Personality:[/size][/font] Lily is what you would call a shy person. It is probably due to the fact since she was young she had a very over protective father, not to mention eleven older mothering sisters. Because of that she never really had the chance to do anything on her own. If she wanted to go anywhere she was always escorted by at least two of her sisters. It’s most likely the reason today that Lily still retains many childish tendencies. She’s extremely gullible and more than one either her father, or her sisters, or her eldest sister’s husband have had to save her. She also allows her family to continue to baby her, even though deep inside she is tired of it. Lily believes no matter what she’ll always be seen as the baby and there’s nothing she can do to change it.
However, a deeper reason Lily acts as she does, it due to the fact she is traumatized from dancing in the fairy court every night since she was born. Even though the spell has been broken, Lily continues to have nightmare after nightmare that the fairy court is going to make her dance again. It is due to these recurring dreams Lily refuses to dance and has a fit every time she is invited to a ball, not to mention her irrational fear of men. She only trusts her father and her eldest sister’s husband, that’s it.

History: [/font]Once upon a time, there was a Duchess who desperately wanted a son. However she knew it was quit impossible, due to the fact she was barren. Convinced she must give her husband a heir. The Duchess traveled far and wide looking for a fairy that may help her. However, luck wasn’t on her side, instead of a good fairy, she accidently met an evil fairy king who had long been banished. The fairy King, tricked the Duchess into making a bargain with him. If she agreed to dance at the fairy court every night for 12 years, he would grant her 12 children. The Duchess agreed, believing she would have 12 sons. Instead of 12 sons, the Duchess had 12 daughters. After Lily was born, the Duchess died and the fairy king was happy. After all the only reason he had helped the Duchess, so he could have 12 brides for his 12 sons. After the Duchess’ daughters finished dancing for 12 years, he would force them to remain in his court forever.
Thus Lily began dancing in the fairy court since she was one day old. Though at first she was merely carried in her prince’s arms. In fact, Lily learned to dance before she could even walk. At first, Lily enjoyed dancing every night until she fell asleep at the balls. But as the years passed, she began to dread each night more and more. Her sisters had to coax the youngest child to go with them, even though she hated it.
When Lily was six years old, their father, the Duke had enough. Every night, the girls who slept in twelve beds in the same room, with their doors are securely locked. However every morning their dancing shoes are found to be worn through as if they had been dancing all night. Every time he tried to make his girls tell him where they went, they refused due to their late mother’s bargain. The Duke, perplexed, promises his dukedom and one of his daughter’s hand in marriage to any man who can discover the girls’ midnight secret within three days and three nights. Many nobles tried, but all failed, due to the fact, Lily’s older sisters drugged each man with a sleeping potion in wine every night.
Then one day, a simple soldier came and said he would like to solve the riddle. The Duke losing all hope, had no choice to give him a chance. That night after they drugged him with the wine, the 12 sisters dressed in fine gowns and escaped from their room by a trap door in the floor. However Lily didn’t feel the same as every night. There was something different about it. However her sisters told her not to worry about it. They went through the trap door, which led into three groves of trees; the first having leaves of silver, the second of gold, and the third of glittering diamonds. It was there that Lily felt someone trample on the hem of her gown. Once again Lily told her sisters something was off, but they did not listen to her.
Finally they arrived upon a great clear lake, where twelve boats appeared with the twelve princes waiting. When Lily entered her boat, she noticed her prince was rowing slower than usual, but she didn’t think anything of it. Finally, the 12 sisters arrived at the castle and they were forced to dance the night away. and they were forced to dance the night away. For the next two nights, Lily continued to think something was wrong after they drugged the soldier. Her prince continued to be slow when rowing his boat and strange things kept happening.
After, the three nights the Solder revealed he knew where the 12 sisters had been dancing every night, in a fairy kingdom underground. He showed the Duke three branches, one gold, one silver, and one diamond, as well as one of the goblets from the ball. Once his story was over the sister’s rejoiced, for they were finally free. The soldier married Lily oldest sister and they all have been living happily together til this day.
However, Lily being so small when this all started and traumatized from the experience still refuses to go to balls, and especially will not dance.

Role-play Example:
Tori had bee dreading this for the past few days, not the whole ‘let’s go to a nightclub’ plan, but the fact that Jessica was picking out her outfit. It wasn’t the fact, that she didn’t like Jessica’s style. Tori just happened to be a very conservative dresser. She wasn’t the biggest fan of showing skin and Jessica’s hints of what she may be wearing had put her over the edge. However, when Jessica had come over to her suite, outfit in hand, Tori was surprised at how much she had loved the outfit Jess had picked out for her. She would have never picked out something like this for herself. In fact, Tori had had her own ideas of what she should wear, and most of them involved wearing jeans, not dresses.
The point was Tori was now dressed up in one of Jessica’s fabulous dresses and she was seriously planning on having a good time. I still can’t believe my father actually believed that I was going to just sleep over at Jessica’s host family tonight. She found herself thinking as they arrived in front of Studio Glam, the place they agreed to hang out tonight. Now all they had to do was wait for Jessica’s friend Mei Ju.
Tori had heard a lot about Mei Ju for the past few weeks, Jess couldn’t stop saying nice things about her. The hotel heiress was actually looking forward to meeting her. Besides maybe Mei Ju wouldn’t be a so gung-ho about making her try to flirt with guys and encourage her to drink alot. She knew Jess was a very determined person, so it probably wouldn’t matter in the long run anyway. “What time did you say Mei Ju, was meeting us again?” She found herself asking as they continued waiting near the entrance.
