22 years old and works as an Auror (Training Programme). She is a Muggle-Born who currently sides with the Order. Her pronouns are she/her and she looks like Sophie Skelton.
Lily Evans has always tried her best, in every aspect of her life. She has always pushed herself towards being an accomplished student, a good daughter, and a loyal friend. Even though life has already dealt her a number of serious blows, she keeps trying. It’s just in her nature.
Inside of the classroom, she showed herself to be a responsible, talented and high-achieving student, which was proven to be true when she was chosen to be a Prefect by her Head of House, and Head Girl by her Headmaster. She excels in Charms and Transfiguration, and also has a knack for Potions, which Professor Slughorn has described as an instinctual understanding. Lily isn’t so sure about that, but it’s better than Divination. As determined as she was in her studies, it sometimes led to her feeling burnt out, wondering if she should just drop out of Hogwarts and work in her mum’s bakery instead. Those thoughts never lasted long, though, as Lily has entered into the training programme for Aurors (and she has burned far too many cakes to be allowed near her mum’s oven again).
Outside of the classroom, Lily is known for being a vivacious, friendly and loyal person. She has always been the type of person to smile at someone who she doesn’t know, or to volunteer herself for a task that nobody else wants to do. She is loyal to a fault, and will do whatever she can to support her friends, even if that meant helping them pack their suitcases half an hour before the train was supposed to leave or help them cram the night before a test. She always knows what to say and never misses a beat when retaliating with comebacks in her arguments, which she jokes is just the fiery colour of her hair coming through in her personality.
But even though she has a sharp tongue and has no problem in standing up to others when she feels that she needs to, Lily is still the type of person who wants to give others a second chance. With all that is wrong in the world, she wants to see the best in people, even when they have made mistakes in the past. She can be stubborn with this belief at times, wanting to protect herself from getting hurt again, but she will give someone a second chance if she thinks that they deserve one. At the end of the day, she has sound moral principles, and chooses to stand by them regardless of the cost, because she knows that she would find it too difficult to look at herself in the mirror if she didn’t.
Lily attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and was a member of Gryffindor House.
Roles: Prefect, Head Girl

Born in Cokeworth, England, Lily Evans was the youngest daughter of her Muggle parents, William and Rose Evans. The Evans weren’t an extremely wealthy family, but Lily had enjoyed a comfortable childhood alongside her older sister, Petunia, with whom she was quite close to during those years.
Lily’s world was forever changed when she was nine years old, and met a young boy from Spinner’s End. Severus Snape, or Sev, as she called him. He had been the person who told her that she was a witch, and taught her all he knew about the wizarding world before she had even received her letter. It should have been a time in her childhood that she remembered fondly, but these new abilities and her friendship with Severus strained Lily’s relationship with her sister, to such an extent that it never truly recovered.
As did all magical children, Lily received her Hogwarts letter on her 11th birthday, much to the joy of her parents. They accompanied her to Diagon Alley to buy her school supplies, where she couldn’t contain her delight at getting her wand in Ollivanders’, even though it had taken a while to figure out how the different currency worked there.
The following school year, Lily started her attendance at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She met other students on the train and on the way to the Great Hall, where she was sorted into Gryffindor House, and went on to share a dormitory with four other Gryffindors; Mary, Marlene, Dorcas and Alice.
It hadn’t taken long for Lily to make her mark in Hogwarts, both inside and outside of the classroom. She found it surprisingly easy to make friends with the other students in her year, and became quite skilled at Charms and Transfiguration. As the months went by, she also displayed a proficiency for Potions, which eventually led to Professor Slughorn inviting her to join his Slug Club in fourth-year. She excelled in her studies, to such an extent that she was given the role of Prefect and Head Girl.
With her grades, Lily knew she would have options when she graduated from Hogwarts. There were so many opportunities, both in the Wizarding World and the Muggle World. But she knew that, with the rumours of Death Eaters taking a stand against the ever-changing world and whispers of Dumbledore planning to fight back against them, that she wanted to take a stand and fight for what’s right. Which led her to enrolling in the Auror training programme, watching the developments with a close eye so that she might be ready to step up when called upon.
Standing at 5'4", Lily is a fairly pretty girl, with thick, auburn hair that falls to her shoulders, and almond-shaped, bright green eyes. During her years in Hogwarts, her uniform was usually worn with everything in the right place, except during exam seasons when she was lucky to remember to wear shoes. Since graduating, Lily still tends to dress herself in a more academic style, but at the weekends she can often be seen roaming around in the comfy sweaters that her mum buys her for Christmas, or the Liverpool scarf that her dad bought for her last birthday. She will usually wear her hair down, unless she is doing a kind of activity where it would be a nuisance if it wasn’t tied up. In her spare time, she will usually have a camera around her neck, or a pencil tucked behind her ear if she has her journal with her.

Muggle Opinions and Blood Politics: Since she was Muggle-born and wasn’t raised amongst other witches and wizards, Lily hadn’t known about the prejudices that some wizards held towards Muggles and Muggle-borns until she had met Severus. He had assured her that being Muggle-born didn’t make a difference, even if he had since changed his opinions on the matter. So, it comes as no surprise that she doesn’t hold any of those prejudices, as she was raised in a loving home and couldn’t have asked for better parents, She has witnessed the harm that such opinions can cause first-hand since entering the Wizarding World, and does her best to prevent it from happening to others. She adores Muggle technology, and doesn’t know what she would do without it.
Religion: Lily was raised as a follower of the Christian religion and attended church weekly with her family when she was a child. Now, she would hardly be considered devout, as the only prayers in her mind were the ones that she sent to the universe to help her do well in her exams. She will still go to church with her family when she is at home during the breaks, but the only time that she ever really looks forward to going is around Christmastime.
