one thing that is apparent to all who meet her, is that lily potter is beautiful, and she knows it. she's got amazing clear skin, enchanting eyes, and long gorgeous hair. her features and bone structure in her face are almost pixie-like; delicate and feminine. her hair is naturally a light auburn red, darker auburn in the winter when the sun doesn't bleach it out, but over the years she has taken to dying it a rich, dark red colour that makes her look more mature. it might be a bit too unnatural for some people's tastes, but she loves it and often changes between her natural hair color and the dyed (or enchanted) color. she has both ears pierced, though the earrings that she wears in them are nothing flashy. simple studs are all she wears.
lily likes to look good, but she is not one of those girls who constantly obsesses about her appearance and every little detail of it. she likes to be unique, but doesn't need to get recognition for her appearance to be happy. she does hate blending in with the crowd by wearing a uniform, but that's obviously a part of the school policy so she can't do anything about it. sometimes she will try to set herself apart from the dull old cloaks and uniforms by changing little colours on her uniform, maybe not too noticeable but enough to make her feel set apart. for instance, she might change a black sleeve cuff on her cloak to a navy colour.
when she's not wearing a uniform and has more freedom with her outfit, lily likes to be stylish. she can make herself comfortable in almost any outfit, as long as she doesn't focus on its uncomfortable aspects, so that isn't really much of an issue to her. she doesn't consider herself to be vain, she just thinks that she should dress well and not sloppily. she believes that she can't expect others to respect her unless she treats herself right first.

distinguishing marks; her ears are pierced, and her hair color isn't the norm for hair these days (though, from a school filled with weasley's it probably isn't odd at hogwarts).
likes; quidditch, reading for fun (when she finds a good book), freedom, family, magic, snakes, animals, care of magical creatures, transfiguration, potions, holidays, gryffindors, beginnings of school years, birthdays, celebrations, her stuffed bear (shh, don't tell), snow, freshly fallen snow, thunderstorms, stories about when her father was a student, the forbidden forest, and friends.
dislikes; divination, slytherins, death, studying, violence, really hot days, exams, projects, history of magic lessons, herbology, detentions, restrictions, muddy snow, bitches backstabbers and the like, being judged, and when expectations of others on her are too high.
the isn't a wizard in the world who doesn't know the story of lily's family- or rather, the story of her father. the potter name is plastered in every book and newspaper a million times, singing the praises of harry james potter, the boy who lived; the infant who destroyed the most evil wizard of all time by doing nothing, and the teenager who again destroyed he-who-must-not-be-named through the aid of friends and intelligence. harry potter, lily's father, is practically the saviour of both the wizarding and muggle world. yeah, you could say that lily's got a lot to live up to.
she handles the pressure quite well. lily's got a distinct personality of her own; she refuses to hide behind the shadow of her father's name. at school she's friendly, bubbly, and energetic. she says things as she sees them, and isn't afraid of being judged for who she is. unfortunately, sometimes she doesn't know when to shut up and her comments can sometimes anger people. she says things without thinking sometimes, especially when her friends are around her because she feels safe, and is very capable of insulting other people.
lily doesn't set out to make fun of others. she doesn't mean to be a bitch. but sometimes the rush of being with friends and wanting for them to laugh at what she says makes her be a bit cruel to other people. popularity does that to the best of us. when she's away from peer pressure she's a sweetheart to be around. she'll help the first years, chat with the outcasts, and maybe even give a friendly, or at least tolerable, word to a slytherin or two.
father; harry james potter
mother; ginerva molly potter (nee weasley)
siblings; james sirius potter (20)
albus ---- potter (19)
other; numerous cousins on the weasley side of the family.
pet; a albino ball python she calls naga. yes, lily potter, a gryffindor, has a pet snake. whereas some other children demand brooms or owls as their 'going to school' present, lily was insistent that she should get a snake. she doesn't mind the fact that naga is such a similar name to nagini, and if posed with a question about the similarity she just responds with 'i'm not him and naga is not nagini'.
lily is well known, though not through any feat of her own. all of her fame and her family's fame is owed to her father, harry potter, the boy who lived and finally vanquished voldemort twenty-five years ago. it's always been hard for lily to keep herself out of the spotlight, unless she flat out refuses to tell people her last name, which she has been known to do quite often when she was younger. now that she's older and well known at hogwarts for being herself, she can't pull that stunt any longer.
born on a rainy fourteenth day of may seventeen years ago, lily was the last child and only daughter born to harry potter and his wife once known as ginny weasley. her older brothers, albus and james, were quite a few years older than her, so there was a considerable age gap between them, and lily was always left behind when the boys went off for fun. as they grew up and all three matured a little in their own ways, she began to be included a little bit more and ended up practically worshipping each of her brothers, especially james when the boys went off to school and a bit of tension erupted in the house because of school house differences. she loved and loves both of her brothers, and always preferred to stay out of the differences they had with each other.
being a part of the weasley family through her mother, lily has a lot of cousins. she's among the youngest, though there are a few other sixteen year olds in the family. lily got along with all of her cousins, but particularly with hugo, the son of her father's best friends. hugo was like a brother to lily because they grew up together and were the same age. since she was young lily watched cousin after cousin head off to hogwarts, and always dreamed of when her time would come. she'd grown up with tales of her parent's days at hogwarts, the friends they met, the teachers, the classes, the adventures... she couldn't wait to finally get to experience some of those amazing things herself. but every year accompanying cousins and her brothers to the hogwarts express, holding on to her mother's hands and waving as the train sped away, was extremely frustrating to the little girl. she really believed that she was old enough to go to the school with everyone else, but hogwarts rules said otherwise.
finally after years of waiting, lily got the letter. she wouldn't let it out of her hands for the first day, her mother had to tell her ten times every hour to calm down and be quiet. of course, lily had always known that she would be going to hogwarts, but having the letter in her hands made everything so much more real. she'd always had that lingering fear that something would go wrong and she wouldn't be accepted to the school, but her fears were gladly false.
her first trip to diagon alley for supplies of her own went smoothly. she got a wand, her books, and a snake as she'd been asking for for months. though she then begged her parents for a continuous hour as they shopped, they wouldn't allow her to get a broom for her first year at the school, and she was forced to wait on that. when the day finally came to go to hogwarts everything again went smoothly. she made new friends, bounced off of the walls from excitement, and took in all of the scenes around her with wide, eager eyes. the sorting hat debated between sending her to hufflepuff or gryffindor, but the final decision sent lily to her parent's house. she was quick to learn in her classes, though certainly not a genius her effort made up for what she lacked in natural talent. especially for her first year of schooling, her eagerness to learn shone through her lessons like a beacon.
lily made the quidditch team for the first time in her second year. she failed the initial tryouts, losing to a sixth year as seeker. halfway through the season however, when the said sixth year was forced to leave the team for some personal reasons, there were tryouts held again, and lily was chosen much to her father's delight.
in her third year, lily again made seeker for the quidditch team. in her fourth year she took a break from quidditch to focus on her studies, and returned in her fifth year to find herself replaced on the team by a very good seventh year student, so lily became chaser for a year. this year she plans on attending tryouts again, hopefully as seeker once more.
