General Information
Lily has had a fairly diverse set of experiences in her life for one who has not yet seen twenty-five summers. As a young adult, she was inducted into the Wood Wailers as a fledging member of the Fifth Spears, much to her father's delight and pressed into service keeping the forest paths of Quarrymill safe. Surprisingly adept for one so inexperienced, she found herself able to keep up with most drills and exercises performed by the Fifth Spears. Her career as a wood wailer was not meant to be, however. During a fairly routine mission to cull the annually rutting antelopes on the forest paths, she fatally skewered and killed one such antelope. As the light left the animal's eyes, Lily felt a profound sense of sadness that touched her soul. A few days later, Lily resigned her commission as a Wood Wailer, putting up her lance, still stained crimson with the blood of the beast she killed. The next few weeks saw the woman lost, wandering Gridania without purpose, until she was approached by Master E-Sumi-Yan, the conjurer guildmaster.
Sensing the turmoil in the woman's soul and recognizing her inner potential, he introduced her to the soothing ways of the elementals and the healing power of white magic. Thus, did Lily begin her first tentative steps into the path of the Conjurer. In the years following, Lily continued to progress to the point where she recently became a white mage. Though still learning to master the raw power of the healing magic, she vowed she would never again kill if it could be helped. Recently, she has opened a small apothecary shop, where she uses the woodland skills she learned as a Wood Wailer to procure the herbs and plants needed.
Appearance
Lily has a somewhat average frame, very slightly trending towards the petite side. She is not very muscular, giving her the deceptive appearance of one who might be as delicate as the flowers she tends. Nevertheless, Lily has a surprising amount of resilience, perhaps as a result of the many exercises she attended as a Wood Wailer.
She stands roughly 5'2", and has long flowing blonde hair that carries way beyond her shoulders. Her soft blue eyes exude an aura of serenity, and she meets most onlooker's gaze with a hesitant, timid smile.

Mannerisms
Lily is socially awkward, preferring the company of her bird Syl and her plants. Somewhat ignorant to the world at large, it is easy to take advantage of her naivety. When she is out in an unfamiliar place, she is often painfully shy and difficult to get to open up.
She is a dilligent worker, and maintains a sense of responsibility to her fellow conjurers or guildmates. The serenity and calmness she exudes is contagious, and those who spend time in her company that are prone to rash action oftentimes find themselves reconsidering. A nurturer, she finds herself fussing over the most trivial of injuries to her companions.
Philosophy & Ideals
Lily is nonviolent by nature, preferring to talk or bargain instead of resorting to blows. She is quick to see the good in people, which can bite her when these people fail to deliver on promises or expectations. She has a love of animals and those who cannot protect themselves. When pressed into service as a white mage, she throws herself into the battle with an almost reckless abandon, doing everything she can to keep her companions safe from harm. Though shy, Lily has begun to feel the urge to go out and see the world outside the doors of her apothecary shop. With the gentle insistance of a good friend's urging, she can be persuaded to go out into a social situation she otherwise would not go.
Quirks
- Behind the gentle smile and the petite frame lies a voracious appetite that puts even the largest Roegadyn to shame.
- Innuendo is often lost on the young woman, leading to situations and jokes at the oblivious girl's expense.
- She has a tendency to stammer when flustered or uncomfortable which can make understanding her difficult.

Early Life
Childhood
Lily was born to the Wood Wailer Commander Kelvothan and his wife, Cecilia. She is the youngest child in the family, having an older brother - Jeruh. With her father often-times missing due to his responsibilities in the Shroud, Lily spent most her childhood as a companion to her brother's various mischievious schemes. Lily's first tragedy struck when she only seven years old, as Cecilia took ill. Despite all the ministrations of the herbalists and conjurers in Gridania, her mother passed away one night peacefully in her bed. This loss was felt particularly hard by the young girl, as her older brother also left during this time frame to begin his formal apprenticeship in the Wood Wailers. Feeling lonely and isolated, she attempted to make friends with the other Gridanian children. Perhaps in part to her shy nature, she often found herself ostracized and teased among her peers until she simply stopped trying to fit in. Instead, she spent her time on the outskirts of Gridania, playing with the various critters that would happily accept the scraps of bread she would bring them.
Adolescence
When Lily was 16, she formally entered the service of the Wood Wailers as a cadet in an effort to win her father's approval. Surprisingly, she was an able recruit, capable of matching up with most other Wood Wailer cadets in sparring matches and earning the respect of her trainers.
By 18, she officially became a member of the Fifth Spears of the Wood Wailers, stationed in the South Shroud near Quarrymill and tasked with keeping the roads safe for travellers. During her tenure, things were relatively quiet, and so Lily spent many a shift observing and learning more about the woodlands around her. This fascination with the natural order of the Shroud grew into a lifelong passion that she still carries with her to this day.
During one of her shifts, Lily and her squadron were sent on a mission to cull a pack of rutting antelopes that were running amok and hurting travellers in the area with their aggressive tendencies. As Lily and her companions engaged the beasts, one of the animals charged at her. Instinct taking over, she deftly struck and skewered the animal through the heart. As the beast lie writhing at her feet in its death throes, Lily felt a revulsion that shook her to her very foundation. She fell to her knees, dropping her lance and wept bitter tears as the light left the animal's eyes, cradling the antelope's head in her hands all the while. Soon after, the other animals had been driven off by the rest of her companions - but there had been a cost to her inaction. Arthro, one of her Wood Wailer companions who had been at her flank, had been gouged by a flanking animal and gravely wounded. As Lily looked up with her blurry tear-streaked eyes at her Wood Wailer companions, she saw scowls and disgust in their faces.
Lily never again raised her lance. Three days after the incident, she resigned her commission, and returned to Gridania in shame, blaming herself for Arthro's injuries. Too ashamed to return to her father, she wandered the city in a daze seeking solace for the turmoil in her heart. One evening, sitting on the outskirts of the city as she did as a child, she was found by Master E-Sumi-Yan of the conjurer's guild who had taken a short walk in the early evening hours. He noticed the young woman's rapport with nature and recognized the potential within her for channeling white mana. Soothing Lily's wounded heart, he was able to convince her to return with him to the conjurer's guild where he took her in as an apprentice conjurer.
Adulthood
Lily has spent several years in the employ of the conjurer's guild where she practices her conjury daily on those petitioning for aid. Recently graduating from the guild as a full-fledged white mage, Lily has only just begun to explore the power of the elements within her. These days, she owns a small apothecary shop that operates in Mist, where she uses the knowledge she learned during those long nights as a Wood Wailer to brew all sorts of elixirs. Her lance, still stained crimson with the blood of the fallen antelope, sits above her mantle as a reminder to her of that fateful day. She is often contracted out through the Conjurer's guild to aid bands of adventurers who need a white mage for their ranks. She accepts these commissions without complaint seeing them as part of her dues to the guild, but is secretly terrified that she will make a mistake much like that one day that will cost a companion their life.
Recent Times
Lily operates her apothecary shop in the subdistrict of Mist, where her potions are in high demand. With alchemy and botany not so common in the city of pirates, Lily often-times finds herself buried in work orders.
