PERSONALITY
At a first glance, when you look at Lilina, you see a well adjusted, generally cheerful and blissfully ignorant girl. She's easy to talk to, can hold up conversations without any awkward hang-time, and she pulls at your protective instincts. You seem at ease around her, and find yourself generally more open than you usually are with people. Of course, this is all intentional- Lily's a master manipulator and knows how to get people the way she wants them. She can lie without batting an eye, and she is almost always acting out a persona, hiding her true self underneath, mostly because of distrust, and also because she doesn't know how to let anyone inside.
If you can break the surface, you'll find a sad and lonely girl, looking desperately for companionship and understanding. She's mildly awkward, and doesn't really even know who she is, because she's been acting most of her life. She fights to fill a hole; out of a feeling of uselessness, and she bottles up stress in a way that can really hurt her later on. Still, if you can nurture that part of her, you'll find you've gained an irreplaceable loyal ally, who'll have your back, regardless of the situation. And you'll also gain a great, if not somewhat clingy, friend.
QUIRKS
Pffftooie! You lose!: Lily likes to stick her tongue out at people. She doesn't know why, and she knows she gets weird looks when she does it.
A fight! I'm in!: Unusually, her blood heats up when she hears a fight, and has trouble resisting from joining in.
Hey, sir, do you have spare coin?: Even now, when financially her life is stable, she can't help but mooch money off of strangers.
LIKES
Heron, big brother!: She adores her big brother, and is forever loyal to him. He's like her emotional rock, and as long as she knows he's out there, doing his thing, she'll be okay, and things will work out.
I'm pretty strong, y'know!: Lilina really likes to fight. It makes her feel exhilarated and alive, and it's the only thing she thinks she's good at.
Let's do this quickly!: Lily gets this strange satisfaction from finishing everyday tasks faster than most people do it. She doesn't understand it, but she tends to rush through chores and other things.
HATES
My daddy!: The one thing she truly hates his her father, for the years of torment he put her and her brother through.
Ugh, it's a bar. Let's not go there.: She hates the idea of alcohol and drinking, because it makes people go out of control, and brings back bad memories of her childhood.
You already said it once!: Lily hates people who repeat themselves. It's a waste of time, she thinks, and it's annoying.
STRENGTH
Hey, so, you do have spare cash, right?: One of Lily's greatest strengths is her ability to manipulate others. It makes life just that little bit easier for her.
Which mask should I put on today?: Another strength of hers is her acting ability. She can easily play the cold-hearted bitch, or the adorable girl-next-door type with ease.
Ha! Beat by a girl!: And, probably most obviously, is her fighting ability. She has a natural affinity when she's in danger, and she thrives in a fight.
WEAKNESS
Brother, oh, where are you?: Lily is overdependent on her older brother. If something were ever to happen to him, she'd be lost and want to give up on trying to keep fighting.
I'm... I'm seriously fine.: She tends to bottle up the things that bothers her, which is bad emotionally, and she's at risk of exploding with stress when things are particularly bad.
Huh? What's so special about human life?: Lily honestly has trouble seeing why life is so precious, and if there was a situation where she had to kill someone, she'd do it without a second thought.
The past
HISTORY
Lilina was born to one of the scientists working on Mana weapon research; her birth killing her mother and gaining of ire in her father. In his grief, the once kind Paytor Laxuz turned to alcohol and abuse, leading to Lilina overly depending on her big brother by four years, Heron, to keep her safe. Of course, over time Lilina saw that her brother was slowly wearing down from protecting her all the time, and always being worried about her, so at the age of six, the little girl decided that if she pretended that she wasn't hurt, her brother wouldn't have to worry. So that's what she did, and that just made Heron's stress worse. And when Lilina was used by her father for Mana experimentation, she found her chance and murdered him with her new power.
Once the murder was considered to be in self defense, Lilina and Heron were put into an orphanage together, in Xexion, where they easily integrated into the society there, being generally well-liked, the kids thinking that Heron was cool and charismatic, and thinking that Lilina was cute and to be protected. Cyria Hallows, the orphanage, was generally poor, despite the volunteer workers there trying to make life as good as possible for the kids. But the lack of proper funding led to Lilina playing on her short stature to manipulate random people into giving her food and coin, by acting cute and in distress. And while everyone in the orphanage considered her begging to be a good thing, Heron didn't like that she always seemed to be using a mask to hide her true self.
Eventually Heron went into studies, ironically the same field as his father did- Mana research and weaponry, and had special permission to bring his sister with him to the dorms of his new university. He was eighteen at the the time, and Lilina was almost fourteen. He met someone from the Guardians of Felna there, and eventually he and Lilina were roped into joining the organization, hardly knowing Hilgart before his disappearance. So to escape the mana-eaters, Heron took his sister and they returned to Xexion, to work as volunteers at the orphanage, as well as Heron continuing his studies. Lilina herself, seemed to prefer combat over study, though, and often used her mana in order to help fight against the mana-eaters. It was then that she broke into a research facility and stole her own weapon, and became one of the more well-known fighters in Xexion, at the price of her schooling. This would continue for three years like this, until one day she received a letter, and she went to the ruins, leaving her brother back in Xexion, to meet up with whoever was left of the Guardians of Felna.

Fighting Style: Lily uses speed and misdirection in her fights, since her size makes her have lower physical strength over all. Her mana lets her move things at varying speeds by touching them, to an area within her eyesight, so often times she likes to pick up a rock and send it at bullet-speed towards her enemy, making her power rather destructive. She can use that on herself, shooting herself rapidly to wherever she wants that she can see, making it incredibly hard to counter her attacks. Still, she has a limit before getting tired. Her weapon is light and flexible, giving her good reach and ability to break past an enemy's defensive stance, but nothing can really fix her lack of strength, or her frailty: one good hit, and she's out of the fight.
