Later, she moved to Grass Valley to attend Redmont University to gain a degree in designing to one day take over her mother's decorating business with her cousin Elle.

==History==
Lily Mae Rezza was born in Seaside, California to Samuel and Laura Rezza on March 18, 1995. Which was also the day Celesta was born. She is a witch like the rest of her family members. Her and Celesta Moone have been best friends since they were born, they are like sisters. In April of 2005, Lily was with her parents when they went to a meeting with Zachary Pierce's parents, their parents had been friends and they became childhood friends. When she was being watched by Aria, vampires lead by Seana Kane attacked at their house, killing Aria, and Markus lost most of the members of his pack, leaving only his son and him as the sole survivors of the attack, along with Lily and her parents. Zach, who was barely 11, began phasing into a werewolf, something that shouldn't of happened for years, mistaking her as Seana, who they witnessed killing Aria only moments before, attacked her, almost killing her. It was only the intervention of Scott that saved her. Laura then asked Scott to change Lily's memories of Aria's death due to the trauma it caused the young witch. She continued on to have a normal childhood, being trained by her mother as a witch, but still lead a very humane lifestyle, she didn't know of the other supernatural, being shielded from it since she was 10. She, along with her friends, went on to attend Franklin High School. She dated Brandon Kaiser for over a year till her Junior year in High School, though he later broke up with her to be with Isabel Florence. Despite her parents turning away from their witch heritage, they still taught her parts of it, but not all since they kept her sheltered due to what happened years ago.

Lily possesses all of the abilities of a witch. Being descended from the Hathaway Family, she is shown to be one of the strongest witches seen in generations. Through her father's side, she is descended from hunters, given that her great-grandfather was one. However all hunter abilities she would have are dormant, since she is mostly witch. In the chapter Stand By Me, Lily's magic was sealed by her father as punishment for using it against him to stop him from killing Scott. Her magic was later restored sometime before the chapter Monsters and Men.
