APPEARANCE:
Lily is a young petite woman, being barely 5â2â. Her natural white-gold hair is thin and straight when dry. But then sheâs rarely out of the water anymore. It falls down to her mid back and most days she'll spend hours braiding it. Her eyes are large almonds that dominate her face, with vividly blue eyes. Her skin is free of any freckles, but she is hyper sensitive about her body. She has many scars across her skin from the trauma she went through. She uses scraps of cloth and seaweed to cover her upper body to hide them. The tips of her fingers up to her first knuckles are blackened as if charred though they donât feel it. These are a result of her Electrokenesis powers.
LIKES
Strawberries, sunsets, her family, music, hugs.
DISLIKES
Mushrooms, her powers. Herself.
PERSONALITY
At her heart, Lily is a kind person. Before that fateful night she understood the trials that faced her family. She tried her best to be the good responsible daughter that her parents needed her to be. Sheâs hard working, not afraid to do what needs to be done for the people she cares about.
When she loves it is a deep and self-sacrificing kind of love. She did everything she could for her two brothers, fought as hard as possible to help them. The guilt of her failure weighs heavily upon her heart. Especially what happened to her youngest brother. Her in ability to prevent his kidnapping and subsequent torture has haunted her dreams. Lily has never forgiven herself. Where others seek the path of revenge, Lily has fallen to despair. Yet she hasnât given up entirely, she still clings to something⊠She doesnât know, but there must be some reason to continue living.
She truly hates her powers and what she was turned into. This is due to her dislike of violence and her inability to control it. Hurting others just by touching them is a torment that sheâd never considered.
HISTORY
Lily was born to a small poor family in Boston, Massachusetts. They were a painfully ordinary family. She was the eldest of four siblings, the only daughter amongst her brothers. When the Great Depression came, it struck their family hard. It made a struggle for a living that much worse. The moment Lily could, her mother taught her how to care for her younger siblings and then both her parents went to scrap for some kind of earnings.
She did her best, but a child raising younger children was never ideal. Two of her brothers were claimed by death during this time. Lack of money brought a shortage of food, which brought illness and no coin for the doctor or medicine. She clung tighter to her youngest brother, determined that he would live no matter what.
Never would she have imagined what happened next. That in the depths of winter after her nineteenth birthday, that they would come. Wrenching her and her brother from their beds, taking them captive within a ship. What happened next was beyond imagining, being taken to a strange place and⊠Changed. She survived the ordeal, but to her horror her brother did not. Burned into her mind, was the image of his lifeless form cast into the waters. When finally she was released, she spent years searching the seabed for him. Some desperate prayer that maybe he was alive, maybe heâd survived. An impossible search one might have told her, but with time unending stretching before her now, what else was there to do? Eventually she did come across a skeleton, picked clean by the sea fauna. Was it her brother? Maybe it was the right size. So much time had passed by now, that some things were difficult to remember. She gathered the bones and took them to a place on the reef. She guards the place now, unable to move on from her grief.
ABILITIES
Lily's main ability is her Electrokinesis. With this ability she can control and produce electricity. After developing this ability, her fingers turned black and if she wanted to she could shoot electricity from her fingers. However, Lily has next to no control over the ability. Anyone who touches her, is risking being zapped by an wild burst.
TALENTS
Lily has some skill with sewing, something her mother taught her. It's nothing fancy, but she utilizes it to stitch haphazard clothes for herself when she has the materials. After spending so long in Neverland, out of sheer boredom she was able to turn a conch shell into a musical instrument. She also spends time covering her brother's grave in shell strands and on occasion flower strands.
STRENGTHS
Kindness, hardworking
WEAKNESSES
Depression, inability to control her powers, doubt in herself
