#curious one

[ This is the information I have on her so far, I used a template my sister found for me which can be located here.

As for the pictures included, they were found on Google and edited by me. The face claim I am using for her at fourteen, I believe is a model by the name of Leyla Erdmann. The one for her at sixteen is Acacia Brinley, and the newest (and oldest) one for her is Georgie Henley. ] 

                   [I am willing to write her older, even if the oldest version of her is still being worked on.. just ask me. :) ]

Backstory

After having given up on finding Steve when his plane went down in the ice, Howard Stark thought that he was smart enough to figure out how to remake the Super Soldier Serum - that he could figure it out even without the help of the original creator’s help. Naturally, that meant that he needed someone to test it out / use it on.

Having gotten this idea when his wife was already pregnant with their second child, he decided to use her. Although Maria protested to it, something was given to the baby not long after she was born, and she was then cryogenically frozen. Then telling everyone that Maria lost the baby, this is where she stayed - the same lab where Howard was trying to reconstruct the serum and the process of creating a Super Soldier.

Since he intended to use the serum on her from the beginning, this was another reason that the baby was kept ‘on ice.’ To be kept young, in affect, until when the serum was finally finished.

Given that he and Maria died before that could happen, or he could finish trying to remake the serum, she, and the unfinished worked on project, sat forgotten in that lab; until it was found years later. 

When both were found, they thawed her out, and tried to contact Tony. It was, unfortunately, during the time when he just could not ‘be bothered’ with anything - and he could never be gotten ahold of. With that in mind, the next relative that they found to send her to live with was their cousin Morgan (he’s from the comics, I found him while looking up the family tree) with as minimal information as possible. SHIELD having figured since she’d never actually been experimented on yet, and was therefore a normal baby, there was no reason not to give her back to her family. 

Later on when she is old enough to be told about her brother, she is the one to find Tony and initiate contact with him.

Basic info

Full Name: Lillian Reenae Stark

Nickname(s)

She has quite a few, the one most often used by most people, is simply ‘Lil.’ 

Biological age: 16

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Straight

Date of actual birth: October 12th

Date she was thawed out and uses as her birthday: November 17th

Species: Human

Ethnicity: American (?)

Blood Type: AB-

Affiliations/Organizations: The Avengers, Stark Enterprises (by birth)

Current Occupation: Aspiring hero; little sister of Tony Stark.

General Appearance...

Lillian is paler than Tony, due to the fact that she spends most of her time inside reading or tinkering with things instead of going outside. She has light green hair, which she keeps long; naturally, her hair is the same shade of brown that her other relatives have/had. They are not very visible, but Lillian does also have a bit of occasional freckles lightly scattered around on her.

She has small ears, which is part of why she keeps her hair long. Another thing she hides about herself as much as possible is that she has small feet (what some would call “pixie feet.”) Lillian does this by stuffing extra ‘fluff’ into her tennis shoes and wearing ones that are technically too big for her. (Side note: her feet are not the only things she has to do this with out of being self-conscious.)

Height: About five-foot, maybe taller. No one can agree.

Weight: A hundred and ten dripping wet.(Like if someone dumped water on her..Like maybe Tony...)

Handedness: Ambidextrous, but more prone to using her left hand.

Tattoos/Birthmarks/Scars: Lillian is a bit clumsy, so she has a few scars here and there from falling or smacking herself in the face while working. She has no real tattoos, but has a habit of drawing on herself while thinking or getting as many fake tattoos as she can. Sparkly ones are her favorites - specifically food with faces.

Jewelry/Accessories: She has one ear piercing on her upper right ear, and has a belly button piercing that she did herself.

Who she is...

Personality: Lillian is very inquisitive, and likes to read. She has a problem with sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong, and with figuring things out that other people do not necessarily want her to know. Lillian has a caring nature that is sometimes masked by smart-talk and facts (basically, to convince someone not to do something, she will site statistics as to why they shouldn’t do it and why it is a bad idea.) While Lillian is very smart in a scientific and mathematical sense, she also tries to think things through from a ‘common sense’ point of view. Her mind is more open to the unknown: this makes her more apt to believe things that might actually contradict science or reason, than one might think she would be.

Favorite things: Books in general, solving puzzles or riddles, animals, stickers (mostly scratch and sniff or sparkly ones), oddly named crayons, her sort of rickety little robot friend Roddy. (That she built and is constantly repairing.) Older tv shows, movies, or books.

Least Favorite things: Being told she can’t do something because she is ‘too small,’ losing or having her books taken away from her; when her favorite book series ends too soon, or she has to wait on the next book for too long, not being able to figure something out.

Hobbies/Interests: Reading books, building or tinkering with things (she also will take things apart to see how they work or try to fix them.) She likes to draw, collect different types of markers, crayons, or other art supplies which she finds interesting. (Side note: when upset, she will either count extensively, recite the numbers of pie, or try to put her crayons in an alphabetical order.)

