moment and took all of the attention from Cher by performing a dance routine for Kelly. Whilst unattended, a furious Cher pushed Liza into the pool in a fit of rage. Liza, however, was unable to swim and drowned despite Cher's desperate attempts to save her. Kelly kicked Cher out of home as she prepared to move to Greece, leaving her with her biological father Sylver McQueen.
