There are 13 Lilies of the Valley, all of which were selected by Juniper to be her closest advisors.

All Lilies of The Valley were chosen their exceptional expertise in magic, though becoming a Lily requires the person to posses some other skill that Juniper would find useful. All Lilies of The Valley are provided with special magic bodies created by Juniper to bring out the fullest potential in their abilities.
