Character: Lily Evans (Potter) Fandom: Harry Potter Character Notes: History: WARNING FOR (SOME) DEATHLY HALLOWS SPOILERS Lily Evans was born January 30, 1960 to Muggle parents, at least a couple years younger than her sister, Petunia (who she called “Tuney”). Lily found that she was able to do strange things as a child, and it was when she met a young Severus Snape that he explained that she was able to do such things because she was a witch. He told her that he was a wizard and the pair soon became close friends. Despite their friendship, she was still mad at Snape when he (whether intentionally or not) tapped into his untrained magical skill and caused a branch to snap off and hit Petunia’s shoulder. On her first train ride to Hogwarts, she met James Potter and Sirius Black, quickly finding that she didn’t particularly like either of them for how they were treating Snape.
Not much is known up until her fifth year beyond that she was named Prefect and has been best friends with Sev (as she calls him) and defends him from her friends, especially every time he calls her a Mudblood (she makes excuses for it). Somewhere in March or April of her fifth year, she heard about James saving Snape from going down the passage covered by the Whomping Willow, but she told Snape that she didn’t believe his theory of Lupin being a werewolf, with his illnesses falling on the full moon of every month. A few months later, she was witness to James, Sirius and Snape hexing each other and after Lily’s defense of the latter, him calling her a Mudblood once more. That night was the final straw. He waited for her and threatened to sleep outside the Gryffindor tower entrance if she didn’t come see him, so she did. It was that night that she finally dug into him for his Death Eater friends and made it clear that their friendship was over. In her sixth year, she most likely started getting to know the Marauders better through Remus, her co-Prefect of Gryffindor. By her seventh year, she was the Head Girl and finally gave in and started dating James Potter, the Head Boy. From there, the rest is history. She had finally fallen completely in love with him, they got married sometime between late 1978 and early 1979, and Harry was born July 31st, 1980. On Halloween of 1981, Pettigrew betrayed the Fidelius Charm protecting his friends to Voldemort and soon after James was killed, Lily was also murdered, protecting their son, giving him a strong protection that lasted for years, even when it came to the final battle at Hogwarts.

Personality: Lily is best described as a bit of a “neutral” justice figure. While she may be biased toward her friends, the division of the four houses doesn’t stop her (a Gryffindor) from sticking up for her friend, Severus Snape (of Slytherin). She seems to have her own strong ideals of what’s good and what’s bad, given her very vocal disapproval of Snape’s Death Eater friends and Potter’s and his friends’ idiotic ways. In a way, she really does live up to her Prefect badge, and the later award of Head Girl. So she does take power seriously and doesn’t appear to abuse it.
She’s very selfless and modest, her future son being noted to have taken on these qualities of hers (despite what Snape may say or think). In addition, she’s a kind and loving individual, but when she gets pissed… it’s not a side most want to be on as her temper flares up.
On another side of things, she sometimes doesn’t like to acknowledge some ugly truths about her friends, such as all her friends have to say about Snape and some of his behaviors that she knows of personally. It might also explain why she denies Snape’s theories of Lupin being a werewolf… until she gets any solid fact for herself, besides that the story was probably what the staff puts out, including Dumbledore, who I assume she probably trusts explicitly within the staff, as he is the Headmaster.
She's got another side, as revealed by Professor Slughorn, who had favored her. Whenever he said she should have been in Slytherin, she would shoot back some cheeky reply, showing that if she was familiar enough and on good terms with a professor, she had no trouble being a smart mouth with them. Lily is also described as being funny, charming and brave. Someone who nearly everyone who knew her, liked her.
Other: Lily is a very bright witch with a load of talent, enough so that she impressed the Potions Master, Professor Slughorn and became one of his favorite students with her talent for potions.
Her wand is listed as being good for Charms, so it's possible she may have excelled in that class as well.
Additional history: Some time after graduation, she was inducted as a member of the Order of the Phoenix as well as James and his friends and a number of others.
For Dramadramaduck purposes, Lily will be taken from the same point as the current Marauders of the Harry Potter cast, which I believe is between their fourth and fifth year.

First Person (entry type): I just got my book list and welcome back letter to Hogwarts this afternoon. I was surprised to find a small badge tucked in with an additional letter enclosed with the rest. Would you believe I’ve been chosen to be a Prefect? I can’t wait to tell Sev the good news.
Mum and Dad are happy for me, even though I had to explain what it means to be Prefect. I tried to tell Tuney too, but she only gave me a dirty look before walking off to ring her boyfriend. I wish she would have at least said something….
Still, I can’t wait to get back to school and see who the boy Prefect is for Gryffindor. …If it’s Potter or Black, I’ll have a word with McGonagall, see if she can reassign the position to someone more reasonable or tolerable.
Third Person: Lily stared down at the journal she had just written in and was shocked to find ink in someone else’s hand surface on the page below what she had written. It looked like a reply. But that couldn’t be right… she was certain her mother had picked this up in a Muggle shop, and books weren’t supposed to write back. Curiosity getting the better of her, she picked up her quill once more and wrote a reply back. Within minutes, more replies appeared. Lily stared at the paper and began flipping through the pages. Near the back was a whole long list of messages based on different topics. There were even moving pictures, complete with sound! She knew pictures could move in the Wizarding World, but she didn’t know they could make noise! Carefully, she prodded one of the pictures with her quill and it let out a blast of sound. Slamming the book shut as her heart pounded, Lily waited a few minutes before reopening the book and turning to a fresh page. Only three words formed her new message. “What is this thing?”
