Bio:


Lily Mitchell
The days were long and the nights so cold
The pages turn and the tale unfolds
Full Name: Lily Mitchell
Age: 21
Date of Birth: June 2
Hometown: Norwhich, Norfolk, England
History
The wolves they howled for my lost soul
I fell down a deep black hole
Born in England, to a working class family, Lily hasn't experienced a fairly normal family life since she was four years old. That was when her parents divorced after a year or so of shouting matches and dysfunction. And since then, things haven't really been good at home. Her father cheated on her mother with his first wife, whom he ended up going back to. Already with an older sister (by four years) on his side, Lily got a half-brother not long after her parents split.

About seven years after the divorce, her mother found someone else as well, and from that union Lily got yet another half-sister. Due to the hate being instilled on both sides against the other, Lily has always been regarded by her siblings as "the other one", since she is the only one on both sides who has the hateful father and the hateful mother. Or so both their spouses say.

She went to college at sixteen to get her A-Levels, amongst which were Music, Photography, Media Studies and French. There, in music class, she met a boy named Drew and they soon fell head over heels. They never let each other go again. They would talk about leaving Norwich and start a band together and make it in music. However, due to financial complications, in late 2008 Drew moved to New York City. One of his American family members had gotten him a life-saving job at a club as their permanent gig. Lily was crushed by these news, but Drew promised her it would only make their dreams easier if he made a little money to pay off his immense debt - made by his own mother on his name - and that she could move in with him later, when he was more established in NYC. In March 2009 Lily decided they could no longer be apart and, with the help of credit cards and her savings from working Part-time at New Look, she decided to go visit him.

Drew couldn't have been happier, and his family welcomed her with mostly open arms. What was supposed to be a week trip turned into a more permanent thing, with Lily accompanying him to gigs as a singer - something she always wanted to try - and living in the family house with him. It seemed like they were well on their way to living the dream, seeing as they were good and thus beginning to get known in the scene. Their cute but solid duets attracted more clientèle to the club, and Lily was very happy with her life.

However, one fateful night, due to having forgotten her phone, Lily came to the club's staff room to find Drew halfway through having sex with one of the bartenders. Apparently, this had been going on pretty much since Drew first started there. Completely crushed, Lily gathered what little dignity she could maintain and moved out of Drew's family's home. Drew didn't even come after her.

With her dreams shattered and money running out, Lily stayed at a youth hostel a few days before going back to Norwich. She came home to a fairly unwelcoming family - even her mother wasn't that happy by the turn of events - and having to face the choice of what to do next.

She saw the advert on a newspaper once, and promptly applied, albeit without much hope for anything. Apparently, fate smiled upon her this one time, and she won entry into the Nausicaä's maiden voyage.

Family: John - Father,
Martha - step-mother,
Lucy - older step-sister (on her father's side),
Ben - younger step-brother (on her father's side),
Beverly - Mother,
Jeremy - step-father,
Maddie - younger step-sister (on her mother's side),
Drew - ex-boyfriend (after 5 years)
The Person
She poured the drinks and she poured the power
Diamond girl who could talk for hours
Physical Description: Lily is a little weird in the way she dresses, because she looks almost always like a walking anachronism. Her style is the closest to the golden era of cinema and a bit of post-war (1940s-1950s) as it can be. She has long hair, which she wears either black and straight, or red and styled in the way of Veronica Lake and the likes. In sum, Lily likes to dress up, and takes a long time to make sure she's perfect.

Personality: Lily is a dreamer, always has been and always will be, despite the tough spots she's gone through. She is sweet, soft spoken and affable, and has a fragility to her that is very hard for her to hide. There are absolutely no violent tendencies in her, although she can get a little crazy. However, 'getting a little crazy' for Lily means things along the lines of singing and dancing in the middle of street, for instance. She is quiet until she gets to know someone a little better - then she's very friendly and open, and until very recently she was somewhat sheltered when it came to toughing it out on her own. She has never really had to do that. Deep inside her there's a daring spirit and a wild side that she's only experiencing now, although very cautiously; she figures since she's already here, she might as well do all the things she dreamed of doing but never thought she would really get to do. Really she's trying very hard to heal her heartbreak, which is proving itself difficult due to the mild depression that weaseled its way into her recently. Finally, Lily has a deathly fear of wasting her life with nothing to show for it.

Special Skills/Abilities: Singing, knitting and speaking French

Personal Weaknesses: Unwanted - It's how she feels, and really it's what she is. Out of her family, her mother used to be the only one who accepted her in full, and even that's gone since she came back. Everybody else calls her 'weirdo' amongst other things because of the way she dresses, and she'll always be the 'other daughter' to her step-siblings as well as her parents' new partners. And now, even Drew, whom she thought was the love of her life, seemed to think her worthless if he went and did what he did virtually the second he landed in New York. (that's not exactly how it happened, but it's what she sees)

Hurt - Everything, from her family to her ex-boyfriend has taken such a toll on Lily when put together that she can't get over how hurt she is, at the moment. It affects her deeply in everything she does.

Naive - Because of being such a dreamer with her heart on her sleeve, Lily trusts too easily and sees the best in everything while overlooking the worst. Too bad the worst tends to win out when push comes to shove, and she's nowhere near ready for it when it hits.

Crippling fear of failure - Lily is so afraid of her life being wasted, of failing and of herself and her life not living up to her own expectations that at times she doesn't even move, so as to make sure she doesn't fail. She wants things, and wants to be good at things, but Lily is sure she couldn't handle any more disillusionment, so sometimes she just misses out.

Personal Strengths: Soul - It's what she has the most, in her voice and in her personality. She's charismatic but sad and fragile, and it gives her a certain something that is quite special.

Dreamer - While this could be bad in certain circumstances the truth is this is the thing deep seated in her that doesn't let her lose hope. The fact that she can always dream, because dreams are free of charge, and then maybe try to make them real.

Sexuality: Mostly straight

Traveling With: Alone

The room

G DECK - 8201 - The Phoenix

The Phoenix is a grand, lovely room, that immediately transfers its occupant to a mythical place. The floors and furniture are all dark wood, with warm-colored cushions and upholstery. The walls are grandly panted in every inch, to depict a brilliant blue sky, and more importantly, a giant fiery-colored Phoenix. A golden sun-shaped lighting fixture is in the center of the ceiling. The main room features a loveseat and two armchairs, as well as a flat screen TV on the opposite wall. The balcony doors are also in the mainroom.

The Phoenix theme continues in the bathroom, the fiery-colored tiles cover both the floor and counters.

The bedroom is near identical to the main room, although it has a night theme instead of a day one. On the walls, the phoenix soars through sparkling constellations - fiber optic lights are over the bed and are in the shapes of actual constellations. The queen size bed is decked out in white and almost looks like an inviting, fluffy cloud.
