Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Lily-Rose Epilor

Nickname: Please call her Lily - anything else seems a little over-formal, and she's never liked roses much, anyways.

Age: 16

Birthday: January 2nd

Sign: Capricorn

Gemstone: Garnet

Blood Type: A-

Fav. Food: Lily has a regrettable sweet tooth, best experienced when she's presented with anything peppermint-flavored. She likes to carry around a purse filled with breath mints and those resturant peppermints.

Hated Food: Anything messy. Eating should usually be fast and clean. Also, since her father went vegan, she's developed a strange fury towards vegan cheese; it's not real cheese and needs to stop pretending and it TASTES GROSS eugh she feels unclean.

School: Meadowview High School

Hobbies:
Piano: Lily has been playing the piano since she was six. Is she terrifyingly good at it? Well, if you played an instrument for ten years, you'd be pretty good at it too, probably. She's a wonderful sightreader and tries very hard, but her technique and her fingering is always a bit sloppy, and...it takes her a very long time to memorize a piece! It's distressing. To combat this, Lily tends to use smaller pieces, merging them into one larger musical piece.
Don't ask her to play by ear, though. It's very distressing for her.
Keeping Notes: Lily's memory is...not the greatest. To combat this, she likes to take notes on people and things she encounters, so she can have a primer: nobody else gets to see them, but she regularly rereads her own notes. Lily is that girl who keeps a planner for school and uses it like a madwoman: every page is filled with detailed notes about her homework, because otherwise she might just forget. Don't be worried when she starts writing down things during any meeting: it's just her way to take inventory and table it all out in her head, so Lily can understand it easily and quickly; and she can reread it on the fly if her memory taps out.

Virtues:
Unerring Focus: Lily focuses on things like a bullet. Or a hawk? Whatever your focus metaphor of choice is, Lily focuses like that. She notes little details, sure; but her true strength is in the fact she will zero in on something and KNOW it. She won't be tempted away from her given path, and she will not be distracted. When Lily is focused on something, you can't distract her; it's impossible to try.
Optimist: Everything will be okay in the end, right? Lily genuinely, 100% believes this. There's a silver lining in every cloud, and something good comes out of everything bad. People are never completely bad, and everyone has a little bit of good in them, and total evil isn't true: this is not the end, and the sun will come out tomorrow. It's for the greater good, and maybe it's childish to say so, but Lily wants to - and does- believe that the world is good.
Helpful: Lily wants people to be happy! She'll assist in any way possible to make you happy and cheerful and content...if you want her to. If you don't want, she's ok with that, she doesn't want to pry. But what she does want to do is be useful, and be helpful, and she'll do whatever she needs if you ask. There's the saying 'I live to serve', and although Lily might never say it, she knows she feels happier making other people happy than trying to make herself happy.


Flaws:
Doormat: Lily never stands up for herself, ever: she desperately wants other people to be happy, and if they can make themselves so by hurting her, she's okay with that. She just wants people to be happy. Is there anything wrong with that? Well, when she'll let the people who she's focused on get their kicks at the expense of other people, there very definitely is. It's incredibly easy to assert yourself at Lily's expense, and if she sees anything wrong with this, she ain't saying.
Secretive: Lily keeps secrets. A lot of them. Is she trustworthy? Certainly! But if there's anything that bothers her or anything that she doesn't want other people to know for any reason, she'll keep it to herself all the time; keep it close to her chest and never let anyone be hurt with it. Nobody can get hurt if nobody knows, and she'll take the blame, it's ok, she doesn't really mind. It's the one exception to the fact she has no will of her own: Lily will never tell a secret.
Somewhere Far Away: Lily goes far away from here, sometimes; she retreats into her own little space in her mind and lets her body go on autopilot and feels like she's floating. Lily doesn't think of herself as a real person, essentially: and she doesn't feel like one, either. So what does it matter if people walk over her? She's not here. Her body is here, but Lily-the-semiperson is somewhere floating in space, and she's safe there and it's quiet and nothing will hurt her soul.


PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Eyes: See image.

Hair: See image.

Face: Lily has one of those 'traditionally beautiful' faces: high cheekbones, small dainty nose, soft lips. But there's a certain sadness and hollowness to her face, so her eyes are dull and her lips are chapped from biting.

Clothes: Lily prefers dresses, highwaisted skirts, and the color blue. No jewelry, except maybe hairclips. She customizes her Meadowview uniform by wearing tights -- there's probably some kind of floral print on them. She likes patterns, monochromatic (black/white), and eyeliner.
