Appearance:

Physical Description: Lily is pretty tiny, standing at 5'2 with a slender build. She's the perfect size and agility for the seeker position that she covets so much. Her hair is bright red and her eyes are bright blue. She's always smiling except when she's writing papers or correcting other people's papers. Her sense of fashion is so low key it almost doesn't exist. She sometimes wears her glasses while most of the time she sticks to contacts. Her hair is usually pulled back to avoid getting in her face though when pressed she'll let it down.

Personality:
Likes: Laughing, reading, quidditch, tea, singing, Roro, movies, popcorn, twizzlers, running, comedies, visiting foreign countries, helping dad out in the kitchen, learning different languages, proper grammar, being able to order food in six different languages, puzzles, listening to people read, stories, campfires, bang geeks specifically boys who can play the cello

Dislikes: Alcohol (it makes people stupid), drugs (they too make people stupid), internet and text lingo (that's just another thing that makes people stupid), being called a tightwad, harsh sounding music, loud noises, bullies, jocks, spelling and grammar errors, high heeled shoes, flashy clothes

Quirks:
*She loves being around older people, it's not a status thing or even a sexual thing (though she does tend to date older men), she just loves the conversation and the level that adult conversation is on. Her sense of humor and well versed vocabulary make her stick out as not just some young kid trying to be cool in an older crowd. She genuinely feels like she's at least five years too old for her body.

*She loves learning different languages and is quite proficient in several (French, Gaelic, Japanese, Latin, & Spanish) but the problem is, she always jumps from one to another and in any given conversation she could start in French and end up in Japanese.

*She's fascinated with communication and intends to further study it at University. She will people watch from across the green and totally forget where she is in conversation with people to watch the vocal and physical clues of other conversations.

*She fixes grammatical and spelling errors on graffiti.

Secrets:
*She has a tattoo on her rib cage in Gaelic. It a James Joyce quote: "A man of genius makes no mistakes; his errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery." She doesn't quite know why she hasn't told her parents yet, she's sure that they would love it but she has a lingering suspicion that they'll be pissed she did it while she was underage.

*The reason she started learning French was to impress a French boy, Olivier, she met while visiting Paris one summer. He was very impressed and they started hooking up (he was her first). By the end of the summer she was correcting his French grammar and so ended their sordid affair.

*As previously stated Olivier was her first, and he was a bit older. He was nineteen while she was fifteen. She thought she had been ready for their relationship and the physicality of it but really she wasn't and instead of saying anything she just let it go on. She regretted it, even though she had agreed to it. Now she feels incredibly awkward about sex in general and she doesn't know how to talk about it. The only person who knows about any of this is Rose because she couldn't stand to not tell her twin.

Amortentia smells like: Baking bread, books, chai

Strengths: Intelligent, communication, languages, hard working, she's not afraid to speak her mind

Weaknesses: She can't leave it when something is bothering her, she's a little opinionated

Detailed personality: At first, many people would see Lily as a bit of a tightwad because of her love of proper grammar and spelling and not to mention that her nose is always in a book and she doesn't drink or do any sort of drugs. But really she's sweet, bubbly, friendly, and outgoing.

She's always had a very sophisticated sense of humor for someone her age and so was always attracted to a slightly older crowd. This has gotten her into trouble on a number of occasions that she doesn't really want to talk about because as mature as she is, she has had to face some things that she wasn't ready for. Still, she's brave and she puts on a good show even if she isn't really feeling all that confident.