Phobias/Fears: Her biggest fears are that she will one day deteriorate to the point that she loses her mind, or that she will end up alone in the world. (So yes, she does worry about her brother, even though they are constantly giving each other a hard time.)

Habits: Lillian has a habit of talking to herself, sometimes chews on her pencil’s eraser, clicks her tongue in thought, chewing on her lips or inner cheek, or sometimes tapping her pencil.

Mannerisms: Lillian tends to be more of a happy person, and will talk non-stop when it comes to science or trying to learn about something. Most of the time though, she is to be seen in silent contemplation or with her nose stuck in a book. When speaking, she has a habit of saying things like “um,” or “so,” quite a lot.

Skills/Talents: She is a talented artist, even though she does not think so. Her biggest strengths are in fixing things up and figuring out things quicker than other people might.

Best Qualities: Smart, tries to use common sense, a big heart, and a huge sense of curiosity and wonder about the world.

Worst Qualities: Sometimes is too curious, does not know when to leave things alone, often disobeys what she is told to do if she thinks she knows better, has been known to overthink things into the ground and get stuck.

Morality/Ethics: Lillian has a strong sense of doing what she believes to be right. If she can help it, she won’t lie to people or take advantage of them.

Goals/Motivations/Dreams: Lillian’s goal is to one day be seen as a great hero and to help as many people as she can. (Whether through science or other means, she just really wants to help the world.) 

Her other goal is to keep her older brother (or anyone else, for that matter) from finding out about her growing crush on a certain web-slinger. 

How she relates to others...

Reputation: Since she is and isn’t much like her brother, a lot of people are still developing opinions on her.

Friend(s)/Ally(ies): Tony Stark, Natasha Romanov, Steve Rogers, Clint Barton, Thor, Bruce Banner, Pepper Potts, Alexa Young. (My sister’s Oc.) Doctor Strange (and his cape.) Emily (another OC of mine) Peter Parker 

Unsure of: Loki

Enemy(ies): Hydra, or probably anyone else who would be enemies of the Avengers.

Relationship(s):

Anthony “Tony” Edward Stark: Lillian’s older brother, who she has a sort of ‘love-hate’ type relationship with. They pester one another a lot, though she actually does admire him and looks up to his success with robotics and with building his own technology. Lillian has also said before that if anyone else hurts him, she “Knows how to scientifically remove them from existence with such precision that she would never get caught.” (i.e. She can kill you and get rid of your body and no one would ever know.) 

{ This is my interpretation of how their relationship would be. If you want to write differently, be my guest. c: } 

Alicia Stark: 

They have had little time to interact so far or to learn about each other, but she is already very fond of her sister. (Her nickname for her is ‘Leecy.’)

{ Her blog is ran by a friend of mine, and can be found here <3 } 

Samantha Ascher: 

They have not had a lot of time to interact with each other, but she likes her older sister very much. It’s a work-in-progress sort of thing. 

{ Her blog is ran by another friend of mine, and can be found here. <3 } 

                                                           . . . 

[Lillian now, at 16 ^ ]

[Work in progress/Lillian older 18-? This would be her if she wasn’t dyeing her hair at the time.]

Curious One:  Have you read this article were the skeptics are mentioned? What do you think? Doesn’t sound nice :(  

Anna:  I think Tabitha Carvan should take a page out of Xojane’s book and make up a pseudonym the next time she decides to write a think piece for a site.  I also think Google is a wonderful thing:  LINK

“Don’t fall in love with a curious one.

They will want to know who you are, where you come from, what your family was like. They will look through your photographs and read all of your poems. They will come over for dinner and speak to your mother about how their curiosity has taught them things of use to her. They will ask you to rant when you’re angry and cry when you’re hurt. They will ask what that raised eyebrow meant. They will want to know your favorite food, your favorite color, you favorite person. They will ask why. They will buy that camera you liked, pay attention to that band you love in case there’s a show near by, they will get you the sweater you smiled at once. They’ll learn to cook your favorite meals. The curious people don’t settle for your shell, they want the insides. They want what makes you heavy, what makes you uneasy, what makes you scream for joy, and anger, and heartbreak. Their skin will turn into pages that you learn to pour out your entire being in. Don’t fall in love with the curious one. They won’t let a sigh go unexplained. They will want to know what they did Exactly what they did to make you love them. Year, month, week, day. “What time was it? What did I say? What did I do? How did you feel?” Don’t fall in love with a curious one because I’ve been there. They will unbutton your shirt and read every scar every mark every curve. They will dissect your every limb, every organ, every thought, every being then walk back home and eat their dinner and never return your calls. You will never be their lifelong expedition. The heart is a mystery only for so long. There is no ache like loving a curious one who chases every falling star and never catching one. Who comes and sees and conquers and leaves.

I’ve fallen in love with a curious one. Maybe one day she will take the train back home and be curious enough to read one last message from me carved on a seat.

“There’s a curiosity in you that will move mountains some day as effortlessly as you’ve moved me for years.”
