The Faerie From Another World

**Lilyflower** (full name **Mari’pix**), or “**Lily**” for short, is one of the main members of the Spectrals. She is a Faerie from the distant world of Sylva. Due to her innocent and extraterrestrial nature, she sometimes struggles with earning the respect of her teammates, while also having to navigate her new life on earth.

## Physical appearance

Lily is often described as an incredibly pretty, lovely and beautiful girl. She is tall and slim, with fair skin, golden eyes and thin eyebrows. She has a slightly upturned nose with freckles and can frequently be seen with a pink blush on her cheeks; she also has forest-brown shoulder-length hair with long bangs, which she usually decorates with small flowers.

Having a great love for shopping and human fashion, Lily’s outfits often reflect the latest fashion trends. Her clothes frequently feature earthly and light pastel colors, and more often than not incorporate floral patterns in a nod to her extraterrestial nature.

As a Faerie, Lily can channel and repress her extraterrestial form at will. Her Faerie form differs from her human one in several respects; she has purplish hair, her eyes are more prominently pink instead of gold, and she wears a natural dress made of coloured leaves, with matching wrist- and ankle bands. She also has large, purple-blueish wings, which she uses to fly and levitate (though she is able to hide them in her human form).

## Personality and traits

> ―Lilyflower

Lily is very cheerful and sweet, yet somewhat naive and considerably insecure, though her nativity should not be mistaken for stupidity. As a Faerie who grew up on another world, she is still rather new to human society and its customs. This sometimes leads to confusion for her and others, such as the awkwardness in casually drinking mustard as a beverage, and thinking cotton candy and cotton balls are the same thing. However, she also has a greatly curious personality, and is often eager to learn more about human interactions and customs.

Presumably, because English is not her first language, Lily sometimes confuses words and misuses idioms (e.g. “Kick the butt!” as opposed to “Kick butt!” or “The mall of shopping” instead of “shopping mall” as well as “lobstery” instead of “crabby”). Additionally, she sometimes uses Faeric words and phrases which do not make sense to others. She also insists on sharing her own customs with other members of the team (such as providing a crown of flowers to be worn on one’s birthday), but Lily does not generally take offense when they do not understand or refuse her.

She takes friendship very seriously and is easily distressed when others, especially her friends, argue or fight. She is arguably the most social of the team, regularly meditating with Morana, or helping Oz out in the vet clinic. She can also be particularly indignant to the point of snubbing her teammates when she believes they do not care for her friendship or company. Above all, Lily wishes to be friends with everyone she meets, and for everyone to get along. This is in part probably, as before joining the team, Lily did not have real friends, growing up as a solitary on Sylva.

While naive about human affairs, Lily has also proven to be extremely perceptive and quick-witted. She is a powerful empath, being able to sense and manipulate other people’s emotions. Unlike Morana, who usually has to restrain her emotions in order for her powers to function correctly, Lily’s powers are strongly dependent on her ability to tap into positive stimuli. However, too much exposure to particularly strong emotions can cause her to absorb them. (This can sometimes be seen when she is witness to her teammates’ fighting, which often leads her to lashing out due to her taking in their combined emotions.)

## Powers and Abilities

* **Faeric physiology:** All of Lily’s superpowers are native to her Faeric species. Though outwardly humanoid in appearance, she has several biological differences, like enhanced metabolism and advanced agility. All of her abilities are tied to her emotional state, and generally can only be triggered when a specific emotion is focused on; because of this, her powers can be weakened or compromised when she is in emotional turmoil. For example, she loses her ability to fly when feeling depressed.
	+ **Ultraviolet energy projection:** Due to her species’ connection with light and nature, Lily can project powerful bright gold-colored energy from her hands, activated by *righteous fury*. Her energy attacks produce both thermal energy and highly explosive results on contact. She can augment the effectiveness of her punches by surrounding her hands in energy, and she can also use this method to weld or carefully burn through obstacles with contact from her hands.
	+ **Light bolts:** Lily mainly discharges circular bolts of pure ultraviolet energy, which are usually launched as thrown circular projectiles.
	+ **Light generation:** Lily can intentionally use her powers to illuminate a dark area.
	+ **Light bolt waves:** She has also been shown to shoot this energy in the form of waves from her hands.
	+ **Light bolt shields:** She can erect a strong defensive energy barrier and force-field around herself.
	+ **Superhuman agility and reflexes:** Despite not being as physically strong as Oz, she possesses highly advanced agility and reflexes. Her natural fighting skills are much greater when used in conjunction with her superhuman reflexes, durability, and agility.
	+ **Superhuman stamina:** She can remain awake for long days at a time before tiring out.

* **Empathy:** Lily has the empathic ability to read and manipulate the emotions of others.

* **Levitation:** Like Morana, Lily can levitate off the ground and hover naturally. She seems to enjoy this ability a lot, as she can frequently be found practicing her flying maneuvers outside.

* **Size manipulation:** As a Faerie, Lily can manipulate her size to shrink herself, allowing her to enter areas inaccessible to normally sized beings.

### Abilities

* **Combat skills:** Despite being generally peaceful in nature, Lily often enjoys an advantage in hand-to-hand and unarmed combat due to her advanced agility. She makes up for her lack of physical strength with quick maneuverability and special Faeric fighting styles.

* **Archery skills:** Lily also appears to be versed in some weaponry, particularly a short bow and arrow.

## Weaknesses

* **Emotions:** Like Morana, Lily’s powers are greatly affected by her emotional state. If she is feeling down or confused, her abilities become severely diminished.

* **Naivety:** Because of her naivety, it is easy for certain people to take advantage of or betray Lily.
