ABOUT THE CHARACTER

Personality

Lily Evans has always tried her best, in every aspect of her life. She has always pushed herself towards being an accomplished student, a good daughter, and a loyal friend. Even though life has already dealt her a number of serious blows, she keeps trying. It’s just in her nature.

Inside of the classroom, she showed herself to be a responsible, talented and high-achieving student, which was proven to be true when she was chosen to be a Prefect by her Head of House, and Head Girl by her Headmaster. She excels in Charms and Transfiguration, and also has a knack for Potions, which Professor Slughorn has described as an instinctual understanding. Lily isn’t so sure about that, but it’s better than Divination. As determined as she was in her studies, it sometimes led to her feeling burnt out, wondering if she should just drop out of Hogwarts and work in her mum’s bakery instead. Those thoughts never lasted long, though, as Lily has entered into the training programme for Aurors (and she has burned far too many cakes to be allowed near her mum's oven again).

Outside of the classroom, Lily is known for being a vivacious, friendly and loyal person. She has always been the type of person to smile at someone who she doesn’t know, or to volunteer herself for a task that nobody else wants to do. She is loyal to a fault, and will do whatever she can to support her friends, even if that meant helping them pack their suitcases half an hour before the train was supposed to leave or help them cram the night before a test. She always knows what to say and never misses a beat when retaliating with comebacks in her arguments, which she jokes is just the fiery colour of her hair coming through in her personality.

But even though she has a sharp tongue and has no problem in standing up to others when she feels that she needs to, Lily is still the type of person who wants to give others a second chance. With all that is wrong in the world, she wants to see the best in people, even when they have made mistakes in the past. She can be stubborn with this belief at times, wanting to protect herself from getting hurt again, but she will give someone a second chance if she thinks that they deserve one.  At the end of the day, she has sound moral principles, and chooses to stand by them regardless of the cost, because she knows that she would find it too difficult to look at herself in the mirror if she didn’t.

Bio

Born in Cokeworth, England, Lily Evans was the youngest daughter of her Muggle parents, William and Rose Evans. The Evans weren’t an extremely wealthy family, but Lily had enjoyed a comfortable childhood alongside her older sister, Petunia, with whom she was quite close to during those years.

Lily’s world was forever changed when she was nine years old, and met a young boy from Spinner’s End. Severus Snape, or Sev, as she called him. He had been the person who told her that she was a witch, and taught her all he knew about the wizarding world before she had even received her letter. It should have been a time in her childhood that she remembered fondly, but these new abilities and her friendship with Severus strained Lily’s relationship with her sister, to such an extent that it never truly recovered.

As did all magical children, Lily received her Hogwarts letter on her 11th birthday, much to the joy of her parents. They accompanied her to Diagon Alley to buy her school supplies, where she couldn’t contain her delight at getting her wand in Ollivanders’, even though it had taken a while to figure out how the different currency worked there.

The following school year, Lily started her attendance at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She met other students on the train and on the way to the Great Hall, where she was sorted into Gryffindor House, and went on to share a dormitory with four other Gryffindors; Mary, Marlene, Dorcas and Alice.

It hadn’t taken long for Lily to make her mark in Hogwarts, both inside and outside of the classroom. She found it surprisingly easy to make friends with the other students in her year, and became quite skilled at Charms and Transfiguration. As the months went by, she also displayed a proficiency for Potions, which eventually led to Professor Slughorn inviting her to join his Slug Club in fourth-year. She excelled in her studies, to such an extent that she was given the role of Prefect and Head Girl.

With her grades, Lily knew she would have options when she graduated from Hogwarts. There were so many opportunities, both in the Wizarding World and the Muggle World. But she knew that, with the rumours of Death Eaters taking a stand against the ever-changing world and whispers of Dumbledore planning to fight back against them, that she wanted to take a stand and fight for what's right. Which led her to enrolling in the Auror training programme, watching the developments with a close eye so that she might be ready to step up when called upon.

what we all know: Lily Evans had been living a normal life for a muggle. Just trying to spend her time with her sister and fill her days with something to do, but that became not as hard when she found out she was a wizard. It was meeting Severus Snape that first made this realization come to life, then she got her letter and was soon off to create the best life for herself. Being sorted into Ravenclaw with Severus, who is her best friend, was perfect and the two were always together. She easily made it to the top of her class and once she was out of school, she was picked to join the order and accepted without hesitation. She wants to create a safe world for those like her.

The second of two beautiful baby girls, both children were loved so deep that they could hardly believe there was darkness in the world. A darkness that lied closer to home than Lily would ever be able to dream of as she grew older. From such a young age there was an innocence in her green eyes that was untouched by unhappiness or cruelty. Lily loved Petunia with everything that a younger sister was supposed to. She worshiped the ground that her older sister walked on, wanting to follow her and take part in anything that she was doing. While most older children would push their younger siblings away Petunia was never like that, she did her best to include her younger sister. Perhaps it was because she always thought that Lily was her parents favorite and including her made her even better in their eyes, whatever the reason she didn’t dream of not including her sister. That was until weird things started happening. Weird things that Lily could never explain, things that Petunia would often run home and tattle on her sister for.

