Lily Tucker-Pritchett

Lily Elizabeth Tucker-Pritchett is Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker's adopted Vietnamese daughter. She is the older adoptive sister of Rexford Jason Tucker-Pritchett and the co-owner of Larry.
Lily was born in Vietnam on January 7, 2008 and was adopted as a baby by Mitch and Cam in September 2009. Mitchell originally wanted to wait to tell the extended family that they had adopted Lily. However, Cameron knew that Mitchell would shy away from introducing her forever, so he plans a surprise dinner where he introduces the baby in a Lion King manner. The whole family welcome her with open arms. 
Lily was cared for by a group of Vietnamese women while she was in the orphanage, which was revealed in, "Fears". It is unknown if she was cared for before this, but her parents either died or abandoned her. In "Open House of Horrors", Lily believed her birth Mom was a princess due to Mitchell telling her so, when he was very sleepy, believing she would let it go but didn't. So, Cameron and Mitch have to reveal to 3 year old Lily, that they don't know who or where her mother is. 
As a baby, Lily was a constant center of attention, being the youngest of the Tucker-Pritchett family. Cameron becomes a stay-at-home Dad with Lily, while Mitchell goes to work. Lily is a sophisticated young woman.
She is at times, doing activities with both of her fathers, but remains with her father, Cam at home while Mitchell works. Cameron often dressed her up as celebrities when she was a baby, such as Diana Ross, Madonna, and Ray Charles for the purpose of taking photographs. Cameron and Mitchell attempted to practice the Ferber method on Lily but Cameron can't resist catering to her during the night. According to Cam, Lily liked the movie Scarface. Another noticeable thing about Lily is that in most episodes she appears in she is seen with "Doggy", her stuffed dog, which appears to be a Labrador. She was a quiet and peaceful baby when portrayed by infants Ella and Jaden Hiller, and does not speak for the first two seasons.
In later seasons, Lily becomes a bubbly toddler with a snarkiness she seems to get from her parents as well as her aunt Claire, who often babysits her, this was revealed in "Fulgencio". Even at a young age, Lily has shown kindness and selflessness, such as when she ran to get Joe as his pirate castle collapses ("Integrity") and when she gives her Puppy Pound toy to a homeless boy for Christmas ("The Old Man & the Tree"). Although, in "Crying Out Loud", her parents express how they have noticed Lily has not developed a sense of empathy so far, but, this may be due to the fact that she tends to display snarkiness more than empathy.
Lily is a hilarious, entertaining, and charming character with a sassy personality. In "Little Bo Bleep", Lily is heard saying the F-word multiple times in front of a congregation solely for the purpose of making her daddy laugh hysterically. Lily quickly picks up on words or phrases said by other people, including from her aunt, Claire Dunphy. In the episode "Fulgencio", Lily repeats snarky and sarcastic lines originally said by Claire, who had been spending time with her.
In Season 3 Lily is no longer played by babies Ella & Jaden Hiller, but instead by bubbly preschooler Aubrey Anderson-Emmons. She now begins to talk and becomes a full-fledged character. She is vocal about not wanting a new baby brother, but instead, a kitten named Larry which they adopt. She is shown to have some other faults typical of toddlers, such as difficulty with sharing.
She has had a petty rivalry with Luke and Manny because of this, until Joe is born in "Party Crasher". 
==Physical Appearance (as Aubrey Anderson-Emmons)==
Lily has olive skin, black-brown long waist-length curly hair, and black eyes. She is bi-ethnic.
==Mishaps with Lily==
There have been several occasions in which Lily has been involved with and/or caused a problem during an episode:
<tabber>
Season 1=The Bicycle Thief Lily seems behind, so Mitchell "steals another child's intellectual property", as he puts it, before realizing all playdates are recorded. Run for Your Wife Cameron has finally convinced Mitchell to dance with Lily. But Mitchell accidentally hits Lily's head on a door jamb when he throws her up in the air. After quite a bit of fussing, more by her fathers than by herself, Mitchell and Cam finally decide to take her into the doctor. It turned out Lily was fine, but it wasn't long before the next little incident occurred. Hawaii During a Hawaiian vacation, Mitch and Cam get into an argument that continues when they leave the elevator – and neither of them pushes the baby carriage out with them. Luckily Gloria finds a run-away Lily on the first floor.

Season 3=Planes, Trains and Cars Mitchell and Cameron lose Lily's favorite stuffed bunny on the subway. She keeps Mitchell and Cameron up all night and they try to tell her that her bunny went to a magical land and to sleep with a different stuffed animal, which doesn't work either. Little Bo Bleep Lily discovers that cursing (particularly using the F-word) can elicit laughter from her Daddy, so she repeatedly drops the F-bomb as Cam and Mitch try to teach her not to say it. The episode culminates with Lily loudly shouting the F-bomb while she is a flower girl at a wedding. Disneyland It is revealed that Lily is a "runner", meaning that Lily will sometimes just run off, leaving her Daddy and Dad to try and look for her. Cam and Mitch try to keep her from straying from the family but it is to no avail; she dashes off at every opportunity, much faster than her Daddy and Dad can catch her. Finally, Cam resorts to putting a leash on her, though Mitchell can feel other parents judging her. Their parenting problem is solved when Jay buys Lily a pair of baby high heels, in which she has no choice but to walk her way along slowly and carefully.
|-|
Season 4=Party Crasher She is shown to be favoring Mitchell and Cam goes out of his way to win back her affection. She is accidentally injured several times in this episode by Cam. Career Day Lily waits up for the tooth fairy and causes Cam to accidentally leave her quite a bit more money than he planned. Cam and Mitch pull out all the stops to get it back. The Future Dunphys Lily announces to her parents and Gloria that she is gay because she thinks that since both of her parents are gay, she is automatically gay as well. Later in the episode, it is discovered that she says this because of her desire to be more like her parents. 
|-|
Season 5=Spring-a-Ding-Fling Jay and Gloria were watching Lily. However, when Gloria’s phone breaks, they think Lily did it. She never admits she did it, Jay and Gloria were suspicious that she was lying. After a bit, Jay and Gloria deduced that Lily may have a big lying problem. She even said Joe was walking when to their prior knowledge, he couldn't. They have been trying to get him to walk because he was a little behind his age group. To their surprise, Joe did walk to Lily and she got away with it.
|-|
Season 7=The PartyLily (with the bribe of as much Soda she could drink), Luke and Manny throw a party the same night Phil and Mitch are given some gummy bears with weed/THC in them at a movie premiere from a friend. Both Claire and Gloria are out together. Leaving Manny and Luke to watch over Lily. Phil and Mitch just ate the gummy bears just as the alert from his and Claire's security system went off. Indicating that there was a fire but the alarm stopped immediately afterward so Phil thought nothing of it. Claire insists that the boys are up to no good seeing as they were so insistent on getting them out of the house. Gloria calls Manny to prove her wrong and he tells her that they burnt the cookies they were baking. Since Manny never lies to Gloria, she believed him. Luke yells at Manny that the house's oven is broken. Claire informs Gloria of this and concludes that there is a party. Claire calls Phil and he, the girls and Mitchell all go to the Dunphy house to investigate. Lily hides the kids at the party with her in one of the rooms, making sure they are quiet while the parents are in the house.
