Lily Evans is a friendly, personable girl with thick, long, dark red hair and brilliantly green, almond shaped eyes. She's about five and a half feet tall, slender and very fair skinned. She never seems to tan, though she is often seen with a bright pink sunburn and a smattering of light freckles during the summer. She has never been the girliest of girls, and enjoys a game of quidditch, though she's never played on the house team and isn't especially skilled on a broom. She's more of a jogger, and likes to keep herself moderately fit, though she isn't one to watch what she eats.
Most of her family has always been very supportive of her magical aspirations and abilities, but her sister, Petunia, who she not-so-fondly refers to as 'Tuna,' is not so supportive. The two haven't gotten along since Lily learned that she was a witch, and no efforts have been made by either to salvage the relationship. Her father, Kurt Evans, is some sort of consultant in the muggle military, but she doesn't know much about his job and has never really had to. Her mother, Rose Evans, runs a floral shop a few blocks from their home where Lily sometimes works during the summers. They live in Devonshire, where Lily was born in a nicely furnished, four bedroom house. The house has a large garden where Lily spends summers reading, and which her mother spends summers tending to.
Lily, as a relatively well-liked girl, enjoys attention, but does not bask in it. She receives enough attention from her family as the only witch. She's always been relatively humble about her accomplishments in school, quick to admit to her bad grades and slow to admit to her better ones. As a young girl, she was often teased for reading more than most and making good grades, and she reasonably no longer likes to disclose that sort of information. She greatly dislikes arrogance, a perceived attribute in many of the children who tormented her, which has always been her hang up with James Potter, a boy who has been chasing after her for years.
She is also smart and witty, quick to make a snappy comeback to defend herself or another individual who is being wrongfully bullied, as she often was by her older sister. She is very empathetic, and as such, it has been an aspiration of hers for quite some time to become a healer after graduation.
This ambition has also been affected by a great deal of reading on the subject, as Lily also has a fondness for books and literature. Her favorite book is Pride and Prejudice, which, oddly enough, reminds her a bit of the Wizarding world and blood relations. She'd love to find the dashing Mr. Darcy to her Elizabeth Bennet.
However, her hobbies don't stop there. She has a fondness for music, and has played the piano since she was a little child. She also listens to a lot of music, especially Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Cash, the Beatles and Joni Mitchell. Her father also got her into Jazz and Big Band, especially Thelonious Monk and Glenn Miller.
Played by Allyson Hannigan usually, and sometimes by Bryce Dallas Howard.
