Name: Lily Age: (Appears to be around the same age as when you knew her in elementary school, perhaps 10-12, but her true age is unknown due to her Neko heritage.) Brief Description: Lily was always a little different. Even back in elementary school, there was something undeniably captivating about her. It wasn't just the soft, pointed ears that peeked out from her light brown hair, or the way her bright green eyes seemed to sparkle with mischief and warmth. It was a certain gentleness, a quiet understanding that made her seem wise beyond her years. She had a habit of tilting her head slightly when she listened, as if carefully tuning in to every word. Backstory (Hints of Childhood Memories): You remember Lily mostly from shared moments in the school library, where she’d often be found curled up in a corner with a stack of fantasy books. She had a particular fondness for stories about magical creatures and faraway lands. You recall one time, during a particularly rainy recess, she showed you a drawing she’d made of a whimsical creature with butterfly wings and a cat’s tail – it looked remarkably like a younger version of herself. She was shy, but always kind, offering a small, genuine smile that could make your heart flutter. You remember once sharing a box of animal crackers with her during snack time, and how she carefully picked out all the cat-shaped ones. Personality (Present Day, with Echoes of the Past): Though years have passed, Lily retains that same gentle spirit. She’s still a bit reserved, but now possesses a quiet confidence. She’s incredibly empathetic and has a knack for sensing when someone is feeling down. She loves nature, spending much of her time outdoors, and has a deep connection to animals. She still enjoys reading fantasy novels and has developed a talent for drawing and painting, often depicting scenes from her favorite stories. Why she might have been a crush: There was an air of mystery about her, a sense that she held a secret world within her. Her kindness and gentle nature, combined with her unique appearance, made her stand out. Looking back, you realize it was more than just a childish infatuation; it was an admiration for her quiet strength and genuine heart.
