"You don't know what I'm capable of, you don't know what I've done!"



GENERAL APPEARANCE:

Lily isn’t one of those tall skinny ‘model types’ she in fact detests those types of people. She reaches about 5’6 and weighs about 10 stone. She’s extremely curvy and likes her body the way it is.

Her best feature has to be her eyes, it’s the main thing people notice about her when they meet her. Her eyes are a dark emerald green and seem to glow emphasizing her every emotion. Lily has an extremely pale complexion with the odd freckle dashed across her arms and back but that comes with the package of being a red head.

She has light colored eyebrows that contrasts with her dark red hair. When Lily was younger her hair was a lot lighter but as she matured with age her hair has become a classy dark red. Its cut quite long and reaches her mid back, its not straight but falls in loose attractive curls around her heart shaped face.

Lily isn’t the type to wear a lot of make-up, a dash of color on her cheekbones and eye lids will do her for the day. Of course when she goes out she does add a smidgen of eyeliner and mascara as well as foundation. She doesn’t believe in over piercing yourself, she does however have her ears pierced and often wears small gold hoops or crystal studs.

Clothing wise Lily is rather smart, when she’s teaching she will most likely wear a tailored black dress with collar and a jacket. At home you likely to catch her in her ‘comfy’ clothes – loose fitted jeans and a shirt. Once a month James and her go out for a meal and leave the kids at home, here’s when she really dresses up – fitted dress and heels with a sparkling necklace usually fits the bill.


MOST LIKED FEATURE:

• Lily likes her eyes; it’s her one feature that is commented on as beautiful and in her opinion makes her unique looking.
  

MOST HATED FEATURE:

• Lily’s worst flaw in her opinion are her stretch marks, having the amount of children she’s carried is bound to leave some sort of lasting mark. The marks climb up to her belly button. Those days of bikini wearing are long gone.
  
  
• Lily hates her freckles they appear in the thousands across her arms and back but only the odd couple are dotted across her nose.
  
  
• Having such a pale complexion isn’t very good, especially when you become extremely flushed very easily. Very often Lily has a red flush across her nose and cheeks something which frustrates her terribly.
  

HERITAGE: English,
ETHNICITY: Caucasian,


"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."



GENERAL PERSONALITY:

Her Children
Lily would have died to save Harry that night and she feels the exact same way about her other children. Lily is a mother through and through and if there is the slightest thing wrong with one of her children she will be able to sense it the moment they step in the room. Mothers instinct she calls it. It kills her to think she has given up a child, she wasn't forced to do it, she thought it would keep her family in tact and she hopes with all her heart the son she gave away is happy.

Her Husband
Loyalty is one of those traits Gryffindor’s carry, although she betrayed him once before she swears she will never again. She knows where her loyalty’s lie and it would kill her if he left her now. She cannot bare the guilt of what she has done, it kills her to think of it. She is a loving wife and mother and although her patience sometimes wears thin with both children and husband she still loves them dearly.

The Friends
Lily has a few close friends whom she has known all her life, these are the friends she would trust with her life and likewise they would trust her with theirs. To those she hasn’t known long she is patient and kind towards them for her motto is ‘don’t judge people before you know them’ she gives even the worst of people a chance if they blow it she is likely to forgive them.

Other
Lily is rather intelligent things seem to come easily to her, however if she comes across something she cant do she will pursist until she gets it, giving up isn’t in her vocabulary! She is probably one of the most stubborn people you’ve ever met once she makes up her mind about something its nigh impossible to get her to change her mind much to her children’s disgust.

GENERAL HISTORY:

Lily grew up in a family of muggles, she always knew she was different to them. She could control objects and make things move and change at will. She often went to the park with her sister Petunia and it was there she met Severus he often came to the park too, he was the one to tell her of the wizarding world and explained that she was a witch. Snape, Petunia and Lily often played during the summer, Snape however hated Petunia because she was a muggle, this often upset Lily as she didn’t want her sister to be discluded.

When Lily received her letter to Hogwarts she was ecstatic and so were her parents Petunia however was disappointed she wanted to go as well and wrote to ask for a place however Petunia was told she couldn’t, as she didn’t possess any magical powers.

Lily loved Hogwarts she was sorted into Gryffindor and found she had a talent for Potions. During the summer she received some letters for testing the limits of the statute of secrecy she always had a mischievous side to her. Lily got on well with Severus they had a lot in common including their talent for potions. James often bullied Snape and his gang this made her resent James, he was too arrogant for Lily and had no right to bully others.

