Character Information
Character Name: Lily Evans
Canon: Harry Potter
Canon-Point: The summer before her seventh year
Age: 17
History: Bam
Personality:
As a teenager, Lily Evans is many things – charming, witty, highly intelligent – brilliant, even. She’s described in glowing terms by most everyone who knew her at the time, and for the most part such a description isn’t unwarranted. She’s certainly exceptionally talented, in both magic and academics, as seen by the fact that she just received her letter confirming her as Head Girl in the coming school year. She also had a rare degree of control over her magic even before she attended Hogwarts, and quickly became highly skilled in Charms, Potions and Transfiguration once she started attending lessons.
It’s through these talents that we see another side to her nature. She’s a bit of a show off, and cheeky with it – apparently having no qualms about performing illegal underage magic outside of school, and casting difficult Transfiguration spells in order to give gifts to her professors. The impression she leaves on Horace Slughorn confirms her ability to be absolutely charming when she wants to – she’s the sort of girl who is genuinely interested in the subjects her professors are talking about, and perfectly willing in engage with them on their level.
Beyond her abilities, Lily is in the possession of a quick and biting wit that she wields as well as her magic. Hand in hand with this is a quick and biting temper; Lily Evans does not suffer fools lightly, or at all (her first meeting with James and Sirius is a good indication of this). She has her own strong principles and opinions, and heaven help you if she finds yours offensive. She very much has that ‘defender of the weak’ syndrome, but if someone hurts her or her friends, she won’t hesitate to unleash both that wit and temper.
She doesn’t take being hurt or offended very well. Whether she’s in the right or not, she has a tendency to snap back in kind, and has the capacity to be just as hurtful. However, while she’s capable of that, she’s not the kind of person to lash out first. She doesn’t take pleasure in hurting others at all, and will attempt to be understanding of most people so long as they aren’t being HUGE ASSHOLES.
At the heart of it, Lily is a kind hearted girl who goes out of her way to help others and stick up for those who can’t or won’t stand up for themselves. She abhors bullies and won’t hesitate to shout them down, no matter who they are. She is incredibly loyal to her friends and those she loves; we see this in her relationship with Snape, who she stands by even after their relationship has started to turn toxic. It’s only when he crosses the ultimate line of calling her a slur that she ends the relationship.
This in turn leads to another aspect of her personality; once she makes a decision, she’ll stick to it, and is incredibly hard to budge from that. While it is possible for her to change her mind about someone or something once she’s made it up, this is often a process that takes years, whether that opinion is changing from positive to negative, or vice versa. She’s stubborn, and while this is something that tends to lend itself mostly to the positive, from her current canon point it also makes her headstrong.
Lily Evans is a strong-willed, determined young woman who wants to do The Right Thing. She grew up the beloved younger daughter, prettier, smarter and more talented than her older sister and doted upon by her parents. She’s friendly, intelligent and charismatic, and it’s likely due to these things and the fact that she’s still young that she tends to be rather single-minded about others also doing The Right Thing – it comes easily to her, and while she understands that others might not have had her advantages, she doesn’t regard this as an excuse. She’s faced her own difficulties and prejudices, after all, and has managed quite well.
Abilities/Powers:
She’s a witch! Capable of casting spells both with and without a wand. Her best subjects include Charms (applying effects to objects and people), Transfiguration (turning one thing into another) and Potions (brewing liquids with magical effects).
Items:Clothes, her wand, the letter informing her that she’s been made Head Girl, a few coins both muggle and wizarding.
Samples
I FOUND ONE
AND ANOTHER
Lily pursed her lips, staring down at her wand. Ten and a quarter inches, willow. Swishy. Good for charms work, usually, but in this place? Next to useless, apparently. Still, she couldn’t help but keep it on her, just in case.
And…potentially for sentimental reasons. All right, so there was a high chance there were sentimental reasons. Her wand had been a part of her for so long now, she didn’t like to think of being without it. It was more than that, though. Even in Loria, without her magic, her wand was an indicator of what she really was. A reminder that without spells, she was still a witch.
She no longer felt the need to prove it, not really. Anyone who didn’t believe it was too scared of her (or James Potter, the prat) to make much of it, after all. But that was back at Hogwarts where she didn’t need to prove it because everyone knew that she could, if the occasion called for it. In Loria, it was quite another case entirely. Even before she had known what she was, her magic had been there, manifesting itself in small ways, a constant comfort.
And now it was gone. So Lily kept her wand with her as a reminder, and felt better for it.
That said (or thought), she was capable of plenty even without her magic, and Astor needed all the help it could get. Working as a waitress (she refused to be referred to as wench) at the tavern might not have been the best use of her talents, but it did put her in the position to hear things she might otherwise have missed, and put together a moderately impressive compendium of information about the strange land she’d found herself in.
Tucking her back into her sleeve, Lily straightened her shoulders and tightened her ponytail. “That’s quite enough of that for today,” she murmured quietly to herself, returning to the bar.
