Backstory: Lilly came to Hogwarts from a muggle orphanage rather like Tom Riddle but... Ya know... Less evil.
Her parents were killed by a magical plague that had spread through her small village wiping out the town of 20, leaving only Lilly who had been away at a muggle boarding school. Hogwarts took her in when she was old enough and things went smoothly until her third year when she was struck with cruciatus curse by a dark wizard she had encountered in the forest. She had been separated from the other students she had ventured into the forest with, who found her collapsed by the bridge back to the school. After three days unconscious in bed she woke up relatively fine, though headmaster Dumbledore had his suspicions. In the following week, she began to have episodes where she would fade out in class and stare blankly at her paper, terrified but not knowing why. Professor Snape noticed this during one of his classes and called her to pay more attention in class. When her state remained unchanged he asked her to wait for him outside the classroom. Apparently, Dumbledore had warned him to watch out for signs like this, for Lilly didn't seem to remember what had happened that night. So after class, he used his legilimens on her and found out that she had been cursed. Unfortunately, the legilimens released the memories from their repressed state and affected her somewhat like a poison. Since that moment she developed a twitch, a shiver that in it's early stages caused her a lot of pain. However, a potion was devised by Professor Snape that helped negate the effects of the curse. Not completely, but enough for Lily to resume her studies. However, she also suffers terrible nightmares that prevent her from sleeping in the dorms with other students so she sleeps in the top of Ravenclaw tower, by the roof. The twitching (and accompanying pain and uncomfort) increases with strong emotions, especially with fear. Her best subject is potions but her favorite is the defense against the dark arts, however, she has trouble focusing when casting spells. She was also unable to perform her redikulus spell in front of the class because she didn't want them knowing what (or whom) she feared most.
House: Ravenclaw
Blood: Pure-blood
Crush: None
Personality:She is (and always was) sweet, and kind to everyone no matter what house. If you had trouble with something she would be there to comfort and help you even if she barely knew you. That's the kind of person she is, so nobody really dislikes her. Especially since a lot of them feel sorry for her. But she doesn't want their pity, she just wants to be treated like a normal student as long as she's not dying. She really sees the best in people. She'll be friends with you even if you are an arrogant prat, or, someone who repetitively makes terrible choices. You know who you are. She's rather animated if you talk to her, and she always seems to have an upbeat demeanor about the whole thing (the whole thing being specified as life, in this case).
Best Friend: None (though she's friends with almost everyone)
Other: She has a pine, phoenix feather wand, 10 3/4in, surprisingly swishy
