Appearance

General | When Liliana's bright blonde hair is down, the closest to a natural curl that it will come to is a light wave, not that she would have it down in public. Her eyes are a bluish grey and she stands at five foot two inches.

Expressions | Liliana's expression can be tough to read. More often than not, she will have a smile on her face. Her cutting words and glares are typically subtle. However, certain stressful situations bring out the worst and her, she can often end up being catty and blunt.

Deportment | She likes to keep her head held high and attempts to seem above it all.

Fashion | Fashion is something that seems second nature to her. For context, the moment the newest trend was discussed in Hogwarts, she was eager to send letters to her father and beg for new clothes. As a married woman, her husband now has the honor of pleading eyes and sweet smiles until he allows her to get the latest designs.

Accessories | Liliana loves to accessorize. Often she can flawlessly complement her outfit with her accessories, though sometimes her accessories can be a bit much.

Scent | Depends on the circumstances. She has a wide array of perfumes that range from strong to incredibly light. This typically reflects the social gathering that she is attending.

Face Claim | Taylor Swift

History

Born in a Precarious Situation

Late 1871 Liliana's mother was a beautiful woman, though a hint vain if one were to be honest. Charming as she was, she had not been born to wealth. That did not stop her from looking to the future, and she planned to attempt to convince Trystan to marry her after convincing him to come to her bed. This goal was not achieved, though the attempts were... delightful. To later learn that she was pregnant and unwed was, however, not so delightful.

1872 Liliana Emily Selwyn is born and actually becomes claimed by her birth father. Her mother had passed while giving birth to her and any family that could have come forward had chosen to remain silent in the hopes of a better life for the child.

1874 More illegitimates are born, later to be known to Lily as her twin cousins. Her father is placed into an arranged marriage with a woman who hates everyone.

1877 Chaos in London. Lily overhears a lot as she wanders the halls, and there is some concern felt for the well-being of her uncle in London.

1880 Grandmother dies.

1882 Grandfather dies and Lily's father becomes the head of the household.

Small Reprieve

1883 Off to Hogwarts and she is sorted into Gryffindor. This isn't something she expected, though she doesn't think it's wrong.

1885 — 1886 Her chosen electives Divination. She has a real 'gift' for seeing the hidden desires of her peers.

1888 She ends up having a very large crush on a quidditch player. This is quite inconvenient given her loathing for the sport. Her OWLs aren't the greatest in the world, but she passes well enough. By the next school year, she has chosen to keep Astronomy, Charms, DADA, and Divination.

1889 At the end of the year, such a crush has faded, as teen crushes tend to do. Still, she does like the thought of finding a nice, handsome gentleman to settle down with.

1890 Her last year at Hogwarts and her step-monster is absolutely no help in choosing a dress for the coming out ball. The very nerve! Liliana is quite determined to find a husband as soon as possible to spite the old bat.

Running for Cover

Mid-November, 1890 Liliana begins courting.

February 14, 1891 A birthday party turns into an engagement party when Liliana is proposed to by her courter. Obviously, she says yes.

Flying Free

June 30, 1891 Liliana and Chester marry, making Liliana a Parkinson. The step-monster isn't there, like the selfish hag she is.

June 2, 1892 Trystan Chester Parkinson — named Trystan to honor his maternal grandfather and Chester in honor of his father — is born as Liliana and Chester Parkinson's first-born son. Liliana is particularly proud at this development. Especially pleased with Chester's allowance of her naming choices.

August 1, 1893 Another son is born and named Elwood Lilian Parkinson — named Elwood in honor his paternal grandfather and Lilian as a masculine version of Liliana's own name. Liliana craves having a daughter.

September 14, 1893 Dragon attack in London. One sister-in-law dead by dragon, mother-in-law ill by dragon pox.

September 23, 1893 Liliana's most antagonizing sister-in-law — Jessamine — gets on her last nerve, but slips up in the process and reveals a secret boyfriend. Taking the biggest advantage of her life, Liliana decides to blackmail her so she will finally be treated with an ounce of respect from the foul wench. There may be other benefits to this blackmail that she has yet to uncover.

Personality

In Public | Liliana tends to portray herself as a people pleaser, though will eagerly participate in gossip when given the opportunity, especially among friends/'friends'. Despite her sugar sweet attempts, she does tend to come off as catty.

In the Home | Her husband sees an incredibly sweet side of her, though most of it is more gratitude and relief to be in a more stable environment. Her children are left largely to the nannies, though she will show them off at teas and while entertaining guests before fancy dinners.

With Her Natal Family |The relationships are definitely complex at the best of times. While her father receives the most adoration, her step-mother and a fair majority of the other Selwyn clan have earned her contempt in one way or another. A few have her favor, though not many.

Other

Amortentia | Liliana has never quite been able to pin down what the scent is. She pays this inconvenience no mind in her day-to-day life.

Patronus | Likely a dove

Boggart | A bed with blood on it

Star Sign | Aquarius

Hobbies | Trying to predict the love lives of her friends, reading novels, and drawing dress designs - though she knows that this will likely not lead anywhere other than hovering over her wedding gown

Pets | A cat named Eros and a horse named Harmonia

You likely know...

That she is a bastard and claimed by her father.
She live with him and his family while she was not in school before her marriage.
She can be a bit of a flirt, though it isn't to a scandalous extent.

You might know...

About how badly she was crushing on a certain quidditch playing student.
Her step-mother was not in attendance at her wedding.

You don't know...

That one of her aunts is actually her half-sister.
About just how many bastards her father has fathered.
That her youngest sister-in-law has a secret boyfriend, Liliana knows about it, and she's black mailing her about the secret.

Plot Preferences: Personally, I love making plots. I like planning things out. However, I'm also willing to plan things out, to then ditch the plan completely if the muse takes me and those I thread with in another direction. My characters tend to do as they please, leaving me wondering what on earth I just typed. Trying to make them do something that they will not naturally do seems strange, and won't work the way that the plan was supposed to.

"Mature" content does not bother me in threads. Language and violence don't bother me (though if we are gonna do smut, there has got to be a good reason for it happening at all and I would prefer if we fade-to-black). However I'm not comfortable doing these things if it would not be something that my character would do, and/or if it is not for plot development.

For me, I like to try to type as much as my muse will allow. Typically I try to match with the other poster, if not posting more. I do not expect anyone to have to match my post word count if their muse does not call for it.