Lily and Petunia were playing in the park when she insisted on showing her sister how she could make flower petals move without actually touching them. Petunia taunted her, insisting that she was a freak and ran off to tell their parents. Hot tears formed in Lily’s eyes and threatened to fall before she heard a voice that would shape most of her childhood telling her that she was special, she was a witch. Severus sat with her and explained to her about the wizarding world, that he was a wizard and that they would attend Hogwarts together. They would learn about how to control their magic better and how they would learn more advanced magic as well.

Professor McGongall showed up, just as Severus said he would, explaining to her parents what she was and what Hogwarts to do for her. Unbeknownst to her as she listened in excitement with her parents by her side it was her sister who listened with dread. Little did Lily know this would be the last moment that her sister considered her anything other than a freak.

Hogwarts was everything that Severus promised it would be, the two were sorted into Ravenclaw meaning they’d keep joined at the hip as they’d been before. As the years passed Lily proved that despite not being a pureblood like some around her that she was brighter then they would ever be. Professor’s would often use her as an example, questioning why people couldn’t be more like her, and while some would taunt her for this, Lily loved being the example. She enjoyed people knowing that she was doing right and that she was the best at what she did. A drive that came from deep within, perhaps because she was eager to prove that she was meant to be here, even with the dirty looks she received from some.

Magic was beautiful, everything in it was a component and it was Lily who enjoyed breaking down the pieces of each spell. Such thirst for knowledge and understand made it easy to see why after graduation she soared as a Curse breaker. And with her best friend by her side the two joined the Order, easy to see the right from the wrong and willing to fight those who didn’t think she deserved that magic she possessed.

SEVERUS SNAPE - Severus has been Lily’s best friend since they were kids. He always helped her when she needed it and did what he could to make sure she didn’t fully feel like a muggle born who didn’t know anything. Having him by her side during this war has been a blessing, giving her someone she could talk to and rely on with everything going on. 

JAMES POTTER - The first time she met James, he was arrogant and just rude. Lily easily wrote him off and decided that he wasn’t worth her time. However, the next time she ran into him left her stumped a bit. He seemed quieter and almost... shy? He was spending a lot of time with Remus, but she didn’t know why. Something was going on and she intends to find out what. 

BERTHA JORKINS - Bertha was the kind of person Lily couldn’t stand. She was overly confident and wouldn’t shut up, but whenever she would talk to her she’d just nod her head and act like she was listening. Everyone knows what’s Bertha is up to, and Lily doesn’t see it working out for her, but who is she to shoot down someone’s plans?

The second of two beautiful baby girls, both children were loved so deep that they could hardly believe there was darkness in the world. A darkness that lied closer to home than Lily would ever be able to dream of as she grew older. From such a young age there was an innocence in her green eyes that was untouched by unhappiness or cruelty. Lily loved Petunia with everything that a younger sister was supposed to.

Lily and Petunia were playing in the park when she insisted on showing her sister how she could make flower petals move without actually touching them. Petunia taunted her, insisting that she was a freak who’d be hunted and ran off to tell their parents. Hot tears formed in Lily’s eyes and threatened to fall before she heard a voice that would shape most of her childhood telling her that she was special, she was a witch. Severus sat with her and explained to her about the wizarding world, that he was a wizard and that they would attend Hogwarts together. They would learn about how to control their magic better and how they would learn more advanced magic as well.

Professor McGongall showed up, just as Severus said he would, explaining to her parents what she was and what Hogwarts to do for her. Unbeknownst to her as she listened in excitement it was her parents and sisters who listened with dread. For their youngest daughter was something that they despised, something that they hunted and wanted to rid the world of. Wizards and Witches were unnatural but they kept their mouths shut, already planning to use this to their advantage. Their brilliant red head would lead them right where they needed to be without even realizing it, she would be collateral damage in a much bigger war.

Hogwarts was everything that Severus promised it would be and as the years passed Lily proved that despite not being a pureblood like some around her that she was brighter then they would ever be. Professor’s would often use her as an example, questioning why people couldn’t be more like her, and while some would taunt her for this, Lily loved being the example. She enjoyed people knowing that she was doing right and that she was the best at what she did. A drive that came from deep within, perhaps because she was eager to prove that she was meant to be here, even with the dirty looks she received from some.

One person who was consistent her entire time at Hogwarts was James Potter, with his big head and smooth talking. Even when Severus called her a mudblood and James stepped forward to defend her honor she refused him, she didn’t need to be dependent on him to protect her after all she had been dependent on Severus just for him to turn on her. But something changed in their seventh year it was almost as if she saw James in a light that she never had before. Every time that she had turned him down and he had refused to give up on her, she wondered why he didn’t and even so she wondered why she never gave him a chance. Soon into their seventh year she took a chance and went on that date, and from there she saw there was more to James Potter. He was there for her and helped to carry the weight on her shoulders. With the war brewing around them, Lily looks at her boyfriend and her friends and has hopes that their future can be bright. But yet there’s a feeling that she can’t shake that something isn’t right given that her family seems to ask one too many questions about her world and the people in it.

JAMES POTTER – Her boyfriend and one of her most trusted companions. Lily can’t believe that it took her as long as it did to give him a chance but she’s grateful for where they are now. She tells him everything, including her feeling about her family.

MARY MACDONALD – A fellow muggleborn, it was easy to bond with Mary over the muggle things and the new wizarding things that they learned about. Lily is grateful to have found her.

SEVERUS SNAPE – They were supposed to be best friends forever but now she can’t even look at him without feeling as though she was punched in the gut. Lily couldn’t believe that Severus turned on her at the drop of a dime.
