Name:
Lily Terpsichore
Age:
Thirteen
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Lily is shorter then most people her age, standing at only 5'1" when most people are several inches taller than her. In addition to being short, Lily also has a very weak looking build. Almost like a doll, she seems like she doesn't have much muscle and her complexion is very fair. Even after spending some time in the sun, she doesn't tan much. Her skin stays mostly pale.
But, pale skin seems to match her brilliant blue eyes. The most standout feature on her face they shine like the ocean reflecting the sun and match well with her dark brown hair which, with a barely noticeable curl, tumbles down her back to reach a few inches below her collar bone.
Personality Then:
Lily was a very quiet child. Sure, she spoke, but it would only be when she had to. She was mostly reserved and quiet. She spent her few years focusing on the little school she had, it came naturally and consequently, she was one of the smartest children in her class.
Shes a really passive person. Letting things happen to her rather then making things happen. So, she was either invisible or the one being made to do things or bullied. She found company in animals and loved the beauty of nature. For some reason, she always wished she could run through a Field of flawless flowers, no weeds, no chance of getting hurt. But, she of course never found such a field.
The times Lily did talk was when she sang. Though she was a child, she still had a pretty amazing voice and a talent with music that few had. Though, she never learned an instrument, she always wished she could.
Unfortunately, Lily has a fear of insects- spiders, bugs, worms pretty much anything. The only ones she had a possibility of liking were butterflies. But she wont touch them. Out of all the bugs though, spider were her biggest phobia. Whenever she saw one, she would scream and run away. For the most part, she wouldn't go back to that area for days to come. She also has a fear of being alone. She tends to care for people even if she doesn't know them, the type of person who would take a bullet for someone.
Personality Now:
Since her earth life Lily has gained many more fears. For one, she now fears thunder/lighting as well as anyone who hurts people to any extent. To go along with that she would probably break down if someone raised their fist toward her. So, fights are another big phobia.
(Read the earth history for as to why she gained all these phobias.)
Earth History:
To sum it all up, Lily's parents were abusive. Verbally and physically. Her life was anything but normal. She was a mistake, her parents who got married because they thought it would be fun, were drunk one night and ended up conceiving her. They didn't even notice till her mother saw her stomach growing. But, her mom just though she was getting fat at first and went on an almost anorexic diet. Trying to lose her 'fat'. But she couldn't so she visited the doctor and found out she was pregnant.
Lily was lucky to even be born, and much more she was normal. Her mom smoked and drank and her dad did the same. As a baby, she was pretty much left alone and ignored. She wasn't even sure why she was even kept, but nonetheless she was.
It was no wonder she was so withdrawn when she finally went to kindergarten at four years old, almost five. No one ever seemed to notice the scars and bruises she had. She tried to cover them up anyway with long sleeves and unique ways of dressing.
So, basically, the days wore on, she got no friends and was constantly pushed around. It was better at school then at home she thought. The only time she truly enjoyed herself was when she was reading a book or singing.
Then, one day when she was seven years old, she must've done something to make her parents really mad. The moment she arrived home was practically torture. Her mom sat back for a little while as her dad yelled at her over nothing. Constantly using cuss words and occasionally hitting her with his strong big fists. Eventually, after probably an hour, he dragged Lily upstairs and locked her in the cold attic room which they almost never went into. Thunder crackled loudly outside and the light from each bolt cast menacing shadows across the walls. All around spiders crawled as well. After awhile, she couldn't help it anymore. She cried out, and lay on the floor, sobbing like there was no tomorrow. Her father and mother this time stormed into the room. Angry faces made more haunting by the lighting. The approached almost unbearably slow to Lily as she waited for yet another beating.
Second later she felt a hard blow on her side, sending her flying across the room. Her head hit the side wall with a sickening smack and she lay there for a minute, bleeding before she heard them approaching again. Tears streamed down her face as her father picked her up by her hair and, bringing her to eye level for a second. Then he cast her aside. It was the final blow, and now Lily lay in the dark attic. Dead.
Middle World History:
This time around, Lily was no accident. She was born to a loving newlywed couple as their only child. Overall, shes just way better off. Though, dreams of her past life constantly haunt her. And the fear still plagues her. Though her new parents try to comfort her, they only succeed some what.
She as of yet has to make a close friend, she's had friends but none of which she has gotten very close to.
Ability Suggestion:
Cellular Growth
This gift allows Lily to have accelerated healing of wounds and even be able to heal other people and animals. When she heals other's wounds a gentle light comes out of her hand though, she must be in close range with the wound for it to work. Her body heals itself automatically at the speeded rate, and therefore simply closes up. It does not erase the spilled blood however. She has a strong limit on healing however, though she isn't sure of the limits of her ability because healing takes a lot of her energy. Once she uses up most of her energy, she normally passes out once most of her energy is used, including if its her body thats healing. Which can turn out pretty bad because the wound wouldn't be completely healed sometimes and so it would still be there. Sometimes her body would continue trying to close the wound while she is unconscious, which can be very hazardous.
Lily in addition, has the ability to grow things at an accelerated rate this includes plants, animals, people, and herself. In the plants case she can simply make the plant grow faster and in the way she wanted it to if she wanted to have it grow a certain way. However when it comes to animals, people, and herself she is only able to make them bigger or smaller in height so far. She knows she could probably make things get older or younger if she really wanted to, but she won't try it in case she uses all her energy and something happens. The overall ability takes up slightly less of her energy but it also depends on what she uses it on. However, if she does use to much energy and faint, the creature/person/plant will return to their normal size, shape, etc.
Pets:
None as of yet. Though, Lily is trying to prove herself responsible enough to get one.
