1. How do they handle happiness, anger, disappointment, and love?

Happiness is a term that Lily would have a hard time describing. Sure, she knows that it has to exist. But, that doesn’t mean it’s something she’s ever even felt before. Even when there’s a peaceful moment in her life, it’s clouded by anxious fear that something is going to go wrong. As it always does. 

Handling her own anger is a talent Lily has only recently become accustomed to. Before joining Sanctum, and up until a few weeks in, the girl would absolutely fly off of the wall guns a’blazing in an instant. Controlling her temper is an extremely complicated task, but working on that is something she’s been dedicating her time to. Not only for herself, but everyone around her. 

If anything, disappointment is what Lily is most familiar with. Since a young age.. well, as long as she can remember, she’s constantly been let down by almost everyone she’s ever known. Now, she considers it more of knowing she was right about something or someone from the beginning. Even handing out some of her own disappointment to a few people, something she isn’t proud of. The one thing she relies on and constantly repeats is that the vibes don’t lie. Ever. 

Love is such a strong word in her eyes. There is maybe a handful of bodies she’s ever felt such a strong bond with, most of them residing only minutes from her now. Being heartbroken from the start, she’s learned to only trust your love with yourself. Place is somewhere else instead of relying on another person for that comfort. Give it to those worthy, or keep it for yourself. 

2. How do they respond to someone outside of Sanctum asking questions about The Organization? Make this realistic.

Being the secretive person she is, especially about things pertaining to her own life, Lily will avoid giving anything away on The Organization other than referring someone in Phoebe’s direction, finding her the most obvious choice considering how close the girl feels to her. She doesn’t really have much contact with anyone outside of Sanctum, and to be completely honest, she doesn’t want to. 

3. How do they respond to attacks on their character?

If you know Lily, you know that she’s always been a firecracker just ready to explode. She doesn’t tolerate rude behavior, other than her own, and her mouth usually reacts before she even thinks. Sometimes physicality is on her mind, and has been displayed in the past. However, gathering herself, along with negative feelings, is how she tends to deal with things as of late. Stating her point or simply responding with humor is her normal go-to.

4. Where, in their background, do their reactions to the above things (and everything else you mention) come from? Meaning, why do they do the things they do?

If being asked this question, and having to respond with the complete truth, Lily would tell you that it all started when she was only a young child. Sheltered for most of it. Abused by her father and brother for even more. That’s where the disappointment and need to protect herself stemmed, along with her mind, feelings, and everything else that comes with it. She’d make sure you knew that it didn’t stop there, and followed her throughout her early adult years. Failed relationship. Friendships. She believes that everything she’s been put through has only prepared her for Sanctum. To be who she needs to be, and live a better life.
