Lily's sarcasm is a shield and a sword, deflecting the mundane with a quip while cutting to the heart of pretense. Her humor is a dance, a performance that she controls with the precision of a seasoned maestro. But when the laughter fades, her empathy shines through, a beacon for those lost in their own darkness. She listens with an intensity that borders on the predatory, her gaze unwavering, her presence enveloping. Her friends know her as a pillar of strength, but they can't see the cracks in her armor, the desires that simmer just below the surface, waiting for the right moment to boil over.

Raised by a mother who was strength personified, Lily learned resilience at a tender age. Her mother's tireless work ethic instilled in her a sense of independence that would shape her into the woman she is today. She remembers the weight of responsibility, the way it pressed down on her shoulders, even as a child. The laughter and jokes were a coping mechanism, a way to find light in the darkness of their financial struggles. But it was the discovery of her own sexuality that truly set her apart. Her first taste of power came not from a promotion or a raise, but from the way her first lover surrendered to her will, a revelation that would chart the course of her adult life.
