Eye Color: Brown
Hair Color: Blonde

Piercings/Tattoos: Lily's ears are pierced.
Personal Style: As a woman Lillian adores clothes above all things. One of her absolute favorite things to do is put together outfits and style herself. Whenever she goes out of the house her clothes are very put together, classy, and extremely elegant. Her color scheme consists of soft, feminine, and primarily pastels, but she also has a few black and white pieces for serious events. Casual everyday attire consists of knee length skirts, feminine dresses, and the occasional trouser and blazer combination. For everyday footwear she generally wears ballet flats, low mid-heels, and loafers (never sneakers).
Dressing down for Lily is probably dressing up for most people. She honestly does not own a single pair of sweatpants, and even wears silk negligee to bed. When she is, however, not going anywhere she wears a pair of decent jeans and a knit top or cardigan. Lil firmly believes that a woman shouldn't deny their femininity, but embrace it without dressing like a high price call girl.
Appearance: Lily is a very attractive woman, however, her looks do not manifest in a blatant, bombshell type way. At times her beauty is overlooked because she isn't unusual, but in all honesty she wouldn't have it any other way. Her hair is blonde, and it falls just past her shoulders. Lily manages to keep her locks well groomed and extremely polished. Most days she tries to keep it natural, but when she's going somewhere special she always has it in an up do or loose curls. Her eyes are a deep brown and can never manage to mask what she is feeling. Her bad lying comes from right from her eyes.
Her skin complexion is pale, very pale. Tanning is something she does not do; Lily simply gets burned. Because of this she doesn't risk going outside without sun lotion on, and when it is extra sunny out she has a hat on. Healthy skin is very important to Lily, which is why she tries not to wear too much makeup. Most days she simply puts on a bit of blush, eyeshadow, and light mascara, and she always washes it all off before bed.

Secret(s): Lily is very afraid to be alone especially at night. Sometimes she gets so afraid she has to keep the light on and read until she finally drifts off.
Personality:
Lily is the girl standing in the room who is unequivocally classy, and ironically her mother compares her to Grace Kelly (her true self). She has a lot of moral integrity, which she strictly adheres to, and a strong desire to do her best at all times. Her strong sense of right and wrong sometimes motivates her to stray away from the crowd, and more times than not she is isolated from others. Even though she doesn't like to be alone, she really hates doing things that harm other people and herself more. This maturity is what sets her apart from everyone else.
Aside from her desire to do what is right, Lily is also very intelligent. Most of this is due to her hard working nature. She is driven and pushes herself to do her best. Sometimes her idea of "her best" is above and beyond what she should be doing. Her fatal flaw stems from the fact she wants to be the best; Lily overworks herself, and she often spreads herself way too thin. Unfortunately, this can cause the quality of her work to decrease because she is fatigued. It takes a couple bad marks to get her to relax a little and take a break, but even then she goes right back to trying to do too much at one time.
When it comes to interacting with people she is very reserved and even a bit shy. Lily is definitely not a social butterfly and doesn't pretend to be one. Unlike most girls her age she is not preoccupied with conforming, and would much rather stay at home and read a book opposed to partying all night long. Shy as she is Lily can manage herself. The one mistake people make with her is assuming she is a weak little girl who needs protected. She might be reserved, but that does not mean she isn't capable of taking care of herself.
Her favorite thing to do is go to the theatre and see plays. Her mother and father used to take her every month to see one when she was a little girl, and she has managed to continue the tradition by herself. In junior high she began to act herself, and soon she fell in love with singing and music as well. In her spare time Lily recites lines from plays, and sings songs from musicals.

