Lily Craven from The Secret Garden ESFJ by Owen requested by crazygurulala
Extroverted Feeling (Fe) "Forgive me, can you forgive me? And hold me in your heart?" Lily, as a ghost, represents warmth and forgiveness within the walls of Misselthwaite Manor. She, in life and death, is kind and accepting of everyone she knows, as seen with how she falls in love with Archibald even though he is known as a "hunchback" by the other party goers, particularly Mary's mother Rose. Lily appears many times within the show to comfort those in pain, such as when she comforts her son Colin in "Come To My Garden", and especially when she finally appears to Archibald in "How Could I Ever Know?".
Introverted Sensing (Si) "How could I know I would have to leave you?" Because Lily has died, she naturally represents the past and holding onto what once was. She haunts Misselthwaite, wandering alone and looking for a way to connect with the people she once knew ("I Heard Someone Crying"). Lily seeks most to be forgiven by Archibald for her death, as seen best in "How Could I Ever Know?", hoping that the closure will allow him to become the man he once was again. She also places much importance on her old garden, planting the seeds (pun intended) for Mary, Dickon, Colin, and Martha to return it to its once glorious state.
Extroverted Intuition (Ne) "I shall see you in my garden, where love grows wild and free." Although Lily holds onto and is literally stuck in the past, it is clear that she is enthralled by new opportunities. In the party scenes, she appears to be much more progressive than the rest of her friends in the way that she is willing to marry Archibald, even at the protest of Rose and the others. As well, Lily's garden itself comes to represent a new, better future for the residents of the manor that Lily is guiding them towards from the afterlife, appearing to Colin in "Come To My Garden" and closing the show in the finale with the same refrain.
Introverted Thinking (Ti) "No one is asking for your approval, Rose!" Lily is mostly conducted by her emotions, using her logic last. This is best seen when she is arguing with Rose about whether or not she should marry Archibald; she doesn't care what anyone thinks, ignoring Rose's warning that her children might become hunchbacks as well. Because she is a spirit, she doesn't have much physical control over the manor she haunts, finding that she can only appear as a vision and connect with them emotionally. However, this works for her, and she is able to bring the residents of Misselthwaite together after a period of suffering.
