{{Quote|Blind since birth, Lilly is caring, responsible and friendly - the perfect foil to [[Hanako]], her best friend, whom she shares an almost mother-daughter relationship with, in addition to their free time often being spent drinking tea. In class she is a diligent student, with her sense of confidence serving her well in her role as class representative of [[class 3-2]].|Official Description}}
{{Japanese|Lilly Satou|砂藤 リリー|Satō Rirī}} is one of the five main female characters of [[Katawa Shoujo]]. She often speaks in a very polite and formal manner, even to those she is close with. She is completely blind in both eyes; however, she never likes being pitied by anyone else despite her lack of vision, and as such has grown up strong-willed and independent. She enjoys being seen as someone who people can look up to and acts very motherly to many people around her, be it [[Hanako Ikezawa]], [[Hisao Nakai]], or the members of class 3-2.

== Appearance ==
Lilly is an exceptionally tall girl, one of the tallest in her grade. She has blonde hair that reaches her waist, which is tied up with a black ribbon. She has blue eyes that are slightly clouded. At one point, [[Hisao Nakai]] describes her as being pale.

She is usually seen wearing the standard school uniform with white stockings. She also carries a cane in her hand most of the time. Her pajamas consist of a dark navy silk shirt and a matching pair of shorts. She has two sets of casual clothes that she wears during the game. One consists of a light brown peach-off-the-shoulder sweater, a necklace with a crucifix pendant, and a beige ankle-length skirt. The other, which she wears on a date, consists of a red cheongsam and a red ribbon to tie up her hair, replacing her usual black one.

== Personality ==
Lilly is a very caring and motherly figure, going out of her way to make others feel comfortable in her presence. She is very social, having many friends in [[Yamaku Academy|Yamaku]]. She is also well-mannered and reserved, being a result of her upbringing in a previous Catholic girls' school, but she also shows her moments of weakness and childishness to those she is close with. She is an independent individual, doing many things like preparing tea and cooking food all on her own, but, although rare, she does require the help of others where sight is crucial, such as grocery shopping. Even though she is not one to bear any ill thoughts to others, it is shown that she and [[Shizune Hakamichi|Shizune]] do not get along well, even though they are cousins. 

== Plot ==
{{PlotSpoiler}}''See [[Lilly's route]] for the full plotline.''

Hisao first encounters Lilly in the tea room on his second day at Yamaku while trying to find the library. The two converse over tea and Lilly takes Hisao to the library, only to leave in a hurry after his first disastrous encounter with Hanako. Over the course of the week, Lilly helps Hisao adjust to life at Yamaku and the abnormalities of the students he encounters. Hisao also learns of the strained relationship between Lilly and Shizune. He and Hanako help Lilly and the rest of Class 3-2 prepare their noodle stall for the upcoming school festival. Later in the week the two meet one another heading into town and Lilly leads Hisao to the convenience store.  

On the way back they meet a confused Rin wandering in the streets and bring her back to school with them. Lilly notices Hisao's exhaustion and learns about his arrhythmia, making her the second student to know of it - Rin being the first. The day before the festival, Hisao encounters Lilly in town with her sister Akira and learns that Lilly moved into the dorms last year to compensate for Akira's worktime. The day of the festival, Hisao manages to tempt Lilly away from her duties at the stall and enjoy the festival along with Hanako. As they watch / listen to the fireworks from the school grounds, Hisao asks Lilly if he can spend lunchtimes with her in the tea room. Lilly happily accepts.

==Relationships==
===Family===
Lilly considers herself to be distant from her parents emotionally in addition to physically but does not resent them for it. She understands that business was of the utmost importance to her father, and while her parents moved to Scotland so that her father could take an important position in his company, it was decided that Lilly was to stay in Japan for her education with her older sister, [[Akira]]. Despite having no disabilities, Akira appears to be very close with Lilly, considering how they've grown up together. Her first cousin [[Shizune Hakamichi]] also attends Yamaku Acadamy and is in the same class as Hisao. They are both classroom representatives of their respective homerooms and are known to get into several arguments throughout the story.

===Students===

Besides the fact that Lilly is well-liked in her class as the class representative, Lilly developed a close friendship with Hanako, who could be looked at as the complete opposite of Lilly's personality. Their relationship could be close to a mother-daughter relationship, and they complement each other very well, with Lilly dealing with Hanako's discomfort around people while Hanako deals with Lilly's lack of vision. The two became friends when Lilly was assigned a dorm room next to Hanako. Hanako overheard Lilly comforting one of her friends, and she hoped Lilly could do the same for her, although it took many meetings before Hanako opened up to Lilly. Lilly has great compassion for almost all the other students but dislikes dealing with Shizune. There seems to be a certain level of rivalry between them, even if they were close a few years before. 

===Staff===
Being the class representative of class 3-2, it would be assumed that Lilly and the class teacher are on good terms.  

Lilly is also friends with [[Yuuko]], one of [[Yamaku Academy|Yamaku]]'s librarians, and goes to her whenever Lilly requires books in Braille. 

When Hisao mentions his homeroom, she says to him that he will probably like [[Akio Mutou|Mutou]] as most people do, which would also hint she's on good terms with him as well.   

== Etymology ==
* Lilly's surname '''Satou''' means "sand" (砂) ('''sa''') and "wisteria" (藤) ('''tou'''). 

==Trivia==
*Lilly shows a discrete liking for alcohol, especially wine. At [[Hanako Ikezawa|Hanako]]'s birthday party, her indulgence makes [[Hisao Nakai]] suspect a tendency towards addiction to the substance, possibly due to other senses (such as taste) compensating for her blindness. Afterward, Lilly keeps all subsequent alcohol consumption low to avoid getting as drunk, calling the birthday party a "learning experience".
*Lilly is the only character with four distinct outfits (school uniform, pajamas, cheongsam, and casual town wear).
*Lilly tied with [[Emi Ibarazaki]] for having the most H-scenes in her route (three).
*Lilly is the only character with a scene after the credits.
*Despite being blind all her life, Lilly is never seen cross-eyed, which is often a problem for the visually impaired in real life.
*Lilly was 12 when her parents left her and Akira in Japan.  
*Lilly identifies as Catholic.
*In early drafts of the story, Lilly played the cello.  
*During development, Lilly had two other sisters, Leanne and Adrianne, but they were dropped before any scenes for them were written.  
*In the beta, Lilly was originally going to be half-South African instead of half-Scottish.
