Lillian grew relatively tall for someone of her pedigree, growing to a height of 5'8. Although she didn't even enter America until she was over two and a half, she doesn't know a single word of Korean and Japanese, and has a very strong Southern drawl. However she has a tendency of constantly claiming that she is bilingual, speaking both 'English AND American'. Interestingly enough, both of her parents were identical siblings to a parent and wife of two other Congressmen, making her, on a biological level, Andrew Seong's cousin, and William Reynard's niece. She is also a proud member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. | Lillian grew relatively tall for someone of her pedigree, growing to a height of 5'8.

Biographical
Lillian Wolfe was born as Seong Iseul-yoon (����) to a Zainichi Korean, Seong Jae-sung and Yamada Yukari. None of whom Lilliam remembers. Shortly before the birth of Iseul, her father caught a serious disease. Rather than paying for his healthcare, the Japanese government simply opted to deport him to South Korea. Yukari followed. Jae-sung died three days after entering the Republic of Korea, in his home city of Gwangju. Five months after giving birth to Iseul, Yukari 'disappeared'.
What happened to Iseul is unknown, but she was denied South Korean citizenship due to being an orphan. Japan refused to acknowledge that she was a citizen by claiming that there was no proof that one of her parents was Japanese. As a result, Iseul was rotated between adoption services and orphanages for two years. No Korean OR Japanese family even contemplated adopting Iseul because both Korean and Japanese families viewed her as 'racially impure'. Not to mention adoption is typically anathema in Asia. Although she claims that she remembers nothing during this period, she still maintains a curious simultaneous detestation of both Korea and Japan. This came to an end when an adopter, in an unsuspecting place, was found.
Robert Edward Wolfe and Julia Neale Wolfe, a relatively wealthy family, with extremely long roots in Florida (dating back, as they proudly note, to the Confederacy), adopted Iseul. Robert Wolfe was fifty-eight years ago, and historically a prominent political enemy of the Civil Rights Movement, when he adopted Iseul. He was also proud for noting that the first vote he casted, was for Strom Thurmond in 1948. Being completely unable to pronounce Iseul, and having no actual idea how to pronounce it, he legally changed her name to Lillian Clemantis Wolfe (how he pronounced it).
Robert Wolfe, although fairly prominent for squashing civil rights protests with a heavy hand, became one of the few segregationist politicians to hold onto his political office. Some suspected that his 'renouncement of segregation' seemed more sincere after his adoption of Lillian. She was the only daughter in the Wolfe family, having three older brothers, and one younger brother. However, she quickly became the favorite child by becoming the only child to show a wish to continue in the family career: politics. Partially because of the strong support of her father, she was elected in a rather colorful campaign to the congressional seat that he vacated when he retired. Despite the fact that her father was a Democrat (and proudly an old Dixiecrat), she was elected as a Republican.
Lillian grew relatively tall for someone of her pedigree, growing to a height of 5'8. Although she didn't even enter America until she was over two and a half, she doesn't know a single word of Korean and Japanese, and has a very strong Southern drawl. However she has a tendency of constantly claiming that she is bilingual, speaking both 'English AND American'. Interestingly enough, both of her parents were identical siblings to a parent and wife of two other Congressmen, making her, on a biological level, Andrew Seong's cousin, and William Reynard's niece. She is also a proud member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
