Appearance and Personality:
There's something not quite right about Lily. She looks like a lovely young woman who wasn't put together quite right, or a porcelain doll that looks a bit too real. Her eyes are a dull gray, and perpetually wide, as though something has frightened her. She wears long, old dresses in dark and severe colors, highlighting the pallor of her skin and giving the impression that she belongs in another time.
The way she moves is heavy and artificial, and the expressions on her face seem plastic and stiff. At the worst of times, she resembles a corpse.
Perhaps this is fitting, because Lily is fascinated by the subject of death. She doesn't seem to fully comprehend it, like a young child. Her attempts at understanding come through in her paintings, where she illustrates ghosts, skeletons, and strange afterlifes.
Socially, Lily has a tendency to talk too fast and ask too many questions. She is curious, always prodding, and occasionally inappropriate. The concepts of grace and tact are all but alien to her.
She also fiercely resents authority, which is the biggest reason for her poor education despite her family's wealth. Getting into places she shouldn't is one of her favorite rebellious pastimes, followed by shouting matches and colorful insults.
Background:
Lily is the child her family would prefer not to acknowledge--she is one of a few dark stains on their reputation, due to her ability to get into trouble as well as her general strangeness. She has utterly refused to give any nice young men the time of day, and in a last-ditch effort to get her out of the house, her parents have sent her to live with her more well-behaved and wealthy older brother.
Charles is more than happy to take care of her, and provide her with all the material comforts she desires... if she obeys him without question. As far as Lily knows, her brother is motivated by the notion that she cannot take care of herself. She is irresponsible, immature, and needs to be protected from the outside world. Therefore, she is not permitted to leave his house, socialize with anyone he does not approve of, or send any letters or packages.
Such a life is lovely and decadent, but lonely and stifling. Lily yearns for something greater than this existence, and something about Charles unnerves her. He may be the family favorite, but he is an angry, violent man, and she occasionally catches him looking at her in strangely possessive, greedy ways.
Through the years, Lily has found herself increasingly desperate to get out and see the world, and has finally resorted to begging and pleading for some time away from the house. To her surprise, Charles has agreed, and has even bought tickets for a trip on the Orient Express to Istanbul. His one condition is that she stay within his sight at all times.
Lily's intention, of course, is to leave him behind forever.
