Bio: Lily started out her life in the slums of sector 2, in a very poor family. Everyone worked in it as soon as they were able in order to provide enough for her parents, her, and her three brother's. She had early on developed a natural grace as well as a pull towards dancing. For the longest time, that seemed like a bad thing because it could draw people's eyes, and she had been developing into an attractive girl, and in the slums, attractiveness combined with drawing the eye get you in trouble. That was, until one day, one of the sector six slum lord Don Corneo's men came by, one of the few who were actually nice, rather then total perverts and assholes like the rest. Essentially, he offered her work in exchange for pay going to her family and the Don taking care of her. It was essentially both her and her family's dreams come true at the time, since none of them knew the don. They didn't hate her in any way, and if they had known the Don, may have turned it down. But it was three sector's away, and they had never even heard of the man before today.
That was how Lily ended up in the sector six area, working professionally as a dancer for Don Corneo's men. True to his word, the man who had brought her arranged both for her needs as well as sending money to her family. She also never actually had to deal with the Don until her third year at the mansion. This was because the Don almost never visited his men's quarter's, except during his annual "Bride hunt". For the first two years, whenever those happened, the man who had recruited her had been watching for her, managing to keep her out of his site until it was over. However, the third year, a few weeks before, he disappeared. As could be expected, that year, The Don decided to try to take her for his bride. Unfortunately for him, the man who had been helping her had also started teaching her various things, and she escaped the mansion. She was trying to live on the streets for a short time, but her skill set just didn't work as a dancer. Her looks however, got her propositioned many times by various men. The way she found a profession before being forced to turn to that was, one day on the street, she had seen an old wanted poster from Shin-Ra, offering a substantial reward for the man on it dead. She had noted it in passing, and kept walking. Less then two hours later, she was suddenly grabbed from behind and dragged into an alleyway by a man who didn't realize she was armed. After she shot him and killed him, she recognized him from the wanted poster, and soon after walked into the Shin-Ra facility in the slums, and tossed his severed head onto the desk of the secretary. From there, she ended up a professional bounty hunter with a very good reputation. Any hit's she was assigned during her stints as a sort of assassin she never failed. Admittedly, she was human, and sometimes made mistakes, but whenever she missed a target, she would hunt them down and take them out. She lived like that for a few years, before she got tired of that life. She had a nice nest egg to tide her over as she looked for other work, but she ended up suffering from the same thing that many professional assassin's got, a sort of blood lust. Killing had gotten into her blood and became part of her. She tried to ignore, working as a dancer again on the upper plate for month's before she couldn't take it and began working again.
Eventually, Shin-Ra tracked her down through the use of the Turk's, and tried to recruit her for her skills. It had taken her carving her refusal into one of the second-class Soldier member's head before they stopped pestering her. However, one of the Turk's approached her later on, offering to pay good money for her service's strictly as a third party assassin. She accepted the job on a provisional basis, and still gets the occasional assignment from Shin-Ra. However, when she got a request to kill Cloud Strife of Avalanche not long after the Second Sephiroth Incident, she literally laughed in the messengers face, even though he had been a Turk. "I'm not stupid enough to take an assignment against one of them." Was what she had said, and it still holds true. She refuses all offers against any of those who had been involved with Avalanche in the Sephiroth Incidents.
