Name: Lilian Amarath
Nicknames: Lil, Lilith, Captain Lil
Pronouns: She/They - Interchangeably uses both pronouns
Age: 18
Birthday: December 17th, 2003

School: Mayet Secondary School - She is a senior and boy howdy are they ready to be done with this s**t. She's Captain of the Varsity Soccer team and has no idea what she wants to do after school ends, maybe go to Adelaide County Community College? She secretly wants to be recuited by a college soccer team and become world renowed. They often try to sneak off to hit up clubs or bars with their fake ID.

Occupation: She works at a local coffee shop in the afternoons and on weekend mornings. They're a shot-in-the-dark type of person.

Hobbies:

  • Soccer -- After her first two years she made her way up to be Captain of the Junior Varsity team before moving to Varsity her junior year and co-Captain her senior year. She has suspicious to WHY she was made co-Captain, like the coach knows she's sneaks out to bars and doesn't want the bad influence on the team, but who actually knows.

  • Running -- She loves to run in the early mornings, especially in the Fall and early Spring when she can see her breath in the mornings. It makes her think about her mortality and morality. She loves to push herself and see how far her body will go. Running also allows her to settle her brain. She often chews on her lips while she runs and listens to punk rock to keep her going. She likes being awake when the rest of the world is still asleep.

  • Punk-Rock -- Although everyone tells her the genre is dead, she's still in love with it. She often finds herself wishing she lived during the 70s so that she could've been involved in the movement. She would've spent all her time crowd surfing and trying to sneak into bars. She loves the Sex Pistols and The Clash (who doesn't!) and is a fond of Green Day and The F Ups.

  • Guitar -- A small secret she has is the fact that she's trying to teach herself to play the guitar. But, she's super embarrassed about it and so she only practices in private. Not even her closest friends know.


Pros:

  • I will lead us to victory A Leader -- She'll do what needs to be done and will get everyone else to do that as well. Not very good with words, but great with actions. Although she'd prefer to get something done solo she understands that not everything can be done alone. This is why she made Captain of the JV soccer team.

  • Hurry up and get it done Action-Oriented -- This goes both ways and plays off the fact that she's impatient. She's not a hurry up and wait type of person, she's a hurry up and get it done type of person. This can be good as she doesn't procrastinate things like homework, but bad as she rushes through projects and exams at times.

  • This is who I am, take it or leave it Authentic -- They show who they really are and don't try to hide it, there is no point in their opinion. Why lie about who you really are to impress people? Seems like a lot of extra work that they're not interested in. You either like them or not.

  • We fight as equals or not at all Honorable -- She holds true to her thoughts and ideals and strives to be the best in all she chooses to do. Whether that's leading her team to a victory or memorizing a new song on her guitar. If she fails at these tasks she takes the punishment for it and acknowledges it.

  • You before me Selfless -- Although she doesn't normally show it, she greatly cares about people, especially her fellow soccer team players. If they need something from her she'll do what they need first and worry about herself second. This means that she'll stay up all night helping a friend color a poster for class and not sleep all night.



Cons:

  • Is it ready yet? Impatient -- She has problems waiting. Either physically in her seat for a long period of time, lecture classes kill her, or emotionally. She likes the facts and feelings told straight out to her. None of this "beating-around-the-bush" stuff for her.

  • "I mean, suck it up, be a man and rub some dirt on it." Snarky/Sarcastic -- If she's having a bad day, ex. period time, don't get on her bad side. She can be incredible snarky and sarcastic and takes no prisoners. She'll tell you straight out what she thinks about that snake like thing growing out of your hair. A no s**t type of day. She snorts a lot at things she thinks are stupid.

  • "Mom, I will pick out my own dress. And no, I will not wear high heels. Because heels are a male invention designed to make women's butts look smaller... and to make it harder for them to runaway." Un-lady Like -- She's often been described this way, although she considers herself a tom-boy, others think she goes too far. Fart jokes and burbing the alphabet are hilarious to her.

  • Romance is a social construct Romantic Cynic -- Romance? What's that? Sounds like a load of bullpoopie to me told to small girls so that they never try to take care of themselves. If someone wants me they better be able to keep up with me first.



