Basic Information
Character History
Season 1
The eldest daughter of Felix and Rita Sue Dreifuss, Libby was born in 1914 and joined the Gay Paree Show as a performer in 1928, at the age of 14. Raised in the carnival with only her sister and her parents for company, Libby grew up extremely quickly, losing her virginity to a stranger at the age of 11. Libby became close with Sofie after the death of her sister (and sole companion), Dora Mae. The friendship soon turned into one of mutual attraction. However, after witnessing her mother and Jonesy having sex, she refrained from divulging this to Sofie. This fact came to light when Sofie read Felix's cards, and and an infuriated Sofie planned a cruel revenge. Making a suggestive late-night date with Libby, Sofie also arranged for Jonesy to arrive in the same place under the same impression several minutes later. Jonesy walks in on Libby and Sofie making out, and Sofie berates Jonesy for sleeping with Rita Sue, and Libby for failing to tell Sofie about it.
Season 2
Devastated by what happened with Sofie, Libby forms a bond with Jonesy over the affair. The two soon begin to fall for each other, and drunkenly marry each other. Although both Rita Sue and Felix oppose the marriage, Libby and Jonesy develop genuine feelings for each other. At one point, Jonesy is wrongfully blamed for a ferris wheel accident which killed several people. He and Sofie are kidnapped by the widower of one of the women killed in the incident. Jonesy is brutally tarred, feathered, and then left for dead with Libby. They are coincidentally discovered by Ben, who sends Libby away while he heals Jonesy. Libby attempts to keep Ben's secret, but caves under he mother's pressure. Rita Sue is shown up, though, when Jonesy returns and reluctantly reveals his healed leg. Libby and Jonesy are soon separated when Jonesy follows Stroud to rescue Sofie and winds up being shot by Sofie once she assumes her role as the Omega. Unaware of his death, but fearing the worst, Libby tearfully departs New Canaan with the rest of her family.
