Lily Brandet, District 6

Lily is protective of herself and expects the worst from people; this leads to her being rather defensive and standoffish. When she begins to trust someone, she lightens up and becomes much more humorous, thoughtful, and relaxed. Humor is a large part of her personality, and her sense of humor fazes between dry sarcasm and clever wit. She also tends to make rather dark jokes when she is unhappy. She is intelligent and can be cunning, using her wits to wriggle out of unsavory situations. She cares deeply about her loved ones and is fiercely loyal. However, once betrayed, she becomes extremely closed off and daydreams about revenge.

Lily enjoys reading a lot and is often found rummaging around for abandoned books to add to her collection. She also scavenges for anything she can use to make art. She draws, sculpts, and builds assemblages. Her bedroom at home is full of various pieces of what her foster parents refer to as "trash," but Lily is extremely fond of her art-and-craft supplies. She also goes on runs when she is upset, and has a tendency to pace.

Lily lived with her parents and two sisters until she was six, when her father was killed during an attmepted arrest by Peacekeepers. Her mother became detached and rather spiteful towards Lily and her sisters until she eventually sent them to an orphanage. There, Lily and her sisters were seperated, and they still presently live in seperate homes. Lily's various foster homes were cruel and uncaring, like her mother had been, and Lily quickly developed a sense of resentment. She presently lives with the Masolles, and while they are kinder than her previous homes, she has had too many conflicts with them to trust them fully.

She currently works during the evenings in a repair shop, fizxing broken appliances and vehicles. She makes a meager sum of money, and is incredibly careful with her spending. She also volunteers on the weekends at a local home for parentless children, as she had a poor experience with foster homes and wants to help other kids like her as much as she can.

Lily has had no romantic partners, as her nerves and fear of abandonment have made it so that she has trouble bonding with someone enough to develop strong feelings. She also seems mean or intimidating at first glance, so not many people get close enough to her to consider asking her out. She has, however, had a few friends (Whitney Ellis and Daine Sharperd). She considers them as close as family and trusts them more than she trusts anyone else. Still, she is slightly distanced from them from fear of loving them too much; she is terrified that anyone she knows will abandon her at some point.
