Lily has a distinctively charming appearance with medium-length silver hair with two black ribbons on each side of her head and a white lily above her right ribbon. She has a slim body, large bust and ash pink eyes.

Lily wears the typical Lamplight uniform: a maroon bow and brown, midi-length sleeveless dress with a scoop neckline over a white collared shirt with a maroon ribbon under the collar.

As a spy, Lily wears ashy pantyhose, black heeled boots, and a short, high-waist, black, suspender dress with white trim on the bottom and four golden buttons on the front. Under the dress, she wears a dark gray shirt with slightly puffed sleeves, a ruffled collar, and a black and white ribbon tied into a bow.

## Personality

Lily is a kind, energetic and impulsive girl with a strangely positive attitude that can best be summarized with the philosophy ‘anything goes’. This gets her into a lot of trouble. Lily is a huge Klutz and often acts without thinking even if she knows the right course of action. Sometimes she uses this assumption to take advantage of people who underestimate her because of her klutziness, like in Volume 4 where Lily went undercover as a waitress, pretending to enter the wrong room while delivering burgers under the guise of being careless. Lily could move freely throughout the building, and all it cost her was some exasperation from the conference attendees. It gave her the opportunity to set up bugs to the bottom of their tables while pretending to be a scatterbrained waitress.

Lily is a kind, bubbly and good natured girl at heart, putting in her all as Lamplight's team leader. While Lily is by no means against indulging in the luxuries of being a spy, Lily’s true motivation comes from a desire and duty to help others as a certain spy has done for her.. Even with her klutzy attitude and several missteps. In fact, Lily seems to be a rather self-aware individual. Not just acknowledging but understanding her flaws and overall character. And remaining unapologetic even so.

## Plot

### Prior to joining Lamplight

Lily was raised in a village located near the Din Republic’s borders. The Galgad Empire released a lethal poison gas onto the village Lily resided in for testing killing hundreds. The gas almost killed her, but not entirely, instead giving her a peculiar immunity to poisons. After her parents were killed during the Great War, she was scouted by a spy academy.

## Skills

### Poisons

Lily is particularly good at concocting poisons of many varieties. Such poisons include paralyzing poison gas, poison needles that put people to sleep.Contrary to Lily's personality, she holds a proper level of respect and diligence for her craft in poisoning and understands how dangerous her tools are, even if she's unaffected by poisons.

Lily's poisons did not have the best track record in her battles against elite spies. The one time in worked well was when she'd made a poison foam barricade and stopped White Spider, but that was all. Both her poison concocting and immunity are powerful abilities, but Lily didn't think she was using it to great effect.

### Poison Immunity

As a result of the Galgad Empire's releasing of still-in-testing poison gas into Lily's childhood village, Lily developed an unnatural immunity to poisons. This power allows Lily to take more risks with her poisons as any mistakes won't result in her own poisons effecting her.

## Relationships

### Pandemonium

In Lily's own words, Sybilla is a good kid. The two have demonstrated close companionship and became quick friends at the start of volume 1. The two make playful comments poking fun at each other frequently, and can be seen doing so any time they're in close proximity.

### Welter Barth

According to Lily, Welter seems like an alright guy.

### Klaus

Even after becoming a spy and going on a series of impossible missions, Lily does not believe she had given up a thing. Even through vigorous training, her days at Lamplight were filled with partying and doubting and falling in love and agonizing over how to juggle all that with her friendships. Lily thinks Klaus is a softie, more so than he let's on. As he had already given Lamplight the best youth they could ask for.

Lily was aware that 'appointing" her as the leader of Lamplight was only a ploy to motivate her. Looking at the situation objectively, there were far better people he could have chosen. But that lie was precisely what let her hold her head high.

### Forgetter

When interacting with Annette in Volume 4 one-on-one, Lily quips that there are not a lot of duos where she has to play the straight man. Annette somehow managing to be more wacky and unpredictable than her. She has a feeling that Annette is 'secretly competent as heck.' Lily gets a feeling from Annette that she's got all sorts of mad skills.

### Dreamspeaker

Whenever Thea's stories started to get sexual, Lily would always run away.
