Everfree Fever
Character Log: Lily Ink
Lily Ink is Stormy’s cousin. They have a.. tumultuous relationship. But that’s purely due to their family, the Starlets, pureblood unicorns. She grew up in Canterlot.
When Stormy was sent out to Ponyville, Lily followed. Ignoring her role at the academy because she didn’t trust a Pegasus and an earth pony to be safe. Without magic what could they do against the horrors of the Everfree?
When Stormy charged out of the forest Lily had never seen the mare so shaken. She was the one to try and heal the open wound of her wing after Skyfeather was the one to cut it off. Which quickly taught them that healing magic responds violently to to the infection which is why Stormy has such a big scar on her shoulder now.
Lily was there when Steele’s body stumbled out of the Everfree before the spell over Ponyville was cast, a faux sense of hope. It only lasted a month before it violently backfired.
Since the infection has started to spread, Lily cut her mane, tail and the long tufts on her hoofed short so they can’t get grabbed or snag on anything. Despite being a spoiled child she was surprisingly serious about it all. She didn’t break down the way everypony thought she would.
Lily uses the magic she learned at the Academy for Gifted Unicorns to keep the group she travels with safe and next to Skyfeather, makes sure Stormy takes care of herself.
The mare is adamant that her or Sky go with the others when they need to scavenge for supplies. This isn’t a Timberwolf or a Chimera. This is serous. While she’s not as bad as her family, Lily still has her beliefs that Unicorns are more fit to survive against such threats due to their magic. She isn’t half wrong either as Healing magic is amazing against the infected but non-magical means of self defense works just as good. Their most valuable skill set is being able to cut off a bitten limb or being able to teleport out of the situation.
