Lily Whitney

She is one of twelve orphaned girls that Peter Whitney “adopted” for the original experiment. She was officially adopted after her accident during a test.

## Early Life

She had displayed a great deal of psychic power as an infant. Growing up, she had been close to Dahlia Le Blanc and Flame. When Flame said she was going to escape, Lily was scared that Flame would die without getting chemo from Whitney, so she told him, risking her sisterhood with Flame. She knew Flame felt betrayed by what she did, but Lily loved her too much to let Flame die. During a test conducted in Whitney’s secret underground laboratory, Lily’s leg was hurt. It was after that that Lily’s memories were messed with and she was officially made into Whitney’s daughter. She grew up in his mansion, with thick walls and staff with natural barriers to give her the best kind of comfort.

## Shadow Game

She is brought on to Whitney’s experiment. Now with a doctorate and accomplished scientist in her own right, Whitney hoped she would see something he might have missed due to his GhostWalkers dying. When she revealed that she could read her father’s code, Colonel Frank Higgens and Phillip Thornton decided to take out Whitney. Lily felt her father die and was distraught. However, she found the hidden laboratory under his study in her home and found her training videos. Learning the kind of monster her father was shook up her, but Ryland Miller offered comfort to her. She found out many things from the videos on her early life, including that her father not only took down the filters on the minds of 12 female children, her sisters in a way, but also on Ryland’s men and possibly others. She also learned that Whitney had conducted work on physical enhancements and other enhancements, which led her to believe that her father may have also worked out how to pair men and women together. It had her questioning if she and Ryland had real feelings for each other, but she soon came to learn that, though her father may have made them physically attracted to each other, he couldn’t manipulate what the two of them felt. She became assured of their relationship and the love between them, enough to agree to marry Ryland.

## Night Game

She and Ryland are trying to have a child and it is revealed that she is pregnant, but she is scared. She found out that Whitney had not only taken down the filters in his subjects’ minds but also added animal DNA to them to physically enhance them. She is scared of what it means for the children of the GhostWalkers. Lily also found out that she was used as a control and had no gene enhancements like the other GhostWalkers. She worked hard to come up with a way to put Flame’s cancer permanently in remission, and was happy to have her sister back after Flame talked with Raoul.

## Predatory Game

She helped Jess Calhoun decide to go with experimental bionics to allow him the ability to walk again. She and Ryland went underground to protect their newborn son, but all the GhostWalkers know they are heading to the Montana compound.

## Phantom Game

She was targeted by Jacob Abrams. She had Jeff set up a dream state office where she stored precious memories. However, when Ryland found out, she knew she had betrayed him, but she explained and they made up.

## Trivia

* Lily is the first female GhostWalker to give birth and be in the series.
* She is also the first to hyphen her last name rather than take her husband’s name completely.
