Lily is a handsome woman with black hair and blue eyes. She has an athletic physique and a quick wit, and has a generous smile. Her cheerful exterior belies an inner sadness which she takes great pains to conceal.
While she's a skilled politician, the real strength of her power lies in her ability to delegate. She has a keen eye for competence, and has no qualms about giving shrewd subjects the leeway to perform the functions of their office. She is kind-hearted and generous, and as such is quite popular among the commonfolk.