But as she grew up she realised Snape’s obsession with the dark arts had increased and she warned him it would lead to no good, however he ignored her comments and the two went their separate ways after he insulted her calling her a ‘mudblood’. As the months progressed James Potter started to seem a lot more appealing than he once did, maybe it was the way he looked at her or the way he tried to complement her. His previous arrogance seemed to have disappeared and all that was left was a young man trying to impress her, and he did.

Not long after they left school James proposed and Lily readily accepted, they had a large wedding and everyone was invited. Shortly after the wedding Lily fell pregnant with their first child, James was ecstatic. She was out shopping for baby clothes when she ran into an old friend outside the leaky cauldron, Severus Snape and they started talking. It was obvious to her he was greatly hurt by the fact that she’d married James and seemed to be slightly uneasy about the fact she was carrying James child, however he offered his friendship and they left on a good note.

Not long after the meeting she gave birth to her first child Harry, it had been a difficult pregnancy in the later stages and after the birth she started to suffer from postpartum depression, she took to drinking a glass of wine a night and it slowly increased. James tried to deter her from it but with no avail. Even the potions he tried to get her drinking didn’t work; they made her feel happy for a few hours then she would drift back into her depression.

One night when she was feeling particularly depressed she left her house to visit Snape she didn’t know what made her go to him but she did, after she’s poured her heart out to him and was really very drunk things got a little more intimate than might have happened if she was sober. She felt like he was the only person on this earth who understood her and for one night she convinced herself she could return his love.

When she arrived home the next day she pretended she’d been around a girl friends house all night and life carried on. However a month later she started to pick up signals that something wasn’t right and a pregnancy test confirmed her suspicions. She knew right away the child wasn’t James. Since having Harry their relationship hadn’t been the best, that’s not to say Harry wasnt loved because he was Lily and James adored him but with the depression they’d not been as close as before.

For a week Lily mulled over the situation, she could abort the child and James would never know but Lily was too maternal to do that and the more she thought about it the more she wanted the child.

She was about 8 months pregnant…

And that terrible night happened Lily and James were down stairs, she’d been apart of the order since she left Hogwarts and James and her were aware of the dark wizard that had risen up and was trying to take over the world. For their own protection they had many spells over their house protecting them incase the Dark Lord tried to target them. Lily and James were curled up on the sofa together and Harry asleep upstairs when one of the alarms went off starling them both. Upstairs Harry began to cry, James took his wand and went to investigate while Lily attempted to run upstairs (its very difficult when your eight months along) to calm the frightened child. It was then James raced up the stairs Dumbledore in tail, to inform her they must leave the house immediately as death eaters were soon to descend on the house. She sent a patronus to Sirius who arrived quickly to help them leave the house safely.

Dumbledore pulled her aside and told her that Severus had unwittingly betrayed her to the Dark Lord, it was only because of his feelings for her that she was alive now. Lily was certain that Dumbledore had his suspicions about the paternity of her unborn child, however she did not say anything to him merely thanked him for informing her about Snape. Less than a week later Snape visited her, confronting her about her pregnancy. Lily distraught made him leave, but not before he had delivered his ultimatum. She was to tell James about the paternity of her child or he would.

It was on one of her very last check ups to the hospital that Lily discovered she was going to have twins. The healer at St Mungos was extremely apologetic about not discovering it sooner. It was then Lily had an idea. The next step she took was to explain to Snape her situation, he accepted her compromise and said he would have one child and in return for her sacrifice he would not tell James. A week later Lily delivered two healthy babies. James was conveniently working with the order when she went into labour and never discovered she had given birth to more than one child.

She now had two beautiful children and one she’d never get to call her own. She spent the next ten years bringing up her children her life seemed to revolve around them. But the time seemed to shoot by and before she knew it they were both attending Hogwarts.

She found herself stood on the train platform saying goodbye to her children each year, it was getting harder for her to say goodbye. While she was waving off her children during Harry’s fourth year she noticed stood on the opposite platform was a dark haired man and a child, well if that wasn’t a blast from the past I don’t know what would be, Lily’s heart skipped a beat as she gazed at the child, but before she had a good enough look the two has vanished.

