== Appearance ==
Lilly is an exceptionally tall girl, one of the tallest in her grade. She has magnificent 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.


She is half Scottish (on her mother's side) and half Japanese (on her father's side). As such, she has extended family in Scotland, and was taught English at a very young age.

[[Hisao]], being new in the school, is looking for some directions. He meets Lilly, who seems to be more than happy to show him around. They quickly become friends and Hisao is pleased whenever he can help her out. As Lilly spends more time with Hisao, she begins to worry more and more about him. Soon enough Hisao begins to pick up on this new found behavior, but waves it off. Hisao then begins to feel a different aura between them later on. Eventually later in the story Hisao and Lilly confess their fondness to each other. Hisao and Lilly then tell Hanako about their new found relationship and she is very supportive of the two. Soon after arriving back at the academy, Hisao then tells [[Misha]] and [[Shizune]] about him and Lilly. Hanako gives more space between Lilly and Hisao, claiming to be working on the newspaper with her new found friend Naomi.
