<div class="floatright">(http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j480/Erion2451/Emma-Roberts-emma-roberts-7048797-307-462.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Lily Ackerly<br/><strong>Blood Status:</strong>Half-blood<br/><strong>Age</strong>:  17<br/><strong>Personality</strong>:  Lily is a sweet and kind girl who enjoys gossip, visiting with her friends, and Quidditch.  She hopes one day to play for the Harpies and win the Quidditch Cup.  She is fearless on a broom and with the Quaffle, yet is very laid back and unassuming in the classroom.  She enjoys her potions class, though she doesn’t excel in the classroom quite as well as she does on the pitch.  She is loyal to her teammates and friends, and trusts the team’s Captain enough to follow his lead no matter how crazy the play seems to be.  Lily has a handful of close friends, and seems to crush on a new boy every week.<br/><br/><strong>Background</strong>: Lily was born in Wales to a witch mom and a Muggle father.  She is the third child, and only girl.  One of her brothers is a Muggle while her oldest brother attended Hogwarts seven years ago.  Her older brother, Jeremy, the wizard of the family, and Lily don't typically get along.  He is, in her words, "Mr. Perfect" and is everything Lily is not.  After graduation Jeremy received a position with the Ministry and often rubs his superior knowledge of magic in his siblings' faces.  Her poor Muggle brother, Derek, never hears the end of how he wasn't born with magic and a tense sibling rivalry has formed between the two.  Lily is often caught between her brothers, and it seems the only time there's any level of tranquility between herself and the two boys is when Lily is giving her eldest brother a sound thumping in Quiditch.  For all his faults, at least he's a good sport.<br/><br/>Thankfully, for the family they were able to escape the dark days of Voldemort’s return largely unscathed.  One of Lily’s uncles on her mother’s side did disappear and the family hasn’t been able to find him.  He was always a squirrely type and even his family didn't know him well.  The uncle was undoubtedly the black sheep of the family, didn't attend family functions, and no one heard from him unless he was in dire straights and needed to be bailed out.  It was unlikely he was involved with Voldermort, at least that's what Lily's mom claims, but he had a history of being an all around good-for-nothing.  Other than his disappearance no harm done was done to the family.  Lily was a first year when Hogwarts was attacked, but had been removed from the school by her parents when they began hearing of the punishments being handed out under Headmaster Snape’s watch.<br/><br/>During the years Hogwarts was closed, Lily attended Beaxbatons Academy of Magic for the first year, but found it far from her liking.  The students were all a bit full of themselves, the Quidditch was subpar, and she found the food to be nearly inedible.  Lily spent the remaining four years being tutored by various relatives.  This led to rather large holes in her education and when Hogwarts finally reopened she found, to her great embarrassment, that she was placed in the third year program.<br/><br/><strong>Stats</strong>:<br/>Agility 4, Balance 1 B<br/>Animal Handling 2<br/>Athletics 3,<br/>Awareness 3<br/>Cunning 3<br/>Deception 2<br/>Endurance 3, Stamina 1 B<br/>Fighting 2<br/>Knowledge 3<br/>Magic 3<br/>Marksmanship 4,  Throw 3 B<br/>Persuasion 2<br/>Reflexes 4, Dodge 2 B, Quickness 1 B<br/>Status 2<br/>Stealth 2<br/>Strategy 3<br/>Thievery 2<br/>Will 3<br/>Qualities:  Talented Markmsan<br/>Drawbacks: None<br/>Destiny Points: 1<br/>Wand Trait: Standard<br/><br/>Health: 9<br/>Composure: 9<br/>Combat Defense: 7<br/>Intrigue Defense: 5<br/>Passive Resistance-Physical: 12<br/>Passive Resistance-Mental: 12<br/><br/><strong>House:</strong>Ravenclaw<br/><strong>Class Schedule:</strong><br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts<br/>Herbology<br/>Potions<br/>History of Magic<br/>Transfiguration<br/>Charms<br/>Astronomy<br/><br/><em>Electives</em><br/>Care of Magical Creatures<br/>Muggle Studies