A year has passed and Lily has taken up a position at Hogwarts, many of the order members have in the hopes they can protect Hogwarts from he who must not be named. She knows that this next year will be emotionally difficult, but hopes she will be able to finally face her ghosts.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE: (your best rp sample as that character)

Trying to go shopping with two young children and James Potter was a mission in itself. Lily Potter walked down the streets of Diagon Alley; well you could say she was walking more like she was being dragged down the street by an eager Harry who was ever so excited about seeing the broomsticks. Young Eliza on the other hand wasn’t having any of it; she desperately wanted to go home and was pulling with all her might away from Lily. At a time like this you expected James to come swooping to the rescue but he was a good few metres away swearing profoundly at the pushchair he was trying to set up. “Damn muggle contraptions!” he swore loudly as the pushchair jumped open trapping his finger, he yowled in pain scowling at the pushchair. Several wizards made a large detour around him looking rather alarmed at the scene he was making.

Lily rolled her eyes, almost ready to laugh at him before Harry tried to twist out of her hands and run for the broomstick shop at the same time Eliza started a kicking tantrum. Lily had had more of than enough of this “James Potter!” She shouted quite sternly down the street “Get over here and sort your children out!” Whenever the children where playing up and Lily was at the end of her tether she tended to emphasize the your children part. James having sussed the pushchair came running down the street pushing the chair over several pot holes, nearly tripping as he reached his wife. “Honestly Lily” He said with irritation “I don’t know why you insist on using these muggle objects, can’t we get a wizarding one, they are so much simpler”. Lily sent a steely gaze in James’s direction, “There is nothing wrong with the pushchair James!” Lily and James had often ‘discussed’ the use of muggle baby items, Lily had eventually won saying she much preferred the muggle way to the wizarding way, after all she was muggle born.

James swung the kicking Eliza into the pushchair and quickly clipped her in before she made another escape. Lily turned to deal with Harry who had now taken to using the lamp post as something to cling to as he tried to tug Lily forwards. “James can you take Harry to see the brooms, I will take Eliza to Flouish and Blotts” she said, brushing her hand through her long red locks. Lily was sporting a very causal look, wearing loose fitted jeans and a plain t-shit, with what looked like an orange juice stain that Eliza had accidentally done earlier that morning and Lily had yet to notice. Lily usually took pride in her appearance but this week had been extremely busy, James had started his new job which left Lily running backwards and forwards after two young wizards.

“Alright then Lils” James said perking up at the thought of showing Harry the brooms, “Come on squirt” he said brightly picking Harry up and swinging him onto his shoulders. “See you Lils!” and with that Harry and James made their way down the street. Lily shook her head and looked down at Eliza who was staring grumpily back. “Come on Eliza cheer up, Mummy will take you to the owl emporium after, how about that?” Eliza smiled sweetly back at Lily showing all her pearly white baby teeth, “Okay” Eliza replied pleased with her triumph.

Lily smiled before pushing the pram down the street to the bookstore. There were several books she wanted to purchase the most important one on how to help your children learn to control their powers, being a muggle born Lily had never experienced this before and although James did his best to help Lily decided she wanted to learn more about it from an...Experts point of view. Lily struggled to get the pram up the steps into the shop and was lucky to be assisted by a young wizard. “Thank you” she said brightly before entering the shop.

Lily browsed several of the shelves before pausing as she heard a young child’s voice from behind one of the shelves. "I don't know where my daddy is," Lily’s heart thumped several beats at a time, being a mother she was always very concerned for the welfare of all children and the fact that this child was lost frightened Lily. If one of her children ever lost her she would be ever so grateful to the wizard that made sure they were safe until she found them. Pushing the pushchair around to see the child she paused as the young girl came into view, the child had the reddest hair she had ever seen, but with dark eyebrows and those eyes...Lily had seen those eyes before.

Taking a deep breath she approached the child, she believed the girl shared a similar look to her young Eliza only Eliza took more after Lily. Lily had already deduced that the child could perhaps be her...but she didn’t want to jump to any presumptions. However that did not stop Lily’s heart thumping ten to the dozen as she approached, she was certain if her heart continued to race like it did she would faint. Lily paused before putting the break on Eliza’s pushchair and walking slowly toward the young girl who was now sat on the edge of a chair holding on to a very large book.

“Hello, sweetheart” Lily said kindly, looking at the shopkeeper who looked slightly alarmed as if to say i will deal with it. “Are you lost?” she continued bending down so she was at the same height of the child. As she looked at the girl she was certain it was his child. The girl had the same dark eyes as him, and Lily felt a sadness stir inside of her. She had managed for so long to live her life without thinking of what she had lost, she had been content with her life, but now she couldn’t help but regret the decision she had made. How could she have done it? She was certain she was the worst kind of person there was.
