Liberty first recognized her objectophilia when she developed feelings for a drum kit at the age of 14. Beginning in her late twenties, she went on to have one of the most meaningful relationships in her life — with the Statue of Liberty. The objectophile changed her last name through a deed poll to match that of her beloved landmark — whom she calls “Libby” — and she got an American flag tattooed on her right arm.

Libby and Liberty’s romance started to fizzle out around 2016 due to the long-distance nature of their relationship. They ultimately broke up, but Liberty says she and the statue are still good friends.

Liberty is also an avid Disney fan. She named her hamster after Simba from The Lion King and enjoys singing karaoke-style renditions of Little Mermaid songs and then posting them online.

But of all Disney films, Beauty and the Beast is her favorite. When the live-action version starring Emma Watson came out in 2017, it inspired Liberty to acquire a candelabra companion of her own.
