Is she dead?
Lizzy_Winkle died on the morning of 29 November 2019. She had been battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia (blood cancer) for quite some time, and her sister Mae revealed on Twitter that Lizzy_Winkle had died.
She was loved in the Roblox community, and the creator of the game “Royale High” – callmehbob – tweeted about Lizzy_Winkle following her death. Callmehbob’s husband LauncelotHandsome started a fundraising livestream in her honor, and close to $20,000 was raised to donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, for cancer research.
One of the game’s developers, Kateka22 announced that he and other members of the “Royale High” community would hold a memorial because of all her contributions; the memorial turned out to be the Roblox game “In Loving Memory of Lizzy_Winkle”.
When entered, the game allowed the player to walk around the memorial, write a message to Lizzy_Winkle, and pay his/her respects. The memorial became very popular, reaching the first page of Roblox, and was then visited by numerous Roblox users who weren’t necessarily players of “Royale High”.
Another memorial was added in the game “Royale High”, and if entered, the user would be teleported into the game “In Loving Memory of Lizzy_Winkle”.
The Roblox user Beeism created Lizzy’s Wings, based on her concept artwork, and these could’ve been purchased during the 7th Annual Bloxy Awards.

About the game “Royale High”
“Royale High” is a fantasy school dress-up and roleplaying game on Roblox, and features various ‘universes’ so that the players could meet and chat in various environments. Prior to its current name, the game was called “Fairies & Mermaids Winx High School”, as it was created as a fan club of the animated series “Winx”.
There are many realms in the game to which players can teleport through the Teleport Map; some of these include Classic Royale Campus, Moonlight Square and Fantasia Getaway Resort. New and limited-time realms are added during holiday events, including Christmas Town (during Christmas) and Autumn Town (during Halloween). There are also a couple of realms which have been removed for unknown reasons, such as Divinia and Diamond Beach (Old).
Various badges can be acquired in-game, and these represent how often the person plays, and how dedicated he/she is to the game. There are special badges given to those who play the game during seasonal events, such as Independence Day, April Fool’s Day, and St. Patrick’s Day.
