PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
What is there to say about Lillian's appearance? Quite a lot, actually. You know that person? You know? The one that makes you do a double take while walking down the street? Yeah, that's Lily Coleridge. She was born with the most amazingly green eyes imaginable, couple that with her long honey blonde locks, a small waist, and rather appealing curves and you have the prettiest little lady you could ask for.

Lily naturally has very, very pale skin, but it is soft and smooth and totally touchable. With such pale skin she has to be careful not to get sunburned too much, because she does burn very easily and can't seem to tan to save her soul. Ah, but what about the body that this rich, creamy skin belongs to? Well she's got a fairly decent height for a woman, she's not tall, but she isn't really short either, somewhere around average. Okay, maybe just a tiny bit short, but don't ever tell her that.

As far as build goes she's got a willowy, delicate frame. A very small girl, but don't get me wrong, she's got a nice rounded butt and breasts that aren't gigantic on her frame, but rather fit quite snuggly on her body-type to balance out the curves at her hips. So really, she's just shaped like a well-bred Connlaothian noblewoman, which is what she really is, so it shouldn't surprise anyone

Back to her hair; it is a thick, rich honey golden blonde. Naturally it would fall into soft, silky waves, but Lillian is a knight and as such she keeps her hair braided and wound into a bun to keep it neatly out of her way. Boring, perhaps, but she looks totally adorable no matter how she styles her hair, thank you very much. As for her eyes, they truly are an amazing shade of green. The best comparison for the shade that I can muster is a finely cut piece of jade.

When it comes to style, well, style is an odd thing, isn't it? Normally she'd be in lavish and luxurious dresses, showing off her feminine wiles to the eligible bachelors of society's upper crust, but not anymore. Now she's a knight and wears clothing you might expect on a knight. There is, of course, her full Knight of the White Lily regalia, a rather impressive set of armor, with the brilliant and prestigious tabard of her order, but she's also content to wear soft boots, leggings, tunics, and other practical attire when not on active duty.



PERSONALITY
Lillian is the youngest daughter of Duke Micah Coleridge of Orchy. She was born into privilege and affluence and much beloved by all members of her family – save her one sister, who is insanely jealous of her. Given the circumstances of her upbringing, it is understandable that some might think her a spoiled brat, but that's only until you actually meet her. Once you've met Lillian Coleridge, you couldn't possibly think of her in such a way.

Kind-hearted, she would often bring home and take-in animals that needed a home, love, and care. Whether because they were injured or just unwanted by anyone else. It gave her family fits at times, but they never tried to deny her because of the joy that it brought to her lovely eyes. Most of these animals eventually found new homes, but some still run about the Coleridge estate, even in her absence. Not only was she kind of heart, but extremely generous. Her father allowed her to give alms to the poor after every church service they attended, and it was a tradition that was extremely dear to her, and one she tries her best to continue to this day.

Open-minded, Lillian does not care for discrimination, making her ability and duty all that much harder to bear. All people have feelings, hopes, dreams, and desires, and it shouldn't matter if they are rich or poor, young or old, or even mage or non-mage. Everyone deserves some measure of dignity and respect, and in a perfect world they would have it. She's not naïve enough to think that it works like that, or that it ever will, but she can do her best to make what small difference she can, when she can. After all, saving a single person might not change the world, but for that one person, it can mean a world of change.

As a proper Connlaothian lady, Lily was brought up to be soft-spoken and obedient, especially towards the authoritarian male figures in her life, such as her father and brothers, and eventually  to her husband as well, although now she is destined never to marry. Through her training with the Knights of the White Lily she has learned to become an authority all her own, and won't hesitate to stand up for herself or others, and will never back down. She is proud to be the daughter of, in her opinion, one of the greatest dukes in all of Connlaoth, and one of the military elite.

BACKSTORY
As the youngest child of a very wealthy and powerful family, Lillian was born into a life of magnificence and excess. She was raised from birth to be the very picture of Connlaothian superiority and nobility. Her young life was filled to bursting with schedules and pre-planned activities - lessons, upon lessons that taught her all about how a lady of her caliber was expected to behave in any given situation. Of course she was also being groomed to become the perfect bride for whomever her father decided would best serve the interests of the family.

Despite the overwhelming pressure for perfection, Lillian was not only happy, but she thrived and strived to please her father and older brothers. Her sister and she have never gotten along, not for a moment. Evelyn is insanely jealous of her because she is prettier, younger, and has always been looked upon with a great deal more favor by their father. Jealous sister aside, she had a very happy childhood and upbringing. Her two brothers adored her, although they hated each other.

When she was fourteen Lily was dreaming about the day she would be old enough to marry and would finally be able to help her father pick out the perfect match for her - A handsome man, with wealth and power, one that could help further her father's goals. Of course she just knew that this mysterious lord or duke would fall madly in love with her, and she would naturally fall in love with him in turn. That was never meant to be.

When it was first discovered that Lillian possessed the rare ability of Adharaism, she was so devastated it made her sick. Her father was equally disappointed, as he'd had big plans for his beloved little girl, but considering her gift, there was little to be done save send her to Reajh to become a Knight of the White Lily. Those with the gift were drafted, without exception, not even the daughter of the Duke of Orchy was immune to such a law. The departure from her home and family really broke her heart, and though she was dutiful as ever, she was homesick almost from the moment she left her family's estate grounds.

Training was hard, and it was a lifestyle foreign and alien to her, but despite her posh existence before military life, she didn't offer up much complaint. She was a Coleridge, her brothers had been training for military service since they were seven, here she was twice that age and if they did it, she could too. Never let it be said that the quiet, sweet Lillian didn't have a streak of stubborn pride to make even a mule proud.

By the time her training was complete, both her family she were much less discouraged by the unexpected development of her ability. Upon being knighted, her father presented her with a beautiful stallion, one of the finest warhorses money could buy. Holding her head high, proud of her heritage and the legacy she would now lead in her own right, Lily knows now that her life will be remembered on her own merits and not on the achievements of any sons she might have born for a husband.