History:
On June 2, 1994 Lillian Beckstrom was born to her parents Ellen and William. Her parents had gotten married at an extremely young age, and when they wanted to have children they had a lot of trouble conceiving. When Lily was finally born it was like a gift from God. They spoiled their beautiful baby girl with full realization she'd probably be the only child they would have. Lily's parents were watchful over her. After many years of complications they were not going to lose Lily to a freak accident. Lillian was not one to cause a lot of trouble to begin with and proved to be quite easy to raise, and soon their baby girl was no longer a little kid.
Both of her parents were from the United States and that was where Lily was initially born, but for a majority of her childhood Monaco was her true home. Most of her toddler years were spent frolicking in the streets of France, and visiting her wealthy grandparents in their huge home. For some reason Lily just knew the streets of Monaco perfectly, and she didn't even need a map to get to new places. Not only was she a walking GPS of Monaco, she felt different from all the other kids that lived on her street. She was more mature, not to mentioned interested in things seven year olds generally weren't supposed to be interested in. Considering she was a young girl she didn't really notice these things at all, but her parents sure did.
Lily was very close to her father. He would take her on special trips to the theatre every month to see a show of her choice. It was an event most sacred to her and one she still continues today. After her very first show she told her father she wanted to be an actress someday. Her father indulged her fantasy for a very long time. They would talk about the roles she would play, and the schools she would study drama at. On the way home from one of their plays, another driver was drunk and hit them. Both of them survived, but Lily's experience was not real. She felt as though she had been in a car accident before even though she knew she hadn't. When she was brought to the emergency room she was unconscious for days, and when she woke up she asked her mother why she wasn't dead yet. She didn't know why but she got the feeling she was supposed to be dead.
Directly after coming home from the hospital she began to have dreams/visions of someone else's life, or at least she thought it was someone else. Lily couldn't explain it, and she was too afraid to tell her parents. They would think she was a crazy person. When she was twelve years old her grandparents were hosting a dinner party for a couple of grandfather's friends. They began discussing the death of Prince Rainier III. Lily felt drawn to the name and asked them who that was. They explained that he used to be the leader of Monaco, and his wife was an actress named Grace Kelly. For a split second Lily thought she was Grace, and she began to cry. She had loved Prince Rainier and he had just died.
After that Lily became interested in Kelly, and asked her mother if she could borrow some Grace Kelly movies from her. She watched the films and had flashbacks of actually being in them and going through the process of filming them. One evening her parents were in a conversation about Hinduism and reincarnation (her father was a world history professor). Lily asked him what it was and he told her that it was when someone who died was brought back to life again in another form. That explained everything, and Lily was convinced she was the reincarnation of Grace Kelly. She knew it would be detrimental to her to tell her parents (they'd send her away) so she kept it to herself.
When Lily turned thirteen the family moved to the United States, and Lily started school at Riverdale. It was an adjustment from Monaco, but she did begin to settle down. In the middle of her freshman year she was approached by a group of students, telling her about the RSOR. There was so much consolation in knowing she wasn't absolutely insane, and that there were other people out there who were like her. Most of her time is spent bettering herself, and preparing for the future. Someday she does want to be an actress, but her backup is a history professor like her father.

Post Sample:
Natalie sighed heavily. It was late afternoon, the nastiest time of day. She would be lying if she said she was a night owl. Many a times she woke up at five thirty to get ready for the day. The Gryffindor girls who slept around her hated when she would do this because they would have to hear her rustle around. Then of course she showered in the morning and her singing woke up just about everybody in the castle. This to her was actually a very good thing. Early mornings were good for people, waking up at the crack of dawn caused the body to function. By the time classes started Natalie was wide awake and ready to go. Early mornings were the primary cause for her energy and enthusiasm throughout the day. If she woke up even an hour later her schedule would be messed up and that was a disaster waiting to happen. So many were surprised when they found out she was mentally diagnosed with minor obsessive compulsive disorder. It wasn't anything severe, she wouldn't have to be put away for it (which was an excellent thing). Natalie simply couldn't stand things being out of place. Muggles called her massively anal.
Throughout her childhood she learned to control her urges with music. Music was her escape and would continue to be her escape. Many of her friends at Hogwarts didn't understand her love for music. They found it slightly redundant especially the purebloods. Natalie had a firm opinion on the wizarding world, she felt bad for the purebloods. Many muggle borns would give to be a pureblood, but Natale was very happy just being herself. Being a muggle born was not bad actually she thought it was much better. She was able to have an open minded view of the world around her. She also had music. Without music she wouldn't be herself, Natalie functioned because she had music. Music was her friend and would continue to be her friend throughout the rest of her life. Music to Natalie was like a dog to a little child. A companion, a protector, and a best friend.
The boredom of the day and the love of music is what caused her to explore the castle. She new where she was going but she was going to take her sweet time. She had her sheet music in hand (primarily showtunes). She had a special bag for her many pieces of music her array included songs like: What I Did For Love, Maybe This Time, Don't Rain on My Parade, My Man, and many other pieces. She slowly made her way around the castle. She had a place she wanted to go to in mind she just wanted go the longest route possible to take up as much time as she could. Natalie was in a rather lazy mood today and even though music made her happy it also tired her out as well. She was a performer as well as a singer, she was usually exhausted after singing. Natalie threw her heart and soul into her performances like her life depended on it.
She finally found the place she had in mind. She usually came to this particular Tower when she was bored and lonely. Many didn't know where it was so she could be alone and be able to sing without being bothered. She slowly inched towards the door and pushed open the door even slower. She stepped in, oblivious to the other person in the room, and shut the door behind her. She slowly turned around and jumped at the sight of Frank. "Holy mother you scared me!" She said aghast. After her minor heart attack she laughed and took a seat by Frank. He was a good friend who shared her love of music. The only friend who shared her love of music. It was something special they shared.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
