Character Information:

Character Name: Lily Evans
Age: 17
Canon: Harry Potter series
Appearance: Considered to be fairly pretty, Lily is a girl of average height with red hair that falls to just past her shoulder. Perhaps her most striking feature, however, are her eyes - not the colour of Corellian Brandy, unfortunately, but rather a startling green that is evidently memorable enough to be commented on years after her death.

Personality:
As a teenager, Lily Evans is many things - harming, witty, highly intelligent - brilliant, even. She’s described in glowing terms by most everyone who knew her at the time, and for the most part such a description isn’t unwarranted. She’s certainly exceptionally talented, in both magic and academics, as seen by the fact that she just received her letter confirming her as Head Girl in the coming school year. She also had a rare degree of control over her magic even before she attended Hogwarts, and quickly became highly skilled in Charms, Potions and Transfiguration once she started attending lessons.

It’s through these talents that we see another side to her nature. She’s a bit of a show off, and cheeky with it - apparently having no qualms about performing illegal underage magic outside of school, and casting difficult Transfiguration spells in order to give gifts to her professors. The impression she leaves on Horace Slughorn confirms her ability to be absolutely charming when she wants to - she’s the sort of girl who is genuinely interested in the subjects her professors are talking about, and perfectly willing in engage with them on their level.

Beyond her abilities, Lily is in the possession of a quick and biting wit that she wields as well as her magic, as seen in Snape’s memory of the time her called her a mudblood. Hand in hand with this is a quick and biting temper; Lily Evans does not suffer fools lightly - or at all. She has her own strong principles and opinions, and heaven help you if she finds yours offensive. She very much as that ‘defender of the weak’ syndrome, but if someone hurts her or her friends, she won’t hesitate to unleash both that wit and temper. Hers is an unforgiving nature, particularly when you come up against her principles, and especially in relation to those who judge her for her blood status. It’s something of a trigger for her - no matter how close a person is to her, the moment they cross that line and suggest she’s something lesser because of her blood, there’s no forgiveness there.

At the heart of it, though, Lily Evans is a kind hearted girl who goes out of her way to help others and stick up for those who can’t or won’t stand up for themselves. She abhors bullies and won’t hesitate to shout them down, no matter who they are. She is incredibly loyal to her friends and those she loves; moreover, she’s loyal to her ideal which is perhaps part of the reason she reats so strongly to those who oppose them. She’s perfectly willing to lay down her life if it would mean saving those she loved or even just providing some measure of protection. Despite her obvious talents, she has a strong work ethic and despises those who coast along without making any effort to improve themselves.

Lily Evans is a strong-willed, determined young woman who wants to do The Right Thing. She grew up the beloved younger daughter, prettier, smarter and more talented than her older sister and doted upon by her parents. She’s friendly, intelligent and charismatic, and it’s likely due to these things and the fact that she’s still young that she tends to be rather single-minded about others also doing The Right Thing - it’s something that comes naturally, easily to her, and so she’s less sympathetic to those who struggle with it, ie Snape. The only real difficulty she’s faced is that of blood prejudice, which is why she’s sort of set out to prove all those prejudices wrong and won’t accept apologies from those subscribe to them

Background:
OVER HERE. I’m taking her from between her sixth and seventh year, as I want to play her old enough to be independent, but not yet in a relationship with James Potter as this is sort of limiting. Since being in Coruscant, she’s gone out and gotten herself a job at a general store, made a couple of friends and made is starting to make something of a name for herself as someone who makes pretty shiny glowies.

Special Abilities or Weapons:
In her canon, Lily is a witch who is highly skilled at Charms (applying effects to objects and people), Transfiguration (turning one thing into another) and Potions (brewing liquids with magical effects). She’s also skilled at duelling (she faces Voldemort, Super Villain, three times and escapes) and has a high degree of control over her wandless magic.

So in CS she is going to be a Force sensitive with particular abilities involving tech (due to Transfiguration and her muggle background) and also just using it to help her create things IF THAT IS OKAY. That’s going to come naturally for her - the rest of her Jedi skillz, she will just be stumbling along figuring out herself until she gives and decides to be a Jedi.

Sect: Civilian

Job: Assistant at a General Store, part time artisan. Is she blatantly making use of her Force talent to earn money? Yes, yes she is.

Samples:

First Person:
[There is a slightly frazzled looking young woman on your screens, sitting in what appears to be a tastefully decorated bedroom there are a few prettily-glowing trinkets floating idly around her head, but she doesn’t seem to be too bother by them]

You would think in a city that covers a whole planet, people would find more than one general store to buy their supplies from. I’ve been rushed off my feet all week, hardly had the time to sit down and check the network. I did manage to see that we’ve rather a lot of new arrivals, though.

[She smiles here, warmly] We’re going to be stuck here for a while, by the looks of things, so you may as well all call me Lily. It can be...rather terrifying at first, especially if you’re not used to the technology or the magic - sorry, Force - but you do get used to it after a time. Being here, that is, not calling me Lily. [she looks distant for a moment before her tone and expression become brisk, businesslike]

Anyway, if you need basic supplies - food, medpacks, basic tools and weapons - the Twi’lek I work for has fairly reasonable prices, and if there are any women out there about my size who haven’t yet managed to find some clothes, I’ve got a few bits and pieces that I’ve started storing for these occasions. Oh, and if anyone’s interested in decorating, I’ve been making these. [she gestures at the trinkets, which start pulsing with light] Mostly for rich Coruscanti natives who want to claim to have some touch of the Force, but if nothing else they make rather attractive nightlights.

That’s it for now, I think. If anyone has any questions one of the others hasn’t yet answered, feel free to ask. Although--

If...the name Dumbledore or Hogwarts has any meaning to you, I don't suppose you could get in touch? Thank you.

Third Gizka:
The first thing Lily had done, once she saved up enough money to buy more than basic food, had been to get some curtains for her small room. They were a light, summery green, adding a splash of colour that the place had desperately needed. More than that, it made the whole room seem...homier. Even if she only had to look out the window to be assured that this was very definitely not home at all.

Still, Lily had never been one to sit around and mope. Operating on the basis that idle hands led to idle minds, she’d thrown herself into life on Coruscant as best she could, with the help of a couple of women who had arrived around the same time as she had. As it turned out, a high quality magical education was nest to useless in all places except a magical world, so there had been a great many things for her to learn, and very little time in which for her to do it. She was determined, though, and in the end she’d landed a job as a shop girl, requiring no more than a wide smile and a head for numbers - something she’d been almost embarrassingly excited about considering that she’d been looking at going into Law or Healing or Auroring back home, but a victory was a victory no matter how small.

She lived now in that small apartment on her own (although with new arrivals every day, likely that wouldn’t last) with her modest room comfortably decorated - curtains, bedspread, various knickknacks floating around - literally, in some cases, as she practiced her handle on the Force - and a small work bench where she experimented further on bits of metal and glass and plasteel, things that she picked up here and there. It had always been a hobby of hers, creating things with magic, and if she couldn’t do precisely that here, she could at least investigate what it was exactly that she could do.

A shriek from the main room jerked Lily out from her reverie - she’d been sitting on the edge of her bed thinking, frowning up at the stars that were so different from what she thought of as her own. But that shriek, coming from a room that was locked from the inside, could mean only one thing.

Lily sighed, reaching over and snagging a spare dressing gown she’d kept precisely for this occasion. “I suppose it was time for some company, anyway.”

Anything Else: IF SHE COULD ROOM WITH SACHIKO THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
