Personality[]
It’s not too difficult to describe Lily’s personality. Carefree, obsessive, a loose cannon, fun, exciting, crazy. All of those would probably work. To start, she doesn’t really care all that much about school itself. The studying and homework book isn’t all that interesting when there are literally people everywhere in the school that she could be fooling around with or talking to. This same carefree attitude (or carelessness under certain circumstances), means that things simply don’t bother her. Laughing at someone for hexing her or making fun of her might seem like a simple deflection tactic, like it would for most, but that’s simply not the case for her. Laughing is her way of showing she doesn’t care. Running off to do whatever she wants wherever she wants is prototypical, and is more than likely because her brain is going a million miles a minute. Something that was intriguing or interesting, or even the slightest bit shiny, could wind up with her attempting to climb a tree in the Forbidden Forest or sliding down railings on the moving staircases.
Her tomfoolery and general disregard for her own safety or well-being isn’t mirrored when it comes to friends or family, those being the closest to her are the ones she guards and protects the most. Keeping those she cares about close, Lily makes sure that they know she has their back no matter what the situation, leading her to constantly strive to be stronger so that she can be able to back that up if the time ever arises. Her obsessive nature lends itself here, showing her deep ferocity and love for the ones closest to her. Still, aggression and her want for power, not in the extreme sense, was what would eventually lead to one of her decisions in wanting to be a werewolf. In this sense, it might seem that her ideals are rather contradictory, but that’s just how she is.
Most would think that all this safeguarding and wild behavior was a side effect of being turned into a werewolf, but that simply isn’t true. Once Lily realized that she could get away with minimal consequences, she knew that this was the lifestyle for her. Becoming a werewolf was more a continuation of that, her goal of trying to achieve ultimate freedom and liberation that a human body couldn’t exactly do. Running through the forest on full moons without a concern in the world means more than anything to her. The question is whether or not she’ll always remain this way, or if there will be a point in time where being a reckless wild-child won’t be acceptable anymore. Right now those thoughts don’t even exist in her vocabulary, and hopefully never will.