General Appearance


Hair: Long and dark black, always pulled back in a ponytail and out of her face. Bangs neatly tucked behind her ears and bobby-pined in place so that it doesn't get in her way.
Eyes: Emerald Green
Skin: Light
Piercings: She has three upper ear cartilage piercings and a nose stud, but she has to take them out most of the time for soccer.
Clothing: Although with a name like Lilian she was never very "girly", instead, she tends to just lounge around in athletic pants and shorts with t-shirts and different University sweatshirts. She loves a good beanie and her favorite simples says "Needs coffee" on it.

She owns multiple scrunches in assorted colors, but not even a bit of make-up lies around her room. She has a feeling that people would probably call her a "tom-boy" but she always felt like she had better things to do with her time than worry about her outward appearance.

Sometimes she sneaks off campus and goes to hit the clubs or bars, the closest thing she can get to the 70's. Although she goes without make-up, she pulls out some fun punk clothing every once and a while.

Let’s review Lilian so we can get her into play for you as well! 

School is fine overall, although I would recommend removing her habit of sneaking out as it really has nothing  to do with her studies/where she is going to school. Not only are clubs and bars highly regulated in Mayet, if Lilian were caught doing this it could very negatively impact her chance at being recruited by a college team as well as see her removed from her captaincy of the Varsity team!  

Occupation isn't really needed as she's listed as a student, but it's a nice extra touch.

On to Hobbies:

Soccer- Right now you’re telling us about her current soccer career in highschool, but what makes this a hobby of hers? Is it something she's always enjoyed?  Did a pushy parent force her into it and she grew to love it? Has she only been playing as long as she’s been in highschool? Also, just as a note, no coach is going to promote ANYONE who sneaks around and flaunts rules -- demoting her down to co-captain is definitely a possibility for punishment if she’s caught, but she could, and would likely, also be removed from the team entirely. 

On to Pros!

Leader- as written, this is far more me being told she can lead without showing me examples or qualities that make a good leader.  Does she give inspiring pep talks?  What about little mannerisms that show she has her teams' back?  Leadership isn't just knowing what to do and doing it, it's knowing your team's strengths, weaknesses and abilities and using those things effectively to win the day.

Action Oriented- This one reads a little more like an extension of ‘impatient’ as opposed to a positive spin on impatience and the way we’re reading it some of what you’ve got listed under ‘Leader’ could actually go here instead? So maybe something like the following: 

Action Oriented/Efficient - Lil will do what needs to be done and she’ll get everyone else to do it while she’s at it. She’s not a hurry up and wait type of person, but a hurry up and get it done type of person. While she’d sometimes prefer getting to do things solo, no matter who she’s paired with, the task gets done

In putting it that way you’re leaving the focus more on the positive aspects while leaving things open to a bit of additional interpretation so you’ve got room for her to grow! 

Honorable- This one starts off reading as though she has high personal standards and we think there’s a way to merge this together with Selfless. Because she holds herself true to her thoughts and ideals, striving to hold herself to those high standards it means that she holds others to those standards too. She’ll do what someone else needs her to do because it’s the right thing to do, because they stand together or not at all because it’s right

Overall on Pros we’re recommending pairing it down to Action Oriented, Authentic and Honorable and swapping a bit of the verbiage up to make them really work to show off who Lil is! 

On to Cons!

Impatient- So THIS is where you want to bring in some of those negative things that you’ve got in ‘Action Oriented’. For example: 

She has problems waiting. Either physically in her seat for a long period of time, lecture classes kill her, or emotionally. She likes the facts and feelings told straight out to her. None of this "beating-around-the-bush" stuff for her. As a result, she sometimes rushes where she could take her time and instead of making sure she gets something done right, well… At least it’s done? 

Snarky- Anyone can verbally lash out when having  a bad day, whereas a Con is something that is more or less always present -- it may not always show at the same levels, but it’s always there. Our recommendation would be to rework it a little so it focuses on the flaw itself, possibly highlighting that it’s more noticeable when she’s having a bad day, but not that it’s the only time it comes out. How does being snarky/sarcastic pop up in the day to day? Does it show in her sense of humor and maybe others don’t get it as well? 

Un-Ladylike and Romantic Cynic - At the root, these two seem like they could be combined into something like Rebellious. She bucks the rules, doesn’t follow the path that’s been set out for her and while that could be a good thing it manifests in the form of sometimes unruly behavior with a side of sass. She’s not going to let ANYONE make her conform to the norms. 


I know this might seem like a lot, but you’re on the right track and in some cases it’s just a matter of making a few adjustments to help round Lil out! If you need any help or have any questions let me know, otherwise quote me when you’re ready to move on!
