appearance.
She stands at about 5'5 and weighs around 135 lbs. Lil works hard to maintain her physical appearance, working out every day to stay toned and in good shape. Her style of dress is usually very casual and she has expressive hands that move a lot when she talks. She's a very physical person - touchy feely with those she considers friends and while she doesn't have an extraordinarily short temper, she'd rather fight her way out of a situation than talk her way out of it. This shows a lot in her physical mannerisms and the way she can never sit still for long periods of time. She's very fidgety, especially when she's nervous.
personality.
Lil is not by any means a typical girly girl. Quite the opposite - she rarely bothers with a lot of makeup and she tends to spend a lot of time hanging out with boys and doing tomboy-ish things, like a pickup game of football or basketball or even just hanging out and watch a game on tv. She's a woman of action. She's the sort of person who would rather settle a dispute with fists than words and she hates sitting still, choosing not to whenever she has a choice.
She's full of energy and likes to blow off steam frequently, channeling her energy and whatever is happening in her life into her work or into excising or going out dancing. Anything to be constantly in motion. Slowing down is just not an option for her.
Though it's not readily apparent to everyone, Lil has an enormous ambitious streak. She's always felt her mother's disappointment in her and that is part of what drives her to be a success in her work, even if she knows Mom would rather she settle down and have a family like a proper girl. That just isn't for Lil, though. She's seen her parents marriage and she wants no part in a relationship like that. Besides, her work is important and she'd much rather excel at that and make a difference in the world.
Lil is quite confident in herself, too. Some would say she's too confident to the point of being almost cocky. She doesn't think so, though. She knows her strengths and how to use them and she's not afraid to play those up to get what she wants. It shows in the way she carries herself and if that's off-putting or intimidating to some, well, she really doesn't let herself be bothered by that. She's not much of a people person, anyway, so if people don't like her, she doesn't really let it get to her.
Lil is very focused on taking care of her body. She runs daily and does whatever else she can to keep in shape. It's important for her line of work, anyway, but she's really just always been focused on staying in the best shape possible.
She hasn't had any formal training and it's not the sort of dance you would normally take lessons to learn, but Lil loves to blow off steam by hitting the clubs and working up a sweat dancing the night away when she's not at school.
Lil loves films of all kinds, but the scarier, the better. Even if she does tend to make fun of the lead females in those films for being so wimpy, watching muggle horror films is one of her favorite past times.
She has a real problem with insomnia. She tends to only get a few hours of sleep a night, though it's not for lack of trying. Her mind is just too active to fall asleep most times. As a result, she tends to wander about looking for some action, trying to exert herself into exhaustion so she can catch a few hours of sleep before class.
While Lil in unequivocally good in terms of her beliefs, she has an inner darkness that could easily blur the lines between right and wrong. She'll never switch sides, but she could easily end up doing some questionable things in the name of right and bending/breaking the rules to get what she wants.
She isn't one for close friendships. She adores her brothers and she's closer to them than anything, but she doesn't form close friendships easily, especially with other women. Growing up in a family that was mostly male, she's always been able to relate to men more. And when it comes to new people, she just doesn't open up to them very well at all.
Lil doesn't have the best attention span at all. She was always horrible at the subjects that require patience or sitting still for large periods of time. She's very fidgety and doesn't do well with things that require a lot of research. Just tell her what needs done and let her do it, but she doesn't have the patience for sorting it all out herself.
Lil's sense of ambition can be overwhelming at times, and not in a good way. She can become obsessed when she wants something and she's unusually driven when it comes to her hopeful career as a hit witch. She's willing to do just about anything to get ahead and be the best in the department and the same applies to most other things she wants. If she sees something she desires, she'll just take it, no matter if it belongs to someone else already. Grades.. quidditch.. boyfriends... little details like someone else being in her way don't tend to dissuade her from going after them.
history.
Lillian grew up in a house full of boys and, as such, has always been a bit of a "tough chick." She wrestled and played sports and did all the things boys tend to do growing up and, for the most part, her brothers always treated her like an equal, rather than like their fragile baby sister. They can probably be blamed largely for how extremely active she's always been.
Lil and her mother aren't very close at all. Rose always wanted to dress Lil in pretty dresses and see her having tea parties and playing with dolls. Lil is her only daughter and she knows that her mother is disappointed that she isn't more of a "girl," but Lil just can't help it. Those girly things never really interested her and as a result, she's much closer to her father and brothers.
Sadly, she didn't see much of her father growing up. He was busy in his job as a doctor, often keeping odd hours when the hospital had him on call, so even though Lil loves and adores him, she didn't feel nearly as connected to him as she does her siblings. She spent more time around them growing up than anyone and she attributes most of her raising to them, though her mom was around plenty and the kids never really wanted for anything.
Brian made up for not being around by pretty much giving his kids whatever they wanted. Lil used to sit on the stairs and listen to her parents fight over it, over her dad not being around, over the way he spoiled the kids, over how it was fine for him that Lil was how she was. She always felt responsible for the fighting, because the topic often turned to her and she hated it, the way they fought, which is probably why she intends never to get married or have children of her own and why she has a tough time getting close to other people.
Lil decided early on that she wanted to work for the in Law Enforcement. She's aiming for Auror or Hit Witch and the moment she settled on that goal, she's worked extra hard to get the required grades. She actually squealed out loud when she got her OWL results back over the summer and saw she'd done well enough to take the NEWT classes she'll need. There isn't much in life that's made Lil genuinely happy, but that was one thing that qualified.
