Lilian Evergarden

Lily

*"O-one aspect of a-adventuring that I liked was the unknown, and it's discovery. I dr-dreamt of being able to discover s-something completely n-new, and document it for everyone to see and learn. I wanted to seek knowledge and share it with the world. And I still do."*

**Lilian Evergarden,** also known as **Lily,** is a member of the Adventurer's Guild, played by @GalaxyNinja678.

## Appearance

Lilian is a petite human, at just 5'1, with shaggy black hair and gentle, kind brown eyes. Her skin is fair, her build is bit skinny and she always has a nervous smile plastered on her face. Lily usually wears very stereotypical wizard garb, her default being a violet wizard robe and hat, as well as some thin-framed, circular glasses. She also is known to always carry around a thin gold chain necklace with a circular ruby pendant. Lately however, she has been stylizing her appearance more; with the addition of some minor jewelry, her Cape of the Mountebank and her black outer corset that cinches the waist of the robe. Ribbons now tie her sleeves and the trim of her neckline, long sleeves and robe are decorated with golden patterns. She wears potion bottle earrings of asymmetric color/design AND she has a deep maroon bracer with a magically glowing citrine jewel.

## Personality

Lilian Evergarden is a very anti-social, nervous person. She is almost always worried when talking to other people, which is portrayed by her constant nervous stutter, avoiding of eye contact and her mumbling. Despite this, Lily will treat anyone and everyone with kindness and open-mindedness, and really tries to get out there and socialize more. Since her time in the guild, her social anxiety and stutter has greatly improved, and she is able to talk to people a lot more than she originally could. Her self-esteem has also made progress, and she now focuses on not just listening to others but also to herself.

Lily is an academic-lover, and dedicates herself to her studies. Her favorite subject is history, but she also quite enjoys alchemy, arcana and just about any academic based topic out there. She also adores books, and is never caught somewhere without one; except maybe on the battlefield or in training. Can't risk them getting burnt! Lily is in her element when in comes to talking about these subjects, so when inquired about them she can get a little passionate; but all her rants end with an apology. She is quite easily embarrassed, after all.

## History

### Backstory

Once a child prodigy, Lilian was a complete nerd at her magic school. Though many wizards there were, she was among the highest in the academic department. She even worked part-time at her childhood library (which since has shut down), but now volunteers at the AG's. She loves history, magic and alchemy, but is overjoyed at the mention of fantasy and stories. In fact, it brings a smile to her face knowing that she grew up in the world she did. She couldn't imagine how dull life would be without magic, how would she even get by? It excited her to know that there is so much that we don't know, so much to discover. Even so, Lily tried her best not to show her excitement too much. She was a very shy young woman, often finding it hard to even meet new people without making a fool of herself. Not to mention her fighting skills used to be looked down upon constantly. She wasn't the greatest at fighting at first, and many others would tease her about her lack of muscle. Wanting to prove them wrong, she was and STILL IS training hard. She may not be the most brawny, but she has come a long way since then. Her dream to become a true adventurer and explore the great unknown for more knowledge to add to her collection is coming to fruition!

## Relationships

### Cogz Sprocket

Cogz is Lily's best friend. An unlikely pair, the goblin artificer and human wizard seemingly hit it off after a first couple of missions and have become very close. Cogz has even made Lily her Arcane Grimoire, and she full-heartedly adores the bracer's design and utility. She will more often than not visit him and catch up on his inventions or shenanigans.

### Lyra

Lyra is Lily's friend, whom she met after Lyra banged her head against the window in the tavern. Lyra is a friend of Cogz, which made the get-to-know process easier, and Lily enjoys having conversations with her. They talk about their passions and Lily finds it easy to talk to her, which she can't say about a lot of people. Lily has grown closer to her after her trip to a sigil bookshop, and still requests to pay her back for the costs. Let her pay you back, Lyra.

### Wini Goodmead

Wini is Lily's friend, whom she had met on a gold mission. Wini is a very powerful magic user who had used her mastery of time to save Lily from being petrified, and now Lily is forever grateful to the halfling. Lily enjoys talking to Wini about various spells and magic, as well as learning a thing or two about how their studies of the arcane differs from each other's. They even tested out spells on each other, which had built a level of trust between the two.

### Revv

Revv is Lily's friend, who she met on a platinum mission when they went to go defeat Krazrog and Dorz. Revv is an excitable and friendly individual, who Lily finds very sweet and a bit loud, but she doesn't mind that too much.

### Jefferson Toxibreath

Jefferson is Lily's friend, who she had met on his first few days of being around the guild, long after Lily had reached platinum. Jefferson is a bit of a dolt who doesn't make the best choices or act in the most appropriate way, but Lily still enjoys his company. She even decided to take him out shopping to get him new clothes, considering he only had one suit that was torn and dirtied. She gets a bit upset every time she sees he has dirtied the clothes again, but is happy he enjoys them so much.

### Jamie Evergarden

Jamie is Lily's younger brother, and is the light of her life. He is just 9 years old, and despite Lily being 11 years older, she is as close as a sibling could be. Jamie is a mischievous and creative boy, and Lily will talk till the cows come home about how much she adores her baby brother. You do not want to see Lily when someone messes with Jamie... she's a tad over-protective.

### Freddie Amberhide

Freddie is Lily's friend and ex-coworker from her childhood library. He had originally come off too strong and made unreciprocated attempts at wooing the wizard, but has since then apologized and reconciled with her. They now meet up every once in a while to catch-up about life.

## Trivia/Facts/Whatever Else You Want

* Lily was originally going to be a bard before Crimson decided wizard was more fun, so as a little nod to that Crimson imagines she has a wonderful singing voice and she doesn't stutter while she sings.
* Lily is actually a self-insert of Crimson before they really delve into character story and lore, and now doesn't share many similarities with Lilian but Crimson adores her nonetheless.
* Lily has a friendship bracelet that was made on a pbp mission, each party member got one. They are made up from one feather per member, and is comprised of: - A plain, glistening white (like the snow) feather from her familiar, Astro. - A shining, golden (like the sun) feather from Sunny DeLion, which reads, “I AM A GREAT HERO!” - A glossy, black (like the night sky) feather from Mouser, which is signed by a thieves cant symbol that means, “Friend.” - A lustrous, black and white (like the stars) feather from Lim the Seer, which reads, “Speaker of the Spirits.” - A glimmering, gradient of browns, whites and golds (like the evening sky) feather from Thunder of the Storm.
* Lily is a biromantic demisexual.
* Lily's simulacrum is named Lilac, so both names/nicknames are based off flowers that start with "Li-".
