Physical Appearance
Lyazzat is a twenty-three-year-old Kazakh woman standing at about 5'10.5" (179 cm). She has a tall and slender build with long arms and a fair complexion. She has thin brown-coloured eyes, thick brown-black hair – which is usually seen worn down or in a messy bun – and pronounced, prominent eyebrows to complement her hair. Along with a long, diamond-oval shaped face, she possesses a high nose bridge and plump lips. Her strong Central Asian features have been mistakenly interpreted as Mongolic or East Asian in the past.

Early Life
Lyazzat Olzhasqyzy Serikbaeva was born in the town of Shardara, southern Kazakhstan, to ethnic Kazakh parents Olzhas Serikbaev (Kazakh: Олжас Серікбаев)and Batima Serikbaeva (née Aubakirova; Kazakh: Бәтима Әубәкірова). Her father, who was born in the town of Akkol (formerly Alekseyevka; Russian: Алексеевка), was educated in Moscow and served in the Soviet Red Army before returning to Kazakhstan to marry Batima, who was born and raised in Shardara. Olzhas was an atheist (formerly a Muslim) while Batima was a Hanafi Sunni Muslim; after studying in the Soviet Union, Olzhas renounced his faith. The family also lived with Olzhas's grandfather, Kurban Serikbaev, who served as an imam for the town's mosque and retained his Islamic faith despite Soviet pressure. Lyazzat was the couple's second child before their second daughter, Saltanat, and after their son, Yerlan.

{{sup|Lyazzat and her siblings were educated by their grandfather in the town's mosque for much of their childhood. Despite Olzhas's stern urging for his children to be secular and non-religious, Batima and Kurban decided for the three to receive an Islamic upbringing. This often resulted in arguments between Olzhas and Kurban over the family's religion, though Batima always supported the latter. Kurban and Batima also disapproved of Olzhas's alcoholism (Islam prohibits the consumption of alcohol and liquor ) and other non-Muslim behaviours. Despite these conflicts, Lyazzat was raised a Sunni Muslim by Kurban and became a hafiza (a title given to a Muslim who has memorised the entire Qur'an ) by the age of eleven. While Kurban and Batima were not present, Olzhas would attempt to "snap his children out of that trance [Islam]" that he believed would hinder their lives. Because of this, young Lyazzat would often denounce Olzhas while concealing a torn affiliation between her faith and her father. Because the family lived in a rural city, they had limited access to modern technology and medicine; Lyazzat was thus taught basic medical procedures as a child to care for herself. Without the influence of technological advancements or electronics for most of her childhood, Lyazzat began developing a distrust of sorts towards computers, television, and other technological appliances. Instead, Lyazzat and her siblings spent most of their time by the shores of the Syr Darya River and the Chardara Reservoir on which the city bordered.
