**Lily Navarro** is the protagonist of the 2021 Facebook Watch series *Woman in the Book.* She is the daughter of Tomás and Maria Navarro and the sister of Ricardo and Daniel Navarro. After finding her parents dead in the library of their hacienda, Lily and her brothers were put into foster care and separated. Eighteen years later, Lily returned with her brothers to the hacienda and inadvertently released the same entity that killed her parents.

She is voiced by Diane Guerrero and Iliana I. Castillo as a child.

## Physical Appearance

Lily is a Hispanic woman with wavy chest-length brown hair and dark-brown eyes. She has a dusting of freckles over her nose and fuller lips. She wears a knee-length blue-gray dress, black flats, and a necklace with a single white shard. Until the epilogue of "La Letra Pequeña", she is nearly nine months pregnant.

As a child, Lily had shorter hair, no freckles, and her hair tied back in a ponytail.

## Characteristics

Not much is known about Lily's personality before her parents' death, but as an adult she seems to want to put the past behind her and leave the hacienda behind so she can start a new life. She appears to have some level of anxiety in her adulthood, and displays symptoms of an avoidant coping mechanism in her not contacting either of her brothers since her parents' deaths; such as wanting to sell the hacienda and leave, and ignoring phone calls from her abusive husband.

In spite of her not contacting them, Lily seems to have some level of attachment to her brothers. Despite wanting to sell the hacienda as soon as she could she admitted that she did want to get to know Daniel, as she hadn't seen him since he was an infant, and sharing a warm greeting with Ricardo.

## Background

Lily was born some time in the early 1990s, after her older brother Ricardo. In 2003, her younger brother Daniel was born.

In 2003, Lily and Ricardo found their parents, Maria and Tomás, dead in the hacienda library in front of Daniel's crib. Lily saw a book open on the ground near the fireplace, which was emitting a black tar-like substance. When she went over to inspect it, the woman in the illustration disappeared and reappeared as a monstrous version of herself, causing Lily to kick the book away. She went over to Daniel's crib, picked him up, and ran with Ricardo out of the library.

After their parents' death, Lily and her brothers were put in the foster care system and given away to three different families, and would not contact her brother Ricardo for the next eighteen years. At least nine months before the events of the series, Lily began a relationship with a man named Liam, marrying him and becoming pregnant with a son. Upon getting the invitation to return to the hacienda, Lily packed her things and left for Mexico without telling Liam where she was going. She was on medication for anxiety, which she left behind as well.

## Woman in the Book (2021)

### El Libro

In 2021, Lily returns to the hacienda to collect the inheritance from her parents' estate. Upon arriving to the hacienda and being greeted by the groundskeeper, a woman named Nena, she is haunted by memories of what occurred the night she ran away, but has a somewhat-happy reunion with her brothers. Lily immediately shuts down Daniel's suggestion of moving their families into the hacienda, saying that she wants to sell it and collect her cut so she can start a new life with her baby. While taking a tour of the hacienda, the siblings get to a room with lots of pictures of a previous generation, where Lily tells Daniel that their great-grandfather was a book publisher. Daniel says that he know of their great-grandfather as he grew up in town, and that there were ghost stories of his wife going insane and killing herself. This startles Lily, bringing old memories to the surface, and she hastily leaves to get some water.

While outside, she sees a shadow inside the next room and realizes that it's the library, which apparently has not changed or had upkeep since her parents' deaths. She is drawn to a book on the shelf, which turns out to be about the history of their family and is annotated with a red substance. Lily then sees the picture of the woman from that night, and tries to flip to other pages, but the picture keeps appearing. Lily throws the book on the ground and goes to her room, where she listens to the voicemails that Liam left her. Upon going into the bathroom, she starts seeing things and becomes possessed by The Woman, who forces her to choke herself. Thankfully, she is saved when her brothers burst into the room.

### Seis Niñas Muertas

While she is unconscious, Lily has a precognitive dream in which she is in the place of Christina Navarro, giving birth to her sixth baby girl. She is berated by her great-grandfather Antonio, who calls her by her great-grandmother's name and is enraged with her for having another girl. As Antonio takes the baby away, Lily starts to beg to see the baby, and the midwife tells her that the baby didn't make it despite the baby very clearly crying after it was born.

Lily then wakes up and sees Ricardo with her, who is concerned about what happened to her. She refuses to call her husband or a doctor, insisting that she isn't like her mother, and that she's just fine. Afterwards, she throws on a scarf and goes downstairs where Nena is making dinner. Daniel comes into the kitchen and after talking to Nena about where the lawyer is, Lily learns that Ricardo intends to turn the hacienda into a bed and breakfast. She then tells Daniel, who asks her if she's alright, that she just choked on a piece of candy and is fine. They then hear Ricardo screaming as the house begins to rumble and Nena has a panic attack. As Ricardo rounds the corner, it is revealed that he is being chased by The Woman, and the doors slam shut while The Woman cuts Ricardo's throat. After she disappears, it is shown that Lily and Nena are both crying uncontrollably, but not of their own accord.

## Powers and Abilities

### Skillset

* **Bilingualism:** Lily is fluent in both Spanish and English, and is seen speaking both with no difficulty in the show.

### Unique Abilities

* **Postcognition:** Since returning to the hacienda, Lily has developed the ability to see visions of the past, which place her in the shoes of Christina Navarro during the 1800's.

## Relationships

### Ricardo Navarro

Ricardo is Lily's older brother. Like Lily, Ricardo was there to witness the aftermath of their parents' death and remembers the events and why they left the hacienda. However, for an unknown reason, they did not contact each other for the next eighteen years, though they seem to be on friendly terms with each other upon reuniting.

### Daniel Navarro

Daniel is Lily's little brother. She seems to be warm towards him in spite of the trauma that they both faced.

### Tomás and Maria Navarro

Tomás and Maria were Lily's parents. Lily was not aware of the supernatural properties of the book and did not know why her parents would presumably kill each other, and was distraught upon their death. It is possible that she did not return to the hacienda after becoming an adult because she still has lasting trauma from seeing their deaths.

Lily may have a negative opinion of her mother after the night of her death, insisting to Ricardo that she's not crazy like she was.

### Liam

Liam is Lily's abusive husband and the father of her unborn baby. Liam's voicemails quickly transition from concerned for her to becoming angry and telling her nobody will love her like he does; and while Lily listens to them, she looks at what appear to be scars or burn marks on her arms. Lily wanted to use the money from selling the hacienda to have enough financial stability to break up with Liam, as she left for Mexico without telling him and continues to ignore his calls. An enraged Liam followed her and tried to kidnap her back to the States by any means necessary, even attempting to murder Ricardo to keep him out of his way. Lily eventually stood up to Liam, and he was put through the printing press by Christina Navarro in order to protect Lily.

### Antonio Navarro

Antonio is Lily's paternal great-grandfather. All she knew about him was that he was a book publisher in the late 1800s, and that his fortune was able to build the hacienda. She became distressed when she learned that Antonio's wife had gone insane and killed herself similarly to how her mother killed herself.

## Trivia

* Though English is her second language, Lily appears to speak in English when she gets flustered or surprised.
* Lily is similar to Isabela Madrigal from Disney's *Encanto;* in that they are both Hispanic women of color voiced by Diane Guerrero, and both are part of families with supernatural histories.
