Lily Thicket

Lily is an Ex-Human currently residing within the Outwash plane. She has a strange appearance compared to many of the ex-humans as an attempted heir of the Duchess, with pale, smooth, featureless skin and a long neck topped with a toothed beak like head. She finds herself now just trying to live within the harsh and dangerous plane, hoping to provide a comforting voice to those marooned in the plane.

## Background

Originally from Terra, she was a prominent Lady of a Horticultural society, being the daughter of the head of house. Exploring the glades surrounding her home however, she tripped and fell into a small cavern, with no obvious way up after recovering from the fall, she explored deeper, only for the strange plane crossing phenomena of the Outwash to lead her directly into the planes vast sewer systems. She found herself lost in a new environment, and going back through the way she came lead her to a completely new sewer system, leaving her to believe she was marooned here for good.

Lily is very different to many of the ex-humans of Outwash, with pale smooth skin and a featureless and almost serpentine appearance to her face; it contrasts heavily to the more scarred, grey and rougher ex-humans that live within the plane. These changes are due to the machinations of the Duchess, the current leader of the Smoke People within the Outwash. The Duchess has been the longest lasting leader of the Smoke people that the outwash has ever known, and although she has a trail of lackeys, none she feels are suitable as her replacement, knowing she can trust none of them. Instead she planned, with her power over the energies of the plane, to mutate specific candidates of ex-humans and attempt to create an heir that was perfect for her and would carry out her will indefinitely should she ever pass.

Like many of these 'heirs' however, Lily was also a failure, the spontaneous energy's warping her shape in unpleasing ways to the Duchess and her mind, unlike others, was unchanged. Her fate was sealed, abandoned in the vast and alien plane, she tried her best to eke out an existence, completely in the dark about whatever had caused her to changes. Lily has since met others within the plane, many of which she can comfortably call friends, this took a long time since she entered the plane however, as the first few weeks and months were agonizing, aware of everything and alone. She began spending her days trying to distract herself, locking herself in an apartment room (later becoming her permanent home) when she was able to. Sometimes she spent days at a time curled on a bed, not wanting to step a misshapen foot outside from fear of the unknown, herself, and the pains her twisted form were granting her during the change.

It took her some time to come outside and explore again, and thankfully she did, many of those like her become recluses, often losing themselves in mind or body to the pains of their changes, becoming aggressive and irritable. She first managed to meet Perro, he gave her someone to talk to, and although she was worried at first she quickly warmed up to him - letting him show her around the plane, coming out at the best times when it was dull and quiet, helping to build her confidence.

Perro was the one who brought her to Doctor, who had taken it upon himself to help any ex-humans within the plane with their ailments and issues. He had never seen changes as drastic as Lily's but promised to schedule repeat check-ups in his office to ensure nothing has become anymore debilitating about her condition.

## Trivia

* In Terra, she was a well respected harpist and lutenist in her family, being able to play the instruments with graceful timing, this was much appreciated by her family, especially her mother who loved hearing her songs and tunes whilst she gardened.
	+ This talent was dropped upon entering the Outwash, losing her fingers playing a big part in this, she misses playing, however hopes even in her state that she might still be able to play the harp.
* She has a fear of the Rats and many of the other monsters that dwell within the Outwash, often finding even the white eyes quite frightful, however their voices do sooth her worry as they help to humanize them, although exacerbated in the case of the rats.
