===The Loss===
Lily took her mother's place as leader of the New Orleans witches after a hurricane razed the city to its foundations. Before her mother's passing, she suspected that her mother nursed an odd soft spot for the Mikaelsons (Eljiah, Niklaus, and Rebekah). Living in the Bayou, Lily began to shut down any talk of retaliation by reminding the Mikaelsons that the witches' own hands were responsible for their current misery. She believed that the Mikaelsons and the vampires were a complete threat to her and her kin, and intended to make sure they paid for their sins and tyranny.
==Personality==
Lily harbored a grudge against vampires for what happened to the witches and wanted vengeance against them and the Mikaelsons for their tyranny against her kin. She has shown to be crazed and determined in her cause and mission, even lying about her daughter. She was also deceitful as she tricked Klaus into resurrecting her cousin Vivianne so she could act as a door for the undead witches. 
After becoming a mort-vivant herself, she was more crazed and savage into completing what she had set out to do, which instead caused her downfall.
==Physical Appearance==
